Yeah. I'm convinced there is a bug in the code for determining if a town is full of Feds. If I get to a town where I can't drop Feds I just tap one house and move on. Then I'll come back later and see if I can drop Feds. Usually I can if it's been a few hours. I've been having an issue where I'll drop three Feds in a town and as I try to leave that SF the game crashes. It'll happen over and over again with the same SF. I can skip it and all the others are fine. The thing is, it's not the same SF each time I do my rounds but there is always one that crashes it and for that round whichever SF it is will always crash the game. Next day that town is fine but another SF start crashing it.

I agree with barszap, I think there are issues with notifications and feds actually appearing. Friends that always sent 3 feds have started tapping 1-2 houses in my town. I also notice that when I visit towns with "max feds" I get a lot of lag. I suspect that when my town has a lot of lag I am actually maxed but not receiving notification or a false message that my town has been cleared (most I've ever tapped is 9 feds in my town).Sometimes synching helps "missing" feds appear, sometimes exiting app does as well. However there are times when nothing I do will help me find the feds.

Next day that town is fine but another SF start crashing it. I have a friend issue that's similar (started yesterday after the update that addressed Flanders house, always the same town) There's one town that the game won't let me access (donut just freezes, I've tried going a to z, going z to a, attempting it as the first one I've visited, going to the town's KLand (which works but when I try to go to main town it freezes on the shuttle...I know the town has Xmas content as they have 5000 plus presents....I honestly don't know (I've tried uninstalling reinstalling but I won't know if that works until tomorrow.

For me they have been working fine. Hopefully I wont run into these problems later since it hurts your neighbors and not yourself since you can always tap on the houses.

Too many Feds in most towns, and then eventually you stop getting pressies, whats the point :?

Is it just me or placing Feds on friends towns are getting harder and harder to do?

Well, you still get money, and all that will add up quickly, if you go through your entire list. Also, if you're done getting Friend Points, you have a chance to earn donuts. MMmmmm premium currency.... :)

It's getting harder to drop feds in people's towns because I'm assuming most daily players have finally reached the point where they can start dropping them.

As for the crashing, I have had one or two neighbours where it repeatedly freezes and then the game exits on it's own, I just go back in until I've dropped all the feds and then continue on.

Lastly, it's sort of frustrating that I leave feds in every town (unless it's full) and people will come into my town while I'm playing and just tap houses instead of leaving feds. It's obviously not overcrowded cause I've tapped them all but I guess people don't want to return the favour.

I'm getting less an less feds each day. Overnight just gone I didn't get any. Doesn't make sense.

How many Feds is "too many" Feds? I am wondering whether this recurring message is randomly generated, or if it really does mean I should delete these inactive players.

20 Feds is the limit so your neighbours mightn't be inactive just sleeping/working. But if they seem always to be full check when they last played.

This. I logged in this morning and there was not one single Fed in my town but plenty of handshakes :shock:

I don't seem to have any problems either. I can drop feds on at least 3/4 of my neighbors and the ones I can't seem to have plenty of feds wondering around which confirms that they're full. I get plenty dropped on me but still get some handshakes for whatever reason even if I'm not full.

With all the complaints I'm sure there is a glitch for some and that is pretty normal during events. Only thing to do is complain to EA and hope they either fix it or compensate you in some way.

There surely is a glitch, for some. I constantly run into neighbours dropping handshakes despite having only three Feds and once tapped, I get confirmation there's no more, for now. Possibly there is a lag between Feds being dropped and actually being seen... In between the game goes confused and just says there's too many Feds. The most Feds I've ever had at once is 8, 3 neighbours with one also tapping a house.... That was while I was online and the siren sounded but I kept playing and started looking for them about 15 minutes later.

Dunno. All I know is overall this is a great Christmas update. Admittedly, I am getting annoyed with several daily constant crashes when trying to visit neighbours (but I almost always get to visit every neighbour daily, just takes forEVER...), and knowing there's something wrong with the fed counter thingie.

I am also seeing most neighbors tapping houses, etc. instead of dropping Feds. I was wondering why they would do this when I had zero feds in my town. A glitch would explain it. I would say that about half the time I visit neighbors it says they are full of feds. Now, I wonder if this is actually true. Hope EA is looking into this issue.
