    I don't know if this is related to the Game Center bug, but it started about the same time, so maybe it is.

    Any time I do something on any of my devices with the GC problem....open a note, App Store, Photos, etc.......it asks me to give my Apple ID verification. Over and over. Whether I give the info or click on Not Now doesn't matter. It'll ask again in 5-10 minutes without fail. Just annoying.

    Does anyone else think cperience this?

    And yes, I'm on iOS 9.3 and have a dead Game Center.

    Nah, it's definitely not related to Game Center. Did you change your account password recently by any chance?

    Also, I'm on iOS 9.3 and have Game Center randomly start up twice in the last 24 hours and instantly die. I literally opened up every single game on my device and tried playing them so I could delete the ones that require Game Center.

    Thanks. Just wondered. I haven't changed my password but I did change my email address as my previous ISP went belly up.

    Hope your GC keeps working! Good luck!

    I have a theory why this issue is caused.

    Anyone here installed paid apps for free over vshare or something like that? Because I just restored my device and without installing vshare it's working fine @@

    My Game Center started working all day out of the blue? Not sure how long it will last for.

    1. Read the damn thread and you'll see that a lot of people experience the bug without being jailbroken.
    2. Stop talking about piracy on these boards.
    3. Don't expect support when using vshare or any other pirate store.
    4. Stop repeating the same question again and again.

    Not me. But this has gotten beyond ridiculous. I play a lot of card/board/strategy games that rely on GC for multiplayer. Useless.

    I have to conclude that Apple can NOT fix this issue with a patch.

    So I just got my wife's iPhone 6 and I'm about to try and recreate the bug the way I think it's made.
    If it works I can get a replacement phone and also help more with all that I have documented already.
    If u guys have been following , a few pages back u can read everything that I have been doing leading up to this point.
    Now I'm ONLY going to be downloading the new iOS 9 and TestFlight with TestFlight games only.

    Here I go. I'll post on any of the info from before and from this if anything happens

    Well this was weird. I was downloading VG earlier because I saw the update. While it was downloading, I decided to check Doomsday Clicker. GC hasn't been working for about a month now. All of he sudden when I log on though, the GC banner drops down saying: "Welcome Back FRnchFRy." I couldn't believe it. (I wasn't on airplane mode just FYI.) I was so excited because I thought GC just fixed itself. I tried to check GC from settings. Not workin. No idea why this showed up completely out of the blue, but it did. I wish I took a ss, but I didn't.

    I will randomly get the GC banner drop down in new games I've downloaded, but that's about as far as it goes. Even in those games where that happens the actual GC functionality doesn't work, as it never seems to be able to load leaderboards or achievements. Yet another wrinkle in this annoying mystery :-/

    Same thing happens to me randomly. Even in older games. I get the Welcome banner, but GC functions don't work and nothing in GC loads. Also, occasionally if I try to open the GC app, I'll get that first tab with the balloons, but none of the other tabs load. It's like it's some sort of connectivity issue.

    Ok. Now it's acting REALLY weird. I just went into settings cuz my wifi is...well...ya. Anyways, I rejoined my wifi and I went to see if GC was working cuz I'm an idiot, and for whatever reason it just magically started working again. Now, obviously this might not be permanent. But it's definitely weird. GC has been completely broken for over a month now. Why all of the sudden has it started working again???

    Edit: So as I went back into settings after typing that. I back out of the GC tab, tried to go back in, and....no luck. I don't know what to think at this point.

    For now I don't get the bug, but today Game Center is loading slower than usual (but it's loading)...
    The beginning of the end? :(

    Apple doesn't care about Game Center. Ok.
    I don't buy games in App Store then.
    "Great" deal!
    I spent hundreds US $ and they had very solid piece of this cake. 6 months they do nothing with ridiculous bug.
