    Hi all

    finally found the solution to my Ipad 2/Sim City buildit problem on the EA servers (just cannot find the solution post anymore). I applied it and it's been working just fine so far: switch off the background app refresh (actualisation en arrière plan in french). Especially on memory voracious apps like youtube or so...

    Hope this will help some of you.

    (there is an update to my problem, what I say in these lines is no longer valid)

I have been playing since last February and would experience the occasional freeze up and crash, but it was tolerable when it only happened once in a while. I have my city up to level 52, with appx 990,000 population. In December around the time of the Sim City Christmas update I also updated my software to IOS 9.2.1.  Ever since I ran both of these updates the game freezes and crashes constantly, to the point where I can only play for a few minutes at a time without it crashing, I don't even bother trying to get into global trade or Daniel's city at this point because most of the time it just freezes up by just clicking the tab.  I continue to hold out hope that there is going to be an update with bug fixes or EA will offer a way around the problems, but at this point attempting to play this game has become pure frustration and causes my blood pressure to go up.  Can anyone at least direct me to an answer, is my issue is the size of my city or is it my software or is it just poor programming in the game itself ?

Hi
Poor programming indeed. You can continue playing switching the wi-fi off. You are lucky if you can play a few minutes while connected because I crash instantly when connected. You can access Daniel's city when unconnected. Of course when wi-fi is off there'll be no market and no sales but also no way to buy credits for the game wich is good since everything you spent on the game will be lost sooner or later. To bad for EA who also looses players confidence...
