Will an update erase saved progress?
Big Fish says game updates do not cause progress loss in most cases. If a specific update might affect progress, the company says it will show an alert. Read any in-game or update warning before proceeding.
Do these 3 things before closing this tab:
1Clear out junk files and repair common Windows errors2Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitches3Repair Windows errors before they cause bigger problemsIf a PC or Mac update fails
First identify whether the problem is an available update, a failed download, an installation error, or an activation issue; the remedies can differ. Big Fish’s PC troubleshooting guidance covers browser prompts, Game Manager settings, reinstalling the app, security software that may be blocking it, and temporarily closing other programs. Use its official troubleshooting article for the steps that match your error rather than applying one fix to every failure.

Check compatibility separately from updates
An update being offered does not establish that an older game will run on every current Windows or macOS version. Big Fish’s technical-help index has separate PC and Mac resources, including Windows troubleshooting, Apple Silicon information, graphics-driver help, and Game Manager support. For a particular game, check its own system requirements and relevant support page.
Big Fish’s mobile terms say device software may need updating from time to time to receive its offerings. They do not guarantee that any particular older game supports a current device or operating system. Mobile data or provider charges may apply, and the device and network connection are the user’s responsibility.
