You’re not alone. I was playing it fine this morning around 7am EDT. Came back to it around 10am and had the same connection issues as you. Looking at my Google Play update history, it looks like the game was updates sometime between 7 and 10 EDT. Maybe there’s a mismatch between client and server versions…
I woke up this morning to the same issue. Checked the GPlay store and saw the update, which resolved the issue temporarily. But now, the game is down again. Perhaps there is another client update coming shortly?
Oh I thought it was me! I started this morning, beat the tutorial, then started getting some weird game breaking bugs in the daily reset message. I started troubleshoot and now I’m only getting the can’t connect to server message. I thought I broke it during my troubleshooting! I guess it’s a server side issue.
Hello everyone! The servers should be working better now. We are looking into these server issues further as we speak, thank you for letting us know and your continued patience.
EDIT: I was just able to get into the game, but it keep asking me to update when there wasn’t an update available. Took about 3x force closing the app to get it to load properly.
