Second, the bug you're talking about was around before Generations came out. I haven't heard whether or not it's been fixed but you may be able to find a solution by looking up crincrit's threads on the official forums as an alternate.
Well, it's strange it never got me before, and that these forums too were filled with posts regarding that bug only after the 1.24 patch. I also have never witnessed this bug again after I uninstalled the 1.24 patch. But of course I might be mistaken.
Thanks for your tip, I'll try & search those threads!
Also Anushka, thank you, I didn't see any fix mentioned by Hosfac. I just might keep on waiting.
Sorry for not being that specific, I assumed the 1.24 bug was "well-known" as opposed to the earlier, as there was quite a lot of talk about it back then. Then again, not everyone suffered from it and I was searching trough every single thread about it then so I might just have noticed it better. I have fixed the link now.
