Zombie Farm Crash Issues: Latest Update Broke The Game?

September 30th, 2010

James Isabel

A lot of our readers play Playforge’s Zombie Farm faithfully. The latest update finally brings Game Center to the game. However, if you have a device lower than iPod Touch 2G or the iPhone 3GS, do NOT install the latest update.

Why? A lot of people are reporting crashing issues with the latest update. I have an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS, and the game works perfectly. Some people however are having problems, and I believe I know why.

I think the problem arises when non-Game Center supported iDevices tries to notify Game Center of your achievements. When I first opened the game after the latest update, Zombie Farm went nuts by notifying me of all the achievements I’ve got. If you don’t have Game Center, the game does not know what to do and thus the crash.

We’ve tried to reach the developers for a comment on this issue. For now, do NOT update the game unless you hear back from us.

What’s New?

- All Zombies now have Abilities! Collect them all by winning invasions!
- Activate your collected zombie abilities by boosting your farm’s Life Force!
- Life Force is now displayed on your farm next to the level-up bar.
- New Zombie Fight Mechanics:
- Zombies now move forwards and pile up in a more orderly fashion.
- Zombies do more damage when they’re in the front
- Enemies can only hit zombies that are in the front
- Headless zombies always head to the front of the pile
- New enemy abilities make the fight more exciting!
- All enemies now have a 3 minute timer before they go crazy!
- New Quests are now available to help you level up faster!
- New Daily bonus offers show up as quests for a chance to get free boost items!
- Know when to harvest even when the app is closed. Local notifications now alert you when its time to harvest your crops!
- Zombie Farm now supports Game Center!
- Earn achievements for doing amazing feats, can you earn them all?
- Each Game Center account has their own farm. Multiple Farms are now possible on 1 device!
- Options menu has been updated to include toggling Game Center, Daily Bonus Offers, and Local Notifications.

I keep unlocking new zombie abilities and I have over 500 life force but they never show up anywhere after I click the icon. I’d really like to use them. Any tips?

Well I have iPod touch 8gb and I’m crashed as well! The statement said 2gb or less!

…

” if you have a device lower than iPod Touch 2G”

“Well I have iPod touch 8gb”

Do you see the difference? or did you just assume it was GB?

Mines quite the same…but it crashes at the logo screen at the start. I had everything and now I can’t access it D’: but on the iPhone 3g it works perfectly….?

It’s all very well to say NOT to update – updates do not tell you that you should not update if you have equipment lower than Ipod Touch 2Gb or Iphone 3GS – all you get is an alert to update your apps, so that is what most people will do – click on update all. It’s a bit late to find this out afterwards!

I have an iphone 3GS Witherspoon the latest update 4.1. I have game center configured so achievements works, uploaded 7 when i started the game. However the game crashes after every invasion. Any time from when you tap the new ability gained to when you have recieved all loot and press to go back to the farm area.

I think they’re having problems with stability. At least you got your farm
to load. A lot of people commenting say they lost everything.

You guys should have put it in the review so that others (such as myself) would be notified instead of finding this post.

WTH, someone should be doing their homework and fix this crash, I never was told this update would make my farm disappear, they took the $ and ran. I will never play again if I don’t get my farm back. Ratings for the game shouldn’t suffer, the game was great. Every time I try to access the game (400 times since it crashed 10-5) I get angrier. I hate whining but gimme a break (I mean give me an fix-it UPDATE)…level 26?

This makes me mad because I have an 8 G and my farm just keeps crashing!
Darksnieder

Same issue as I have been having. Latest update for zombie farmer unlocked new powers and I started to aquire them. Then one day the game crashed every time I started an invasion about 45 seconds into each invasion. Then the timer resets and I can’t do anything but plant zombies and farm. I have all the updates and now I can’t do invasions at all. Will there be another update to fix this crashing issue?
Rognarroc

I nave iPhone 2G, 3.1.3. The game was crashing every time I tried to invade. I was able to succesfully invade only after turning off sound in options.

Game centre worked for me and I got in fine the first time, thereafter however on my second login I find that I have gone back to square one the game treats me as a beginner and I have lost EVERYTHING how do I get my months of work back HOW?

Skiilyne

Bfallon44

My son’s also does the same thing and he has to wait another two hours before he can invade. He is very frustrated and trying to figure out why it goes back to his home screen.

My zombies always get distracted 3 times each every invasion even when they’re hungry

Mine too… If anybody can say how to fix, it would be welcome

I also have this problem. I tried reinstalling the app, which worked for a few invasions but then reverted back to the zombies being distracted again.

Still not working. It also says my zombies aren’t hungry when I haven’t been able to invade in weeks.

I have game centre and it still crashes every time I try to invade. I’m using a iPod touch (third generation) and have updated to the lastest iOS.

I’m new to the game, and it seemed like it might be fun, but it looks like a dead from where I’m standing. A silly time waster game like this isn’t worth hunting down a fix when it doesn’t even work from the starting gate.

Hobbithead

ps – I’ve got about 40GB free space on a 64GB model.

Delete all headless zombies. I cannot stress enough, any headless, regular, kindle head, party, you name it. Just delete them. Try, and you will succeed!

Hello, I have an iPhone 4 with the latest update;
and when I downloaded the latest update for ZombieFarm, Zombiefarm is indeed linked to the GameCentre,
but I can’t reach the market anymore, so I can’t by anything,
because everytime I try to click on the market button, the game just stops totally…
So,
no more playing for me then…
Lobster Mykle

I have an I phone 4 And I lost my whole fucking game. Im giving up on zombie farm, what a joke.
Blondie_4_real_2006

i have an ipod 1g and i updated it and now it doesnt work is there any way to go back to the way it was before i updated it???

I have bought so much in Zombie Farm, but with this new update that is suppose to be interactive it has lost most of my info. My awesome zombies that took forever to combine & I bought like 6 combining pots to make it faster, are all gone. My cupid zombie is gone. My pet brain is gone. I bought another one yesterday to my husband great displeaser (huge arguement). It also took me down a couple of levels and half my money is gone. There is only 3 to sometimes 4 games that I play but this one is my favorite. This problem needs to be fixed or my money needs to be refunded, That is on 4/6 $1.99 x4, then 4/17 $9.99, 4/20 $9.99, 6/17 $74.99, 6/18 $59.99 and lastly 8/3 $59.99. Again fix this problem or Apple has already told us they will take away the charges. This is pathetic to have to be even doing this.

everytime i login the farm would open and then CRASH! i thought the latest update would remove this bug but unfortunately it did not.
howard peterson

I have an Iphone 4 and it has made the game unplayable. I can only keep it on for about thirty seconds and the it goes to the new Inforge guy. Very dissappointed they released this “upgrade”. Look like it broke the game in an attempt to show their name more.
