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.
Thank you Willy9292. While I proceeded to disconnect the rides to improve performance, you appear to have writtena dissertation to 'splain again what was written "dozens of times". I got it the first time. Did not need the attitude.

and thats the main reason they wont release on Windows Phone or pc. too many thing to account for and milion different devices
Same! Since yesterday I can't move around the city collecting money because it's too slow and I get stuck. Is insufferable to be honest. I uninstalled and reinstalled it but nothing. This event has been a pain in the ****
I have a number of characters roaming in my SF that are untappable and can't be selected with the character finder either. They seem to be KL tourists as my town is clear from currency earning ones.
Anyone else having severe lag? I've disabled mono rail and no help at all.
EDIT: I've placed the old KL entrance (where you can exchange tickets for cash). Let me know if you have and if you have KL tourists in your town. The PSA might be to not place the entrance from storage...
EDIT 2: disconnecting the injury 500 tracks restores game to playable state. I also rotated the curved pieces to disable animation.
Note that I tried all the following and did not have success: disconnect monorail, store NPCs and characters on outdoor tasks, reinstalled, cleaned device from extra apps etc.
Yeah, is not the device; is the game. I actually restored my phone to its original state. Erased everything but nothing improved
Disconnected the tracks and is okay now
My town has been so slow since the itchy scratchy update I've read The Forum and it really does work just disconnecting the racetrack I couldn't even move through my town this was the first time in probably three-and-a-half 4 weeks that I've been able to move freely through my town I spun a piece of the racetrack a piece of the log flume and a piece of the roller coaster it's still a little laggy but it's a hundred times better cuz the only way I used to be able to move through my town was by clicking on the people up in the corner or on the buildings

Of course, those are not mutually exclusive possibilities.
