Graphical glitches in SCBI - Pink Pixelated Frozen Screen
The game has severe graphical glitches. The background shows black and pink checkerboard patterns, and most of the buildings and structures appear completely white, losing all textures. Some menus and icons still display normally, but the overall screen looks broken, as if the textures failed to load. Every time this happens, I have to close and reopen the game to continue playing, but after only a few minutes the issue comes back. This occurred many times today, making the game nearly unplayable. My phone is an iPhone 11, and it still has plenty of storage space. This issue kept happening repeatedly throughout yesterday. [CM - Edited title for clarity]Game is Very "Sluggish" - Freezes 4 times every few minutes
VERY frustrated with SimCity Buildit! The game "freezes" or locks up 4 times every few minutes, making the game very difficult to play. This has happened since the last update to Services 2.0. Am playing on a Amazon Kindle Fire (Android), which I have been for years. Was hoping that this was temporary and would be fixed soon, but it has not yet been resolved.Broken Ad Loop - Forge of Empires - Tab S9 FE / Android 16
Im currently experiencing a frustrating issue with a specific advertisement: 'Forge of Empires'. The ad plays until the end, and the 'X' to close it appears after 'Reward Granted'. However, the 'X' is completely unresponsive. I have to use the Android 'Back' button to return to the game, but then I don't receive my reward. The worst part is that this specific ad keeps reappearing in a loop, making it impossible to collect any bonuses. Since the Service 2.0 rollout on my SamsungTab S9 FE (SM-X510), the game has been struggling with performance anyway, and this broken ad loop makes it even harder to participate in COM or the Design Challenge. Is anyone else having trouble with this specific spot or similar unresponsive UI elements in ads after the update? It’s very disruptive. Thanks for any help!"Let's expand our city's!
We need more land to put all the earned buildings, as a player from the first day, my main city and regions are full. The Services 2.0 roll-out made me build more services to cover the same region... So, if EA want me to buy the CoM pass again, i need some more space. Why should I invest in the pass when i can't put the earned buildings in my city?
Another game crash report
I'm running Android 16 on a Pixel 6a. The game crashes every time I try to expand City Storage. Material Storage expands without a game crash. I do have another device, an older device, that I log into and upgrade City Storage that way, then switch back to my main device. After reading the forums, I doubt this will be fixed. I thought I would perform my due diligence, though. I'll likely just play something else with all the evidence of bugs going unresolved.Buildings from the old seasons of the mayor's pass
Dear developers, I wanted to share an idea for the game. The beauty of playing Simcity Buildit, beyond the strategy, is being able to build your own world however you want, And the Mayor's Pass buildings offer unique freedom. It's just a shame for those who started playing later (Example: I'm starting this season now and I see buildings from older seasons and I say, "Wow, I wish I had that.") or simply wish they were never available again after the season. It would be nice to be able to have them even after, for example, with a paid pass or with other missions. This would give greater creative freedom than what everyone wants when they install the game. I hope I have been clear, and I hope you will accept my request. I am open to a peaceful discussion and I wish you a good day.

I have been part of the same war club for 4/5 years and mid way through our last war I was removed for no reason. I searched for my old club and they didn’t appear, most of the clubs in the search had 1 or 2 members… the game just wasn’t the same. Apparently I’ve been changed to a different server, happens with cheats apparently- but I’ve never cheated and never would. i can’t get in touch with EA other than with a bot, how can I get back to the original server and to my old are groupsKeeps getting an error when visiting a city through Global Trade HQ
I've been frustrated when I looking for a item for making a material since it takes hours when making myself at factory, it keeps getting the same error message that saya "We have a Problem" before returning to my city. This happen multiple times when visiting other cities for an item that I'm not looking for has no problems. Is there a solution regarding this error or a way to fix this error? Thank YouYou guys officially ruined the game
Instead of fixing problems we had you guys keeps on adding problems to this game I will write down a small list of what i can think of but they are probably many more 1)you made the game pay to win only..one of the important reasons people loved this game is that paying didnt gave you advantage of points over free players only made it easier...but now every week you just offering points for cash... You just ruined it..now its pay to win only 2)- i am playing the contest every week.. trying to be at top 6 and yet i keep on loosing golden tickets more then i can possibly gain...it is ridiculous.. leading to the same problem if you don't pay we won't let you play 3) you guys banning some players without them making anything wrong while the hackers in game are free to play all the time..this is a joke 4) some milestones are ridiculously hard while others are too easy... Why do we need to build so many residential homes? Or why do we need to p&c so many items? This is have no proportion to the tasks we have... On the other side you can do train milestones harder and give more points... There should be more balance on the points we get from each milestone 5) all this dog and cat event is so stupid i have over 1000000 green coins but they all useless your exchange rates is ridiculous... Again pay to play and watch ads.. 6) vu pass. First you made it longer and reduced the prizes...and now you made it way too short but the prizes remained very small And the list goes on and on...it seems like you guys decided its pay to play only game and doing everything you can in order to push players out of this game... I played for many years now...but you ruined every single piece of fun this game had The odds anyone will read it and actually do something about it probably very small... But i made my effort before i will leave the game like many others will
