VV2 Timing problem?

VV2 Timing problem? - 02/15/07 04:40 PM

I downloaded and bought VV2 a couple of hours ago from BigFish and I seem to be having a problem where nobody is aging, they're working on buildings for hours but the percentage isn't rising, the hours left in the fire is fluctuation between 18 and 9 without anyone touching the fire, and most strangely, a mother with a baby is jumping from "nursing for 69 minutes" to "nursing for 111 minutes" and then back to 69 minutes within seconds.

Is this a glitch anyone else has? Will there be a new build released soon? It's annoying that I can't progress at all since I can only ever have 4 adults who aren't learning!

On a good note, this looks GREAT! I love the added challenges of "collectables!" I can't wait to see what the birds do and what happens when I can clear the rocks from the stream!!

Thanks,
Sandra

The only time we have seen the behavior that you describe is when there is a problem with the computer's system clock. You should keep an eye on the date and time that your system clock is displaying and make sure that it's correct.

Thanks, Lady!

I don't have a problem with my system clock, never have... You've never experienced this problem otherwise?

Try restarting your computer once, Sanderella. Please keep me informed if this wierd behavior keeps up. PM me.

As an aside, I just opened my version of VV1 again to test it, and it's still working perfectly!

No, we have not seen anything like that in testing. If your clock is correct, then something unusual is happening. As Arthur said, keep us posted on this situation.

ARe you by any chance changing from 2x to normal speed and back?

I was on my first attempt, but I deleted that game and started a new one hoping to reset it. I kept it at 2x speed from the first moment. I'm still having issues.

I'm not sure what else to tell you guys. With my villagers not aging, there's little I can do in the game.

Are you playing the trial or purchased version? And, just to make sure, you have made NO adjustments in your system clock, even deliberately?

Haven't touched my clock in years. Haven't needed to!!

I bought my version through Big Fish a couple of hours ago.

I'm going to try rebooting on Aurthur's suggestion.

I am playing the purchased version - I bought it a couple of hours ago through BigFish.

I just rebooted at Aurthur's suggestion, I'll keep you all posted.

My copy is working perfectly, and I did move from normal to 2x speed, as I've got a nursing mama I want to get working again ASAP.

I bought mine at Big Fish, too, at a few mins. after 8 a.m. Pacific time. I did not download the demo first.

Mine is also working fine and I've changed the game speed as well with no issues. I feel for you though! That must be really frustrating!

I've played trial, mine is allso from BFG, and I've changed speed from normal to 2x, several times, but everything works good..

We'll get to the bottom of it, Sanderella, don't worry. \:\)

I did have this happen to me as well, and posted about this, I think it was in B2.

I had three games going and only one was affected. I hadn't touched my clock and as the other villages were fine, I ended up deleting this village and the new one worked alright.

Best of Irish,
