It’s possible they’ve deleted you or even Game Center itself. Perhaps thinking Game Center isn’t worth it anymore or ...?
Maybe she did. She was a top Friend & we exchanged every day. I kept getting Gems & Treats from her for a week or 2 but I couldn’t give them back because she was no longer in my Friends. She finally quit giving me anything. I forget her name but she was a friend from our old forum...I’d recognize the name if I saw it again...you’re remember her name too. She never did join this forum.
Sadly, while the iPhone upgraded to iOS 13.5 well, the iPad however is now crashing frequently in DV 😒 Four times in four minutes, gah! Now I’m wishing I hadn’t.... 😢 update trying low rez, and so far so good is anyone else getting the GC pop up every time you log into a game of any type? and if so, have you found a fix? I can’t find anything on the web so far, other than “delete” GC

Did you install DV from your iCloud backup? Uninstall and reinstall might help. If the GC pop ups are goal oriented per game, those will eventually disappear.
You can’t really delete Game Center but you can disable it by signing out of it in your iPad settings. This will cause any friends you’ve added through GC to no longer show in your game’s friends list.

I know my Game-Center-only friends disappeared when I upgraded to iOS 13 not long ago. (I am another person who hesitates before upgrading.) It turned out that I had to sign-in to GC in the social menu of DV to get those friends back. So, the problem was on my end not theirs. They could see me and gift to me, but I couldn’t see them to gift to them. It took me a couple of days and lots of trying this and that to find the fix, but I did get all my friends back. I’m thankful because I had no way to contact some of those friends.
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

Yeah, that’s why I haven’t . decided this am to be a compliant wee kiwi (you Have no idea how hard that is 😈) and follow the pop up all the way thru it’s various screens...let’s see if that makes it go away...might just be a ‘dumb’ prompt; ie tells me abt GC even tho I’m signed in..🤞

grandpakenny, I agree with wapatango. If you can see your Game Center friends in your Gifts lists and they can gift you, but you can’t reciprocate because the gem and treat buttons are darkened, then you need to press the GC Login button under Social, so your park is signed into GC. You may have to click the button a couple times, and close and reopen your game, but it should resolve the issue so you can gift them again. Occasionally, the game will logout of your GC account.
But if your GC friends are gone, which I think is what you stated earlier, then they’ve either deleted you and/or disabled their GC account.
I know it’s causing all kinds of problems with DV, but hopefully they’ll be ironed out soon. You’ll definitely need to play in low resolution mode. If your iPad is signed into your GC account, and following the GC prompts don’t work, click the GC Login button under the Social menu so you can send gifts to your GC friends and visit their parks — see above and wapatango’s post.
adlerist any word on the Facebook fix? I’m receiving gifts that I can’t return. 🙁 I’ve logged out/ in Facebook and still not showing up in my friends list.
Edit: I restarted the iPad and now some of my Facebook friends are now showing in DV. 😊 Still missing a few.

Deca said they’re still looking into the Facebook issue and are currently testing a fix. They’ll give us an update once the internal test results are complete. They didn’t provide a timeline, but hopefully it’ll be soon.

adlerist , thanks for the reply. Yes, I still have several Friends from GC whom I trade with daily and they’ve never disappeared. 🤞

This is what I came here for. I just noticed some of my friends are missing. I guess it's been going on for a while but I wasn't paying attention lol. I have all my Game Center friends it's just facebook. I'm glad they're working on it thanks!

That's cool you got some friends back! I haven't noticed getting any back but I just realized they were missing today. I would have thought they'd fix it all at once, not slowly, one friend at a time 😄 Whatever works tho!

I didn’t notice any missing until today either. One FB friend sent a gift that I couldn’t return. Logged out and back in to Facebook and restarted iPad. That friend returned but I noticed others were missing.

Thanks for the tip!! I restarted but I didn't log out and into facebook I'll try that and see if it works. Thank you!!
PSA: the always marvellous and innovative Game Representative CalliAlli and the DragonVale Facebook team discovered a possible solution to regain some of your missing Facebook friends.
Deca is still working on this and are aware it is a high priority, critical issue. But while we await their fix, this could help restore some DV friendships. Please follow the steps below and post your result here in this thread, or if you prefer, you can message me. I will forward all the information to CalliAlli . Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you for posting this adlerist . I checked Facebook per above and DV is active. I’ve signed out of Facebook inside the game, restarted my iPad and recovered at least one friend. I signed out of Facebook from Facebook itself and restarted my iPad. I couldn’t tell if any friends were restored that time but some are definitely still missing.
Edit: I went through my friends list on Facebook to look for the ones I know played DV. The 5 missing friends no longer play DV. Only one that’s missing from my friends list still plays. She has several Facebook/DV accounts and still shows up in 2 out of 3 of those accounts so I’m still able to send her gifts, just not to the account I normally do. Someone mentioned it might be from not accepting the new TOS from DECA. (Sorry, too lazy to look up who.) Since the ones I’m missing no longer play, I’m leaning towards agreeing with that idea for the cause of the missing friends.
Ok, two successes, thanks for all the support folks! Being compliant (smh) and following the (unnecessary) set up GC popup through to end, after upgrading to iOS 13.whatever, has sent away the pop ups ... yaay And moving to low rez has stopped the game crashing every 30 seconds or so, whew.
Must be that iOS 13 adds demands on ram, do you think? Weird, but park looks fine, there is a diff but it’s all goood 😄 (happy snoopy dance insert)
hope everyone gets their pals back soon. 🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨

adlerist To add to the Facebook friends confusion... I have a friend sent a gift but didn’t show up in my friends on the iPad so I couldn’t return her gift. However, she DOES show up in my friends list on my Android phone. I don’t envy DECA trying to sort it all out.

chris, I think the the higher demand on RAM came with this recent Event...I noticed more frequent crashing on my iPad Air 2 occurring when looking up breeding combos in the Rift. Prior to this Event the crashes occurred right after coming back to the Park after having collected from Rift Habitats. Now, it crashes while still in the Rift. Yes, I’m running Low Res.

I tried logging in and out of facebook and restarting Dragonvale and none of my friends showed up, but thanks for the tip I'm really glad it worked for you! I'll keep trying. I hope DECA can fix this soon!
adlerist I checked to make sure my facebook permissions were on and I told some other players to check too. I'm paying closer attention to see if any friends come back. I hope people can figure it out that this is what they need to do. Thanks for the info!

That’s interesting. I hadn’t heard of this issue being cross-platform. I’ll pass it on, thank you!
