Device Performance Issues
Some older devices may have trouble keeping up with the game.

• Clear cache - go to Safari in Settings app on iOS device and click [Clear History and Website Data]
• Check that you have sufficient space on your device. Try deleting some unused apps/photos/videos etc if you don't.
• Store away some (if not all) animated decorations on your farm
• Avoid running other apps in the background
• Let your game settle for a few minutes (3 mins or so) after starting it, before you do any activity
• Reduce the number of neighbours if you have close to a thousand
• Delete and reinstall game if the above doesn't work

Sync Issues
Ensure your connection is good. Always fresh start your game before you do any actions to avoid sync issues. It is recommended that we do not leave our games running in the background.

• If you discover that you have forgotten to close out your game, force shut it without doing any activity and start it again.
• You can force save your game progress by visiting another farm, clicking on your newspaper or clicking Social/Community.
• Do not leave your game immediately after your last action. Try to force save your game progress and sync with Storm8 servers before closing your game.
