Hey there Holiday Humma’s!
Bouncing back again really quick to go over some things I am seeing in the comments over and over. Take a peak below and see if these issues apply to you.
First up, the Basics…again… of items you need for the Christmas Event in the games right now…
- You need to be playing on an iOS, Android, or Amazon Device via Mobile App. (There is also the direct Facebook Game App.) The Windows Stand Alone App does NOT play like the Mobile App. It is only a basic game and NO EVENTS. Districts 1-8 ONLY.
- You need to be on Version 1.15.0 in your App Market. If you are not, you will not see any of the Event at all. Kindle users, do a manual search for the Family Guy Game in the Market to locate the App and Update it. Don’t use the game to find it.
- You need to be to at LEAST District 3 game play and have Al Harrington’s unlocked in your game.
I want to post this again as this question still comes up. This game takes a LOT out of your device. I am not joking at all… A LOT. That means in order to play this game in a smooth manner…
- You will need at least 2-3GB of available space in your device for the game to have “wiggle room”
- You will need a solid internet connection (I would suggest WiFi as it is usually more stable and no Data usage)
- NO OTHER APPS RUNNING- if you have multiple apps running on your device they will fight for the connection and RAM. This is not good. It will cause the game to crash, a lot. So close and kill all apps before launching this one.
- Non crowded Quahog. Too many items in your game will cause too much RAM usage on your device and create a disaster of lagging, glitching, and crashing over and over and over. Store things away. Especially animated and moving things. Don’t overcrowd your town and the game will run a bit more smoothly.
- Try some of the additional steps suggested in the link under “Crashing and Lagging” above.
All that being said, I do know some specific iOS users are stating crashing outside the normal things with this Update. Already reported it to TinyCo and awaiting an update. Feel free to message them from your game too if you are experiencing this and the items above do not apply to you. Also make sure you are running iOS 7 or Higher.
TIMEBLIMPBOX2 GLITCH
The Consuela Error popping up “ERROR there was a problem loading this save game; some placeables are out of bounds. (Error: GAME_UNPLACED_PLACEABLES), ([timeBlimpBox2 : timeBlimpBox2])” is known to TinyCo and they are currently still working on it. No further updates yet, but will note when I see any.
It seems this hit many Players as this Event launched while they were trying to Unlock or just Unlocked Olivia.
SANTA’S MISSING
For some Players, Santa seems to be disappearing down some chimney when you hit Part 7 of the Main Questline dialog. The fix for this is basically force closing the app and restarting your device. Then when you return to the game and to North Pole… he is back wandering around.
I have already requested his image be added back to the Main FaceSpace Area for easier location of him. They are working on it already. In the Meantime, Jesus is currently the only FaceSpace Character still linked to him, so you can use Jesus’ profile to go to Santa’s then locate him if you have Jesus.
Also, you will NOT be able to use him for Humma Battles if he is on a task. Just like you can’t send a Character on two tasks at the same time. (You also can’t start a Battle without 2 Unleaded Egg Nogs at least.) Tapping on Santa’s pic in the Humma Battles with 2 Unleaded Egg Nogs available, and while he is free and walking around, will check him off and place him as a driver.
LYLE TIMER CONFUSION
There seems to be some confusion on the Timers for Lyle so I wanted to point this out really Quick. There are TWO timers in play.
A Task Timer: This is on the Baser Instinct Questline (Part 5). The only reason the timer is there is due to some Players will not want or be able to achieve that “Hard” Prize in HQ, so the Task just sitting in the Task Bar for Eternity will be annoying. TinyCo has done the same thing they have in the past, put a timer on the Task so it won’t sit around in there forever. This has NOTHING to do with time to get Lyle. It is ONLY on the Baser Instinct Part 5 Task.
Santa’s HQ Timer: This is the Timer in HQ directly linked to Lyle that YOU will trigger by getting the Fort Prize before Lyle AND then tapping on the HQ again to start the Timer. This is the ONLY way to start the timer. Tapping on or going into HQ in anyway at all (whether tap or task takes you there), once inside his timer starts AFTER getting the prize before him.
HUMMA BATTLES
The Battles WILL get harder as you Level Up the Humma. I noted this in the Main Post and wanted to place it here too. When you Level Up the Humma you will see that less damage is made, the Buildings Skin Color Changes, and less Buildings are destroyed. So if you want to take out 3 at a time, wait to Level Up until you can run at least a few raids on it first.
UPDATE 12/10:
Testing this further. They’ve corrected the Mechanics of the Battles. You should always get something regardless in a battle. Even those lost completely. If not, message them.
It’s fine to Upgrade the Humma, just watch out for the actual BUILDINGS to Update too (color will change). Trying to see a pattern when they do change, but it looks like once they Update and change color they’re much harder to destroy, so to combat this… level up the Humma to have a better “fighting” chance against the higher level Buildings. More Characters will help too.
So go ahead and upgrade the Humma, just know you may hit a patch of difficulty when the building changes again.
CHILD PLAYER CONFIG ???
I have seen comments on this “Issue” but to date no one has supplied either myself or TinyCo with a Screenshot or report of this issue from their games, so I am not sure how much help can be given. If YOU have this error while using the Present Exchange, send in a report to TinyCo and get a Screenshot of the Error message to me ASAP with your Player ID info. Email it to familyguyaddicts@gmail.com
Can’t fix something that no one reports. 😉
There you have it, some additional “help” as we progress through the Event. I will keep an eye out for any others I see.

