Support Help : Fail New Update ?!

14 December 2012, Fantasica launch a new update at google play...
And then....

It downloaded and updated BUT keep error downloading...

So.. I found out a few player comment below the comment section, and regret to not see it before i update.

Please forum reader, if you sees this

DON'T EVER UPDATE TO NEW VERSION !

Quote :

I updated my game through Google Play, got the "Error parsing data!" message, and was unable to launch the app. I finally found a work-around and I am now back in the game.

Reinstalling the app from Google Play did not work, but I noticed that the game version was 1.9.0.2.4, with the desktop icon of Gremory. I ended up downloading an older version (1.7.0.8 ) from a third-party site. I allowed it to update only from within the app, I did not update it through Google Play. (The older version I installed has Avril on the desktop icon.)

If you need to do this, you will need to enter Settings>Applications and check "Unknown Sources." Then go to the third-party website which contains an older version of Fantasica and download/install it. Once this is done, you can uncheck "Unknown Sources" if you like.

The website I used to download the older version is: http://www.androidgamesroom.com/stand-alone-games/83967.htm (I have used this site to download a few apps before and have never found any problems.)

I am currently back inside Fantasica, running version 1.7.0.8. If anyone needs help going through this process, feel free to PM me or post here. I'm on my way to work, but will check here every now and then.

Good luck everyone.

EDIT: This only applies to those using an Android device, not to iOS users. I am using an LG Thrill 4G running Gingerbread (2.3).

As I stated in the questions thread, my phone updated to this version immediatly when I turned it on the other day (I have Fanta set to auto update.)

The first time I ran the app it just sat at that opening movie for half an hour. I killed the app, waited two minutes and restarted the app. It worked fine.

I'm not refuting the existance of the error because I'm sure it exists, but I am saying it is not an all inclusive android error...I'm guessing it has something to with older phones, or it could be one of those cases where the carrier is the problem (rare as hell, but still probable.)

Just here to say anyone with a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket on AT&T dosn't have to worry about the update...

I email to them.. they reply me this too..
by any chance my mobile was htc wildfire many old enough to not update

Why would anyone need a cashe cleaner? Am I incorrect that if you go to settings>apps>fantasica there should be an option to clear the cashe there?

yes there is an option there to clean cache...i personally dont know why they would do that its more of an issue with a patch on the update

yeah.. i though they will remove the new update from play and use lower version.

did you uninstall the Fantasica with gremory as icon before installing the avril one from that website?
