Daily Free Games Problem

GameHouse Forums > Support

I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong but everytime I try to download the free game of the day and play it I keep getting an error. I've tried logging into fun pass as well as if I had purchased the game both ways tell me I don't have privilages.. can someone please help me as I've missed out on quite a few games I would have loved to have but can't get them to work for me.

I'm having the same problem. I've even reset my password to be sure I was typing the correct user name and pass. Is this a possible firewall issue? Please help, I just signed up and would hate to feel I can't use all the wonderful things about GameHouse

Thanks!

I downloaded the hollywood tycoon today and when i click on load then my name it loads and stops half way through and don't move. If anyone knows why this is plz tell me it's very frustrating. And it was also a free game of the day.

Although I am not a FunPass subscriber, I am both a GamePass and FunTicket subscriber ...and one thing folks need to pay attention to about the free daily game...it says if you log in to it, it converts from ad supported to regular options. I take this to mean that if you have a FunPass, your game download no longer will operate as a free game, but rather as however you view/play it as a FunTicket member.

I have purchased several of the free daily games thru GamePass or FunTicket, and simply logged on after purchase...ads were gone, no new download needed. Trying to play without logging on showed it to now be a 60 minute demo instead of the unlimited free.

My problem is a bit different. I registered yesterday and downloaded the free game Cake Shop. It downloaded fine, but during the install process when I came to the screen to "choose folder" and clicked on the link, it did not show my folder tree, nor could I type a url into the blank space! I x'ed out and another screen with a survey appeared, I tried to take the survey, but again there was nothing, nor could I refuse the survey. Am wondering if the download was defective or if there is a known problem.

Appreciate any help you could give me! Thanks!

I'm totally confused now guys, I thot if you were funpass you didn't need to DL the free game cuz you could play any game any time as long as you want. Funtic members, don't reg. game because don't own game, it's free trial and is ad supported.

Some folks still want to own the game, ad supported or not

FunPass, FunTicket, or GamePass member..it doesnt matter. You still need to download the game, and if directed, log in. FunTicket or direct purchase lets you own the game, but you must still log in with the account it was purchased through. FunPass allows you unlimited access to a game during your subscription, but a download of it is still required as is a login for use.

The Daily Free Game is ad-supported and unlimited in trial unlike a regular download (and you effectively own it, unlike the usual demos); but if you log into it with FunPass or with a purchase, it converts to an un-ad-supported game, whereby the ads never play. If you then try to play later without logging in, it shows as a 60 minute demo, as per any usual download til registered.

I appreciate the information, but it still does not explain why when I DO DOWNLOAD the game and try to login it will give me the error, "You do not have privileges to use FunPass at this time"

If I don't have privileges, what am I paying for??

there are 3 sections when you go to play the free games. Go to the section that says free games and you should be able to play them.
