The game wouldn't let me load without downloading additional data (booo). It said something to the effect of "there's an addition 12mb of data, download now or wait until wifi?" I clicked "no," (obviously, cause I don't have unlimited data) and the game went ahead and downloaded the data anyway pausing every couple seconds to ask me again if I wanted to download an extra 9, 6,5,3,1mb of data. What the heck is that? Seriously ticked.

I believe that is game assets that your phone doesn't have the memory for and needs to put it on RAAM every time you load the gameHad the same issue for a while. Cleared some space on my phone and the 'issue' lingered for a while, then went away

Just close the game if you get that message and you're on data. You can't play if you aren't up to date

I agree that the message is confusing. When I see it I just close the game, open wifi and relaunch.

It actually does happen with some regularity, though less than before I uninstalled other apps.

I would love to use wifi, but my work won't give us that password :/
