PSA: if having severe lag, disconnect the injury 500 tracks

The lag is caused because of your device. It is not caused by the track

It's slow because I think the game just got much bigger I think. What device are you playing on?

Top of the line Samsung Tablet with 3 GB free storage and 1.6 GB free RAM..... I still have massive lag when trying to unselect group, sell items (KEM farming), etc......

I'm sorry but that does not sound top of the line. Is the simpsons the only app you can have :open_mouth: the S8 has 4GB of RAM and 50GB storage for a little perspective. The top of the line would be a Tab S3. And the Note 9 is going to pack 6GB of RAM

To have to have TSTO as the ONLY app installed on a device is ridiculous. I even uninstalled several old apps and have 4GB free, same lag issue.

I am very tech savvy. You are comparing cell phones to tablets which is not straight apples to apples and comparing to devices till pending release for another 3 months in the future. As time moves on hardware is a factor, but high end devices one generation old (i.e. GalaxyS8 / Tab S2 / etc...) are still more powerful than 80-90% of what is offered brand new on market right now.

On my Tab S2, I Never experienced any lag issues May 29th, TSTO updates and massive lag (literally over 3-4 minutes waiting for response) with group selections on May 30th. I know that land was expanded (which I have a LONG ways to go to get all of it).

But this points to strong probability of optimization that was lost or needed to be optimized by EA with group selection from this update unless EA expects all users to buy sell their one generation old devices and pay $500 to $1200 for a new top of the line just release device or one still pending to be released months from now.

I'm trying to understand the solution to this lag problem. Finding Maggie is impossible because I cannot scroll through my town. The lag has gotten worse since act 3 of the current event started. If the problem is with the new I&Sland rides, then is EA fixing it? This rapid game expansion came with problems. Trying to scroll through my town is impossible.

The solution is simple, and stated dozens of times in this thread. Disconnect a race track piece to stop the animation. It works as dozens have said. If the log ride or roller coaster cause you the same issue, do the same.

Is EA working on the problem? Well it has previously been posted that there is a "turn off animation" text in the code and it is expected that perhaps in the takedown we will get this feature.

The game has expanded and many devices do not possess the processor power and ram to avoid the lag. My Galaxy S5 can not be used with any of the rides connected , my S7 has them all flying and no lag. When you buy a game there are minimum hardware requirements for it to run at full speed on everything. If you don't meet the specs you have to downgrade the settings to fix it. Consider disconnecting the tracks as the same. It solves the issue and you continue using the game.

If the game survives long enough we will eventually reach the point that many devices will be left behind. This game seems to like lots of free space and lots of ram.

Every expansion comes with issues. Think about it. If you design a game for a certain console, every user has the same hardware, and you solve the issues and all is well. These games work on tons of different hardware, processors, ram, operating systems. There will be issues. They almost always get fixed, and the great people here find work-arounds in the interim.

Yeah, is not the device; is the game.

Of course, those are not mutually exclusive possibilities.

yes, didn't work.

You have KL tourists in your SF?
That sound like a bug to me. But who can be sure yet.

I'm not updating until i get 3000 more tickets to buy the last land square. I haven't yet read it's safe to update.

I placed the KL entrance in my town and can't store it. Am thinking this might have released the KL tourists everywhere.

I have the same problem. I put down some kl paths to see if they're attracted to it. At the very least it might keep them in one place.

Did you place the old KL entrance where you can exchange KL tickets for cash?

You typically cannot store event-critical content.

Am not talking about the event one i.e. I&S entrance. I'm referring to the old KL entrance for KL that went into storage.

Gotcha. My bad.

I can't transport to krustyland
