Is anyone else having difficulties signing in lately? The last few weeks, I get a server error every time I try to sign in. When I hit Retry, it works, but it is just so weird. I have also found it very laggy and have had a lot of crashing. I haven’t finished the July 4th quest line because of it. ---

I have the exact same issue on my iPad on my home wifi, but have no problems at all with my phone, both at home and on cellular. iOS on both. ---

Yeah, I get the error probably every time I start it up and then it works OK after that. ---

I like when the game gets glitchy. If it’s wide-spread enough, we get donuts! 🙂 ---

Good to know it’s not just me. Maybe that means EA will work on fixing it. 😃 ---

No leaks or hints from EA itself, but some people are thinking there will be an update tomorrow (Wednesday), as the pattern of updates would indicate it would be the day. I wouldn’t log in every 5 minutes, but I would suggest checking after noon PDT if you were otherwise inclined to skip a day. ---

I’ve heard that players in Ogdenville, North Haverbrook, and Brockway have already gotten the update. ---

Looks like the update is for a “yard sale” of sorts - older items are for sale once again. ---

Yep, plus a new item for Marge. The mayan costume for her, which apparently they never released but always had. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-simpsons-tapped-out/643231.md?page=169) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-simpsons-tapped-out/643231.md?page=171)
