Does anyone know the minimum requirements to play the new Dubloon Disaster? The window pops up but I can't get to the Main Menu. The Main Menu button is there and a "0%" in the corner. The rest is horrid blackness. I have waited for up to 40 minutes to see if the game would load. Any ideas?
Just click on the Main Menu button and it'll take you right to the game screen. Apparently there's some introductory animation that's supposed to load and play there, but isn't working. Unless you've tried that already...just pointing it out, because it confused me too.
For those of you still trying to get your Dubloon Disaster challenges done - especially if you're aiming to beat 1,200 - here's a strategy someone posted here a long time ago (forgot who it was, sorry!) that helped me out a bit. Instead of letting two mines at a time pop up, then baiting them into getting so close to each other that they blow each other up - just let them keep coming (they'll stop after 8 or so). Then sort of 'herd' them into the middle, and treat them like one giant mine instead of a bunch of little ones.
This makes it easier to just snap up dubloons that appear around the edges. Yes, a dubloon will sometimes appear towards the middle, and you may have to take some time to maneuver the mines far enough away from it. And you'll still need patience. But I just thought I'd share this method, in case anyone wanted to try it. Good luck!
It's 9 mines max and that's the key to getting high scores in addition to having lots of time on your hand. So far I think this has been the easiest AAA challenge it just requires patience on the gamers part.
