Welcome to the forums!
You could contact them and they could definitely help you out, or you can wait for the teardown patch for the winter event. The files will be modified and there's a good chance all will be well for you after this. Historically this patch will come 1-2 days after the event, so maybe tomorrow I'm guessing. - @RMancini10 - Just curious, do you have a lot of monorail pieces on water? When I had too many connected pieces over the water, I started getting these graphical glitches. I think that's what is going on in brickevand408's town.
@Brick, could you try removing your a bunch of those rivers or laying down concrete underneath your monorail to check? You might have to exit and return or remove and replace some rails as well, but I don't think an update is going to fix your issues. I think the game just can't handle your currently monorail setup. sandwedgeking wrote:

Yes actually I just finished building all my monorail, and all of it is on water- I have a lot of monorail pieces on the water and my game works fine . "For now. "
- Removed some pieces and it did nothing. The glitch started to happen after I collected a load of money and closed the game before it had all collected.
Will probably wait till the update if nothing contact EA - I had some trouble logging in during the holidays and then everything turned weird. Water, roads, buildings. It took me days before it got back to normal.
- After update I will try
Thx for saying bro ; -) - Just updated and is still messed up. Sigh.
Gonna have to ring up, have spent some money in game and can't play properly like this. RMancini10 wrote:
I could certainly be wrong, but I don't think you tried hard enough ("Removed some pieces and it did nothing").

The monorail pieces are the easiest items to add and remove in this game - no confirmation tap to put in inventory. It may sound drastic, but remove ALL of the water (or add concrete) that your monorail is placed on. Then store ALL of your long straight pieces - if you leave the short/S-shaped/curved pieces, you shouldn't have any problems replacing the long straight pieces after. Once you've done this, go to Krustyland or Neighbor screen and return. I'm guessing this will fix your problem. Now re-add all those straight pieces and exit and return. Still working? Then start adding your water, but understand there is a threshold - add the water slowly, exit and return - once there are too many pieces on water, you'll start seeing the glitches again.
You might think it's too much work, but I really don't believe EA reps will be able to help you or Brick. You and he seem to be the only ones having this problem - I haven't seen complaints elsewhere. If it were a widespread issue, more would be voicing concerns. Brick's monorail runs the entire perimeter of his town and I'd bet 90% of his 300+ rails are over water. So is yours. I don't think it's a coincidence.
Just trying to help - hope it works out for y'all and good luck to you when ya contact EA.
