nothing, before you can play it, and after each game, and if your connection has changed, like from WiFi to cell, or to a different WiFi, it doesn’t cache the data and try on the new connection - no, it freaks out and won’t save your score and won’t let you continue playing. The game is obsessed with your internet connection, even though it really shouldn’t need it to play a card game!! It takes forever uploading and downloading. I just wish the Microsoft underneath didn’t cause so much suckage. This is the best gameplay, most attractive and satisfying graphics and interaction of any solitaire game out there by far. It’s too bad because this is the game I play the most. I am beginning to think there’s no reason for me to keep my premium membership on the site when I get shafted by it so often. It’s especially painful when it’s a very long match with a lot of points like the anniversary game play was. What’s the point? By the time I get back in and replay my last game it doesn’t matter how well I’ve been doing, the time lost gives me an insurmountable handicap. Lately I’ve been choosing just give up on it completely. My choices are wait and wait to see if somehow the glitch fixes itself (almost never happens), close the game, reopen it and then have to replay the game I just finished, or just give up. This has happened too damned many times, and it’s super frustrating, especially when I’m doing well and bam! I’m locked out. I got not quite a third of the way through the whole thing, finished a klondike game and the screen froze as I was waiting for my score to be counted and the next game to show up.

The problem is that I like to play competitions and too often I’ll be in the middle of playing and the game will dump me out or freeze. The games are fine, the graphics are good, the art is decent, there’s a good breadth of art.