Family Guy Addicts 
Hey guys! So an update appeared on my iOS for this game Agee hours ago and after installing it my game doesn’t work!
I load the game but just before the loading bar at the bottom reaches the end the game crashes. I have restarted my phone, force quit the app. Reinstalled but it still doesn’t work.
When I reinstalled the app the game runs. I can view the tutorial and then log back into my account which causes the app to reload only to then crash in the same spot.
Any ideas?
I am just barely keeping up with this event and now I fear I am going to fall behind.
LikeLike
Have you tried making MORE room on your device for the app. With this update, the app just keeps getting bigger and bigger. See if you can free up at least 1GB of space on your device and if that will help.

I do have quite a bit of free space on this device, 22gb so that isn’t an issue. I am running off a iPhone 4s though. It has had some crashing problems in the past but nothing like this.
The crashing problems in the past was to do with too many Things on the screen.

With all the fretting about not being able to earn hats when leveling up, I was afraid to do anything and my Humma is still level 2. Any chance you could let us know what exactly happens when I go to level 3? Does it cost more? Do I destroy less buildings? How does the payout change? Less buildings with bigger payout might still be worth leveling up, but so far I don’t think I found any info on this, only vague bits and pieces in the comments. Thanks!
LikeLike
It just takes MORE to defeat the Buildings. Like More Characters. So if you have Santa AND Camo Peter, then you can battle better when it upgrades and gets harder. If you only have Santa and keep upgrading, you will find more difficult battles and may find slower payouts as just Santa alone won’t hit many buildings. 1 if lucky.

Disregard. Upgrade Humma

Why is that? You mention above that buildings automatically upgrade but mine didn’t, I’ve been on level two for the whole week (I have 40 lights now ready to upgrade) but the buildings pay out hasn’t ever changed so I don’t know what you mean?

Still seeing if set points. So far it may be questline, but hard to say of that’s a factor as well as battles

Ok so Bunny I’ve now followed your advice, I was three hats away from the naughty or nice centre (have gotten there all through repeated level 2 attacks) so before starting the next four hour attack (which brings me into week two territory and who knows what will happen then) I’ve upgraded the Hummer with all my available fourth or so lights.
I’m now at Hummer level 10 or something I think, but the payouts were still only showing as nine hats two medals and two lights.
I guess I will find out what happens once this attack is over but it doesn’t matter as I will at least get the naughty or nice centre to guarantee me camo Peter, and if I don’t get anywhere else I’ll still be a happy bunny 🙂
I will let you know how things pan out! Hope you were right though…!! 😀

Okay so here my story, I upgraded from Hummer level 2 to level 7 in one go and sent it on an attack. After about 20min all three buildings were destroyed and I earned 9 hats. Then the questioned triggered a building upgrade but I was able to start the next attack for 12 hats, this again only took an hour or two. Then the quest line again caused the buildings to upgrade. Now they show a reward of 15 hats but I’m currently waiting for eggnog so I don’t know what comes next. And all of this is only with Santa as driver. So I would definitely suggest upgrading the Hummer, it seems to shorten the four hour attack runs and yiel much more hats (but less lights) than at lower level. And I think the building upgrade is purely quest line driven, it was triggered by Hover boy quests, nothing else.

