That hasn't worked for anyone as far as I'm aware. Quite a few people are having this problem, which is why it's being addressed in the upcoming patch. They didn't give a specific time for when the patch will actually show up, but it's supposed to be pretty soon.

Exactly. I was in a TA boosting session for the Lexi... painful achievement, and didn't look at the full achievement list, and if you don't get that one first, it'll glitch. So, I got my 50 games played to pop, but not 10 wins in a row. *sigh*

I've only seen people write about a possible "upcoming" patch, but haven't seen any links or quotes from the publisher, firmly stating it'll happen.

I'm hoping it's true, there may be hope yet for getting v7.8 on my LG Quantum!

It's a blast from the past.... Flight Control review Comments most appreciated as always!

Seems a little too rumor-y to be believed, but we'll see soon enough.

So, is anyone buying Skulls of the Shogun?

I agree, but it would be pretty nice to finally get 7.8.

Nokia released a video saying the update was available now. Also, many users on the forums are confirming the update.

Oh, and Skulls of the Shogun is awesome! It seems to annihilate my battery, though.

Nice. I'm hoping my HTC Arrive gets the update. I haven't seen any mention as to whether it will or not, I would think (and hope) it will.

I'm gonna get the Skulls of the Shogun demo sometime this week and check it out.

What are the chances this will actually roll out to the HTC Trophy on Verizon today? Anyone check?

Paul, I don't think you've covered this yet (unless I missed it), so I thought I'd mention it because I personally think it's rather important: another thing that Microsoft really needs to address is the inability to migrate game saves to a new phone. I don't know how difficult it would be to program, but it seems like it would be simple to either place gamesave data in our GDP files (just like many XBLA titles) or allow us to back everything up to SkyDrive. This alone is one of the biggest things holding me back from upgrading to WP8. We also need some kind of file manager for our phones, but that's not specifically an Xbox Live problem.

I don't know if this is something you would consider sufficient, but here's a post mentioning the update over on the official Xbox forum:
http://forums.xbox.com/mobile_games/...8.aspx#2080248

7.8 is the tile-resizing update.

The most agreed-upon solution to the save data issue is cloud saves. All WP games can use cloud saves and it's not much work. Not many devs do it yet though... That'll be one of the points in my next article(s).

Hmmm....sounds like my HTC Arrive won't be getting the update.

Wasn't there a new Nokia exclusive supposed to come out today? Must not be wp8 compatible. Can't seem to find it.

No update on my LG Quantum either, of course the Mango update was staggered, so maybe at the tail end of the 7.8 rollout older devices like mine will see some love. Again, here's hoping!

Also, I went ahead and got Skulls of the Shogun, I played the demo for a few minutes and enjoyed the gameplay and humor in the game. $5 is really expensive for a smartphone game, but I haven't got one in awhile so I splurged.

Cloud saves are a must! I am on my 5th Windows Phone (long story) and it's frustrating to start my games all over. This is also another issue that, to me, has to be put on the shoulders of MS. When they announced cloud saves for Xbox 360, to my knowledge, it was universal. Game developers didn't have to do anything or else it wouldn't have supported every game from the very start? Unless I am missing something.

You and me both.

Does anyone know how exactly to purchase the Zombies!!! Dlc? I am using an HTC Arrive, I deleted and reinstalled the game to make sure I had the newest version, I just can't find it anywhere. I'm hoping it's not delisted.
