We didn't force a reset! For some reason, some players are still reporting difficulty saving their progress. Did you experience a crash? Please feel free to message us the conditions upon which you lost your progress. We'll be adding a feature soon that will allow players to start over ,but not completely from scratch.
Weird. Have you tried a Hard Reset since the update? I know no-one likes to do it, but it can often help alleviate bugs caused by new updates.
