Wont load. Stuck on "checking for updates"

[Hephisto8I]

hi Arrenai,

yes, clearing cache and data was the same "troubleshooting" that was performed yesterday.  I have don't this yet again just now and am still stuck ad checking for updates.  I was able to get in eventually this morning after about 30 minutes of load time, but it alternates between that and loading so long it says the client needs to restart, which takes another 30 minutes.

Hi @Apollos90125 , if the troubleshooting steps haven't helped, you might have a bug on your hands. Please create a bug report here, they help flag potential bugs and ask for more information to hep investigations along.

@EA_Arrenai  and @EA_Lanna I've tried this suggested solution on both my devices and it still doesn't work. The game worked for about 20 minutes late last evening (before I tried this suggestion) and now today, it's the same thing as the other day. The issue still persists.

same issue for me.  Running on Wifi, using a Galaxy tab S3.  North America Region, US.

The same issue as well, but I'm using a Samsung Chromebook Plus and an LG LML212VL Smartphone.

@Hartreq I sent off an e-mail yesterday. No response. After calling tech support (which was undoubtedly outsourced to somewhere not in the USA), I was placed on hold for 15 minutes. I was then told I'd receive an "email" and that my case had been escalated.

Look, I've spent hundreds of dollars on this game in the year I've been playing. Now it doesn't even work. I've been a dedicated player each day (most days) for a year. Now I'm missing out on events, guild activities and lagging behind in progression.

Just chalk me up a refund for everything. I'm done with the game.

@Hartreq When this happened to me, what helped load the game was using my phone's internet and not my home wifi.

Hi all and sorry to hear that.

Sometimes the loading time can be longer than usual (see the official announcement HERE). If the game won't load at all, try switching from WiFi to cellular and vice versa and make sure you have a strong and stable internet connection.

Clearing cache and reinstalling the game freshly can also help to resolve the issue. More troubleshooting steps can be found HERE and HERE.

I tried that on my own, and on two separate calls with Tech Support.  This is still an issue, and I'm not alone in that.  Please reach out to me with a real effort to resolve this rather than canned answers that are already posted on your forums.  Thank you!
