I'm hoping someone with tech savvy can help me. I have an iPad2. I've contacted SuperCell numerous time and they have no legitimate answer. I have a problem with my Hay Day / Game Center interface. I have a major lag and lockup everytime I open my friend's bar. The first is when I initially open it. The whole game locks up for 20 - 30 seconds. While in the friends tab, if I slide the icons, I get a spin of about 10 icons, then it stops and the game locks for about 15 - 20 seconds. This keeps happening everytime I try to move down the levels to the person I'm looking for. This doesn't happen when I'm in the ? Tab, Last Helpers or followers tab. Now today I noticed something else. I went into the GC games tab to unfriendly farms that haven't had activity for 2 months or more and I noticed the last farm on my list was saying a certain farm has been inactive since August, yet I know I helped their boat 4 days ago. At this point, I don't know what to do or what tech service to contact. I didn't have this issue until Apple upgraded to 7.0. All SuperCell tells me is to close the game and restart my iPad, which doesn't solve my problem. Anyone with savvy has any ideas, I'm open to suggestion other than shoot my iPad and put it out of it misery. I've already been contemplating that idea. Thanks.
Hey Larry,
I don't know if this is especially helpful, but I have sometimes had the same issue (the first bit with the lagging in the friends tab), and I think it is due to having too many friends in my list and it takes a while to load when scrolling through them. Same thing here with it not happening in the "!" or recent helpers list, and I believe it is because those lists contain much fewer names. Mine doesn't lag for quite so long, but it does lag.
I don't know much about the GC telling you a person has been inactive when they clearly are active, but maybe GC takes a while to update those status indicators which tell us when people played last, not sure, just a thought.
I really need to clear out my GC of people who now are inactive, or people who only show up once in a blue moon. It's annoying and they're clogging up my game. I keep meaning to do this and just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Maybe something I can do this evening.
I have to say, I saw iOS 7 in beta stage (only through screenshots) and hated the look of it, and having also updated, I just hate the entire operating system. I find the entire thing MUCH slower when using my iPhone, although I'm only using a 4S, so that may be the reason there. Still, I just generally don't like it on the iPad either. I would have much preferred to stay on iOS 6.
When you restart your iPad, are you just switching it off and back on again? Or are you doing a soft reset (I think that's what it's called), where you hold the home and power key down together until your screen goes black and then wait for the apple to appear on screen, then release the buttons? Sometimes that helps.. but no guarantee. Just a suggestion..
Sorry not much help here, just some things I've tried and can relate to..
