They could at least tell backup about that path.

Who cares about highscore ? It's just a game...

Yeah, my scores were completely reset too. Now I have to start over again. Frustrating. Especially after I paid $1 for the extra levels.

Because as I explained this earlier (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=800593) , as far as I, and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, know /var/opt/ *is* the right place for placing variable data for packages in /opt/ hierarchy.

I was pointed out the osso_backup registeration which I have implemented already and will come out in the next update. But guess what, I still lost my progress when updating to PR1.3 using Ovi Suite. Apparently it doesn't know anything about osso backup...

I'd love to make the situation better some how but I don't know any proper solutions for this. I even lost all device settings when updating through Ovi Suite even though it stated that it will backup them.

Miika, you most likely have more access than most of us here to someone from Nokia that should know about this to fix it. Start kicking some a** :D

this I have asked myself 3 times after I've flushed one savegame with every level @ 3 stars, and couple with multiple dozen 3 stars. I always remember this after reflashing ;)

Yet another thing that should be researched fully, to ensure that you get maximum enjoyment from the n900...

More time researching! Less time of actual enjoyment!

Can't we just make a simple symlink pointing in the users folder in the meantime?

So we know what the problem is and we know where the game files are stored...

Question is, how would you restore the permissions after restoring the files from /var/opt/rovio/angrybirds?

I'm fine with using xterm, I just don't know enough linux to know what to do!

Many thanks
