I am thinking this issue is perhaps happening especially when you host scheduled parties where most players try to join at the same time.
I normally don't schedule parties, but host 8 - 9 p.m. UTC +2 any day of the week.
I hosted a party a couple of days ago at an unusual time, something like 9 a.m. UTC +2. It did not crash, but the strange thing that happened was that next day, after collecting rewards, the purple party bubbles reappeared and I had to collect party rewards again.
@SalixCat Yeah, some of the issues are related to lot of guests arriving at the same time, people going in and out of parties, entering CAS while in a friend’s party..
I’m hosting friends only parties around same time every week, so my long time in game only friends know that there’s a party.
There’s no rush (like some of the parties I attend that are announced in insta beforehand 😅) and it takes normally 4 hours to get lvl10 without a lot of party actions from me.
This time during first hour I had 7 guests and rest of the 7 came during the next 4 hours. Not sure what happened when the party disappeared since it was already lvl 10 and there wasn’t major ‘traffic’ visible for me at that point. And I wasn’t doing anything out of ordinary when it happened 🤔
My party was still running in the background and wasn’t visible for me. The guests probably didn’t notice anything wrong since they had already done the party actions and basically no need to go back to the party 🤷♀️
This is like Clue.. Who did it? With what and where.. 🧩 😄
@Ilois4 @GracieSeven Notice that 'Friends only' parties will most probably change to 'Open for everyone'. Check out the chat and see if some of the guests are players that are not on your Friends list. This is something you won't notice while you host a scheduled party with all the guests arriving at the same time.
Soo... both parties started.
The first one (7 pm) crashed with the old issue. To many simmers rejoined and the players hit the 100 mark.
It was started from an android phone. Nothing else happened. Same as usual.
The second party was startet from an iOS phone at 7:30. The same players went to both parties - but this party is crashed after few minutes.
Something I noticed: Players (and also the Host) with an iOS system can't get into this crashed party again. Same issue like the others said: the app closes by itself.
But me, as an android user, can go back to the party. Nothing strange happens - except the missing name in the party. I don't see which sim is hosting the party after the other players complaning about the crash. A friend with an android phone doesn't see the name, too. Maybe it's a hint for something.
This issue is mostly on iOS and I think I can agree: It's happening if too many players joining at the same time...
Sometimes it effects android-user, too. But in my community it's mostly iOS users.
@SalixCat I hosted on my third account last night. That was an unscheduled public party. The friend list only has 5 people in it and 2 players showed up, the rest were random guests. The party crashed 1 hour after I started it.
I still got the party rewards by clicking, where I usually start the party. There was a pop-up similar to the friends' party rewards pop-up, but with my IGN on it.
