Hi Mintie - one question! I was still experiencing some of these issues when playing tonight & when I clicked on the regular app icon (which still doesn't open the game), it said that no updates were available. If i uninstall the game & reinstall, will i lose all of my saved games & progress?

VFK_Mintie

Howdy @DonutLuverr!

No, you're saved games are stored separately and so they won't be effected and will still be there when you re-install!

I hope this helps!

-Mintie

DonutLuverr

Thanks so much @VFK_Mintie !! I'll reinstall tomorrow!

I really appreciate you & the rest of the team working so hard to fix these bugs & keeping us updated! A big thanks to you!

Spoiler:

The spade is in the Guest House.

Look at the kitchen wall next to the hutch, you should see a small cabinet.

I've installed the update - I'm still getting the LowLevelFatalError crash, but I have noticed the game runs a lot more smoothly until I get it since the update.

VFK_Mintie

Hi @Setsuna!

Thank you so much for the information!

We reviewed the system information you shared and because Christmas at Donner Pass has higher graphic requirements than our previous mysteries it appears that might be causing the FatalError you're seeing, however, we are working on adding a compatibility mode that may fix the problem you are running into.

We hope to have the compatibility mode ready within the next couple weeks!  Until then, using the Normal settings is the best option at the moment!

Does that setting work okay for you?

Hi @VFK_Mintie !!

I'm currently stuck in my game! 

Spoiler:

When talking to Mr. Reed in the basement for the first time, #1 instead of his voice, the sound effect of a door closing plays. #2, when it's time for Jane to take the mustache cup and try exiting the basement on her own, when the dialog finishes, I'm stuck! I can't pick up the mustache cup, nor back away from Mr. Reed.

I've tried re-loading my saved games & trying again but no such luck. When I started my game tonight, it said that it was updated. But since I'm having this issue, should I uninstall & reinstall? Let me know what you recommend!

Tatiana_SilverHeart

i love the game so far .. i ran into a two glitches ... and need help on what to do or look for next .. 

 

Spoiler:

after i go to basement and look around for the first time .. and get the painting and hang it ... and yes i put the key back ... i look around .. not sure what do .. so i tried to go outside .. if i go outside the front door ... all game stops moving .. the arrow to move is gone and i stay in the doorway ... if i go out the back door and go around to the front of the house ... i freeze again where the arrow to move is lost .. sometimes i almost see too ppl in front the house when coming round the back ... and i have to exit game and start again in the house to play again

also .. i stuck on what to do at this point ... soooo what i already did is ... found spade .. dug up doll .. brought doll in kitchen .. she cleaned up .. found the girl in my bedroom .. played the game once with her .. then she disappeared ... got key .. went to basement looked at presents ... the christmas ornaments .. read the newspaper clippings ...looked at doll house .. got the paintting .. put the key back ... hung painting  in stairwell .. hmm read book on desk in office ... then went to all rooms .. must have missed something behing said about what to do next .. cause i not know ... and i not seen any ppl in the basement as the other person above said ... what do i do next?

Hi @DonutLuverr,

It does sound like you don't have the newest copy, probably the best solution would be to un-install and then download the new copy and then re-install.

Good luck and let is know if that fixes it!

-Mintie

VFK_Mintie

Hi @Tatiana_SilverHeart

It sounds like you're doing a great job investigating!

We are looking why you would get stopped at the front of the house, also, is the brush gone around the maze?

-Mintie

Tatiana_SilverHeart

hmm there is an area i cant walk around there .. like hmm black leaves on plants ... i think that the area u talking about .. also in won my games .. i gave doll to girl .. and played game .. then when i went back to area doll was dug up .. said i needed to get the spade ..which i already had ..and when i tried use it .. it said i needed to get spade .. tried to put spade back .. to get it again ..but wouldn;t let me ..

Hi @Rochelle,

Thank you for posting especially with the error you received!  Several update have been made which should fix that!  If you are still experiencing crashing after the Visit Of Santa Claus Game, you should un-install your current game and then go to your download area on Miss Clue and re-download it and install that new copy.

After the install the version on your computer should be 1.0.7!

Good luck and if you run into any issue just let is know!

Spoiler:

i found the maze ... and bees .. searching for tweezers

VFK_Mintie

Howdy @Tatiana_SilverHeart,

Thank you for posting!  If you've dug the doll up once, you shouldn't see it again, if you do that might mean you don't have the newest update to Christmas At Donner Pass which should have the issue fixed, so you would need to download it again and re-install!  Also if the maze has been cleared it should look like this:

Spoiler:

Good luck!

-Mintie

Tatiana_SilverHeart

SwiftPetiteCast

cant get out of the basement after seeing Mr Reed , too many Glitchs I had to uninstall ,,,,,

VFK_Mintie

Hi @SwiftPetiteCast.

Uninstalling is the best thing to do, there is another version which has an update to address what you are experiencing!  Ifyou download Christmas At Donner Pass and re-install, all your saved games will show up and everything should work great!  IF you encounter anything else just let us know!

Another update should be coming tomorrow so if you find anything we can include it!

Keep up the good detective work!

AquaVelvet

The game is pretty much unplayable for me. I can't open it the normal way, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. I can either hit skip or X on the update launcher (updates have installed) and the game won't open. So I tried opening it the other way as explained on one of these posts, and I crash every time after playing the game with Nancy. Please help me, I'm getting very upset :( 

VFK_Mintie

Howdy @Tatiana_SilverHeart,

You're making great progress on the mystery!  And thank you for all the detailed reports!  For helping the little girl try this:

Spoiler:

When you leave the room with the hurricane lantern go down the hall a couple steps and then look to the right for a passageway with blue wallpaper!  Take that path and just follow it along.

Don't forget to turn up your lamp when the shadows press in on you!

Good luck

-Mintie

Tatiana_SilverHeart

woot .. i had not seen that side part of the blue .. only the dead end part 

Spoiler:
