Microsoft solitaire collection stopped working on Apple iPad IOS as of January 1, 2022

DougFare · Jan 11, 2022

I play Microsoft solitaire collection on my windows 10, 11 desktop, with no issues

On my Samsung android phone, with no problems

and up until January 1, 2022 on my Apple iPad. Only on the apple iPad do I get a “download error message, internet required”, all other internet functions work properly on the iPad, and I can play offline games after exiting the error messages , the error code site is useless. I prefer to play on the iPad. How can this be repaired? I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it as well but still doesn’t work. I have logged out and back in, I’ve restarted the iPad, I have the same issue with my wife’s I pad

There was an error downloading game data for solitaire please check FAQ “website”. Error code 101 - try again - cancel,

Yet it is connected

I had the same issue. Found a post elsewhere which said it was likely to be a VPN issue. I disabled my VPN (Norton) and was able to log in without any issues. Left it a while and then re-enabled the VPN and it still works.

I have had this issue off and on for years and it was bogus. Now I don’t sign into my Microsoft account for much of anything except Xbox and this reply.

My solution was simple and it solved other annoying issues - namely the nads.

I assumed root cause was not logging in to account.

So I deleted MS Solitaire. I replaced it with Brainium. Problem solved. I ignore their very infrequent login in screen.

Bonus. Nads can be exited almost instantly. There are usually 2 X’s per nad. Takes maybe 4 seconds. And these nads seem to honor the mute sound on nads which MS nads just ignore and usually force 30 second nad on you.

My internet is working fine and all other internet related functions on my ipad are working fine. Microsoft solitaire collection just does not see the internet for the challenges.

Apple requires all controllers to hold an MFi certification
(Made For iPhone/iPad) to be recognized and work properly with all iOS and tvOS devices. Without this certification, any games that have been built via Apple’s specifications and that you would like to play will simply ignore uncertified controllers
even if you can manage to pair it with iOS or tvOS.

I’d suggest that if you want to use a controller with your iPhone or iPad that has an MFi certification.
