OK, I spend about an hour playing Virtual Families 5, New Believers. Pause the game and quit. When I come back at a later time, I'm frustrated to find that my game has reverted back to when I started playing the game before! This has happened to me three times in a row. I'm getting nowhere!
Anyone else have this problem and if so what can I do about it? I feel like I'm just wasting my game "coins" here getting nowhere.
