Oh, whoops, sorry. I can't remember anymore if I bought anything that day but the game has frozen for me both ways. I have had it freeze on festival days before I got the chance to talk to anyone. (In the mountain, it's never frozen in a cutscene for me)

Also, the game has still never frozen going from 3 to 2 on either side, just 1 to 2 or 2 to 3. Lastly, I have NEVER spent the night in konohana (I haven't even started farming there) and it still freezes on both sides.

Excuse me, do you read any of the posts on this thread? Because if you did, you would know that plenty of people have had the freeze with the Konohana outfit on, including myself.
When you ask a question, please pay attention to the answer.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound so rude...

Sadly I wish this were true but it may help people. But I have gotten freezes when it's my first time playing before a save. And I don't play any days in a row. :/

You know, programming some games I've had freezes happen before if certain value was not met. I wonder what value we all have in common.

Like what item we are or aren't carrying. Or how many times we visited our farm or the village. When I was programming my rpg the problem I had was the person was not carrying the indicated value of the item. Pretty much because they weren't carrying the item it froze. But it could happen if you are carrying another value not met like 3 or something. Just noting that I'm not sure everyone is going to log that all for me. I can't log mine because I sent mine to Natsume to cause the glitch to happen since I was able to make it happen multiple times in a row. But it would be interesting if it was as simple as that.

I haven't had a freeze in almost a season, but the lag is terrible! It seems to just get worse sometimes... Does the DS version lag and/or freeze on the 3DS?

I wish Natsume would make some sort of statement besides "we're working on it".

Seeing the number of game freeze cases, I'm feeling awfully wary about getting the 3ds version (yea, I haven't gotten it yet) .. But anyway, I have some questions:

1) Did the supposed new firmware update solve the freezing and lagging problems?

2) Or should I play it safe and buy the DS version? (as much as I really wanna expand my 3ds game collection and play the animal petting mini game, I'd rather not want a glitchy game )

^I'd say the only reason to get the 3DS version was if you missed the pre-order bonus on the DS. But I believe Natsume is selling the alpaca with both versions on their site now, so that reason's invalid. I would play it safe and go with the DS version. There'll be plenty of 3DS games in times to come to expand your collection.

The DS version does not lag or freeze (I've played for a while) on the 3DS or DS. It also does not take that long to load the mountain screens.

And about the "we're working on it," I seriously understand but that's all there is to go on. They are working their hardest to right what happened here but let me give you the low down.

1) Game Testers & Game Reviewers, play the game on essentially "« Harvest Goddess » Mode." If they played like you and I it would take forever to test and/or review the game. So they "skip" all that. So when the problem arose it was because the fans found it. So the testers "skipped" the glitch by being « Harvest Goddess ». ;.;
2) I was able to reproduce the glitch (as said before) and in turn sent it to Natsume who is sending on to the high ups. So "we're working on it" is all they got. I'd blame the mailing company. -.-
3) I think they are doing their best. I mean look how many games they already provided to us. I understand it's like the coolest game ever. I know, I know. But I assure you that your money is not wasted, and that once they figure it out they'll make sure their devoted fans get their money's worth. So don't worry about time, they are human too you know. Just be happy that they care enough about their fans to be working full time on this. They love you too! :D

Well that's a pity but I suppose if the DS version is free from most of these problems then it'll be better if I get it thanks!
But of course, I really hope they get the 3DS version fixed asap >< for those of you who have the freezing issues. Then maybe I'll get both if it does get resolved :D

It looks like freezing happens in only the 3DS version. [So glad I waited for it AND paid more...] Mine has frozen around 5 times now and I'm only in Spring 14 of the first year!

Everyone I know who is experiencing this problem has it happen at a transition screen from one part of the mountain to another. I can't really say avoid the mountain since it's the most important area in the game too...

All we can wish for is a patch and apology from Natsume, but I don't know how much they care based off of their previous activity.

Mine hasn't frozen in a while, it likes to take its sweet time to load the next mountain scene, but it does eventually load.
I think someone else had said their game froze when they talked to Mikhail, that happened to me once; I was on the mountaintop, so was Mikhail, I turned to talk to him, and at the microsecond I pressed A the game froze.

My sister tried out the game in file 2 and said hers just kept freezing out the wazoo. I don't know if it's worse in the second file or something, maybe. Maybe someone else can share their experiences or whatnot.

Yes, it does this to mine too. It definitely is not your 3DS. It is just the game, since we got it at an earlier date and they didn't have enough time to fix the bugs in it. But to speak my mind, they kept on delaying the date, from October 1st, to actually Nov. 1st, they had more than enough time. It gets on my nerves when it freezes. What I'm doing though, is next year in January, I'll take it to a best buy and exchange it or somehow try to fix this bug.

Good Luck!

The Oracle!

I guess I am lucky to report that my game froze for the first time just now, on Summer 3rd.

- Live on Konohana since day 1.
- Female
- Konohana outfit
- 2 cows, 1 sheep, 1 chicken, 1 cat (all outside)
- 36 corn crops
- Sunny all day
- Did not close 3DS cover at any time, but had played for over 4 hours with powerplug in. 3D half-way, brightness half-way. 3DS was slightly hot I guess.

Actions that day:
- Woke up, threw my cat, watered my 36 corns which are in 2 seperate trenches (and thus always lags but not a hindrance). Got all my animals out, took my egg, threw my chicken. Only did the petting game on the sheep, did nothing else with the animals because I was planning to reload if I failed the bug-catching festival.
Took my horse and rode to the request board. Took 1 request. Rode to the mountains. Took a few fish with my hands, a few foraging items. Rode through the rest of the mountain really fast without stopping, until last mountain screen (Bluebell handfishing area) where I handfished and foraged. Rode all the way to the request board, took 1 request, spoke to a few people, bought nothing, shipped a few items, rode all the way back through all the mountain stopping for catching a few critters. Rode all the way to Konohana Town Hall, spoke to Ina who asked me if I wanted to participate to the bug-catching festival, I said yes, and then as it was warping me to the competition (to the mountains) it froze. It was like, 12:10pm game-time.

I wasn't even on my horse at the moment of game-freeze... And was really puzzled as to how I could hard-reset a 3DS o.O But I managed XD;

I played until Spring 28th before I had my first freeze. I haven't played since but I hope it doesn't become a common occurrence now XD.

InfinityImpossible wrote:Mine hasn't frozen yet, but I'm only on day 4. Are you guys playing with the 3D on or off when it freezes? And how long were your systems on for when the game froze?

I hope this isn't a big issue, I had to stop playing HMDS because it would freeze whenever I tried to enter my farm after like, 2 seasons of game time. >.< I really want to play through this game. T.T

Oddly enough, I ended up having my version of HMDS go through the washer AND dryer, on accident. Then it started to freeze occasionally, and only during winter, and some rain days. It sucks that some people are having freezing problems with the 3DS versions of ToTT. I have it for DS and it hasn't freezed once.
