is this right!!!???

hi in my vv game A New Home the farming patch is currently saying " Minites until new crops 43020" and in me vv2:tlc is is saying on the fire "hours remaining for fire 753".

Anyone know what is wrong?

thanks a lot keza!!

The most common cause is that you changed your computer's system clock.

i havent touched my computers clock system i don't do that kind of stuff.

Is it because i went on holiday and i left the game paused???

maybe that will explain the problem??

Leaving the game paused won't cause that kind of problem. Your computer's system clock can be changed in a lot of different ways, sometimes unintentionally. The clock can be inadvertently changed if you double-click that little Windows clock in the bottom right corner to check dates and times (a lot of people do that without realizing that it changes anything on their computer). Also, Windows has the ability to set the computer's clock using an Internet time reference, so if the clock was inaccurate the resulting time correction could affect the game.

hmmm... then what do u recomend i should do?

Hopefully your food isnt too low just wait till the clocks count down and they will reset to the proper times. if your food is low, then get them kids working. mushies will save your tribe.
as for the fire, wouldnt worry about that one, maybe try putting wood on it, might reset it to the right time, if not, just be happy you dont have to take a villager away from work.

lol... good job i have level 3 farming in vv: a new home

i was also ranked second place on vv2 in "hours played" and since this has happened am back up to 139

That's because the statistic for hours played is also affected by changes in the system clock. In effect, you haven't played as long since the clock was set back.

so what should i do now just let the game run as normal and see what happens?

That's the only thing you can do. Trying to fix it by changing the clock further will only cause more problems.

ok thanks for the help

i havent had a island event since this has happened. I have had the game on 1/2 speed for 4 days and still havent had an event. I use to have 1 every 24 hours.

I think i know why this has happened. My mum used the laptop and the date was a couple of weeks ahead than it should be. So she put it back to the right date.

Is there anything i can do about the island events

Isn't there anything i can do to start having the island events again?

get L3 patience!

just wait until the clock gets back on track

don't try messing with the clock again! it will probably just mess you up more!

that mean i gotta wait about 1000 hours!!!!

Must have good patience for that (which i haven't lol!!)

The game schedules the next Island Event when one occurs, just like you would schedule an appointment on your calendar. Since your computer's clock was two weeks ahead when the event was scheduled, the game is waiting for the scheduled date and time, and then the event will happen.

looks like a wating game for me


hopefully it won't drag!!

Why don't you start another village in another slot so that you have something to do to pass the time?

hmm i might do that i'll think about it

going to go and create some elders i only have 12 lol. 1 elder at a time i say !!!

well 2 at a time

My clock has nearly set it self back give it 2 or 3 days and i should be able to ring the gong and have island events again. I'll let you know

In fact my fire counter said 40 hourse before it messed up and now it says 72 so i got about 22 hours to wait maybe more maybe less i don't know. I should hopefully get an island event tomorrow for when i get back in from school

good luck with it

Any updates?

my timer went back up to 202 hours at this rate i never will be able to get island events and ring the gong again

i don't know what to do

Keep an eye on your computer's system clock. If it's not always displaying the actual date and time, the game will continue to be messed up. There are several causes for inaccurate system clocks, including a depleted CMOS battery in your computer.

so i got to live with this game without island events and banging the gong by the looks of it?

Maybe so, if your computer's system clock isn't accurate. CMOS batteries are inexpensive, though, if that's what is causing the problem.

My system clock hasn't changed since the first time it messed up so i don't see why it has seemed to mess up again.

Once the real-time engine in the game is affected by clock changes, it's hard to predict what will happen. If you're really attached to that game, you might want to keep a log for awhile and note the actual time and date, what time and day your computer's clock thinks it is, and some key timers in the game and see if you can detect a pattern. There's not much else that can be done (other than start a new game).

Wish i could put all my stats onto a new game

that isnt possible right??

No.

it would be possible to start a new game without erasing the one you have though

then you can check up on it and hope the timer sets itself straight, also, you could see if it was just the one game that is being messed up, or if the new ones gets messed up too

right?

Yes, and that was suggested earlier in the thread. As I said before, once the real-time engine is messed up by system clock changes, it's really impossible to predict what will happen. There are 5 slots, so there certainly should be room to start another game and let this one continue to run, to see what happens.

To be honest i don't know what to do with that game now

I might just start a new game and wait to see if my "main" game sorts it self out

That's what I would do. You never know, it might just pop out of it! I wouldn't hold my breath though.

that is why you start a new one, you can concentrate on it, and jsut check up on the one that is messed up right now

the new game will take your mind off it

(and VI, if it was suggested more than 5 minutes ago, i really don't remember!)

I'm goin to haft to start a new game in vv1 as well.

Just my luck!!!!

he was calling me a dork! not you keza!

are your vv1 timers messed up too keza?

yup when me mum changed the clock back both my vv1 and vv2 game was running so it messed up both of them

oy, sorry to hear that

im going to give my game one more chance. I'll see if it has sorted itself out for the end of the week.

good luck!

Thanks!

the timer going down still it hasn't gone up again yet. I'm hoping it will make it all the way

On 2X speed, whenever I make the fire, I click it says 10 hrs. Then I click again a second later and it says nine. Then it counts regular. Is this on purpose? I keep the fire out so people can get sick to train doctors, but I'm just wondering.

noly antoher 62 hours on the fire clock. *fingers crossed* I hope this works and i can have island events again and ring the gong *fingers crossed*

Down to 55 hours on clock i really hope it don't go up againg i'll do anything so it don't!!! Please please let me have my island events again and let me ring the gong please!!

yay! good luck!

32 HOURS I'm hoping it going to make it all the way and alow me to bang the gong and have island events again. Got me heart set on this lol

am well chuffed i finally got my island event and everything back to normal!!!!

Thanks for everyones help

WTG, glad everything is normal.

i am happy to hear that things got back to normal for your village!

yay i wasn't expecting my vv1 game to have an island event as the timer on the crops was 100,000+ Just got an island event on that im lukcy lol

population is down from 90 to 61 just over night

Heh. The downside. Your villagers have started to get older.

Ye,glad everything is normal.

824 hours into the game, GC is in yellow and bald, now suddenly he has black hair????????

This happen to anyone else?

Have you had an island event involving the GC? A couple will change the look of your villager.

Not that I know of, but that doesn't mean I didn't just over look it.

I will try and pay better attention and see if it happens again.

Thanks,

K
