    I downloaded the new patch awhile ago...still not working.

    Starting to lose patience...considering deleting game since is now a waste of space.

    I tried to splice a replacement for the now-invisible 0cps genie and got the "wait for assignment" error. I have been merrily splicing police officers with no errors. I note that I had 21 genies. The missing one would have been the 21st. Is there an upper limit to the number of one type of clone?

    Updated statistics

    After the 1.5 update, here are the statistics for completed duplicate-free towns:
    • 107
      buildings (including the
      Ministry of Hope
      but not including the IAP Heartware Store)
    • 189
      tiles of land
    • 258
      unique clones
    • housing for
      385
      clones required
    • 5076
      CPS maximum once you have upgraded every clone to 3 CPS each (not including the temporary 2× from the Bumper Season event)
    Of course, to complete the "A Game of Clones" achievement, you will no longer have a duplicate-free town.

    Mayor PixelPeople123 and Mayor Junsao,

    I'm sorry to hear that you are still stuck outside your town. This is most unfortunate, and a problem we have been trying to address since 1.50 went live. As you might know, we've been trying to address these issues as quickly as we can, and push out patches as quickly as The Mothership will let us, while at the same time trying to avoid creation of new problems.

    The good news is that a vast majority of Mayors are able to play once again, and/or have even gotten their lost cities back. There seems to be one last group of Mayors who are now being affected by either of these 2 major bugs:

    1. City crashes on loading screen
    2. City crashes on loading friends list (via Trade / Visit)

    We are trying to get as many "reproducible" cases so we can verify that whatever final failsafes we are putting into the next patch are indeed foolproof. In this regard some of you might already have been contacted by our support and dev teams in order to obtain your save games for us to analyze.

    Saving your cities and restoring your Mayorhood is our number one priority.

    If this latest upcoming patch works as planned, you should be able to simply update and jump back into your city right where you left off. We hope to submit this patch (provided we can complete sufficient testing) by the end of the week, and are throwing in some extra content too.

    In the mean time, I would strongly recommend against deleting your app, as this will kill whatever city-backups might be stored locally on your device.

    If you are losing patience however, there may still be some convoluted methods for getting your game up and running. If you contact [email protected] with the tag <TOUCHARCADE> <USERNAME> in the subject field, we will get someone to walk you through possible restoration steps. You can also PM this account on TA if you iike.

    Like I said, saving your city, number one priority.

    Mayor Fan,

    Thank you for your efforts and offer to aid us. It is greatly appreciated. Once of our recruits will PM you for save file info on the morrow.

    So far we still don't have set of steps to reproduce this error.

    What can be established so far is as such:
    - When the "waiting for assignment" bug occurs, given that the hotel and altar are empty, it has been shown to be the case on more than one occasion that there exists a version of this job, somewhere in the city, who for some reason is occupying more than 1 workplace.
    - What triggers this: Still unknown. Does it always follow a similar job having recently been sent to the Mothership straight from the AC?
    - What "fixes" it: Can it always be "fixed" by identifying the bilocating culprit and sending him/her to the mothership, thereby restoring balance to the gene force?

    Does the Gold Heart bonus still require that the pair be in the correct order (as listed in the clone fomula)?
    Thanks

    Ivan, what is the trigger for the OCD achievement? The description says "Complete Your Collectors' Edition Set", but does this mean that every clone in town is fully upgraded, or at least one of each type? Thanks!

    Earlier today, I had no issues. Now I can play, but not online. When I try to login (any location), I get the following error: "Facebook login/permission to use this feature."
    I know I need to log in. That's what I'm trying to do!!

    Hey bullseye, do these still light up in your town? My Ministry of Hope is "inactive", with no beam of light.

    Depends on the device you use. We had to remove the effect on lower end devices as it was causing a little bit of a lag.

    Ivan - bug report.

    I started a new game on an iPad2 device. It is using 1.52 but is not yet signed in online.

    When I close the app and then return to it, the counters are at the same place they were when I closed the app (so if City Square had 2m left for working time, it would still have 2m left even if I left the app for an hour).

    This is obviously a huge problem as I can't progress when the app is closed. This doesn't happen all the time which makes it even more frustrating.

    EDIT: I am using 1.52.

    Ah, fair enough. I'm using an iPod Touch 4G (but hadn't considered that "lower end"...)

    There are certainly many other parts of the UI with significant lag. Scrolling gene lists is very sluggish, if you can someday try to improve that.

    I had something similar happen the other day. When I opened the app first thing in the morning, none of the buildings needed charging. I realized it was in the same state as when I turned it off the night before. This only happened the one time so far for me. This was in 1.52.

    Since Monday afternoon I have been locked out of utopia ):
    Whenever I open the game it crashes before it even has a chance to start syncing. If I try to open the game offline it will show me the "weak connection" message and then crash.

    Help? .-.
