Hayday crashes every time after update to iOS 9.0 and it's also really slow.

[Poios]

Did this several hours back. Have been in and out of the game several times since. Everything good so far but if I wake up tomorrow and it has reverted back, I will just repeat. It was a quick and easy fix

Thanks. Tried it on an iPhone 5s, didn't make a difference from a normal reset, froze again just now, unfortunately.

I must agree I did as u said... And unbelievable... I'm playing. Not perfect but I can stay online chat and play.. Without the game freaking out. It only freaking out for like 30% but hey.. I can live with that :-) thanx. Hope it stays like this or gets better..

4 months of an impossible game with my iPad 1° Generation with iOS 5.1 and no on solution from Supercell.

Always "We are investigating", "it's an old device", "Hay Day is a big game for old devides", "No sufficient RAM", and others excuses like this.

After 4 months with hundred of asking peole and threads, i decide to finish this story buying a NEW iPad Air 2.

So I have more Ram, it's the newest device and my problems are finished.

But... still crash every 5 minutes.

Nick... what are u doying?????

Investigating more?

Dear Supercell team....what is happening?
i used to enjoy playing HayDay all the time....now it is a chore
just to do the simplest things. Loading takes forever, crashes are frequent,
every swipe and movement is delayed, I can't even check forums thru the game.
i accessed this thru my webpage. I have downloaded the SC updates, as well as
the latest Apple iOS update.

My thoughts are that the derby has been the tipping point....since derby has begun, been
having more probs. Perhaps u need to go back to drawing boards...for those of us with older iPads,
the game isn't fun anymore!
PLEASE! PLEASE respond to us! We love the game, and would hate to be forced to leave it!
thank you.

P.s. Personally, I would skip the derby and get my old game back! Lol!

I understand your frustration, and this is not an ideal situation at all. I would love to say when it will get fixed, or if there would be a workaround for it, but for now there's none. I am so sorry for the inconvenience and I promise to keep you guys updated as soon as we know more.

Cheers,

Nick

A notable number of users who have installed iOS 9 on their iPhones, iPad, and iPod touch have discovered that iOS 9 has caused performance to suffer, with annoying lag, choppiness in interactions, delayed response from the user interface, and just general performance degradation. That lag can be notable enough to make the device feel considerably slower on iOS 9 than when compared to the same hardware running a prior version of iOS. This can be a frustrating experience, but there are a couple of tweaks you can make to immediately improve the performance of a sluggish iOS 9 device, effectively speeding up the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch again.

NOTE: This does NOT completely fix the freezing issue which may be associated with Game Center. This freezing issue might be fixed in iOS 9.1, which is my hope. The following is what I did to improve performance for Clash of Clans, which should also work for Hay Day as well.

Disable Transparency & Motion
Some devices seem to struggle to render visual effects on iOS 9, by disabling transparency and motion eye candy, you can speed up the general interactivity of iOS on an older device.

1. Go to Settings > General.
2. Choose Accessibility.
3. Locate Increase Contrast and choose Reduce Transparency, toggling it to ON.
4. Go back to Accessibility and locate Reduce Motion, toggle that to ON as well.

The end result is that iOS will look less fancy without any translucent windows or crazy zooming in and out motion effects, but the tradeoff for a slightly uglier iOS experience is notably better performance on virtually every model. Also, by enabling Reduce Motion, you end up with a nice transition effect, which some users prefer anyway.

Disable Background App Refresh
Background App Refresh is an interesting feature that allows background app activity in iOS, but while it’s well intentioned it can lead to a decrease in device performance. Turning it off is easy, and the only side effect is that when you open an app that gets details from the internet, it refreshes on open rather than in the background – no big deal.

1. Go to Settings > General.
2. Find Background App Refresh and toggle it to OFF.

By completing these steps, not only do I notice a big reduction in choppiness and overall performance issues in the games, but even web browsing, like using these forums is a much better experience. Everything responds faster, and I no longer experience the keyboard lag I used to struggle with sometimes.

If this does not fix any issues for you, or you do not like the change in appearance of iOS, simply backtrack the steps shown above to revert the changes.

Thanks Badfish!!!! Very helpful!

I'm experiencing a similar issue as well. I hope it will get fixed by Supercell or Apple soon.

will try the above. I've tryed everything else. Wil let you know if i still get the black screen of death after playing for around 10 m

Thanks Badfish for the pointers, but 3 weeks ago I tried the very same tips which I found here (& shared in the slower than molasses thread), so please forgive me if I say the help seems a bit behind the curve.

FWIW, the improvement lasted only until I visited the town & returned to the farm. Since a change of game screens after a reboot (or not) always seems to trigger the same problems previously described in the other thread, in my wholly non-professional & technically challenged estimation, perhaps that should be an area of focus for the bug investigation which I presume is still ongoing. If I can replicate it at will, surely SC programmers by now can.
