I know it was posted somewhere that the programmers are aware of and working on the problem with the fire never actually going out, but my question is this: Will my villagers ever "know" it's out? For instance, I let it run out of time to hopefully make my doctor a master when everyone got sick from the cold. Now it's been out for an hour, in real time, I have my game set to 2x, and no one has gotten sick. I know it's a terrible thing to hope fo, but will they? Or should I just keep marching her around to all the plants?

i just put my doctors around the plants, but sometimes i make them research.

If I were you I'd keep marching her round the plants, friday night I went in the front room to get a cup of coffee (when I had 1hr left on the fire) and fell asleep on the sofa for 6hours leaving it on double time!!! and the only persons health that suffered was mine when I woke up and realised what I'd done

That glitch only occurs when the game is actually running when the fire timer expires. If you want the fire to act like it's out, just quit the game and launch it again. I don't believe the glitch affects villager behavior, but it's easy to make the fire go away.

Thanks everyone. Lady, I did quit the game, once before I posted, and again just now. I still have fire...but I will march her to the plants, like everyone suggests. Thanks you guys, you're all so quick with helpful answers!

Just out of curiosity, what version of the game are you playing? You can find that on the menu screen.

It's 1.00

I bought it from Bigfish, and I uninstalled and reinstalled once already...

That's odd. That version should behave as I described. At any rate, all of the fire bugs should be fixed in the upcoming patch.

Okay...thanks for all your help...
