Hello ErikB. Thank you so much for the additional information. The good news is that bug you've described was fixed in a previous update. YAY! The current version available on our website is 1.00.01. LDW.

Since you have version 1.00 with an LDW after it, it does sound like your game was purchased from us. If that's the case, all you have to do to update your game is to download and install our free trial version over your existing version. If your game was purchased elsewhere, you would need to contact that site in order to obtain the update, since installing our free trial version over it would make your game the free trial version.

For your convenience, here is the link to our current Windows version of Virtual Villagers 5: New Believers. Be sure to click the blue "Try It" button to download the free trial version.
