Game running very slow

insufferable :!: And neighbour visits just take FOREVER :evil:

Loading is very slow, although game play is fine. It takes forever (or so it seems) to go from one neighbor to another.

I can tell which neighbor is which solely by the amount of time it takes to load their town on my phone. I have one neighbor that takes a full 10 seconds every single time.

I am seriously considering storing the monorail for now and seeing if that helps. My only hesitation is that I'm scared of placing monorail tracks ever since it glitched my town.

I'm having some lag issues as well. Especially when a kid is done telling a scary story.

Same here. A whooping 1/fps when that happens. :D

ditto, bro
Game can't handle all those materials & enemies spawning. Its been happening to me since after the Monorail update, after crafting Heights items

I have had the same issue. Can't even do neighbor visits as there is not enough time in the day! I have not been able to use my iPhone. iPad also having issues but not quite as bad. Talking with support to see if there can be some resolution.

This is no longer the game it was for me.

Maybe it's my fault for using an "old" device (iPad 3rd Gen) or for not having many gigs of free space on the device. But the game stood up well during monorail/recycling.

- like those above, tapping out the campfire slows everything down to like 1fps
- quickly smoothly scrolling from one area to another is impossible now
- related, just dropping 10 of the Formless things in someone's town can take nearly a minute due to all the slow scrolling.
- noticing a Formless thing in my town can be frustrating because they'll be some lag and I try to scroll or something and there's lag or I'll mistakenly bring up a building dialog box, etc. while watching the Formless scurry away.
- the IRS radius is nice, but if a bunch of cash/currency is flying around the screen I know I now have to take a break of several seconds and wait for everything to be collected
- the Job Manager was very useful and helped me ignore some lag (from assigning tasks). Taking it away from us during this event (and all events?!) is like giving us a flip phone after we've been using the new iPhone for a few weeks.

The snappiness is gone. I keep playing because I can't resist (for now), but I now associate the game with lag.


(totally unrelated: I still do the rail yard, usually getting the 70000 in a little under three days. This week nearly every Hand In during the last 25,000 or so has involved Plastics. It's driving me bonkers.)

I have to agree with most of what you said. Especially the last few points. I was actually just thinking that my game was lagging somewhat before, but the job manager enabled me to ignore or and work around it. Now that I have to assign all of the characters individually it really slows me down. Since I was also noticing the game stopping after using the IRS function, I thought that clearing my town would actually help some. But that has not seemed to help with the scrolling at all. I hope there is some kind of update that can be released, because it is also preventing me from keeping on track.

IPad Air.

Agreed. The lag has gotten worse and worse with each event. Not sure what's causing it, but something is making things slow and bloated, and they seem to just accept it and build more upon the same bloated foundation.

I know there is a function called something-overlay in the code that first appeared with the CoC event that was used to render smoking buildings. They've been using it more and more, e.g., with the stadium lights, and more recently with the Monorail track pieces. I suspect it is part of the problem.

The lag with materials tasks is just as infurating. Things started getting unacceptable with Springfield Heights. I just can't stand it anymore.

Def do it. I had also stored about 1/3 of my characters for awhile, and it seemed to help, but I took them out once we got the send all button. I might store them again.

tapping on iphone 5C ios 9, running slow too when reaching the top right area of the town..
