@mech4warden Are you playing on the latest updated versions of both the game and OS?
Yes.
I quickly installed the game's most recent update, hoping it would fix much of the issues with stability. This was before this character jamming glitch happened.
One tends to get bugged about Android OS updates when it is your turn on the update roll out, and have long since upgraded. Just to make sure, I checked a moment ago, and said I had the latest version.
I hope the next game update unjams my character, assuming it is just a version verification glitch. I'm reluctant on starting over with a new character and put off from playing because of this.
I made a second character (tried to use slot 3, not wanting to overwrite the first) to check to see if the world was fine, and it was. Of course, checking the piggy bank and safe yielded nothing, beside getting a stack of glitched objectives, which looked like a graphics library 2x3 (or 2x4) group of tree branch sprites for normal trees. Collecting those and trying to use them cleared up the glitched items. At least some self correction is done in-game. ... But might explain why some items disappear, if they are seen as glitches and deleted.
Everytime I try to start playing, I get the same 'newer version' error from that character file, so I know my first character file is still there. Because of it, my second character's sprite is displaced to the second slot, even though his name is on the first slot. Seems like the code is a bit sloppy in regards to displaying characters, since it knows there are two character files (trying to display both sprites, but failing on the first), but gives only one name and putting it on the top of the list. Since the game doesn't use 'slots' as one would assume, it just does an alphabetized list, but is limited to showing three items.
Anyway, hoping for an update to come soon, and unjam my guy after a successful trip from the Underworld.
