City completely dark – lighting/rendering bug
Hello EA Support Team, I’m experiencing a graphics/rendering bug in SimCity BuildIt. Description: My city suddenly became completely dark. This is NOT normal night mode. There are no street light...

VRAM is exhausted and GPU is artifacting. It is a hardware problem through and through.
Do you have any apps or settings that are designed to boost performance? If so, those may work temporarily but over time they will cause your device to overheat and throttle and in so doing create these issues.
Pink pixelation is beginning signs of your hardware malfunctioning and potential permanent damage.
While your efforts are appreciated, why does it only happen with Sim City? No other games cause the issue. It is clearly a fault with the game. EA need to resolve this.
The only answer I have for you.
SimCity Buildit works fine on my device. Warframe doesn't.
Warframe is newer and designed for newer devices. My device is old.
As systems and games update, they evolve with newer technologies.
Android devices typically come with more RAM available than Apple devices.
Most reports have come back that replacing the device solved it completely, while all software troubleshooting and user settings workarounds have not.
The final contribution I have for troubleshooting the pink pixelation (a graphic specific issue) is to remove all Landscape, Landmark, Park, and Mayor's Pass items that have extra graphic visuals.
It would be tedious to confirm this way, but I wish someone would try it and confirm.
This has been a difficult issue to help troubleshoot. I hope there is a resolution (even if I am wrong and it is indeed a "bug").
