View Full Version : Game freeze ali baba the young woodcutter
Every time I move my generals from position 4 to position 5 after beating camp 15 my browser freezes, it does it every time without fail, am I the only one?
I'm using firefox and the latest flash player, it also does the same using chrome
I play woodcutter a lot and haven't seen that. I can't imagine what would cause it.

The freezes and lags happened a lot in random ways, yes sometimes when i move my generals I get freezes, but not on specific camps or way, it is just random.

Does this happen even after today's update; can you reliably reproduce it?
plz, no more hotfixes on the next day.

I'm unsure which camp you consider 15. But for me, clering penultiamte sector and starting to move generals to last sector, simultanously sending attacks to clear out the 2 cmaps you kill before block for boss game freezes. And nto as in lag freezes. I tried posting a ticket to supprot but they were spectacularly unhelpful as usual. Yea great, sure I can restart game by closing it down but I do'nt want it to have every. single. time.
The main problem is I can't reliably reproduce it. Once had it every day in a row thne was fine for a week tops, now getting it again.
Judging by wiki guides camp numbers, you're both talking about the same place in YWC (camp 15 is the further leader of the 2-leader sector, right before the Bandit Lord's sector)
I guess the problem is in the code of garrisons, those freezes (sometimes short, sometimes permanent) happen in other adv. too, and are, at least for me, also common on the home island, EVERYTIME 10-15 generals land (returning from adv.) the game freezes for a few seconds.
Have had this happen to me 3 times in a row now - kill camp 15 (90 Sword Clasher, 80 Horseman, Treacherous Thief) - relocate MG to next zone, attempt to relocate Vargus and game freezes requiring game restart

This has happened to me too when I've had excess generals in the valley (red zone in image below), but never when I've had them in the green zone. Maybe something worth trying?

Same, only seems to freeze if I move the MG first

Indeed and it's a quite old issue where the insane Flash CPU usage suddenly are not enough..
- memory is not the issue here though the longer you've been playing that session the bigger browser swapfile and more data to process.
This may also happen when building and/or removing a lot of constructions, so it seems to be some problems with scripts connected to construction time and perhaps not triggering because of "smart" mouse pointer and/or frame (window) functions are preventing them by keeping (object) focus?

This has been happening to for a couple of months now. I would send a general to attack the last leader camp in the sectre before the last, sectre 4 for me, after he killed the camp and I had the "Quest Completed" popup, and then the "Next" popup which then closes, I would move one general to the final sectre and straight after that the screen will freeze. The only way out is the CTR-ALT-DEL.
However, I found the other day that after sending the last attack to Sectre 4 If I went back to the main island and then return to the adventure I could move the other generals and continue the game. This works 99% of the time in Firefox, Opera and Maxthon Browsers.

I have the same exact problem, moving to the last area crashes the game, I've done 3 Ali baba the young woodcutter and it happens all 3 times in the exact same spot doing the exact same action (moving the first camp after killing the Treacherous Thief camp.
I'm using Chrome. For me thought is a more recent thing. I was fine until very recently.
I get this a lot when moving into last sector on ywc, normally I have to restart the game. Steam / win7
i am getting alot of freezes menus still work can see chat moving along but the map wont move takes a refresh to fix
I can replicate a similar freeze as soon as that sector is cleared, requires a log out and log in to continue. Can make it happen every time.
I discovered that if i zoom right out after i send both leader attacks, once they kill, i no longer get freeze.
Try zooming right out next time.
This is still an issue. It doesn't happen every time but often enough to be a pain.
Steam version of the game on win7

Thanks for the report T00t - anyone else who experienced this still having issues?
Yes. Yesterday in fact I was moaning about this in guild.
Had the new quest blinking, moved tavern gen (G1 in pic 1st page) no probs. Moving G2 hanged the game.
Win10, Steam version.
The replies I got was "it happens sometimes to em too". So it's pretty widespread but sporadic so hard to nail down.
Was suggestesd not moving while quest is blinking or not going to accept quest while moving would help. But not tried.
Interesting...
with Chrome and Win10 I have done so many Woodcutters I couldn't count them - have done 5 in the past two days.... had no problem at any point. Sounds like maybe steam? I wonder why Woodcutter specifically....

Actually it does happen sometimes in chrome, but it is random.

Today played YWC with no problem. This time did click away compelted/new quest before moving generals.
The problem is it seems hard to reproduce consequently. I know ppl not on Steam get it too. And a few times on soem other adv, but the one it happens often enough I noticed, one msieralbe week 4 times in a row is YWC. And always at that same point in adv.
Did 4/5 ywc yesterday every one of them froze after getting quest and before adventure window opened still on home island. then again on finishing the adventure. Started one just before hotfix and same again today. Win 7 browser IE 11.
The `getting into the Christmas spirit' adventure also had the graphics lock up when starting with quest window completely messed up ( and no return home button highlighted ! ) Had to refresh twice to get it to work
So tried this out today.
First did 1 YWC where I left quest completed blinking on the adv. When I moved second tavern in next last sector game hung.
Next one I tried, I completed quest and clicked away the blinking new quest sign. No problems completing adv.
Really seems there's some thing to having the quests wanting to complete that throws the game.
This also happens to me in the very same place every time in YWC
chrome on W10 crashed twice in 1 ywc adventure, both times when the a quest finished.

Hiya all, have encountered this many times also-the simple solutiom is after last attack on g4 using wiki guide (90 sword clasher-80 horseman and treacherous thief) accept last quest and WAIT until all troops return. maybe 60 seconds-THEN sdvance them to last attack position. Done over 20 now with zero crash : ))

hope that helps
I've been having problems with this recently. All 3 woody's done today/yesterday have frozen at the same point and it doesn't matter if I complete the quest before or after moving gens. I'm using chrome browser.
This is back since hotfix.
i am finding its freezing on everything lately its worse then playing a zynga/facebook game sort it its becoming unplayable at times

It's helpful knowing that others are seeing that too. I thought maybe it was something with Diwata's and my own connection/configuration/etc. Other things have become problematic: Sending explorers only to find they haven't been sent (you can't be sure until you refresh), opening the provision house to start some buffs only to have it reset/clear when you try and you have to do it again, getting no notice that collectibles have dropped, getting a notice the collectibles have dropped but no quest showing up in the quest list, etc. I'm refreshing more and more often now.

This game used to just flow never got stuck now its doing it a few times a hr forget doing blocks now cant take the risk ..takes forever sometimes to travel to a island or adventure.. or just returning home. then your stuck frustratingly trying to zoom in and out to break the freeze before you give up and hit refresh.. i know it isnt my laptop its a gaming one running 16gb ram and i know its not my connection have a 300mb plus line this game shouldnt even tax it ..can only see it getting worse as its a flash issue as zynga/facebook game have same issues and they run on flash
Opening a thread as this isn't really about Woodcutter specifically anymore...
