Well I lost Raymond.

[Chicken Tender]

I moved in Raymond via forced out by amiibo before the patch.
He asked me to move out multiple times, didn’t think about, and then read later on he was glitched. I panicked.

I’ve had my island on lockdown since, and he was doing fine.
Updated my game and he was still there! I felt relieved until today.
A whole natural day passed, woke up and started my game and he’s gone. Isabel didn’t even announce that he left.
Pretty sad about it but looks like anyone who had a villager that had the potential to glitch, even if they didn’t enter the weird “I’ve moved out” phase will disappear too.

edit: I want to make it clear he never entered the “Ive moved out” phase where there was just a vacant house or plot, he was completely normal and functional. When I booted up my game he had just completely disappeared like he never existed. No one mentioned him leaving.

I feel so bad... They handled this horribly... On a more positive note, does this mean the glitch was fixed?

 

[raqball]

Bummer... I didn't think Raymond had an Amiibo so how did you move him in via one?

Someone else forced their Raymond out with an Amiibo and then she adopted him.

sorry for your loss... but I guess this confirms that anyone with a glitched villager will have a “fix”.
It sucks they couldn't save the glitched ones but hoping this means no more glitches at all.

From everything I’ve read so far, yes it’s been fixed. Kinda bummed though I was hoping he would be safe because he moved in okay and was still okay after the update /:

 

[astoria]

Did you pay anything for him? Like bells or nook tickets?

 

[SliceAndDice]

Could you maybe try to move him to another Island via void and get him back eventually?

 

[Khaelis]

It's a bummer, but it was probably for the best. These 'bugged' villagers essentially had data saved to them that made them ticking time bombs. You were one of the more lucky victims of this bug... luckily, the bug seems to have been fixed, so good luck on your search for Raymond!!

 

[Lellyna]

They really did handle this horribly but at least this is fixed so this won’t happen again sorry for your loss

i traded for him... quiet a lot actually sigh.

Ah thanks, hopefully he can return home soon

i'm sorry to hear that you lost raymond! this is strange though because i had a glitched villager who hadn't "moved out", and they were fine after the update. a natural day passed, and they're still fine. i did online trading after the update, and they're still here. i wonder if they're still bound to move out inevitably?

 

[absol]

Oh no I'm sorry :c
I wonder if he's still in your void and if yes if he's glitched there too

I was hoping this was the case for me too, Raymond moved in fine and was interacting normally, he lasted a full day after I updated the game but when I woke up today he just disappeared. Hopefully it doesn’t happen to you too

 

[Noctis]

I'm so sorry ))))): Whenever I adopted a villager I made sure if they were a natural move out so I don't deal with the consequences

 

[astoria]

Aw, well maybe try telling the person what happened and see if you can get your stuff back?

 

[Rosie Moon]

Oh geez I’m sorry to hear that
My Bunnie was given to me by another player, she’s shown no signs of glitching (had her for a few weeks) but since she came from someone else I’m now wondering if she has the potential to disappear...

The only signs my Raymond has was that he asked twice to move to my island, which I didn’t understand at the time.
And he was forced out via amiibo.
if you don’t meet these requirements your bunnie might be okay, at least I hope so I can’t be sure though :’(

 

[cheezu]

Wow...
That is so odd that he was fine after the update but then disappeared a day later. And also very scary.
I have my Zucker and he's the only villager I ever adopted and the one I care about the most. I have no idea if he's glitched (never shown any signs of it but then I also never bothered to check if I could invite him twice either).
Their idea of fixing this glitch seems weird to me... also the fact that it wasn't even properly addressed if it was fixed in the first place makes me wonder if the update could even unlock more glitches.

 

[raqball]

What are the signs of a glitched villager? I've traded for 1 and she appears fine..
