Pseudo Stamina Bug: Beware of mafiawars.com

Share:

UPDATE: I was unable to reproduce this on the next two tries so it's very possible it has been fixed. My additional stamina held up on mafiawars.com and in the unframed state.

I've seen quite a few players state that they lost the extra 25% stamina they gained from the Power Packs as soon as they performed a game action. This wasn't a surprise as Zynga has had a long history with this type of bug. For some reason stamina causes issues when it goes over 100% . We saw this all the time when the Daily Take offered a 125% Stamina Boost (1).
I tested it out and found that everything worked great when I was playing from Facebook. When I went to mafiawars.com, I lost the extra stamina and went down to 100%. Remember when you unframe Mafia Wars you are automatically directed to mafiawars.com.  This applies even when you unframe from Facebook.  The best way to prevent losing your extra stamina is to say in a framed game from Facebook and do game tasks manually until you reach 100%. I'm working on videos to document and will post those at a later time as you need to wait 8 hours between Power Packs.

  1. Zynga seems to be prone to that kind of thing alright and the worst thing is, they don't even care...
    A few months ago I've spent 10 Euro paysafecard on their game and got myself some new items. Everything worked fine only that the day after those items were missing but the money had been booked from the card. I wrote to Zynga and they never replied. Fuckers...
