Well like I said earflier, I'm in vacation away from the game code so I could not verify with the actual game code, but after hearing a lot of complaint I decided to try and find out what was causing the bug since I never experienced it myself.

So I did some testing based on comments on this forum, and I was able to reproduce the bug twice using the exact same pattern.

Basically, the problem seems to be occuring when you put the PSP in Sleep mode while playing a level. So DO NOT USE THE SLEEP function of the PSP and the progression bug should not occure. (The sleep function is activated when you hit the power button only one time)

I'm going to verify what is going on when I get back to work next week but until then this should make it possible to play the game without fearing to lose progression.

That is also what I believed (well I said "hold" as opposed to "sleep", since I believe "hold" is the official term for the feature), but it seems no one noticed my post.

Actually Carson, your post gave me an hint :)

Maybe this is not the only way to reproduce this bug, but I'm 99% certain this one of the way...

@carson

hold means that you put your switch downside so the won't respond and there is an orange light instead of a green one. That's means putting your psp on hold.

@MickD

I've never put in on sleep mode while playing a level. Only in the meny maybe.

@MickD
I had it happen twice on me (well... twice that I noticed).
1. when I was doing a great run on survival 1,000,000+ score and 1,000,000+ remnents.
2. when I was trying for two achievments at once... again in survival.

The second time it happened to me, I did put the psp into sleep mode, but the first time I didn't... so there is another problem. ;)

Did you retry right after, or another time completely. I ask because I believe it may happen more than once after you put your PSP on hold. Sorry for the use of the "sleep" mode, I also believe the correct word is "hold".

Sleep mode is correct, hold makes the buttons inoperable... and to answer your question the two times it happened were on to seperate occasions
ie the psp was turned of several times between each occurance.
I hope this info helps. ;)

Well, the last time i actually had the PSP on sleep a couple of times, but the first 5 times it happened, i played the Levels straight thru, for sure :(

haven't had the bug anymore though so it seems to work for me
still crashes when I complete a level occasionally though ... I don't play survival mode anymore because of these bugs

game's still pretty good but not as good as I initially thought and that's because of the bugs ... definately buying your next title :D

is it zombie tycoon 2??

Hey MickD, I love this game! Found another bug though but it's only happened once so far; at the end of the last ? level when you arive at the boss it freezes. There's still movement but the battle never engages. Hope this helps if you guys do a patch. p.s. I would've paid a lot more than $2 for this caliber of game!

Ah, I have that thing where I'm an idiot. :D
'Hold' made sense to me though, it seems like is would be a fitting name for the feature.

hold as a term for sleep mode? Very confusing.

@Carson
I noticed you saying the bug happened when you use the "Hold" feature but I was thinking to myself, "I never use hold".
