Hey Everyone! We’ve made some changes that should make parties more reliable.
Can you let us know how your party experience is since 12:00pm GMT on March 20th?
Thanks!
Today is the 2nd time this happens to me
EA StaffHey Everyone! We’ve made some changes that should make parties more reliable.
Can you let us know how your party experience is since 12:00pm GMT on March 20th?
Thanks!
Thanks @SimGuruMaaike I'm testing now. Open party level 10 after 20 minutes. I'll check out later and let you know how it goes.
@thecakeisaLIE82 did you get my message?
@SalixCat No, I haven't gotten any messages, in-game or otherwise. When I try to open the chat, it says "loading..." for several minutes and then it says "failed to connect to chat."
Also, when I host a party, I get repeated messages saying "chat on hold, party chat is not available right now."
I've added my info to a bug report entitled Party Chat Error, server not responding.
@thecakeisaLIE82 I tried to answer your PM. It didn't work. Apparently I've reached maximum number of messages.
I could see your sims. I figured out you had chat problems.
Had a party today. Chat worked good. I got my rewards about 30 minutes ago. I was happy. 😃
@SimGuruMaaike So far no party error messages for me, which is great! I will say though I just got back on and I have 6 hours left of my party which is at a level 10, and not one persons sim is in my home, but my own... It's like they all disappeared! Also there may be a typo on the basket ball hoop, when at parties it says that it cost 75 balloons, and that you earn 75 balloons! Also at parties sims stand alone and do nothing at the karaoke machine when you select sing duet for a party action 🙂 Just fyi, sorry I'm bad at reporting bugs and glitches on here, so I decided to put them all in one because I don't get on here often!
@GothamSirens1989 sounds great. I'm also waiting for my party to finish.
We have a bug report for party points on new items and the Karaoke machine issue. Would you like to comment on this post?
@SalixCat Sure thing, Thank you
@SimGuruMaaike One more thing! I went to a friends party earlier and saw the same group of sims every time I entered her party... Though more players showed up, I still could only see the same group of sims, and no one elses there after! Also 2 hours left of my party, still no error code, and still see no other sims in my home but mine... Screenshot attached shows only my sims and my 2 children at my party! Not even any sims on the sideline anymore..
So, this is an update. Hosted open foodie party yesterday 20th of march. Started at 6:50 p.m. UTC +1.
There were only few guests and I could only see the Sims owned by the first 3 guests to arrive.
The chat didn't show @thecakeisaLIE82 at all but all their four SIms.
The party reached level 10 7:10 p.m. UTC +1 and I closed the app.
I tried different things that have maybe triggered the Error 400 in my game:
I opened and closed the game several times during the evening, had a look to guests houses from the chat, sent my Sims to different locations and back home, went to another party while hosting mine.
I observed guests standing on the sidewalk as well, most of them were those I couldn't see at the start.
Stickers reset happens around 4:00 a.m. UTC +1. I opened the game again this morning around 6:00 a.m. UTC +1. Party hadn't glitched :eahigh_file: but as @GothamSirens1989 says, I only could see my own Sims. All the guests were gone. Is this something that happens after stickers reset?
Conclusion, party ended around 6:50 a.m. UTC +1 and for the first time in months my party didn't glitch 🙂
This message in my chat made my day 🙂
So Happy for you SalixCat 🍧🍨🍡🥟🍥🍦🥧🍰🎂🍮🍭🍬🍫 Cheers 🤩😍
I just tried to enter a party and it gave me the white loading page flashing (aka what an attendee sees on their end instead of Error 400). I closed my game as quickly as possible but it still counted for one of my party slots. Disappointing ☹️
EA Staff@theresebelivets Do you see the party in the list of parties you can return to? Was it by any chance a friend of yours who hosted the party, if yes, can you ask if their party was full?
@SimGuruMaaike It’s there but it shows as if I never entered it and my friend said it wasn’t full
Held foodie party yesterday, March 25th about 10.00 AM GMT+7. It's a just for friend party. The party reached level 10 about 05.00 PM. No error after that. It looks more stable than before, no lags and chat room function properly.
I've been playing this game for 2 years. I had no problems with my parties. However, I started having problems with my parties for about a month: time after the party started at my parties, my guests were standing in front of the house at the ends of the pavement in turn. Later, my guests began to disappear. Soon after, I started receiving "network error 400", "your party is no longer valid". Despite this notification, I sometimes receive my party rewards some time after the party. But I have no information about my guests. I can not give stickers. I started to get bored with this problem from the game. EA help team also gave meaningless answers. I think there is a problem with my account and this should be fixed. If I play for a few more weeks and it doesn't improve, I will stop playing. It is sad to see so many people experiencing this problem. I think the help team of this game fails to solve people's problems. Sorry for my bad english. I've been playing this game for 2 years. I had no problems with my parties.
