Update 3.0.1 Bug

I have the same issue. It started after yesterday's in-game update. I downloaded the update from the iOS App Store today but that didn't fix it.

It doesnt crash for me but it just cant connect to the server....

Mine does not even get to the game, it will just crash in the load screen after it asks to tap to continue.

In my case, the crash comes when it says tap to continue

I have the same problem. After Lisa says something about the parade the game crashes and I can't get in the game and play. :(

Mine is screwed too. Someone mentioned the zombies are gone? All the people's whose does work, did you remove the cemetery's before the update?

Managed to log onto my other halls fine on my ipad so it's not that. When she's home from work ill see if mine logs in on her ipad.....

This morning when I tried to access my game (having already downloaded 3.0.1 yesterday from the app store and the Thanksgiving update after midnight last night) I got hung up at the load screen with the message "downloading update 21/26 (49.9/52.7MB)." Anyone else seeing this message? The download seems to progress (as high as 50.7MB) but then goes backwards eventually as low as 49.0 and then goes back up. I've been stuck in this situation for about two hours now. I've uninstalled the game and reinstalled, I've done a soft reset of my iPhone and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Problem is still occuring. Now i just get "Cant connect to the server".

My other half reckons mine works fine on her iPad. Will try it properly this afternoon. Still not working on my iPhone or iPad.
