I havent had any real issues with my game (play on iOS)
The only slow bit i have is that i can no longer scroll across my town quickly anymore, it sort of goes in sections whereas before i could just flick the screen and it would zoom across
All i can suggest with your ipod touch is to see how much memory you have free and see whether you are pushing your device to the max on memory, might need reducing down a little to free up some space...maybe
lag in my town (ios) major lag visiting neighbors.
Same here! Major! It's making neighbor visits near impossible. It actually started with the monorail update. I figured it would go away with the takedown, but has gotten significantly worse with the Halloween update. Help!
Its the bunnys you know........they hate me because I tap them......with their furry little ears and jaunty bouncy gait. And dont get me started on the snakes, slithering hither and thither, taunting me and hiding! The zombies dance with pleasure, moving backwards to avoid harming the slithery snakes who wont evrn do the right thing and swallow those cute little bunnies...... and skeletons......arrrrrrgh! They StAnd theRe ratTliNg at me
But I will win........really I will ha ha haaaa....they cant escape......even slowing the game to crawl wont stop me tapping their little butts.....and then the formless wraiths.....I try to chasr thrm but they are too fast and ahyway take 3 or 4 taps to make yhem die......die.....DIE I TELL YOU.....AND THRY WILL MWWWAAAHAHA THEY WILL ALL DIE AND I WILL REIGN SUPREME,,,,,,,,! And you..... my neighbours......deliberately keeping your towns full of them wraiths just to stop me dumping them on you.....you will pay....you will all pay! And my pistman wont push lettedscright through the door and my tablet doesnt charge fast enough...... gits the bunnies draining the batteryI am sure......little rampant rabbits everywhere giving out their perverted pkeasure..... AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH,!
I can tell which neighbor is which solely by the amount of time it takes to load their town on my phone. I have one neighbor that takes a full 10 seconds every single time.
I am seriously considering storing the monorail for now and seeing if that helps. My only hesitation is that I'm scared of placing monorail tracks ever since it glitched my town.

I'm having some lag issues as well. Especially when a kid is done telling a scary story.
Same here. A whooping 1/fps when that happens.
ditto, bro
Game can't handle all those materials & enemies spawning. Its been happening to me since after the Monorail update, after crafting Heights items
I have had the same issue. Can't even do neighbor visits as there is not enough time in the day! I have not been able to use my iPhone. iPad also having issues but not quite as bad. Talking with support to see if there can be some resolution.
Maybe it's my fault for using an "old" device (iPad 3rd Gen) or for not having many gigs of free space on the device. But the game stood up well during monorail/recycling.
- like those above, tapping out the campfire slows everything down to like 1fps
- quickly smoothly scrolling from one area to another is impossible now
- related, just dropping 10 of the Formless things in someone's town can take nearly a minute due to all the slow scrolling.
- noticing a Formless thing in my town can be frustrating because they'll be some lag and I try to scroll or something and there's lag or I'll mistakenly bring up a building dialog box, etc. while watching the Formless scurry away.
- the IRS radius is nice, but if a bunch of cash/currency is flying around the screen I know I now have to take a break of several seconds and wait for everything to be collected
- the Job Manager was very useful and helped me ignore some lag (from assigning tasks). Taking it away from us during this event (and all events?!) is like giving us a flip phone after we've been using the new iPhone for a few weeks.
The snappiness is gone. I keep playing because I can't resist (for now), but I now associate the game with lag.
(totally unrelated: I still do the rail yard, usually getting the 70000 in a little under three days. This week nearly every Hand In during the last 25,000 or so has involved Plastics. It's driving me bonkers.)

I have to agree with most of what you said. Especially the last few points. I was actually just thinking that my game was lagging somewhat before, but the job manager enabled me to ignore or and work around it. Now that I have to assign all of the characters individually it really slows me down. Since I was also noticing the game stopping after using the IRS function, I thought that clearing my town would actually help some. But that has not seemed to help with the scrolling at all. I hope there is some kind of update that can be released, because it is also preventing me from keeping on track.
Agreed. The lag has gotten worse and worse with each event. Not sure what's causing it, but something is making things slow and bloated, and they seem to just accept it and build more upon the same bloated foundation.
I know there is a function called something-overlay in the code that first appeared with the **** event that was used to render smoking buildings. They've been using it more and more, e.g., with the stadium lights, and more recently with the Monorail track pieces. I suspect it is part of the problem.
The lag with materials tasks is just as infurating. Things started getting unacceptable with Springfield Heights. I just can't stand it anymore.
I can tell which neighbor is which solely by the amount of time it takes to load their town on my phone. I have one neighbor that takes a full 10 seconds every single time.

Def do it. I had also stored about 1/3 of my characters for awhile, and it seemed to help, but I took them out once we got the send all button. I might store them again.

On Android you can do that from your settings menu -> Applications -> Tapped Out
For iOS your only option is to force close the game and restart your device.

Loading is very slow, although game play is fine. It takes forever (or so it seems) to go from one neighbor to another.

This may be the greatest post I have ever seen on this forum
Good god!.. Get your spelling right.
I am pretty sure you spell it perveriktive!
Thanks.. We need more posts like this!
