Black screen of death/ moving my hedge maze

I have had no connection since yesterday up until a couple hours ago. Now the connection is very spotty and I have noticed that I get connectivity issues more often if I'm in a neighbors town than if I stay in my own. Not quite the same as getting kicked out, but maybe a similar source. I'm not your neighbor so I can't check out your town for you.

While I've been having crashing issues, their not that severe that I can't play or visit friends. Mainly I just crash once or twice a day.

@indy, while sometimes loading your town it takes a while, I contribute this to EAs week servers and not your town.

I am crashing in my towns
Big or small, all go down.

I am crashing in Krustyland
(Do I sync in time? I hope I am)

Too many released collecting cash
Down I go. There’s the crash.

Friends visit and it’s sluggish
I visit friends, crash, it’s buggish.

I want the free donuts, need the XP
These crashes are driving me crazy!

Maybe level 33 should be content free
EA should just ensure stability!

:wink:

I'm crashing no matter who I visit. I think it's the game and not your town causing issues.

I'm in North Carolina. We must be on the same servers.

From time to time I get what I called the "black screen of death" when my hedge maze gets a little buggy. Takes forever to load and I see just a black screen for awhile. (I wondered if it was just me, but apparently neighbors also have trouble loading my town.) Today, it's worse. Also, when visiting some neighbors with really well decorated towns today, the game kept locking up and booting me out. There is one neighbor whose town today took 5 tries to get into. (I will pm that person.) It's going to take me a day or two to move it due to its size. If your a neighbor, when I'm done, I'd like to know if it loads better.

I'm moving it because I'm a little concerned my game is just going to crash.

Anyone else notice if the game or neighbors' towns were crashing more today? (It was a total of 4 neighbors that I crashed at least once trying to enter their Springfield. (Had no trouble with Krustylands.)

I didnt have any problems visiting you or any other neighbors today :-)
My game did crash when I was moving a building in krustyland but thats about it.

+1 for that. Time to fix the server issues first!

Well I just spent 2 hours moving that huge hedge maze to the corner of my town. I just decided to kill and evening and move it, rather than wait. :lol: I think it fixed the problem. :D It does seem to load better now, since it's not the first thing the you see.

Now I just have to figure what to do with my landing zone. But I'm waiting until this weekend when I hopefully will have enough money to finish off buying the land. I'm doing it once and I'm not changing it.

I'd buy it now, but what if there is an update Thursday? I really hope they fix the lagging and crashing first.

I'll post pics tomorrow of my new, slightly bigger hedge maze. This one doesn't have my name in it, but something to go along with the bell. 8)

I got a pop up saying I had 4,500 decorations as I was finishing it. Are you supposed to get one at 3,000? Or is 4,500 the first? (I eliminated some trees to stay under that 4,500 limit. )

I'm not far from the state line, so we probably are. I hope they fix it soon.

Yep I still can't play my game since yesterday. Keeps loading for ages then going to the black screen that normally appears before my town does, then bam, back on my home screen

:cry: wish I knew what to suggest.

That's why I decided to move stuff around today. I was afraid I'd only get a black screen tomorrow. Maybe it's just the server and it will work for you soon.
