City Storage Desync: HUD Icon Item Count is Higher Than Internal Menu Count
Hello everyone, This is regarding a Technical Issue/Bug with SimCity BuildIt seen on Android (I have no idea if it's also affecting IOS, but my guess is yes, this is most certainly a universal bug). CRITICAL/URGENT Technical Bug Report: Progressive Server-Side City Storage Inventory Count Desynchronization. Main City Storage HUD Icon Item Count is Higher Than Internal City Storage Menu Count. DEMONSTRATION 1 RIGHT: Internal Menu Counter = 477/590 (correct) Short Description: There is a persistent discrepancy between the City Storage capacity integer rendered on the primary heads-up display (HUD) icon and the actual structural inventory array calculated inside the City Storage menu. The application strictly prioritizes the faulty HUD counter to enforce maximum capacity logic, resulting in a game-breaking early lockout of item collection. Also note that the item count seen inside the Trade Depot selling menu (the one you see when you tap "Create Sale") follows the faulty HUD counter. Telemetry & Quantitative Data: City Storage HUD Icon Counter Display: 489 / 590 Internal City Storage Inventory Menu Counter Display (and Manually Verified): 477 / 590 Persistent Inventory Miscount: +12 invisible, unrendered "ghost data packets" occupying index slots. Observed Bug Behavior & Systems Impact: Progressive Memory Leak / Compounding Drift: This state desynchronization is not static. The database variance originated approximately 7 months ago with an item count error of only +3 ghost items. Over a 7-month operational window, the variance has progressively expanded to a +12 item count error. This indicates a cascading write-error on the cloud database, where specific transaction types permanently fail to decrement the total storage integer upon resource consumption. Server-Side State Persistence: Neither buying/selling items in the Trade Depot or even upgrading the City Storage capacity force a re-sync or fix this miscount. Restarting the game after clearing out the cache also didn't fix it. A complete client-side wipe was executed by uninstalling the application, purging local device caches, and reinstalling a fresh build from the storefront. Upon authenticating and downloading the cloud saved profile, the 12-item discrepancy error still persisted. This proves that the data corruption resides natively within the cloud database save-state file on the EA servers, completely independent of local hardware configurations. Critical Gameplay Block (Logic Gate Failure): The game engine utilizes the HUD display value rather than the raw inventory array to process the Storage Full boolean rule. Consequently, when the HUD counter hits 590/590, the application triggers a hard-lock on all incoming items (as the City Storage HUD icon is maxed out). This shortens my actual usable inventory capacity to 578 real items, entirely blocking me from collecting manufacturing outputs or completing commercial trades, despite having 12 empty physical grid slots (as seen inside the City Storage menu). DEMONSTRATION 2 (even tho I still have 12 empty spaces) LEFT: HUD Icon Counter = 505/505 (faulty/maxed out) RIGHT: Internal Menu Counter = 493/505 (correct) (even tho I still have 12 empty spaces) The Trade Depot "Create Sale" Selling Menu Counter follows the faulty HUD Icon Counter I have already attempted to resolve this through the in-game Customer Service portal and the EA Help Mobile Support, however nothing has been fixed and the issue still persists. URGENT REQUEST: Because this inventory miscount is progressive and actively shrinking my gameplay capacity every few weeks, I am escalating this here so it can be routed directly to a SimCity BuildIt Game Developer, Software Engineer, or Account Database Specialist to fix this issue. I have also attached the screenshots that show this error/bug. Any help would be appreciated.396Views2likes3CommentsSimCity

I have seen people mad that they have to watch ads. I have seen people mad their COM points aren't working. My specific aggravation is a combo of both. It gives me the option to watch an ad (whether its for the export row, to get seasonal coins, or something else). I watch the ad fully. I do not click out. But it doesn't give me the reward. The export row does NOT refresh and only gives me the option to pay the SIM cash to clear it. Or it does not give me the seasonal coins. It counts the ad as one of my 2 ads towards the com task, but does not give me the coins. Does not refresh the export rows. The fact that I can't easily communicate this problem with someone who can help is even more infuriating.27Views1like0CommentsAnnoying following helicopters drones

I am not gaining any CoM points (green plumbobs) towards my CoM rank at all. They're adding in when I look at my clubs scores, and I'm also on the leadership board, they're showing there, however im stuck at the CoM level 50, not gaining anything. Ive reached out to customer support and their response was, "ya that sucks, you should post this on the EA forum. Maybe an expert will see it".. Ive provided screenshot and videos to them, and they said they see the issue on the recording but can't recreate the problem on their end.Solved545Views0likes8Comments- 25Views0likes0Comments
BUG: Water light blue
Water is showing lighter blue than the usual dark blue. Looks super odd. iPadOS latest version, game latest version as well and it’s not only my city but also other I travel. Anyone with a fix here? I have raised a ticket to the support as well but not seeing any improvement!61Views1like2Comments
