Re: Bug on new weekly game Hocus Crocus

Yes I am using Witch Hazel.

I found a way to play the game without it faulting

i simply remove the 2 Hocos Crocos plants and then the game plays without a hitch.


 I await your reply.

thanks

    I have an android device and am also using witch hazel and the only problem i have with hocus crocus is that I've decided it's pretty much useless in arena but i can't remove it in the setting up phase so i have to wait until the tournament starts before digging them up.

    Yes you can remove them. 

    Just press the eye icon on the plant selection screen and then dig up the plants, please do remember that you will not get free suns from digging them up this way.

    This tip worked for my android device, once I remove the Hocus Crocus,  the game no longer crashes

    Am I right in thinking then if i use both Hocus Crocus AND witch hazel the game will continue to crash? 
    or is it fine using them

    together if I delete the two hocus crocus initially?

    Could you give us your load out (or the plants you are using) please?

  • Remove the 2 Hocos Crocos plants as soon as the game starts. This will insure you have no cliches. Don’t use the Hocus Crocus plants at all with or without Witch Hazel. The Techs will need to ironing out this bug. Thank goodness the plant is pretty useless.

    Hope this helps.

  • Remove the Hocus Crocus plants as soon as the game starts. Dig them out and don’t use them at all.

     I did not remove the hocus crocus and used dynamite vine instead of witch hazel. Still crashes. I like the new plant but if I have to remove it why even have it as the plant.

  • Looks like the they have solved the problem by no allowing us to use the Witch Hazel plant.

    I tried it and used the new Hocus Crocus along with the Caulipower and no problems.

    the only issue is we cannot use the Witch Hazel plant which is part of the same magic family.

    Also if you can use Witch Hazel along with Caulipower you get much more points.

    Maybe they should just fix the problem properly and not simply by using a band aid by removing a plant of the same family.

    See what happens.

    The bug is in hocus crocus itself- it has nothing to do with witch hazel yet the developers just removed the ability to use WH. If you used any other plant with HC, it crashed no matter if you used WH or not. Now that WH is removed HC continues to crash the arena. You STILL have to dig it up but now without the ability to use WH. It’s pretty ridiculous.

    @eieio_31310 Mine only crashes if I don’t dig up HC- no matter what plants I use. Are they aware that the bug is in the new plant and not in its relationship with witch hazel?
  •  I have started a case with EA to sort this out I cannot guarantee anything but hopefully with enough complaints they will fix this with a new patch.

    hang in there

    PS mine is now working with Hocus Crocus but I got an update and access to Witch Hazel was removed. This is still a band aid solution as Witch Hazel is part of the same family as Hocus Crocos and with denied access to Witch Hazel does not make sense.

    just fix it properly !
