ETA on glitch fix?
Wednesday afternoon I experienced that dreaded glitch - the flashing of old events, the inability to clear or initiate character tasks using the icon in the upper-left corner, reduced tapping radius. ...

I just had the glitch happen. Was ok at 5pm est then at 8pm est it started to bring up all the old events. Now the task icon does not work, collecting circle is tiny and no more rail yard tasks for this week. Called EA and got a phone call back in less than 10 minutes, person said they are working on it, gave a few troubleshooting tips but did not work.
Looking at all the other post and some say rollback others say dont, torn as to what I should do. EA rep did say "other than it being harder to play now, it will not hurt to keep playing till we fix it", leaning towards that.
Anybody have any thoughts?
From what I found online between old threads here and on Reddit, a rollback is the only fix. When EA called me they wanted to troubleshoot, but I elected not to do that since I had done my own and the guy's accent was so heavy and I was getting a lot of feedback, so I just pressed for a rollback since I knew the exact minute my game freaked out cuz I screenshoted it. I'd rather just lose 24th hours of progress instead of a week's. At this point I can still play to win Nana mossilini (whatever).
I also read you should re-install the game and delete your app cache so I did all three (including rollback) and hopefully it won't reoccur. Fingers and toes are crossed! I had a similar glitch on The Quest for Stuff and tbh, I never went back after Tinyco 'fixed' it. But I have been played tapped out since 2012 and I still love it so... Please please tapped out gods, don't screw up my game! Lol.
A rollback is likely to prove a temporary fix. As for the advice on re-installation and cache deletion — users have reported doing this and still experiencing a recurrence of the glitch.
