Hey there Hoppereenos!
Got to love the weekend changes. So much for us Addicts attempting to take the day off, huh? Lol.
I just got back into a service area and am going through to try and pick out all the new changes. I will Update here as I can.
NEGATIVE TASKS
It looks like the -xx issue many of us had is now resolved and the tasks should be working properly again. So those that were stuck should be able to progress normally again.
If you are STILL having this issue, try to restart your device and check App Market to ensure you are fully updated. Then contact EA if still issues.
BRANDINE BIRTHING
Lots of reports from Players that a New Spuckler just joined the game for them. So check to see if you also got yours in your game. (You may have to check inventory storage in the Characters Icon Section.)
If you are STILL having this issue, try to restart your device and check App Market to ensure you are fully updated. Then contact EA if still issues.
KRUSTY STATION
We have 4 New Pieces now to add on to the Krusty Station. These are similar to the Platforms for the Main Monorail Station. They are here for a Limited Time (Less than 12days now on timer).
PLACE PROJECT BOARD GLITCH
As this glitch did not impact me personally, I am flying blind on that one. For those that had the issue that you could NOT place the Project Board as the “DO IT” Option never even showed up for you, please let us know if this helped to patch the issue. If not, I need to bug EA some more. 😉
CRASHING/LAGGING
I have placed this all over in the comments as well as noted on it since… well… for as long as I can remember, but with this Event there is an additional cause.
Memory Drain. It is a big issue in highly outside animated Events. This is why keeping 4500 items in game helps among other things. Help your device when this hits really hard, like this Event.
- Disable Monorail. Pull the track pieces away from the station to prevent it from moving around your game or when Neighbors Visit.
- Store NPC’S and any other animated items not in use.
- Don’t push the 4500 limit. If you do, expect the game to slow and more “texture” glitches to name a few things
- Keep non essential Characters on indoor tasks or store them in your inventory.
- Play ONLY this App. In other words kill all other Apps that are running BEFORE launching this one. Anything in the background while this is going (Facebook, SnapChat, Twitter, etc) will take Memory away from the app as they fight over the availability.
- Give it space, LOTS of space. Like 2-3GB of empty space on your device. Insane I know, but highly active Events take a lot.
- Run on highest stable internet connection as possible. WiFi usually works best, and also doesn’t wipe out your Data Plan
Remember, if you are having trouble getting in your game… so might your neighbors. Memory Drain impacts more than just you. So help you and your Neighbors or they may not visit if your town crashes their game each time.
Outside of that. EA knows how big this one is pulling on the Memory Drain. Hopefully they can make some cuts to help combat it too. Until then, try the tips to see if it helps. In the meantime, keep reporting to EA the Crash Issues.
There you have it. Some additions to this really cool Event, some patches, and some Spucklers. Lol.
What do you think of the New Items? Are you going to splurge the Pink Sprinklies? How about the Patches? Did it help the issues you ran into?
