Animation won't appear when staffed

[matts7000]

When I have a building that is sufficiently staffed, it will not show the animation of people working that indicated that is functioning. How do I fix this?

if you are talking about theatre and such, you require a theatre school that send actors working there for an example.

NO! This happens with EVERYTHING!

I guess this is the animation speeds bug, only the animations never even begin (or they are imperceptibly slow). Affects gods the same way (in fact I got the bug while angry Poseidon was summoning near my fisheries). It's curious that I didn't have the bug during the first couple of hours of play and I only got it today. I have tried everything, including reinstalling the game, but the bug persists.

Animation failed, Sprites glitch
(missing icons, flags do not appear, buildings freezes/empty, never indicate)

There is a glitch in the entire Caesar3 + Pharaoh + Zeus + Emperor series where (suddenly!) Building Animation stops working

It's impossible to play without Building Animation, you can't see if the Building works or not.
Usually a REBOOT helps.

The missing animations are caused by your computer being on (including sleep) for too long. After about 24 days, a number will wrap to negative and animations will be gone. Two solutions are available: wait another 24 days or restart your computer.

Restart your computer. All Impressions citybuilding games have this clock-related bug where animations stop working after you leave your computer on (or sleeping) for about 24 days. Restarting your computer resets it. Or wait 24 more days until the animations return automatically...

In general, Reboot, or wait another 24 days :D

Most laptops are set to Sleep and Hibernate by default.
Not surprisingly, the problem has escalated, because Shutdown has become a rarity.
