I can't answer for LDW, but I'd think they will make the upgrade compatible if at all possible, so you'd be able to continue playing games in progress. If they do make a lot of important changes to the game there is a chance that might not be possible. If that's the case I'm sure LDW will warn people, but they won't know for sure until the upgrade is released.

LOL I know that sinking feeling when you invested in hours of plopping a villager onto a task and yell at the top of your lungs:

"You idiot!!! You were just in that stream cooling off your feet!!! You don't need to do it again!" -OR- "Laundry again! What the ######## Do need to do that for? Get back to work!" ~Plop~

Then your villager dies before they become an elder!

Do we have any idea on the time frame for the patch? Just curious and asking for a friend who wants to try the game.

We can't give you an exact date, but we are working on getting it ready for release.

What exactly will the patch concist of?
Will it just change some of the glitches or will there be added game play (such as possibly more collectables,more building points etc...)
I know the one glitch that a lot of us have is the one where the kids get stuck in the bottom right hand corner.
Is that the patch your talking about?

the patch will fix a number of user reported bugs. Basically anything they can fix in the time before its released will be fixed. It really doesnt do any good to ask simply because they wont know what all it fixes until its ready to be released to the public. Might as well just wait it out and look for the changes that will most likely be posted with the patch.

funny really , I am a beta tester , not for this game though , I bought this ... but beta brain has found found so many glitchs, i am actually NOT enjoying the game play , but enjoying screen capturing glitchs, and the annoyances the game is causing lol I have a glitch gallery a lot I have posted on here in different threads and random posts but I have a very comprehensive glitch gallery here, at home on my pc
vary's from minor issues, mushrooms are a new item , to Zombie doctors , studying plant for 4 days and never gaining skills. and dont mention the coconuts!!! ... cannot wait to compare it with the patched version ...



once you have the Totems why do you need level 3 Science? I never bought it , never needed it!

you mean we paid for games that were messed up and they knew that.Thats just wrong.This game cost me 30 dollars.I wanted to by it fron LDW but when I pushed the buy button it took me to big fish.A few days after I seen on LDW where i could have gotten it from there.But it was to late.

spyro, the reality is that all games and programs have bugs in them... Take a look at Microsoft with a zillion programmers to write code, and then look at the number of programme and security patches they release weekly, even after sometimes 2-5 years beta testing

I'm curious why it cost you $30 for a $19.99 game?
