Article: Explore a city of robots in Machinarium for Windows Phone (http://www.wpcentral.com/comment/806971)

Windows Phone Store: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/machinarium/8c574a5d-d0d4-4383-8fa5-bb13452af643 (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/machinarium/8c574a5d-d0d4-4383-8fa5-bb13452af643)


NOTE:  At this time there is a known problem with the WP port of Machinarium that the Amanita Team are actively working on fixing.

What is the known issue you speak of? I am finding the game to crash at the point in level 5(i think its 5) where you get thrown into a cupboard, the game crashes :(

Yes, that's exactly where all WP players are crashing.

Quoting the March 18th Tweet I provided:
tburia: @Amanita_Design all Windows Phone-users faced with a problem on 5 level in Machinarium. Game crashes each time we try to play 5 level. Fix?

Amanita_Design: @tburia sorry for that! we are already preparing the fix.


Sorry James.B, that's all the info I have at this time.  I suggest that you keep checking the Windows Phone store (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/machinarium/8c574a5d-d0d4-4383-8fa5-bb13452af643) to see when the current version (1.0.0.2) is updated.

Is there any progress with this bug? Or at least a workaround?

@Alex
Are you able to get some information on how fast can we expect the fix to be delivered? If not, what can we do to get a refund :P

Thanks for the info rybek0s!

I just checked and, yes, the Windows Phone Store (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/machinarium/8c574a5d-d0d4-4383-8fa5-bb13452af643) now shows Version 1.0.0.2 has been updated to 1.0.0.3

And ~ the good news ~ WP player comments on the original article (http://www.wpcentral.com/comment/806971) I posted indicate that the fix works and the game is now playable. 

(yay!)

Update:  According to a comment added to a follow up article (http://www.wpcentral.com/comment/819747) that was published after the update to 1.0.0.3 it appears that the in-game hint book may possibly be causing crashes.    :-\

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


UPDATE: The current version is 1.0.0.5  (the in-game hint crashes have stopped)
