Twice now I've quit/paused the game on the stop time option. Both times when I restarted, all or most of my plants were dead or dying. Is this a _bug_ or what?

if you stop time from the menu, you may need to go back into your game to really stop the time!

an easier way is to jsut hit the space bar!

not a problem

i think someone had to tell me that about Fish Tycoon a long time ago too

If you stop time, you have to exit the game completely. You can't just stop the time and minimize the game, exit it also. I learned this after many games of dead of plants.

you can leave it minimized, you just need to make sure you go back and look at the greenhouse again before you do it

same with exiting the game

What would I be looking in the greenhouse for? I checked to make sure it said time paused, but when I came back hours later the plants were dead. I am looking for something else? Lol got to love these games, I bet I started like 10 times because of this problem.

no, you aren't looking for anything

just checking that time is really paused

i leave a game open, on pause at home every day when i leave for owrk, and not a single plant has died yet! are you sure you aren't accidentally hitting the space bar or otherwise turning the pause off?

I am sure, I don't remember having this problem in either VV games or FT. That is strange, cause if I just stop time and minimize they all are dead the next morning. Problem got fixed though by just stopping time and then exiting the game. At least when I remember to do that, LOL.

This answer in our Support FAQ has a good explanation of how to pause the game (and how not to).
