Depot Glitch

I've noticed that sometimes the characters I have working in the various Depots will suddenly stop working and get their tasks reset. (Meaning they're idle, waiting for a task).

I notice this happening sometimes when I edit my Springfield, but also it happened when I logged out to download the Homerpalooza update.

This really isn't too annoying; since the characters weren't even 5 minutes into their recycling tasks, but has this happened to anyone else?

  • Possible that it might not have synchronised before you downloaded the update and reverted to the last synchronisation that it saw which was probably just before you tasked them....bet you still lost the trash though...

    Yep; but it was only 200 pts. of Trash. I can easily get that Trash back after these tasks are done. I just don't want to constantly be on edge, fearing a possible task reset.
  • It's happened to me on occasion, I've set tasks, then decided to play about with some designing, got the Bart screen and then gone back in, or just clicked a back or home button instead of exiting and end up with people who are free when I was sure I'd tasked them, so now I sometimes just click the friend button then come back to force a synchronising before I do any editing or leave....

    As for things like trash, money and doughnuts, my assumption is the 'counters' information is held locally on the device and then just update the server next time around whilst it's the server that remembers all the other stuff and just reverts that and accepts the local data on the 'counters'
  • Curious to know how common this is. I've never experienced it to my knowledge. Hope it's not an ongoing problem.
