Bart screen, Bart Screen, Bart screen...

It's having a Bart Screen day today. Anybody else?

    Yup! Still happening here too, got kicked out 3 times during my morning clear up of buildings and people, lost out on heaps of donut spins. Definitely not the best time to farm rat trap trucks IMHO, luckily I have approx 30,000 donuts in stock so no rush, I'll just wait till the servers are more stable.


    I can clear one, maybe two RTTs before server boots me.
  • This is just getting worse and worse for me. Unfortunately I don't know how much of this is caused by my internet connection.
    Switching to my very limited phone data reduces the kickouts a little, but I don't think I could even last out the month just playing the game on the phone data allotment. If something updated (and you can't turn off all updates) I'd be 'out in the cold' with no spare data if I had to go somewhere and needed internet for anything (like directions for example).
    I finally found a web site that shows more information about your internet connection than just the speed. Our home connection showed a Jitter of 549 on one test - and the info I found on jitter says it should be less than 30 for a stable connection.

    549?? That's not good at all.

  • I usually have Barted after the splash screen.
    But over the last couple of weeks I get it before.
    Tap the app to open, black screen, Gracie Films Fox EA screen, BART, (what the hell), retry, sometimes splash screen sometimes wait 17 seconds.
    If I get 17 seconds, it is a waste of time reloading because it will just do it again, exit and swipe up then reload app.
    This is a lot of late and never been like this before.
