I’ve got terrible luck… [Bubble Tanks 3](http://www.kongregate.com/games/HeroInteractive/bubble-tanks-3?acomplete=bubble+tanks+3) won’t let you escape the first bubble if you have any of the “download tank” boxes checked when you start. The game is still playable if you uncheck those boxes but why are so many games breaking down? And how does that even happen?

I’ll take a shot in the dark and say that the game is designed not to let you out of the bubble if there are no enemies to place, and if you have tanks being downloaded, it probably doesn’t use the local archive at all. Now, say, if the server went down, you’d have no tanks to place! So I figure it’s the server – does anyone know for sure?

Just to keep things in one place [here is my thread](http://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/261015-how-to-almost-get-sola-rola-to-work-very-close) on how to almost get Sola Rola to work.

Not really broken but I thought I would post this here. If you keep going out of the screen at the title screen of Fracuum, it will eventually take you right to the boss. Not really a big deal to fix though because 1. You don’t have a gun, and 2. No coins either. edit: @Blizzard: Yeah, I was thinking about that, but who would really bother to do that instead of actually beating the game; it’s not that hard :P

You don’t have a gun You can enter the second box, get the gun, then exit and go down from the start. Doesn’t help with the second medium which is where the difficulty is anyway though.

If you zoom out straight away before entering the normal level and getting the gun, you’ll go through the game’s hard mode where enemies shoot two bullets instead of one. There’s a whole bunch of in-game (Newgrounds) achievements associated with hard mode – ‘Clever’, ‘Greedy’, ‘Genocide’ and ‘200%’. So, there isn’t really anything to ‘fix’.

Solipskier has extremely slow API. Waited 2 hours until it submitted 1 score.

6 Differences doesn’t finish even though you click the final difference in the final level. You can click the buildings as many times as you want to and they flash like they’re fixing, but nothing else happens.

I’ll need someone to confirm it, but [Scope – First Blood](http://www.kongregate.com/games/TheGameHomepage/scope-first-blood) didn’t work for me. I submitted the missing badge and was awarded it the next day, though, so it’s really not that much trouble. But if anybody else has some problems with it, it might belong on this list. I also had trouble even getting onto a Heroes of Gaia server, and when I finally did I realized there’s no way I’m going for those badges anyways.

In the instuctions it says: “NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU CLICK VIEW SCORES/ACHIEVEMENTS AT THE END OF THE GAME, THAT’S WHEN YOUR ACHIEVEMENT IS AWARDED.” – did you do that? Anyway, I just tried it and it worked, but it took a good 15 seconds after looking at the scores page before it registered, so maybe it’s just slow.

I decided to finally pick up the Dinowaurs hard badge. I know about the issues with getting matches started, but I also know about the workaround of using another site for my friend to play on, so no real issue there. I’m stuck at starting the game up, with it never going past the “connecting” screen after the second or third logo. From what I’ve trawled through this was an issue at launch for linux users using flash 10. I use windows, and I’m using flash 11, so it’s possible flash 11 broke it further. I’ve tried installing flash 9 and 10 after uninstalling 11, but Kongregate (and Newgrounds) are asking me to install flash, so I think I’m doing it wrong. Is Kongregate still compatible with pre-11? If so, could someone give me a really simple, 2-year-old-could-understand, guide to replacing flash 11 with flash 9? I know Dinowaurs is still, technically, playable, because there are comments on the game right up to May 14th this year implying such. I just need to work out what’s going wrong at my end, and which hoops to jump through. I’ve tried using Chrome and IE so far.

@askon Yep, I did that, and I even waited around a bit. It’s probably just really slow, like you said. Thanks for checking it out!

The Hard badge for Backyard Monsters is now broken as well. Can’t say I’m surprised.  And another thing, unless I’m missing something obvious here, it looks like the 3 badges from Caesary no longer show up in the badge browser (the default badge browser, not BadgeMaster/SavageWolf). Seems like the unobtainable badges are finally getting removed, better late than never I suppose.

StrangeCastle is right, the Caesary and Battalion: Arena badges are gone! This is a great day for badge enthusiasts everywhere, from the highest ranking military personnel all the way down to Girl Scouts.

Yep, this is our first step in cleaning up badges that you can’t earn anymore. If you have already earned the badges, the badge will stay on your profile and you’ll keep the points from it. However, if you didn’t earn it, it will no longer show up in the badge viewer for you as an unearned badge.

I can’t seem to find the Caesary and Battalion badges in the viewer even though I earned them. :s

I found the Battalion: Arena medium badge in your badge list awarded on Oct. 19, 2009 but didn’t bother looking for the others.
