That sucks, if you have a decent PC you could run Tapped Out in the Bluestacks android emulator (recommend at least 8GB RAM / Quad core CPU).

Also there should be a way to update the OS on your Samsung tablet even if it means installing a custom ROM, It's unfortunate Samsung always stops updating older devices even when they're perfectly capable of running a newer OS.

The oldest device I have here is a Samsung Note 2 w/ 4.4.2 KitKat and Tapped Out is running on it without any issues.

FYI Bluestacks is unauthorized by EA. As such it is against the rules to mention it on the open forum.
@dgsmobile4152 Make sure that youhave enough space on your device. May be as much as 5 gigs needed to be free.
Make sure your device OS is updated and clear your cache. Maybe a clean install would help, if you are not anonymous.
If it still won't work, contact EA and let them know what devices you are unable to get it to load on.

Another player has stated they cannot play after the patch in this thread:

Ya its finally working for me, on Bluestacks 4. I got to use hundreds of donuts to catch up and get everything. Since it ends in 2 weeks.

PS. I am glad they brought back the colored fences! Gonna buy hundreds of them before the event is over!

please stop talking about unsupported against the rules way to play the game thanks

How do I get Baby Bart? I unlocked Baby Lisa and finished her quest, but now I have no event tasks left.

once act 4 start next week

Unfortunately it's only an 8Gig tablet, with a standard Samsung rom. The best I can get on a factory reset, clean boot, is 4Gig free.

I have updated on play store and I still have the same problem as 2 weeks ago. Does anyone know if this is going to be fixed for those of us who still can't play please?

@pen21vat If you are not playing anonymously, you might try a uninstall, clear cache, reinstall. Do not play until it is fully done downloading, even though it says you can. Also reboot your router/wifi.
If it still doesn't work for you, you will need to contact EA so they know it is still happening on some devices.