Thanks for the advice against levelling up the humma, I am on level 4 and have held off going further. By the end of today I should be able to unlock camo peter and start earning pressure towards the last two gifts on page one. So once peter is available for humma raids will it be worth levelling up or will returns still be best at level 4?? then again, with an update due I presume that will change the exchange dynamics the same as with Halloween anyway?
LikeLike
I’m a little confused about what you mean about upgrading the humma. I’m currently at level 4, and am receiving 9 hats per battle with santa. Will upgrading to level 5 halt my progress or decrease my rewards? Some people are saying that they are stuck after they upgrade???

I just thought it was

Level4:2 buildings
Level5: 3buildings
I’m on level 5 but thats how many ticks I get after 4 hours. (The other 1/2 have crosses depending on the level). Also the total payout always seems to match the one it says I’ll get. If theres more than 1 building I seem to be able to pick up from the others after about 2 hours.
The first payout after upgrade does seem to be lower but by the 2nd level its already higher.

Was there still time left on the Battle? The Check mark there can be deceiving as if he is battling more than one building, it checks them off as he demolishes it and moves on to the next.

Somebody on reddit said that despite the 0/3 buildings destroyable according to the info box, actually a building can be destroyed and rewards are issued. I don’t think they would give us rewards just for trying – in the past an unsuccessful attack did not earn any consolation prizes… So maybe the problem is just an incorrect display in that info box. It might seem as though you are just getting lesser rewards “for trying”, but more likely you’re just not destroying more than one building for level 5 Humma. My bet is that going to level 6 Humma will increase the chance of successful attacks. The increased strength of the buildings after the village is rebuilt is probably a separate thing, but leveling up the Humma will increase the power of the attack to compensate.
LikeLike
I said so too. Per TinyCo, and verfied in my game… even when it said 0/3 you should still get something. I believe a patch should be in all the games now showing SOME payout. If you get nothing, message them in game right away and let me know too.

I am leveled up to 5 because the quest lines asked us to do so. I am trying not to get behind like I have in previous events where I got totally stuck because I didn’t move through the quest lines quickly enough. If I am working hard to upgrade the Humma it seems a little odd to be penalized for that. I know you wrote about it and I trust what you tell us, but I guess I didn’t completely understand what you were saying.
So basically until we are told different, don’t upgrade the Humma no matter how many lights we have earned? That seems a little counterintuitive to what we think we should be doing.

Yes and your help is always appreciated. But now I can’t get more items to get those more characters. If the quest lines wouldn’t be asking you to level up, it might make a little more sense. Since this is going to happen to many of us, is there any discussion with TinyCo to revamp the plan? Getting Peter’s skin before new content hits was going to be enough of a chore. But without any payouts it will be beyond impossible. I am not interested in punting on the event five days in, but I also am not interested in being a week behind and playing catch up like the last three events have played out. I see others in the same boat are not getting anything for their battles. The egg nogs are hard enough to come by to waste them on empty battles. TinyCo has to realize the loop with no escape that we have been put in.

Bunny, thanks for your patience with this. One question/concern: I have been leveling up per the quest lines and I got a battle with no payout. I stopped writing in using the in-game support because I have not gotten a response since before the Star Trek event, including writing in to say “Please respond to me so that I know you are getting these messages”. I am not one of those people who write in every time an item doesn’t drop, but I have had a handful of issues that I have brought here and were unique to my game and heeded your advice to write in and never got a single response, even just to say we got your message but go pound salt we can’t fix you. Is it possible that the in-game messaging has stopped working for some? I mean I can’t even get an automatic generated response from them.

