A very odd Crowns bug; or, Stuck in the Matrix

So I got into a game of Crowns with a couple of people. The first game went fine, but the second spawned a bizarre series of events that are probably clearer in list form. Since I don't know what details might be relevant, I'll just include everything.

1. The timer reads 0 even when everyone has crossed the play line. I've seen this happen plenty of times, and it always turns out to have been working all along, so I didn't think much of it.

2. The new game day starts. I notice my energy and mood refill.

3. I grab the crown from the first person. My timer briefly reads -1 before starting up normally.

4. I bump into the first person again, (ostensibly) losing the crown.

5. This.

6. Teleportation does not work. Jumping back up above the play line and down again is ineffective. After one player leaves, I manage to get the other player and myself out of the game area by initiating a different race ticket.

7. The race does not start, and the other player's dot on the map is still gold. Crossing the finish line does nothing.

8. Leaving and re-entering the world lands us back in the broken Crowns scenario, and doing so a second time frees us entirely.

  • The whole "null" timer/missing crown glitch just occurred again, except this time it happened on the other player's last second -- I had intercepted it when they were at about 59 and a half. Might have caused the problem this time around. And I'm still stuck in the instance after reloading a few times.

    EDIT: Okay, I died, and ended up in a loop, with my rock saying "Why are you still here? Let's see if we can get you to where you're supposed to be", warping me to somewhere in Groddle Meadow (first Elysian Slope, then Ritzrock Rise), and me getting sent right back to hell because I was still dead. After the second warp, he stopped saying that and I squished some grapes and am now in Ritzrock. I entered Crowns from Adanac, so I don't really know what happened...but at least I'm finally out!

  • Well, when the rock gets confused, he likes to send you to one of his favorite streets, which may or may not be one where you were previously.  If anything like that happens again, a Guide or Staff member can rescue you from Game of Crowns -- just ask in Live Help!
