New Build for My Tribe - 12/2/08

hello,
i purchased this game on 1/09/2009 i am not having any glitches or
problems whatsoever thank goodness for that love the game can't
wait for number 2.

I found this post in another forum on this website. I had been having trouble playing ALL of my BigFish games, not just My Tribe. All of my games had been playing just fine then suddenly (and I believe like QuickStorm that it has something to do with a Windows automatically downloaded update recently installed) I could not play any of my games. I kept getting the drmactivator error. I tried updating drivers and several other suggestions to no avail. Then I found this post (copied below) and followed the simple 2 steps outlined by QuickStorm and then rebooted. I was able to access and play ALL of my games after I did these 2 simple steps. Of course almost all my little villagers and tribes people had died off in the time I was unable to access my games, but at least I can get to them now to start over.

Maybe it will be of help to some of you as well:

PS. My computer runs Vista operating system. This drmactivator error also blocked my games from Reflexive and Real Arcade. I could not play them either. The fix shown below allowed me to access those games as well!!!!

All I can say is for my part...THANKS QUICKSTORM!!!

QuickStorm wrote:This must have something to do with a Windows update. I have had the same problem but fixed it with this:

DEP: (Data Execution Prevention)
If you are receiving the DRM activator error message do the following to correct the issue.
1 - Left click on Start
2.- Right click on Computer
3 - Left click on Properties 4 - Left click on Advanced System Settings
5 - Under Performance click on Settings
6 - Left click on Data Performance Settings
7 - Click on TURN ON DEP FOR ESSENTIAL WINDOWS PROGRAMS AND SETTINGS ONLY.
8 - Click on Apply and then OK.

THEN DO THE FOLLOWING:

UAC: (User Account Control)
Open up Control Panel, and type in user account into the search box. You'll see the link for "Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off". Click it. Uncheck the box, and reboot your computer.

When I purchased this game elsewhere, I didn't know big fish games had a website. For anyone who bought it here GREAT, I wish I'd waited. It is a great game though.

Will I be able to pause it?

I used a potion on 1 of my villagers and the entire tribe fell asleep and I had to put them all in the huts and let them sleep it off. On another occasion, a potion caused everyone to freeze for about 10 minutes and then they went about their business. If you choose to reset the trophies in the trophy room, you might as well forget about getting them all again, because all the mysteries still show they are completed and you can't redo them. Same thing for the science points/levels. I feel completely cheated now, since all I need was the '969' year old villager and decided to redo the other trophies while I was waiting for this to happen. The people who make these games should really make sure that there aren't a bunch of glitches in a game before they release it for purchase.

Oh, I do use McAfee, but did the install/install AFTER they fixed the mess they made.

I agree! I'm not able to pause it! (I don't have the new build.)

The "pause" is under Settings: Simulation Speed. Check the Pause box and your game will be paused when you exit and/or run it. You can also pause during play with the map window. (I have the old build, btw, so not sure it's all the same.)

same situation

What part of the forum do I go to get the instructions to solve the mysteries, or whatever they are called. This is not MY Tribe, on face book. I bought this game.
I played this game back when I first bought it over a year ago. I had the cheats written done, but mis-placed them. I have gone as far as I can go in the game at this point.

im having some issues with this game its the pc version.first when its in full screen it doesnt go full screen the stars and some of the left side are not able to be seen and i cant seem to figure out how to move it over to where i can see it so if i need a star i can use it,i can only play in the smaller screen,2nd no golden relics are coming only mushrooms,stars,moons,crates,i know they come when it rains,i even tried the potion for rain,no luck,no golden relics so my tribe people die around age 74 or so.i tried uninstalling and reinstalling it dont seem to work or help for me anyway.if someone can help me with this i would really appreciate it,i dont like the fb version i like this version way better it just needs fixed!

It needs to storm, not just rain.

I'm so jonesin for the next My Tribe. Please please please, a My Tribe 2. Ok guys, let Big Fish know if you would also like to have a My Tribe 2.

Just some sort of update...

Big Fish?! Are you there? How about a My Tribe 2?! Then a My Tribe 3?! You've got fans enough to make this worth your while! Say YES!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE???!!!

There are tons enough games for the 'Who Dunnit' games, but so few games for those of us digging the My Tribe. Come on... YES?

to the builders of My Tribe: I love this game. I loved the facebook version even more. I really really want a new version - My Tribe 2 - perhaps one of those 'free' games - surely the facebook version wasn't destroyed - it needs more. Please consider this. I really really love this game. I really really miss the facebook version. It seems that someone needs to get it going into a BigFish 'free' game.

Please!