It is indeed a little odd. Basically we have to chose between finishing the questlines and have those cleared when the second week hits, or get Peter before the start of second week. I don’t think we will know before the content for second week appears if we made the right choice.
LikeLike
Me, too. The Humma is at level 5 and just got the cleared village message after 3 buildings were successfully destroyed. Then when Santa is selected as the driver, it says the Humma can destroy 0/3 buildings and no rewards are listed. I went ahead to try an attack, and the progress bar on the building started out as already full. Meanwhile, the timer says it will take 4 hours for the apparently pointless attack. Something isn’t right here. We’re missing something. The faq doesn’t say anything about this particular situation.
Also got a quest message to level up the Humma to level 6 while this non-attack attack is going on… I wonder if leveling up will fix the 0/3 thing? The faq says that the chance of successfully destroying the buildings is improved as you level up the Humma, which was definitely true when I reached level 5. It will be a long time before Peter is available to drive, since the beer cans are so rare (even the greenhouse hasn’t been dropping them, I only have three from Bonnie twerking her little heart out since the beginning since I need eggnog from the other option) and the only way to get the grenades is to place the surveillance building. I only have 25 presents in stock and zero-reward attacks aren’t going to get me anywhere… I also have no idea how many lights I have until the pointless attack is finished. If not enough to level up and I can’t earn more- can’t proceed. Likewise Lyle won’t be available for a long time (never if we can’t earn materials).

I just checked on the battle I started a few hours ago (level 5 Humma, Santa, after having destroyed the village so buildings regenerated stronger, display had indicated no rewards and that it could take out 0/3 buildings). One building was destroyed (check mark above it) and released a normal number of rewards. The Humma was placed to try to take out another building, but failed (X Mark above the Humma), didn’t release any rewards. Now the info display for the next battle is acting normally – says the Humma with Santa can take out 1/3 buildings, rewards of 9 hats, 3 medals, 1 lights. So it does look as though the display has been corrected and the 0/3 buildings/no rewards was just a glitch in the display. The Humma isn’t too weak to destroy the new buildings, but needs more power to do more than one at once – leveling it up should fix that, but will take a while to earn the lights…. I’m on an iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3 in case people might be seeing different behavior on different devices.

My total, collective number of silver bells just dropped over 100 points! I don’t know why 😦 I bought the Fort for 150 bells about 2 days ago and now my collective total is once again showing 155 bells instead of over 250 like I’ve reached since then. What gives? Anyone else notice this happen?

There was no notification of “next start point”, so I can only assume it is the Main Questline continuing. Will know soon. 🙂

I’m really confused by the humma battles. I’m on level 4 and I have enough lights to upgrade to level 5 but it sounds like I would get less? The pop up says upgrade your humma to get more prizes? It sounds like the upgrade makes the houses stronger not the humma.

That happened to me, lol. It was when a quest popped up that he should start, I tapped the hummer while it was shooting. Santa came out to start the new quest, but the hummer became sentient and just kept firing on it’s own. Put Santa on another quest to save some time. Next morning they both finished. 😀
First time ever I got to profit from a glitch, feels like cosmic justice. 😛

Shouldn’t levelling up the humma mean it should be doing more damage? Did tinyco get this backwards?
LikeLike
Nope. Think of this as any rpg or other style games. As your Character reaches higher levels, the levels and “bosses” get harder too requiring more from your character. It’s very normal for game “difficulty” to increase as you reach higher and higher levels. 😉

Then whats the point of leveling up?

Payout increases. I’m sure more Characters may come into play too

When you destroy 3 of the houses in 1 Humma mission there is a message, don’t know the exact text, basically it says “You opponent ain’t to happy about the destruction so he will reinforces the houses”. I only play on Facebook, so don’t know if you seen it on other platforms. If you miss the message it does seem like the Humma is getting weaker when you leveled up.

The Humma is NOT getting weaker. It is the same. It is the Buildings getting stronger, like the pop up said. 😉

That’s what I just said, if you miss the pop up it looks like the Humma getting weaker because you go from being able to destroy 3 houses back to 1. 😉

To make you want to save time and purchase clams. Regular RPGs don’t balance the difficulty for multiple character parties until you are given multiple characters but in a f2p environment you are given the choice to spend increased amounts of time grinding to unlock your party to restore balance or pay to do it immediately. It’s definitely counterintuitive, but only because the medium in which it is presented is littered with additional time sinks to encourage clam purchase. It sucks, but I’d rather have strangely reworked mechanics (encouraging you to upgrade to party difficulty before you get the party) then to pay to play.

