Game freezes

[MALICE00]

Hi,

So far I haven't had any issues with the game, until I made it to Funfair level D... When the mole-canon launches a mole, the game freezes (music still plays though!) and when I go to Windows I see an error-message:

ERROR!
StoreStats - failed, 16

I can just click OK and game will continue, but alt-tabbing every couple of seconds doesn't make for great gameplay...

Any idea on what this is/what I can do about it?

[MALICE00]

OK, so I restarted Steam completely and now I have no problems finishing the game...

One question though, does the above error have something to do with achievements? Because I feel I should've gotten the 'Gold Rush' one (and probably 'Demolition Expert' as well), but I haven't been awarded those... Or is there a golden mole hidden somewhere?

Yes it does have something to do with the achievements. Basically when the game can't communicate with Steam you will get that error when you unlock an achievement. We have just submitted a patch that will stop the error from coming up even if Mole Control can't communicate with Steam.

You'll probably have to do demolition expert again and I'm looking into the Golden Mole achievement for you...

Playing again shouldn't be too hard, I really love this game!

How many Golden Moles are there? Are there more than one in every story part?

[ajr_developer]

There is one Golden Mole in every zone and there are 6 zones. Thanks for the positive feedback, its really nice to hear people are enjoying the game ;)

Hmmm, I collected all 6 without getting the Gold rush achievement too.

Btw, there's a spelling mistake in the journal about the Red Mole. It says:
"Unlike all the other supermoles it has cannot be launched on its own".

The Gold Rush is the only achievement I'm missing. Those time attack levels got pretty hard in the end =)
