Graphical glitches in SCBI - Pink Pixelated Frozen Screen
The game has severe graphical glitches. The background shows black and pink checkerboard patterns, and most of the buildings and structures appear completely white, losing all textures. Some menus and icons still display normally, but the overall screen looks broken, as if the textures failed to load. Every time this happens, I have to close and reopen the game to continue playing, but after only a few minutes the issue comes back. This occurred many times today, making the game nearly unplayable. My phone is an iPhone 11, and it still has plenty of storage space. This issue kept happening repeatedly throughout yesterday. [CM - Edited title for clarity]Moved to a different server
I have been part of the same war club for 4/5 years and mid way through our last war I was removed for no reason. I searched for my old club and they didn’t appear, most of the clubs in the search had 1 or 2 members… the game just wasn’t the same. Apparently I’ve been changed to a different server, happens with cheats apparently- but I’ve never cheated and never would. i can’t get in touch with EA other than with a bot, how can I get back to the original server and to my old are groups
Grid glitch. Screen freeze.
Playing on iPad 8th Gen running on iPadOS 26.4. This glitch is not allowing me to play the game. It appears every time I enter build mode. The screen freezes with it. It’s been awhile. Had software and game updates and it’s still here. Idk, what to do anymore. Help pls. Thank you.
World trade market issues
Yesterday I logged in to the game and my global trade market has only about 8-10 users selling vegetables and chairs and nothing else. My items are not selling and no one is buying them. I contacted support but haven’t got any reply yet. Most of those users has Asian symbols in city names. Maybe I got sent to an abandoned server or smt? I have no idea, please help if someone got this issue too right now or before.
iPhone/iPad
So, after a whole lot of discussions and research... Depending on your device... A-Series / M-Series The software conflict between SimCity Buildit and iOS is likely miscommunication between the game and iOS 18 - 26.3 updates between March 2025 - February 11, 2026. Specifically, a conflict with the Metal Graphics API released by Apple. Without a step-by-step approach to troubleshooting... Well... You may be waiting for a solution. Or, reluctant to try every suggestion because for whatever reason this is the only app overheating and malfunctioning on your device. Why? VRAM is exhausted. Disable Game Mode Settings--> General --> Background Apps Refresh... If on, Turn off Settings --> General --> iPad Storage --> SimCity Buildit --> Offload App / Reinstall on Same page. Have 2-15 GB free storage for working memory. Hard Restart / force restart... Do not shutdown. Volume Up, Volume Down, hold power button. Then, Consider experimentation with Liquid Glass, any other Display/Resolution, battery optimizers/low power mode and accessibility settings. Then, let me know.