Out of curiosity, how many medals do you all have so far? I’m trying to decide on purchasing one of the items that either helps with battles & earning medals or helps with gift boxes to exchange… If the leaderboard is just based on medals, that will probably help a lot of us decide what, if any, item to buy.

I am just going to forget about getting the first prize (the Super Robot Elf) though. I think unless you are someone who is willing to fork over hundreds of dollars, you will not be able to get it. Only 100 people out of 5,000 people will win it – so 4,900 will be missing out. A BIG number.
PeterPalooza was the first event I played that had a leaderboard but it only had 30 people. I was actually someone who got Bad Trip Stewie.
If the leaderboard was still out of 30 people, I would try again to come near the top of the board. This amount of people on the one though? To me, it just seems like too many. At Christmas, I would rather just spend that money on my family and friends.
I am enjoying the rest of the event so far though. 🙂

I understand.
All that matters though is to finish in the top 100. I am sure people in the top 25 or so will spend clams, but the rest will just be active players.
See how it goes first. In the mob event i barely spent any clams and got the top prize pretty easily. Besides have you seen the price of speeding up the attacks? Insane prices.
LikeLike
The Mob event? I don’t know much about that one, as I was not playing back then (as I still had not heard about this game). If the leaderboard was anything like this one though, you must have constantly been playing the game, if you did not spend many clams. I just think that 4,900 people on a leaderboard who will not get the top prize is too big of a number. If it was only against a small group of 30 people, then I think that more of us would have stood a fighting chance. I don’t know, maybe I am wrong. I have only experienced smaller leaderboards in this game after all. It is just that it looks overwhelming to me is all.

Anyone know of a way to monitor how much egg nog you have? When I stay a battle I see if I have 0, 1, or 2, but I don’t think it shows if you have more than that. Or had anyone seen it display 3/2 and I’ve never had more than 2?

I get that the battles get harder as we go, but when the Humma can’t even take out one of the buildings while being driver by Peter and Santa it essentially halts progress since there’s no reward so there’s no way to make the Humma any stronger.

At least this time you can always see how many you really have to spend. to ant item that costs bells and you’ll see your total listed before the cost.

Wait, you can fail a Humma attack?
I thought it was:
Level 0: 1 House
Level 1: 2 Houses
Level 2: 3 Houses
Level 3: 1 (upgraded) House
Level 4: 2 Houses
Level 5: 3 houses
Level 6: 1 (upgraded) House
Level 7: probabaly 2 but I’m on 6 atm…
I only have Santa on the raid (dont have Peter yet, so going to be a few days behind next week but hopefully Tinyco help us out so I dont miss the last week again haha. Anyway back to the point…) and every 4 hours without fail, I get the exact amount it said I ‘could’ get.
If I only destroy 1 house the other 2 have crosses but I’ve never seen it say 0/3 or 1/3 etc and then come back without one. I thought it was just meant to go 1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3 etc. Am I missing something?
I do keep forgetting to stop upgrading so I can save lights… But thats my fault haha.

regarding the solution to lagging due to “too much stuff” on screen. that’s so an unfortunate side effect. I’ve reached the point where I have to store pretty much half of my buildings/decorations. and with this new update the crashing got worse so I ended up storing every character that isn’t related to any of this. its still a lil choppy but better now. (I imagine its the snow falling causing the choppy)
I play on my ipad so I’m good for space and whatnot.
the thing is though, I don’t understand why this is even an issue. on the Simpsons game, I have a MUCH bigger playing area with easily 2-3 times more buildings and decorations and characters than I’ve ever had with this game and it runs perfectly fine.
I get that Tiny Co are smaller so maybe this is the best they can do but its a little saddening knowing I have to store half my town to have it run properly. I don’t mind the characters as much as I’ve garned a lot of money so I’m good there. but I have so many ideas for designs and such but I can’t do it as I need to leave space for the event related buildings that always come up.
when we’re between events, my town looks interesting, loaded with a town on one side and pretty much empty on the other. lol I hope they can eventually get better servers or whatever is causing this because I’d love to have a nice full and populated town like their friends in Springfield!
that’s honestly the only complaint I have, otherwise its a great and fun game and despite that issue…I always look forward to new events!
