I'm allowed to talk about the game! Mahalo for this wonderful opportunity!

This is a very enjoyable game. The levels are progessively challenging. The audio is wonderful. I buy most time management games and this Coconut Queen will keep me challenged for a good while.

hi.
So I did the mail get Special Sneak Peek for Newsletter Subscribers for coconut queen.will of course the 1 hour test, but the problem did the demo always crashes at the start.

I honestly can't tell whether I like the game because I go to download it and it never does. It'll redownload my launcher and thats about it.

I also have the sneek peek newsletter and am never able to play the downloads. The download process goes through all the usual steps but it never is available; not through the game manager, the desktop, or the program file. I am glad to know I am not the only one, but is there a fix?

The same here and this is the second time in a row that this has happened. first one was with kelly green garden dream and now this game???? Why send the sneak peek out if they don't make sure we can play??? This is frustrating!

I played it.I had no problem with the download.But it seems more action than time management.I'm still trying 2 decide if I like it,since I'm not a big fan of action games but 4 the 1's that r great game,very interesting,the graphics r awesome.

I can't get it to work either. The came starts to launch and crashes every time.

New info regarding the crash!

The new version that will be launching in about T-minus 3 hours (Midnight PDT) will automatically remove the beta files that were causing the problem. When you see it hit the daily release spot on the homepage, go ahead and uninstall your current version, reinstal the new one, and the issue will be resolved.

Thanks for your patience, and let's all synchronize our watches!

For those of you not able to install, are you able to install non sneak peek games ok? There's no difference between sneak peek games and regular games except that you can't find the sneak peek games on the site unless you have the link.

Would you mind submitting your iWinGames log so we can try to spot why you're having this issue?

Click here for info on how to locate the iWinGames log

Then click here to open a ticket to submit the log.

Update: The link from AOL isn't working, but when I copied it into IE it worked. Don't know if this is other's problems or not, but wanted to offer the solution that worked for me.

I mainly use firefox but since it didn't work in Firefox I went and used IE and it worked. so thanks for the help BuddhaAl

can you give me the direct link to join the competition?I could nt find it .I live in belgium ,can I join the concours too?
thanks bzzybee from belgium x

I can get it to start now but it won't go full screen even when it is selected. I certainly wouldn't pay premium prices for a game I can't fullscreen. Fun, but not worth it for that.

The game was fun to play. It will definitely be a game to last for a long time. I would buy it except I can't seem to purchase any games through paypal anymore. I purchased a game 2 months ago, now I can't. So thanks for the trials...

I haven't been able to try out either of the iwin premium games. they download fine but the graphics get messed up and it doesn't seem to be my computer since other iwin games work just fine

i finished the trial and just dont really need to buy a tm game or any game right now. so can anyone tells me if there is a relationship between the main girl and the main guy??

I'm also having a problem getting this game to run. I've downloaded 2 other games tonight and they work fine so it's definitely this game. The screen is full of HUGE white boxes. It's like trying to play through a gigantic checkerboard. Bummer. The game looks great. I was looking forward to buying it but not like this.

How do I get it to go full screen?? Help!!!

Thanks in advance/ Dee

For those of you with video issues, make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card. How much memory do you have on your video card? Premium Games tax your systems memory but I was able to play this game with no trouble on a 5 year old laptop. Go to these articles and make sure all of your drivers and applications are the latest versions. Troubleshooting Your Computer & Video Issues in Games.

Hello,

For those of you who may be experiencing video problems with Coconut Queen - please refer to the linked articles DexGypMom provided. Should you follow the complete instructions and still encounter any problems, we will want to know about them. If you submit a ticket through our support portal http://support.iwin.com and provide your specific details (screen shots are always welcomed) we'll investigate and respond.

Also:

If you were a beta tester of the latest iWIn masterpiece "Coconut Queen" and are going to be playing the final release version - you may experience some game crashes unless you complete the following:

Go to: C:\Program Files\iWin.com\CoconutQueen

Delete: Your player name (a .plre file), players.cfge, scores.cfge, and the game.cfg files.

In addition, you should:

If you are a Windows XP user, Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\iWin and delete the CoconutQueen folder.

If you are a Windows Vista user Go to C:\Users\Public\Documents\iWin and delete the CoconutQueen folder.

This should alleviate any potential crashing issues that could stem from being a beta player.

We loved the game. My wife and I have played the Build-A-Lot series and other similar games and Coconut Queen seems like a breath of fresh air with a sense of humor for building/time management style games. The game was a good challenge too, we found ourselves replaying a few levels trying different strategies for laying out the houses and shops. The Free Pay mode was a nice feature, it reminded me of SIM games i used to play for hours on end.

I hope they put up some tips on the temple area, they were challenging....but fun (shakes fist at Angry Monkeys!)

So whens Coconut Queen 2 coming? you got us hooked on the story and we cant wait to see what happens next

I finished the game, and although I enjoyed it (I must have, since it only came out yesterday!), but hm - that ending? If you can call it an ending. I don't want to give spoilers, but, really, I've seen better. Much better.

I've also beaten all the levels, unlocked everything I could unlock, spent all my rubies and bought everything in the stores, as well as unlocking both secret paths, but I still have two buildings locked. What's up with that?

