Game freezing

It's not the device. This is a game-wide issue

I keep having the same issues

It's a  game issue 

I'll add to the list of "it isnt the device" group. It's happening on my android phone & my iPad. I really hope this isnt the first time you're seeing this request

Is this some kind of joke… please see ALL my other posts (and that of lots of the player base) highlighting the same issue!!! Try taking your head out of the sand, accepting it’s a game issue rather than blaming everything and everybody else…

Having the same issues, coincidentally also on a Pixel 8.

It's unrelated to the amount of background applications, connection or contents of the cache. 

Since this is the only application where it happens, my phone manufacturer support replied that it is a software issue and I should contact their support.

So here we are.

It's definitely not a game cache or device issue, nor is it an issue with background apps running. I have like 20 screenshots of the game freezing when I buy shipments, collected in the last several weeks. The game also has the hiccups on the PC app: less pronounced, but absolutely noticeable, so it's not even exclusive to mobile. 

Please don't kick the can down the road by blaming end users, it's a problem with the app that is relatively new. I am 100% sure this didn't use to be an issue up until several weeks ago. I understand that the first, quite reasonable, instinct is to go "have you tried turning it off and on again" i.e. basic troubleshooting, but I've done that and the issue persists. 

Edit: not to even mention that when a game that (at least in my experience) frequently literally freezes for upwards of 10 seconds at a time in battle, stealing game time off the battle clock, because it can't keep up with its own animations and the 374 effects playing off each other that need to be calculated in an instant, begins to choke when buying shipments, the reaction from users that it's a problem with the game is also reasonable. 

Should I contact every manufacturer I play on? I play on multiple devices and they all have the same issue the game lags and freezes. I know its not directly your fault and EA usual response is deal with it by blaming everything else but themselves. This issue is a recent thing I have been playing for 10 years and only within the last few months it came up.

This issue is widespread as a bug in technical issues forum, as well as all over Reddit.  Clearing cache is a temporary bandaid at the device level as a workaround for a base game issue.
