This annoys me to no end. A bunch of "parents" or sick villegers just get stuck in this traffic loop. They eventually get out of it, but this _bug_ wastes time big time. I'm more irritated by this than kids get stuck spinning and "shake off" a collectible.

I know going to another tribe fixes it instantly (for a while). But often I have a stew going or something that doesn't make me want to leave. I'm having to drag villegers out of the loop one by one, only to see them stuck again in a few minutes.

I'd appreciate it if somebody can direct me to a patch to fix this _bug_. This is really a problem!

You don't say which particular loop you mean, but there are a few spots where villagers can get caught. I understand that LDW is working on an upgrade that will hopefully fix these problems (at least, the worst of them).

Thanks, Arnie. Namely between huts, the bottom 3 huts. Rarely, but "parents" get stuck at the research table as well. Sick villagers and doctors get stuck above the hospital.

I guess I have to wait or just be done with it. Been playing this for weeks, already tired of it and frustrated by bugs, and I feel I bought it too early as it was released too early without thorough testing.

I however must say this is a very very good game. I'm not a sim player AT ALL; I like fast and intense games. So for me to get hooked on this, VV2 just must be really a good game. Although the problems were pretty frustrating and disappointing, I did get my money's worth (every penny of it, and much more).

There's not been a program released that doesn't have some bugs. However long the beta testing, it will never throw up all bugs. Certain bugs will only appear in certain rare circumstances or conditions. In addition, the testing can only go so far. The programmers have to decide on a priority level for reported bugs, fixing the most important at once, but maybe leaving others for further investigation. It may be necessary to release one or more updates to the program to fix these less important bugs, or ones that are only discovered after beta testing. In a few cases small bugs may be left in if the author feels that the work involved in fixing them is so much that they are not worthwhile squashing.

Believe me, I understand. I've beta tested many programs, starting with good ole' very buggy Win95. Yes, some bugs are serious and major, and others are minor and can be left alone. Consumers, however, still need not "expect" bugs in stuff we pay money for :). Fortunately games aren't expensive, so we can either put up or trash.

I have also Beta tested games , and bugs are not acceptable...

I look for glitches and bugs and hopefully the public will not get them, as they will be resolved

and although this is a captivating game of uniqueness, if there was another similar game, without the glitches then this would be in trouble
as a consumer of this product I want the up date to fix numerous bugs
I will not write a list , but I will start one and you can add to it

1. genetics don't work ...two blondes have ginger baby?
2. why no black villagers? not a _bug_ but a complaint
3. two elders produced a child with NO skill, whereas two adept peeps produce a child with skill
4. trainee doctor zombified on studying strange plant... which is fine if He/she gain any skill from it
5. Coconuts! should I say more?

ok then you all can add to the list!!or maybe the Glitch list should have its own thread!!

I have beta tested games in their infancy , and they have had less bugs than this , which I purchased
I have never known such a dodgy product ever , if It was a toaster It would be illegal!!
