Exceedingly long loading times

Mine wouldn't load at all for several hours earlier today. When I tried a few minutes ago it was slow. I also noticed the game seemed unstable, like it was going to kick me out (which it usually does after a few seconds). I haven't bothered visiting others because it will definitely kick me out.

I'm using an iPhone 4 with a strong wifi connection. Going to try my Kindle Fire in a bit.

its gotta be something on EA's side. its been slow for everyone the past week.

this is painful.

I had noticed one of my towns loading extremely slowly, but thought it was because of the new elements added for squid port.

The last 2 updates seems to have fixed the disconnects every 15-20 minutes-but looks like at the expense of slow load times on the server side.

Omg,that's my gif, lmao.

I've timed it now and it took 47 seconds to login, and then an additional 1 minute 5 to actually get into the game, for a total of 1 minute 52 seconds load time.

But hey, at least I'm not seeing Bart as soon as I start up anymore.

Haven't been on here in a bit, but totally thought this was just me.

i just timed mine and it took 1 minute 49 seconds to load. not quite 2 minutes :roll:

....for the millionth time... Stop exaggerating!!! ;-)

A lot of other games take a lot longer to load this game isn't that bad doubt it takes 15 mind to hours to load the game. If your in an IOS platform I find it always loads faster if you clear it out of the recent list. If the game is in the recent list it usually hangs a jot but loads within 2 minutes where as if I have it completely clear of the recent task list and start normally my game loads within a minute and I'm using the iPhone 5 on the 3G network so ya a bit of exaggeration from ppl I believe

Unfortunately it is not exaggeration. I experience the same long loading times since about a week ago (about 2 minutes, but sometimes even 3) compared to the usual 30-40 seconds. I am on an iPad4. I experience the same after killing the process, device restart and reinstall of the game also.

Just wanted to update: i don't know what the guys did at EA, but in the last 1,5-2 weeks it loads pretty fast. Usually I am in my Springfield again in 15-20 seconds maximum, it does not take 2-4 minutes.
