Game not progressing?

[stewiemuffin]

I apologize as I'm new to this forum. I can't find the answer though. 

Is anyone experiencing the game not progressing?by that I mean I send someone on a 12 hour task and I will come back 15 hours later and there is still ten hours on the task.is there a way to fix this? 

Thanks!

Yes there's quite a few people had this issue...Myself included.

I can only assume it's a bug that needs squashed and that the next update is the swat so to speak

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your stay

I was getting this all the time, especially when I'd switch between my two devices and two towns.

What you should know is that, on iOS, the game syncs when you hit the home button on your device. The problem is that the game is not good about knowing when to sync, and if an attempt to sync is unsuccessful, it won't bother to try again until you log on the next time.

To make sure it syncs properly, I've made a habit to sync it at least twice anytime I set tasks, clear buildings, or get anything meaningful. While in my town, I hit the home button, wait 1 second, enter the game again, and then hit the home button again to sync it a second time. Since I've started doing this, I haven't had the problem at all.

Since I'm not sure how it syncs on Android, on my phone I exit, restart, exit again, restart again, then exit. Haven't had any problems.

Thanks for the tip. Seems like it will be a lot of extra steps but probably quicker than waiting for the game to do what it's supposed to

I've experiences the same thing. The quick fix is to make sure you force close the app every time you close it instead of just hitting the home button. Either by double tapping home on iOS and swiping up or hitting the button on android that shows you what apps you have open and swiping up. I've been doing this for a couple weeks and seems to work 100% of the time. Supposedly they're going to fix it with the next update.

Don't know if its related, or a different bug, but approx 3 hours ago, I collected all money and put all characters on task,the large majority of which were 8, 10 or 12 hour tasks. Got back into the game an hour ago after not being able 'to connect to the server' for over 40 minutes. When I got back in, my money was down, all buildings were awaiting collection and all characters were walking around taskless. This meant that I had to collect all the money again and reassign all the tasks. I do hope they sort all these issues soon as Its been a nightmare today with missing clowns, fences, money and jobs being cancelled

I had the task timer issue twice at least and was pissed that timers didn't count down. Since then I always force close app go back in and then leave again. Have not had this issue since.
