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.

    I'm getting a pink pixelated frozen screen in my capital.  Started after October fest update 

    It seems to be linked to upgrading roads.  

    No issues in my region.

    Ios 18.7. Ipad 10th generation.

    While playing SimCity BuildIt on my iPad, the screen randomly fills with pink and purple squares and large black blocks. When this happens the game becomes unresponsive or completely freezes. I have already updated both iOS and the game to the latest versions, reinstalled the app, and restarted the device multiple times, but the issue persists. Other apps and games on the iPad work normally.
