How bad is your lag?

Store your SH buildings that still need upgraded. It helped mine out a lot.

iPad 3rd Gen.

I don't think I had lag during monorail. Maybe a little.

But now...

If I tap the campfire kids I have to wait like 15+ seconds as the frame rate is about 1 fps for awhile. After I use the job manager it seems to ignore my input for 5-10 seconds.

If I tape one a group of nightmares then it's all in slow motion for at least a few seconds.

Swiping the screen to quickly scroll from one area to another is mostly a thing of the past. This means I'm more likely to accidentally tap on a building or a person I don't want to tap on. And makes chasing formless terrors annoying.

I'd gladly take some lag right now.... getting the server unavailable screen for the last 7 hours, so an accessible town and lag would be preferable :(

Lag on my iPad Air is pretty terrible

im not lagging, but compared to KL im super slow^^

I notice that it lags sometimes pretty badly when I am visiting my neighbours collecting FP points.

I play on an iPad Mini 2 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2015.

For general game play:

I can sometimes zip across town on the Samsung, but forget it on the iPad - drag, drag, drag from one side of town to the other.

Both lag horribly after using the Job Manager until everyone gets where they're going.

In THOH stuff (both devices):

Tap a Nightmare or FT and the game freezes for 3 seconds, unfreezes for a second, then freezes for 3 more seconds while it collects. That's if I hit ONE. If I hit multiples it takes longer.

When I do the campfire payout it takes at least half a minute for the animation to end and the Nightmares to appear if everyone is coming out at once (mornings). During the day I stagger them in groups of 4 so it only takes about 10 seconds.

The same is true for Heights and Railyard crafting. 3 second lag on assigning to task, big time lag when I do the payouts.

This is caused by the way they've re-written the communication routines. Every time you do a crafting tap the game has to talk to the server (Zombie tapped, Brain collected, Gummie collected, Zombie tapped, Brain collected, Gummie collected, Zombie tapped, Brain collected, Gummie collected...) and every time you tap for a payout at the Campfire, Heights store, or Recycling plant it stops and reports each one individually.

And since I'm on slow a** satellite internet...

Try resetting your internet connection.

Close app.
Force close app.
Turn off device.
Turn off all internet hardware.
Wait 15 to 30 seconds.
Turn everything back on.

yeah, already done the force close/reboot device a number of times.... can't exactly shut down the internet hardware since I'm at work :mrgreen: but if it was a connection problem with the internet on my side, I'd have 400+ people complaining about it.... so right now it's just a wait-n-see.... already completed all the act 2 stuff, so not overly concerned at the moment; just a tad annoyed...

This sums it up precisely for me. Old iPhone 4s.
