Anyone else getting this flashing? It keeps doing this and my player gets stuck.

It looks like your kingdom exploded! Are you storing any dynamite? Have you seen a guy with a pointy beard lurking in the basement of your Parliment building? Do you have any enemies?

It doesn't look like the Big Sparkles, so I'm stumped, unless you're building a secret fireworks factory...

Queenzod, I wish it were a secret firew
It happens all of the time and sometimes I get purple rolling smoke as well. I guess it's just a bug but I didn't know if anyone else was experiencing it as well

Man! I hit reply and it erased half of what I said....
Anyway....
Queenzod I wish it were a secret fireworks factory because that would be fun, but I guess I'll just have to settle for my kingdom looking like I threw some TNT at it.

What actions are causing these flashes in your Kingdom? When you say your "player gets stuck", do you mean your game freezes? Please give us more info, thanks!

Uh, when I'm collecting from buildings or when I'm doing really any action that involves my player moving from one place to another. She just starts running in place and the flashing starts also big purple rolling smoke clouds.

This pretty much happens on a daily basis at first I thought something awesome was going to happen like a quest because it does look pretty cool but I've found it to get a bit annoying lately.

Does the flashing sort of grow while syncing?

Like when you click a coin/resource building that's sparkling, your character runs towards it, and your game syncs with TL servers, then a lot of the sparkles just get brighter until the sync completes?

When this happens, are you connected with your phone's data plan or via wi-fi?

I'm kind of spitballing the above because I've noticed something similar when I play, but only to a much, much milder degree.

No it just keeps flashing like you see in the picture. Then stops suddenly when my player decides she wants to stop running in place.

I've had that happen to me several times but lately.
It's really spectacular when it happens. Couldn't tell you what I was doing at the time though since it hasn't happened in a while.
First time it happened to me I thought something sensational had occurred.

Me too! I thought something awesome was going to happen. But alas nothing happened just more flashing.

What device are you all playing on? Would that make a difference? I'm on an iPad and have never seen this. Wah! I want purple smoke too! :)

I'm playing on an iPhone. Not sure that would make any difference.

If the flashing happens again with purple smoke I'll try to get a picture again. It is pretty cool. But at the same time I'm sure that's not supposed to happen lol.

I thought it a phone issue, I was proven wrong. I had that happen the other day, I thought Harry Potter was popping by to say hello.

Glad to see I'm not alone... It hasn't happened since I put this post up, but before that it was happening pretty much on a daily basis.

I know this had been brought up before but it's been a while since its been mentioned/possibly seen. I've now also seen a similar occurrence in dragon story. Anyone else had this happen lately?

This use to happen to me the day before every update but has only happened once since TL started to regularly update. I'm never fast enough to catch it. Also I have the smaller flashing stars over specific areas once in awhile which are different from this one. I think those are the faeries breaking out of their jars and flying away before we can melt anymore. Go faeries Go!

It still happens all of the time to me. I've already reported it... Guess they haven't found a way to fix.
