Necroing this thread to change my answer. I gave them the benefit of the doubt with the wild west that all the glitches were from such major changes.

Quite honestly, the quality of events has massively improved over past events. Christmas 2014 was referred to as Glitchmas.

I realize there are still glitches, however they do deserve some credit for fixing the massive server issues and loss of event currency etc. that used to happen. Force closing and restarting devices was a regular and daily part of game play.

Hopefully they continue to improve the game quality. Part of the issue now is that the game is so big that older devices can't keep up. Personally, I've only crashed once this event.

Ha! I coined that term. Glitchmas.

I can only really assess my topic based on my experience. What I mean is, while I know every event usually has a glitch or more, that it seemed that EA had been getting better and better at figuring out what they were doing. No one was expecting another "glitchmas", right? That's how far they were improving. Now I think, even with that improvement, they are dropping the ball a lot more.

I'm personally in the middle of having to either download all the DLC every so often (day or so) or not use my device for anything but TSTO (of which I've chosen...) It used to be that I could fill up my device completely (not a good practice) without any issue not even visual glitches. This isn't what I meant with the topic (I meant in-game moreso) but I still think it counts. I've also been kicked out via crashes a few times only during this event (not even during Wild West where I had other glitches).

But I guess it doesn't matter as long as it's not as bad as "glitchmas" (whatever that was like; I wasn't around for it).

Is the Wild West event our first look at a new glitchy experience with TSTO? Is EA's new schedule for releases messing with the quality of the releases? (I mean technical more than storywise. But, story, too.....)

We've had two app-store updates and 5 patches since the start of the event. They weren't game stopping glitches, I guess, but still it makes me wonder if these are happening because of a forced schedule.

Not sure what's happening, but the game is running smooth for me, and has for quite some time.

From what I can tell, this game is just really resource hungry. My iPad Air can barely run this game now a days. That's a bit frustrating considering it's not that old of a device. I think it may have to do with their game engine.

I've been saying this before, but I think they need make their game engine more efficient. This isn't a live action game for it to be this glitchy. My frame rates are just awful, and visiting friends is nearly impossible because of all the crashes.

All I can say is, this game isn't friendly towards heavy city designers. Considering that the game is only going to get bigger, I see more frame rate issues, especially during events. But let's see what happens. Maybe they'll fix that soon.

I suspect it might have something to do with the superhero design trees. Seeing a little bit of lag isn't unusual for me during events, but this one lags, and skips way more than I've seen in the past - and it never crashed on me before this event, let alone the 5+ crashes I'm presently getting a day.

I can't remember which event it was, the lag was horrible and they gave us some donuts after it was patched. I always had some minor problems here and there but nothing like the one I'm getting now. Getting kicked off in the middle of the game seems to be a common problem. Another problem we had in the past is infamous Bart screen not connecting.

Maybe it is the trees. I'm not sure. I don't remember if it was this bad last year.
