I was able to build Wiggum house and El Chem without any problems. I forget what my last task was related to the Wiggums (might have been Kent Brockman going undercover), but I don't currently have anything for them so I think I completed it without getting the problem. I don't think it has anything to do with the buildings. From what I've read on the "other" forum, it seems to be linked to your XP. A lot of people happened to reach their XP limit with the completion of El Chem and that's when they got locked out. Regardless, I hope the glitch gets resolved soon for everyone.

Think it only happens when you hit level up. That is how it happened to me and most others.

I'm scared I'm going to have it fixed and only have a few friends left.

Locked out or about 2 days now, tried literally everything and still no luck, except mine happened as soon as I sent the wiggims to el chemistri, was no where near leveling up so that wasn't the problem for me at all

It appears as though it is totally random who it strikes. Must be as annoying as hell

I tried my iPhone and iPad to no avail, Zuzu. H1, just visited your town, everyone is doing great! And sending their love to you! They were a bit confused, why you did visit them anymore! And were walking around a litte sad. So I tried to send love, but had no leftover cards. Without kidding, I see a lot of town around me, where no more cards are, so I know the reason now! I hope it will be fixed soon!

Damn it's back for me. Built il chemestri, which leveled me up and the next time I log in harps. Crossing my fingers that the auto lock solution works for me again!

Happened to me to Sucks because I've been locked out for like 2 days and my characters were only on 1 hr or 4 hr tasks! I could have made so much money by now

Thanks Ryan, super bummed! My phone is sitting on the table with the loading screen all this time so hoping I won't get locked out for two days this time!

And I'm back in! It did give me the bonus level up screen again so maybe that's the source of the freeze, but no duplicate donuts this time!

Do any of you have a different device you can try letting the harp play out for 15-20 minutes on? Others were saying they had issues on their iPad, switched to their iPhone and got back in. I only have my iPad and I had someone access my town on their device and it worked to get me back in the game. Alright. Later today I'll try just letting it sit.

God Dammit !!! ... Happened to me again! First I was out for 4-5 days until the Ralph Update and now again after the El Chemistry/Level Up thingy. Trying the Auto Lock solution for the 3rd time, but it seems it doesn't work. So... guess until the 28th I'm out again.
BTW, where is Lissa???

Happened to me right after El Chemistri finished building and I got a bonus level at the same time.

So I guess the bonus levels are triggering this? I am close to one, kind of worried now. Guess will know soon enough.
Hope you all get back in your towns soon!

Ok me too, I will do the 3 rd round now have 15.000 xp to go . I have build the wiggums house and el chemistry without problems, to only thing I saw was, after my first round that my xp went a bit crazy, but the day after everything was ok, so now you all are freaking me out, with your harp thing.

I'm still stuck on the 'other device' thingy - I do hope they fix it soon - or will we have to wait until the next update?

So it happened to my kids' account but I don't know what led up to it since they were the ones playing. I tried logging in with a different device and it hasn't resolved the problem. Their last building was Burns manor so they have yet to do the Wiggum tasks. So that supports my thoughts that it's linked to leveling up, but then there are those who got the glitch without the level up. Who knows? We are all just sitting ducks no matter what we do! I'm just glad they completed their Valentine stuff in case this isn't fixed until the next update. But I can already hear the complaints of losing all their hard earned hearts...

I'm still stuck on the 'other device' thingy - I do hope they fix it soon - or will we have to wait until the next update? Try: 1) Waiting until late at night (after midnight) or early in the morning (i.e. 4AM) 2) disabling the auto lock on your device if you have it set 3) Plugging your device in to power 4) Double tap the home button on your device to bring up the application switcher. Press and hold on any app icon until they wiggle and show the minus button with the red background. Close out all apps. 5) If your really paranoid, reboot your iOS device 6) Launch Tapped Out and let it sit If your lucky, it will eventually let you in instead of the app crashing. Once you get it, you will probably be presented with the bonus level/three box/donut screen. If you don't hit three donuts on the first time don't waste money picking another box - just confirm the donuts you got and you will more than likely loop back to the same pick a box for donuts screen and get even more donuts. You will probably loop over and over. Mine went for 10 minutes or so and I got about 100 donuts before the app crashed. Once the app reopened, my town was back to normal - now just with more donuts! EDIT: And if you have yourself, or know a friend/family member/whatever who has an iPhone 5, iPad 4 (the one with the lightning connector) or iPad mini those devices have more RAM and people seem to have a much higher success rate getting back into their Springfield's with those devices. Or just pester Josh to load your Springfield on his device - he's helped out several forum members already - thanks Josh! I suspect it finally worked for me because I tried really early in the morning (2AM EST - I'm a night owl, what can I say?) as the Origin servers were probably not as loaded as during the day. That's my theory anyway. At least one other on here posted that they had success at midnight so there may actually be something to my theory. Then again maybe not. But if you do manage to get in before they fix it, you can get a nice boost in donuts due to the glitch. And no, I feel absolutely no guilt in these donuts - I didn't ask for them nor did I go out of my way to trick the game into giving them to me unlike several of the cheats that have been posted previously; I got them as part of normal gameplay. Well, as normal as buggy gameplay can be considered anyway.