Hi, love the game, had no tech problems so far, but, I bought the game and the CD...........I have 3000 icoins in my account, but my manager
shows 0. Put in two tickets. I was going to trade for opals, but with the zero factor, no can do, help!! Any suggestions??

I cannot get this game to work anymore. I launch it and a window pops up with an error. Can anyone help?!

Im pretty sure I have all the things necessary for the game to run...with the exception of the Direct thingy....not sure where to check for that. I tried doing the 60 min trial and it wont load. I get a black screen every time. Any ideas????

Thanks

You're very welcome Jessieomer. Glad it helped someone.

This is a great game. Very enjoyable. It also has a high replay value a big plus. The only complaint I have is that the game doesn't list the rent you'll receive on each building. There are plenty of levels that demand a certain amount of rent and it would have been nice to know the amount of rent for each building. How much x-tra rent from each upgrade, to form some sort of strategy in those levels where you pretty much have the area covered in buildings.

The only thing I found similar between the Build A Lot series and this game is building. Some of these levels are like a free for all, build anyplace you can find room. You're not as limited in where you can build in this game a big +. Can I fit a palm tree in there? There is nothing to keep the buildings from needing repair, as in many games of this type.

To get the directx version you're using:
For XP
Click the start menu. Click on Run. Type dxdiag in the box. Your version should be listed at the bottom.

For Vista
Click on start. In the search box type dxdiag.exe. Then click on dcdiag.exe in the search results.

You should also check to make sure your graphic drivers are up to date.

Thanks Budda....I have directx 9.0 so Im guessing that isnt why I cant get the game to load.

You already posted difficulties with this game in Terrie's forum, "Coming Soon". I left you some suggestions there. Crossposting across forums creates confusion for users who might benefit from the answers given. Please refrain from posing the same question about the same subject in more than one forum. It will save you from all that extra typing, too. Thank you, ~MaryBeth

How do you "win" freeplay modes? That is: how do you unlock the new buildings?

jjthoms wrote:How do you "win" freeplay modes? That is: how do you unlock the new buildings?

you don't win freeplay, you unlock it : around level 4 in each area.
And you unlock new buildings throughout the game, the main story will get you there.

Hope you don't consider this a spoiler, but what's with that ending? I was a bit frustrated...

What I mean is that it says to play the Freeplay modes to unlock new buildings. I have done that but no new buildings. So, what's up?

please help........this game is crashing on me on the coconut grove level of the game......i have updated my system, have all the requirements....downloaded and uninstalled........submitted ticket after ticket!!!!! am starting to go insane with this.......the game plays fine all the way through the tutorial, the first 5 levels then when it gets to the second level and i move to the right of the screen....half of it goes black, the black area jumps around the game still runs off and on in the background as i can see the timer moving and my money going up.............so frustrating. all my other games from both here and other sites are fine and like i said this one is ok till i get to this part of the game!!!

jjthoms wrote:What I mean is that it says to play the Freeplay modes to unlock new buildings. I have done that but no new buildings. So, what's up?

Oh, my mistake then.

I don't think you do... I think you play freemode with whatever objects you unlock in the adventure mode.
So the best is for you to finish adventure, so that you can have all the buildings available in freemode.
(not all I guess, I finished and didn't unlock all the buildings... don't know whats up with that either)

Hi Marybeth

Could you please list the game requirements again in here. I went to "coming soon" and the forum page is no longer there unless I am looking in the wrong place. The only thing that might be a problem that I can see is how much space I have left on the computer. I did all the trouble shooting things and sent in a ticket however Iwin has basically told me that it is not their problem because it is not something that is listed in their knowledge base. So I would like to check how much space is required and hopefully maybe someone in here might have an idea as to why the game freezes my whole pc and all I get is a black page. I would really love to try this game out and it is frustrating me that I cannot resolve this problem. Thanks so much

Twosteps - Please read the comments left by Terrie on the first page of this thread. It includes system requirements and some additional info about getting the game to work.

I spent my entire trial time trying to pass the first chapter! Is the game that tough to win or do I just bite at these kind of games?

Seven - you are not alone. I absolutely tank with time management games and after 3 attempts to make it past the first location, I quit and uninstalled the game. I'm just not talented in TM games so I leave them alone. When it gets to crunch time, I click on all the wrong stuff which would make me a very poor shuttle pilot.

ROFL!!! Hopefully if you were a shuttle pilot you'd have more training.....

also a pc screen is not a good interface for controlling an actual vehicle.

How do I get the monkey spas in level 8 of yippee-kei-yeh temple? I've palyed it way too many times and can't get access to them.

HELP- I'm stuck in Kaba-Lui Park, Chapter 5 I've gotten all the requirements except I can't get my appeal to 400. Any tips to help would be appreciated. thanks

Any help on how to salvage the final building on Kaba-Lui Park, Chapter 10? It looks like it's the building I started with in chapter 1, but I don't have the option to salvage and all my other buildings and things are gone?

The palace that is left standing can't be torn down. You must make sure you removed everything else from the island, though. All rocks, bamboo, shrubs, and palm trees (decorative items) must be removed also. Good luck!

I haven't removed palm trees, bushes or rocks and I still won the level.
Just the buildings.
Maybe you're not seeing something.

Like a couple of other people who posted, my game will not go to full screen mode. Is there a resolution to this problem? Thank you.

I'm having the same trouble, getting my appeal to 250/ how do you increase your appeal?? I would appreciate any help!!!
