Lag During Events Is Making Android Game Almost Unplayable

[copernicus]

I know this has been reported previously but things seem to be getting worse, not improving. With raid boss on, I am finding it next to impossible to even collect and bank my cash not to mention hitting the boss (always server connection problems). Not doing LTQ because lag is so bad.

Wouldn't it make business sense for Gree to address these problems?

I agree, it is well nigh unplayable when it lags, which is often. I found it helps to reinstall the game

[copernicus]

Thanks Ciara. Will give that a try

I also found that clearing cache on everything and restarting phone seems to help me out with the lag issue as well, but at the same time it gets annoying to have to constantly do it multiple times a day.

Reinstalling game seems to remove some of the lag. It does sound like only a temporary fix. Will report back shortly

i had such terrible lag on my RAZR 4 months ago that i almost quit. i had never uninstalled-reinstalled game, ever. someone suggested i do so. i did and the improvement was very noticeable.

now i've had to do it again this raid boss event, but it made the game MUCH LESS glitchy.

i would suggest uninstalling, then rebooting phone. then reinstalling game.

Bull**** of crime city full of lags allways during rb they can close that crap game if thy didn't to reslove problems .

Going into the game settings and turning all the options off also improved things for me.

So far still good. I am able to collect, donate and bank cash again. Less lag with raid boss also. I recommend what many have suggested: do a clean uninstall and reinstall cc. You won't lose your profile and the game is at least playable in the short term. Was told to repeat this prior to every raid boss.

Have to reinstall at least 3 times on android during RB... Never had any problems on iOS with my main acc

[copernicus]

Yeah lag is not as bad on IOS

Update: Two days following fresh re-install on Android, I am experiencing symptoms of lag again. About 33% of worst case scenario (prior to re-install). Device is HTC Amaze.

If you want cc to run smoothly on Android, it looks like it is worthwhile to uninstall and reinstall cc at least twice during every major event, especially raid boss.

Another poster mentioned switching off all the "special effects" like weather FX, parallax, etc. I do that as well to reduce lag.

I just cleared my data and simsalabim : no more lagg
