    Sorry, not that I've noticed. Only seems to disconnect from server after leaving towns, and not gotten any full crashes lately.

    I hold my breath every time my game crashes, but so far I have been lucky and haven't lost anything. Not even the biggest cash payout from Channel 6 just this morning.

    I haven't done any huge egg drop for any of my neighbors, though. I do 30-50 at a time. In my own town, I have whacked about 200 at once, then crashed while letting the snakes & eggs auto-collect. I didn't lose any.

    Hmmm....maybe it's the large amounts causing the loss. I just hate that my neighbor who could have used the extra 100 eggs didn't get them because of the crash.

    I always crash while collecting snakes from neighbours, but haven't lost any yet. However, since these threads I restart the app before I begin trading with my egg buddy.

    I can crash whilst collecting but still haven't lost eggs. Maybe your neighbour wants 100 extra eggs for free :D

    I had just finished writing thank you + a smiley in a neighbour's town, when the game crashed. When I reentered, the smiley was gone :(

    i had a imilar thing happen. i was giving 200 eggs and game crashed about 130 heni logged back in it looked like 30-50 eggs had been erased from crash so i put about 120 down to make it fair on both sides and when we pmed each other to mention we were done, the other person said they received about 25 extras

    so i dunno.. guess it depends on what server has synces already?

    It looks like it's the larger egg drops causing this....

    However, I had made a big heart in my son's town and put my initial in it. It wasn't even 100 eggs. I left my game, went to his device to whack snakes for him since he was at school. The heart was not there! I went back to my device and checked and the eggs were deducted but when I visited his town? The heart was gone.

    Lost around 50 eggs that time.

    Not sure what can even be done about this? Other than to remind people to synch often and to leave their game after 15 minutes of playing and then go back into it?

    I've been disconnected during egg drops, but they always come back to my inventory, and I can just re-drop any that hadn't synced yet.

    So what's worse, losing snakes or eggs? Apparently we can't have our cake and eat it, too

    Every day this happens to me. I have two people that I trade eggs with and I'm dangerously close to not being able to anymore because I've lost hundreds of eggs while placing eggs so I'm completely out of "extra" eggs. The server reset happens ever 5 mins or so for me

    Hmm. I don't know why, but I posted the following as a new topic, but it got deleted.... (EDIT: ok I see it got merged).

    I investigated the "connection to server" error with a stopwatch in hands. It appears to happen 20 minutes after I load the game, and I was able to reproduce this 3 times (20 minutes each time, plus a few seconds because of reaction time and time to load). It may be that you have to visit a neighbor at least once. I am running the game on iOS. Anyone wants to try reproducing this?

    Happen to me too. Traded 100 eggs with a friend. I drop 100, my game crash and he said he only received 77 of them. I traded eggs easily over 10 times and now this happens. Atleast I only lost 23, but this is an issue.
