Android Compatability Update

Post by loboLoco » Sun Aug 01, 2021 2:33 pm

As of August 1, 2021, the Google Play Store imposed a new technical requirement on all apps: to be 64-bit format rather than the old 32-bit format. The vast majority of Android devices support 64-bit apps, but very old devices (pre-2017) may not -- many of those support only 32-bit apps.

To comply with the Google Play Store requirement, we upgraded WolfQuest for Android to 64-bit format. Therefore, those very old 32-bit devices cannot run this new version of the Android game. We are looking into ways to support both 32-bit and 64-bit devices, but technical complications may prevent this.

Again, this change is due to a new Google Play Store requirement that we must comply with. We apologize to players with old devices that cannot run the updated game. If you have such a device, please bear in mind that if you buy a newer Android device, and use the same Google account as before, the game will run on your newer device and your purchases will be restored.
