I would really love to play this game, but it’s not putting its best foot forward on the technical front. Every time I close the game and reopen it, it makes me redownload the same 199 MB patch that I’ve already downloaded before. As someone studying abroad without a consistent connection to the internet, this is a big ask, and moreover it would still be incredibly annoying even if I had a stable internet connection.
Has anyone else had to deal with this issue and found a way to solve it? I deleted the game off my phone in frustration earlier today, but I would gladly come back if I could move past this one specific issue.
I have seen it reported a bit in the Reddit, but I haven’t had the issue when closing the app down, sorry.
It seems to be running better today as well. Nowhere near the amount of communication errors I was getting from the first 2-3 days, so hopefully this is a sign they are ironing stuff out.
Overall I am enjoying this. Just reading what the animals are saying is pretty neat.
Sorry to hear that, @coltrane. I haven’t encountered that issue myself but I will dig around and see if anyone else has come across it and if they were able to find a solution.
One of these days I’ll manage to visit the quarry. I usually don’t add someone as a friend unless I actually know them, but in this game you seem to benefit from having a bunch of randos on your friends list.
Saw my 3 year old nephew this thanksgiving and played some pocket camp with him. He liked designing my character and painting the camper, but mostly was all about the fishing.
This is my first Animal Crossing game, but I’ve been enjoying it. It’s more relaxing than anything else I can play on my phone. But I need friends to get that kudos train rolling!
Up to level 15 now. Really enjoying just logging on for five minutes and collecting some stuff, now the connection issues seem to have slowed down. Only real issue I am having is only being able to collect a certain number of items. Crafting materials etc seem fine as you get a boost for their quantities at level 10 and 15, but the fruit/insects etc I seem to always be full on the wrong stuff, so when I go hunting for a specific item I have to put something up in the Market Boxes to make room.
I get the timer countdown for crafting etc, but limiting what you can collect this much, when there is a cooldown on when fruit etc can be picked anyway, seems a bit odd.
I’ve kind of remedied the bug and fish problems by buying that stuff from friends’ market boxes. Usually they list them for not a whole lot, and I tend to make that back when I trade in the items. That why my market boxes are filled with the more basic stuff that can be a pain to find when you need it!
