If you see a movie-mission with the following description...

 

Please let me know if it forces a reset (aka RELOAD PAGE) for you.

 

This one was a SKILL MISSION - FINESSE (happened to be 9 HARD), but yours may vary...

 

The language read:

 

"When working in front of a camera, things can get a little dry at times.  You use special lubricants on set to fix that problem, but your supplier screwed up and now you're all out of lube.  Improvise!"
 
 
... it will not only fail to run, but it will crash and force a game reset.  RELOAD PAGE.  Bummer.   (smug)
 
-TB (flower)
 
 
PS: Tried it out 3x, and it failed 3x, so I reported it to Support Desk via OPEN TICKET.
 
.
 
If you see any others, please add them below.  Thanks!  (grin)

I'm pretty sure that's intentional developer's sarcasm...

The game grinding to a screeching halt just when you're out of lube? :huh:

Now that my char has been deleted...

I finally am just as relevant to UK2 as Maalena always has been.

Had this a few minutes ago. I was on 2 stars on different servers. It crashed both windows...multiple times. Only one star had that mission. After about the 5th try, it finally worked without crashing. after crash both windows got 503 error trying to reload and both were laggy with the little star blinking down in the lower left for about 10 minutes after.


Just a casual now

The fact that both windows got taken down would probably be expected behavior.  It's the same extension, Flash, running in both windows, and crashing one is going to take down the other.

 

The crash itself is of course the problem, though.

If Analis is right, that's it's a joke by the devs, then it would be prudent to watch out for it and take one of the other choices. I usually just zip through doing all skill missions except at the very end if one of the others will complete it quicker.. Just watch for that word improvise

I think Analis is joking.  But yes, prudent to try to avoid that mission.

 

Yes, the optimal way to do a movie is always the skill missions, if you are trying to finish the movie with minimum film energy.

 

But...

 

I always try to get the next to last mission as close to the final total as i can get without going over, and then i take the task that has the most points over.  Tends to give you a bit more experience or skills at the end of the movie.

 

That trick gets you extra film points on the moviemaking temple, too.
