Simcity buildit keeps crashing on startup

★★★★★ Novice

Hi there

My Simcity buildit keeps crashing on startup. I restarted the ipad with no effect. This is an ipad 2 with the latest system update. I don't want to uninstall the game since I'd loose the money I've spent on it for sure.

Help from EA required.

Hi all

 

finally found the solution to my Ipad 2/Sim City buildit problem on the EA servers (just cannot find the solution post anymore). I applied it and it's been working just fine so far: switch off the background app refresh (actualisation en arrière plan in french). Especially on memory voracious apps like youtube or so...

 

Hope this will help some of you.

 

(there is an update to my problem, what I say in these lines is no longer valid)

Same issue here on a Ipad2.... Did not connect to Facebook, so I will lose all progress and money (real) spent? 

Please advise!

I have had this issue for three days now and this morning for the first time I received a system dialogue box that said "hi mayor, there was an error connecting to the server." With a quit button below it. At least it didn't crash. Maybe there is a data corruption sync issue going on, I find it hard to believe that all these people all at once started to get this load-crash issue at different stages of the game without there being a server issue involved some how. Hopefully a mod will read this thread and try to give us advise other than delete the game and reinstall because you should have logged in with Facebook or manually connected through the Game Center. We need a different option - why doesn't it just keep crashing the same way if it were a device issue?
