re: Hexic Bug

I recently experienced twice on my zune that hexic freezed during gameplay. The conditions of both incidents were the same, so I came into conclusion that it is a bug. In Hexic's survival mode, if all of the same colored hexagons touches each other in the way they would make them disappear were all locked, they won't erase their existence. Instead, those hexagons will stay there, locked, until you finished the last move of that level and then freeze the game after it locks the leftover pieces. If anyone experienced the same bug, please post here so that it will be fixed on the next firmware update.

What you're saying is, for example, you have 3 locked reds, two of which are touching, one is not. You remove a hexagon below the one that is not touching which drops it down so it is touching the other two. Those 3 do not get removed, and once you 'complete' the level the game locks up. Did I get that right?

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

I just experience the same bug for the THIRD time today. It actually does not necessarily need to be all locked as I found today (the first two times just happen to be all locked ones that dropped and came together). It just happens when you have one available move left, and the followings that drops down won't remove even if it were the same colors.

I guess it will be easier if I illustrate it:

 

for              spinned         3gs               drops             3rs                 moved                  yup!

example      g g b            removed        down              stays              on                       dead!

   g                  b                 b              

g                  g                                    

   b                  g                                    b                  "locks"            "bonus"              -FREEZE-

g                  g                                    r

   r                  r                  r                   r

r                  r                  r                  r

 

And this only happens in "Survival mode" as I mentioned
