Games not showing up in Game Center.

Question

Games not showing up in Game Center.

When I look at 'Games' under Game Center, it shows 0 games. When you click on the 'Find Game Center Games' button it takes you to the 'Game Center' section of the App Store, where surprisingly enough there is a game in the Game Center' section of the App Store that I already have on my iPod Touch, but isn't showing up in "Game Center" on my iPod Touch.
How do I get the "Game Center" to see the 'Game Center' games that I have already installed on my iPod Touch?

Mac-Mini G4, Mac OS X (10.5.2), Airport Express/Bluetooth

Have you updated the app? I'm presuming you need the most up to date version of the app to get access .. but that's only a guess .. I'm still waiting on mine to be delivered :P

Yes shortly after my iPod was updated to iOS 4.1, I went to the App Store and there was a new update for it waiting.

Eric, had the exact same problem as you (how I found your post). I just figured it out though, you need to launch the game on your device so that Gamecenter knows you have it. Opening and closing should work. Then it should show up in Gamecenter.

Hope this works for you.

Nope that didn't work... Do I need to add friends first? Be nice if Apple gave some instructions....

Can you access game centre from the game itself? I noticed that in a youtube video of someone trying it out .. that you could access the game centre in a multiplayer option in the game menu?

That might add it to the centre for you to use otherwise?

Also maybe e-mailing the game creators or looking at their website might give an answer .. it might be that their game has a bug? Can you try another game centre activated game (are there any free ones .. I don't know).

Facebook game, doesn't support muilti-player mode.
I've emailed Zynga asking about it.

This is one big, fat fail. I remembering being thoroughly annoyed when Game Center was supposed to be released with the 4.0 release, only to find out later it wasn't. And now we finally get it and it's absolutely useless. Get it together, Steven!
