iPhone/iPad

I agree, there is a conflict between the game and iOS. But, consider the following before nuking everything.

There are so many variables involved. The picture I am attaching shows a brief but non-exhaustive diagram and explanation of everything involved to make the game function. Any interruptions along the diagram can result in any number of issues not exclusive to the server.

Pink pixelation occurs when the GPU (for whatever reason) cannot process the data effectively for a clear picture.

I recently downloaded a new game and I cannot play for very long, it keeps freezing. SimCity works on my device, but the new game doesn't.

While SimCity is designed for multiple devices (across time as it is an old game), the new game uses current technology and is designed for newer devices. I can't play the new game because my device is old.

The same thing happens with updates to existing games and systems. Newer technology can make what was working no longer function properly.
