45 seconds are a very long startup time for a mobile app. Did that really never bother you? Your comparison with booting a PC points out exactly the design flaw: Booting a whole operating system is obviously a much bigger task than loading such a game. Would you accept it if any other app needed as long to start, let's say Google maps (for comparison with the Springfield map)?
Reading that pending friend requests slow down the login process in such a significant way sounds ridiculous to me. Is there anything to be done with pending(!) friends outside the manage friends screen in the Origin section?
TSTO has so much potential for optimizations. And that's exactly what I'm asking for.
To be honest, it never bothered me. In fact, I never considered the time it takes until I saw your thread. Also, I stated just under 45 seconds, I should have been a little more specific. On average, I wait 30-45 seconds for my game to boot. I assumed a bulk of the time it takes involves logging into Origin and reading your last save in order to open the game. No matter what it is, it's not a big issue to wait 1/2 a minute. I'm afraid I don't share your anger concerning this. However, I totally agree about seeing potential and a desire to refine the game. Nothing at all wrong with wanting better.

54 is quite a lot but there was people on here who had lists of over 200 people thats where the issues really start to come into play :lol:
Log in time are mainly due to connecting to the EA Servers mainly, plus if you have a complex town it will take longer to connect or at least thats my theory ;)
Yes, I agree. Whether or not it's a mobile device or a pc, it's a computer and computer's need to read information in order to perform a task. I think my device is simply doing that.
By the way, I have deleted my friend requests though and found no difference in boot up time.

Some pc games can take a while to boot up, especially if you have extra content.
