Trouble with crashing

GameHouse Forums > coconut-queen-forum

I loved this game, until it started to crash on me. I got up to the final level of the volcano, and now it either crashes or freezes every single time and I can't move on.

It's a fun game, but be aware of the problem. If anyone has come up with a solution, please post it.

Had the same problem. I got through by not doing anything until the first big eruption and during any following ones - no clicking, salvaging, except train new hunks. You should still have plenty of time if you train up to 14 or more hunks.

Hope it works for you.

Good suggestion, reddwarf. It kinda works for me, it got me past the first eruption, but I can't tell when the next ones are coming, so even if I'm very careful they still catch me and crash.

I have the same problem. It seems to happen when I move my cursor up to the upper edges of the game table. Happens almost evey time when I try to clear jungle at the upper corners or try to plant jungle at the upper corners. Also happens at other times fror no reason that I can figure out. I love the game, but this makes it annoying to play.

I figured it out!

I followed reddwarf's suggestion somewhat (I have a Mac OSX system). The problem is there are too many buildings/structures, and that causes the crash. So, I had the hunks demolish the closest buildings first (in-between eruptions). When the eruptions would stop, I'd train more hunks while at the same time sending the others to salvage. I kept doing this between eruptions until I had 20 hunks.

The less structures there are, the more activity the game can take. I also noticed the game would crash if the hunks were running back to their hq when the eruption started, so I went slow and easy at first. Timing is everything.

By the time I had 50- structures to salvage, I was able to complete the level without stopping, even during eruptions. Hope this helps!

It worked! I followed the advice here and found that if you begin the salvage closest to the temple and work your way out, salvaging the largest buildings first in a given area so that the hunks have time to get back to the temple between eruptions (about 3 large buildings per calm) eventually you can work right through the eruptions and beat the level.
