Hey there Hoppereenos, just passing on through to update on something that is still in progress. That dreaded Lag Issue we are all still running into. I have been in talks with EA in regards to this since the issue hit hard after the Easter Update. Some devices have slowly resolved to a lil better, but most are just unbearable.
If you’re living in slow-mo glitch land like poor Homie, hang in there, they are WELL aware of the issue and have responded…in a way.
[ISSUE] TSTO Decreased Frame Rate (Lag) Issue After 4.8.1 Update
Some players may be experiencing an issue with decreasing frame rates after the 4.8.1 update. The decreased frame rate issue may cause the application’s display to lag when scrolling and in rare cases cause a crash.
We appreciate your patience. Our team is working to have a solution very soon. Please note the frame rate issue will be improved by the small update just released on 5/16/14.
We will continue to provide updates as our team works on resolving this issue. Our thanks.
UPDATE HIT SHORTLY AFTER I GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THEM AND POSTED THIS!! LOL.
So one of the many fixes they are trying to push through hit not long after I got done talking with EA. So far, only Android devices via Google Play Market. So go update it if you have not already and let us know if any changes.
I know how terribly frustrating this is as I am experiencing it too on my GS4. Some are not able to even get into one of my towns due to it, so I am in the process of pulling it apart to lesson the amount of activity in it to help.
In the meantime, PLEASE keep contacting EA. Leave your stamp on the forums. I say this mainly due to some of you are/did miss out on Limited Time items due to the inability to play your games. If you have documentation of this, you can request compensation and to have the item placed into your town in many cases.
Hang in there. As always, I am keeping an eye out for you and not letting issues go. (I wonder when they will “ask me kindly” to stop bugging them. Lol.)
Til Next Time…
