terrible lag since update

If you remove some of your decorations, it will make your game work better. Also, I found it best to collect from all the houses first. The less stuff you have on the screen the better.

Thanks for the advice but the game was absolutely fine before the update, little to no lag at all. There's always a small amount of lag here and there but not like this. They need to fix this and fast. It's starting to make my brain hurt.

What update?

They wont fix it. You will either have to remove some items from your town, get a device with a faster processor i.e. a tablet, or maybe play during the down times like early morning.

Its not our devices. I'm playing on a rooted tablet that worked just fine a half hour before the update. I know the game has to process all the decorations but when my town was fine before update I don't know what's wrong.

Same here, I know it's not my device as I'm playing on a Nexus 7 and it was FINE before the update and I'm nowhere near the item limit.

Just checked in on my town and the lag seems to stop and start randomly, I thought it might be to do with people visiting but nothing's been haunted... weird. It's playable though so I guess that's something.

Went to a friend's town and it was like watching a movie from the 1930's
15 frames per second at best. That was sad.

Lag is unbearable since start of event, storing stuff daily, to little avail.

I've been searching all over the internet about this flipping update. This awful lag happened just after the update so they broke something for sure.

It does work a little faster on my Nexus but on the iPad it moves in slow motion. It is playable but highly frustrating that I put it away. I can take a little random lag here and there because I have purchased all the land but this is ridiculous. So ridiculous to the point that I am so close to stop playing altogether.

Finally!
Turns out this lag is due to a stuck character that most likely happened after the update and most likely one of the trick-or-treating kids. I my case it was Bart and Nelson. Storing the Tree and Nelson's house and placing it back up cleared the lag.

The way I found out what characters are missing is to go on "edit" mode then make houses and decorations invisible and check each character. Bart and Nelson where nowhere to be seen.

Stupid Flanders!!
