I think this will work out well, with us working together to compare what happens in our games. I will try a completely different approach in the next run through the game.

I have sold some of the fourth magic fish without any problems. I now have two of magic fish numbers one, two and three, and four of number four. All pregnant and split 5/5 between tanks one and two.

I also paid for level two of advertising, but put it on 1/2 time. All fish are fed and healthy, so should be fine for 10 - 12 hours. Hopefully, at that time I'll have level two in advertising and several more fish to sell.

If all goes well, do you think I should then buy level three in advertising (just sticking with raising and selling magic fish 1-4) to see what happens after that?

It would be good to know whether or not the third level of advertising is a factor in the bug. I did my research in a different order than what you did in your current game, having fully researched Advertising before completing the other two, and I didn't encounter the crash. Since you have completed all of the others, it would be a good comparison with my test.

I'll be starting two new games today with a different order of research in each game.

OK, I'll buy the third level of advertising then. As far as which fish, when it happened before, I had the first four than too. I was strictly raising and selling them cause I wanted to build up enough money to be able to sell off all of the first four, start playing with mixing the cheaper fish, and not worry about running out of money. I had $9,000+ when it started crashing.

Will let you know what happens.

Just wanted to let you know:

a). I've been playing on Easy
b). It's about halfway through level three of advertising
c). I just sold off a bunch of the first four magic fish (don't have any other types)
d). I now have $8792 (in case hitting $10,000 makes a difference)

Edited to add:

a). 3/4 way to completing level three
b). Sold more fish and now have $9540

I'm also playing on easy, since it's... well... easier to make money!

It's good that you're including these details, since we don't know what specific circumstances trigger the crash.

My device delivery was delayed a day, so I'll be starting the two new games later today.

Bad news. After level 3 was completed, I sorted which ones I wanted to sell and clicked to sell them. The sales screen opened and I got a glimpse of the crowd moving to the door...think it showed that one sold even before anyone even got through the door, but not positive cause the game closed up so fast.

I then shut off my Nook, did a soft reboot (hold the power button for 20 - 25 seconds) then turned it back on and opened the game. I had to resort which ones to sell again, but this time it didn't close on me and they all sold. Afterwards, I chose which ones to get pregnant then went into Options to put on 1/2 time and closed the game.

Oh, but I now have over $10,000 so that didn't trigger it.

I'll see what happens when I try to sell again. One thing I have realized though, I can actually play just fine as long as I don't ever buy level three of advertising.

Hmmm, this is good, but odd. Other than it crashing that first time after level three in advertising completed, it hasn't happened again. I've sold the first four again twice without problems. I also bought two batches of the mid-priced eggs and two batches of the most expensive eggs and sold all without a glitch. I even put several of my granddaughter's games and several of my books back on without any problems.

I know that when it kept crashing over and over I only had the first four magic fish, so it can't be that a particular breed was causing it, since I tested with those same four. Well, I think I'm going to start a brand new game but this time record each and every fish and all I do. Hopefully I'll never have another problem, but if I do then I'll be able to send my records to you guys.

All I can say is, I'm sorry to have caused you guys more work and I'm sorry I wasn't able to duplicate the problem and be more helpful. I still believe there is a pproblem and feel I'm forgetting something I did or didn't do before.

I'll wait to start a new game until after I hear your thoughts on my results, just in case you'd rather I tried a little longer. I really wanted the problem found. Not just for me, but for others having the problem too.

Made some quick silvers -- hadn't seen those before. Everything still working great. I'm beginning to wonder if uninstalling it and reinstalling it made the difference. I have broadband internet but use the WiFi to install onto my Nook and maybe the first installation glitched up. Maybe the WiFi dropped out for a second or so the first time I installed the game and that's what caused the problem. Then when I reinstalled, it got All the files, so it's working properly.

I'm sorry it has taken so long to reply. I had some other Android game issues to work on Friday and Saturday, and yesterday was my youngest grandson's baptism and birthday. Busy weekend!

It is possible that uninstalling and reinstalling the game "cleared" whatever condition was causing the crash that you were seeing in your original game. At this point, all we can do is speculate, though, since the problem is so elusive. I'm going to follow your "path" on the game you've described and see what happens.
