Very frustrating. I can't visit other towns anymore without being booted off the server.

With 100 friends, I swear I'm not exaggerating when I say that I will be disconnected at LEAST 10 times and often more. With the time it takes to reconnect, get back into neighbor mode etc. it can take more than half an hour to visit everyone, just for a few dollars.

I know visiting neighbors is important for the social aspect of this game and I honestly do enjoy having people look at my town and looking at the towns of my friends. But if this keeps up, the game will be literally unplayable.

Edit: at its worst, such as right now, it will disconnect me after visiting just ONE or TWO Springfields...how am I supposed to play the game like this??? I REALLY wish EA would address this. There are several other instances in the game where being booted occurs much more than usual. For instance, gaining several levels at once. But nowhere else so fundamental and disruptive to the basic gameplay.

    Ulra - you've been added :) Let me know what you think! I'll come visit you as well.


    lol, and right on cue, the first time I try to visit your Springfield, I get kicked off...
  • I tend to avoid neighbour visits during an event as I find the game far less stable and many more neighbour problems whilst the event is taking place compared to when nothing new is currently happening, don't know if it is to do with the update itself or that there is a greater server load during events.
  • It could be as simple as this update has caused friend visits to crash the game and may be resolved next update.
  • I can hardly wait for the Christmas event this year. I prefer the way the game looks in winter mode - with the exception of most trees being dead.
  • I wish I just had the neighbor visit glitch on it’s own. I also have the nothing to tap (apart from vandalism) .
    My own town is glitched as are most of my neighbour’s towns...it’s been happening since December at least & no fix. Don’t think it will ever be fixed ......... :s

    I thought Springfield did evergreen trees but they don't, apart from some pointy ones, the round ones are all deciduous.
    I would like evergreen trees.

    The slightly larger pointy ones from THOH a couple of years ago look great in winter, I did a mock up with Spooky Cottage and it looked really good, especially as I didn't do any planning, just placed stuff.

  • It seems to have gotten much better the past few days - few if any bootings. It must have been addressed in the recent update! Thanks, EA!
