Whats going on? I put my game on pause overnight, and when I opened it today there were skeletons all over the land. When I took it off pause, they all went into a huge pile in front of the crypt. There were about 40 in all, according to the population count! And since they all disappeared instantly, they'll never be recorded in the crypt. Luckily, it didn't include my Founders, who I want to try to keep in the tribe indefinately.
Will there be an update to this game, correcting the glitches? Like the one that causes the kids to not study anything in the nursery...mine show "choosing a subject", then "Nothing" then they run away.

I'm sorry it took so long to reply. We had a problem with the forums over the weekend, and we've been busy recovering from that.

Could you tell me a little bit more about this situation? Do you remember exactly how you paused and unpaused the game? Was the game left on, or did you quit (either from the Main Menu or using the "X" on the window) after you paused it? When you returned to the game, did it actually say "GAME PAUSED" at the bottom of the screen?

We are working on high-priority bugs, but we have never seen a game do what you described. Unless we can recreate it, we have only a slim possibility of figuring out what's happening, which is required in order to fix it.

Hi LadyCF, thanks for answering. I use the spacebar to pause my game, & its always worked before this. And I shut the game off for the night, from the main menu. There are some odd subtle things happening in that first game. I'm pretty sure it was still on pause when I turned it back on, but at this point, I'm not 100% sure. I've started a new game, correcting some mistakes I made in that first one (like letting population fall, and so losing the resurection power).
As for the children not studying, it still looks like they don't, but their skill level does go up.
Thanks for continuing to work on the kinks. I'm very impressed at the high quality and imagination in the LDW games..each one is more fun than the last! ^,^

It's possible that you forgot to pause it that one time. I know that I have done that occasionally in all the years I've been working with our games. blush Please let us know if you see anything like that happen again.
