Is Your Candy crush Soda game running fast?

Cupcake-6

It's been weeks. They clearly aren't investigating or fixing anything. I've stopped playing the game and will not play again unless they put the speed back and get rid of the bouncing. It used to be my favorite game and I played it everyday. Not again until it's back to normal. Super disappointed.

Hi Cupcake, thanks for writing us here.  Yes it's been weeks and yes I haven't been able to play this game either.  And just because the problem hasn't been resolved yet doesn't mean that they aren't working on it.  If you know anything about programming it's not an easy task to correct.  You might fix one thing and then it's like a cause and effect - one gets fixed and another gets messed up.  I wouldn't want to be sitting in their chairs right now trying to resolve these glitches and hear that the fans are getting extremely annoyed and extremely upset because they can't do a quick fix.  Since I can't really play this game because of the bouncing, I play my other games Candy Crush Saga, Candy Crush Jelly Saga and now I'm playing Farm Heroes.  The only thing that I do with Soda is go into the game daily and get that daily treat but can't really use it anyway because the game is a mess.  But I don't want to lose my daily number from moving up.  Then I also send out the lives requests for my friends and then I exit the game.  Every once in a while I try to play the level to see if it's been fixed and then I go on to my other games.  Why don't you do the same thing - go into the game to collect the daily reward so that you don't lose your number and then send out the lives to your friends and then go play another one of their games until they find a fix?  It might take away some of your frustration.

Elsa,

I read your post and what you say makes sense.  The players who are playing this game and who are extremely annoyed with the changes want the fix to happen right away, as do I. 

I have a question though.  You mentioned that you aren't actually playing the game anymore until everything gets resolved and you just go into the game to collect your daily booster.  That is the part that is very perplexing to me because that is one of the things that the programmers have changed.  I no longer get a daily booster (that I can hold for later).  I get a booster, but it has a time frame attached to it, so once you log in, you get either a fish, a bomb or a color bomb.  You get an hour of whatever booster you get that day and then pretty much have to play the game at that time for the hour you get the booster, or until your lives run out.  Meanwhile, you still have a booster that is running the clock down but you can't play because your lives have run out.  I would run out of gold if I had to pay for lives every time it ran out in order to make use of the timed booster. 

I absolutely hate the way they have decided to change the way the players get boosters.  I was told they do not want the player to collect a stockpile and that the boosters are meant to be used.  I agree with that, but let ME choose when I want to use them, NOT the programmer.  Sometimes I only have 15 minutes before I go back to work, so I lose out on the rest of the 45 minutes of boosters. 

I would like to see King go back to giving daily boosters, just as they do with all the rest of their games, unless that is their plan to eliminate free daily boosters for all of their games, at which point I will no longer play any of King's games.  The whole reason I play these games is because I like them (the way they were).  When the programmers change things and don't take into consideration the players involved, then you run into problems.  After all, the players are the ones playing the game, spending their money, etc. Let us enjoy the game you created without interfering with how the player uses the boosters!!

Hi Lisa, thank you for writing here and I love all that you wrote.  Yes you are right with that daily booster in the game and it needs to be played immediately.  But by going in every day the daily calendar advances to the next day.  Every once in a while (like today) I try to play the level once using that daily booster.  But if it advances, and if they fix it and if we can play it then maybe I can clear a level.  A lot of ifs right? 

Regarding the daily boosters the same across all games I'm not sure that will ever happen because I was told each game has their own team and they aren't really going to take an idea from one game and use it for another.  Perhaps each team wants their own unique daily boosters and events.  But I do agree with you because Candy Crush Saga has the daily wheel where they get added to your accumulation and they also have the sugar drop challenge where you can collect a bunch of free boosters.  I just wish sometimes they could listen to what we all have to say.  But we continue to play these games because we love the challenge.  I love meeting people like you here on King Care and sharing our thoughts and frustrations!

I haven't played for weeks now,  I used to play every day,  I pop on every now and then to see if it's back to normal but with no joy. I will probably uninstall it if they don't fix it,  my sister stopped playing too, we've just found other games to play instead.  Shame.

Hate the faster speed for Candy Crush.  Please put it back asap.  If you want to test new ideas why not ask for volunteers rather than choosing people at random and ruining their game.  Not playing any more - using my girlfriend's as hers is at normal speed

I do NOT like this new fast speed! Please make it stop!!! The bouncing is a no go too!

Hey guys, I forwarded 3 videos to a King Admin yesterday showing the speedy and bouncing of the candies.  He is forwarding it to the studio so hopefully they can bring it back to the slower pace real soon.

I am not a fan of the turbo speed Candy Crush.  I like to play the game on my free time because I find it relaxing or therapeutic.  Now that it is going hyperspeed on me, it feels like "chaos" and becomes stressfull.  I will probably stop playing the game if they don't go back to normal speed.

If some people prefer turbo, perhaps they can provide it as a game option in the settings?

Horrible. Gives me a headache so can't play any more. Please fix

Dee_Guthrey

This warped speed is horrible. It's very annoying, hurts the eyes and makes me anxious - not in a good way. No longer enjoyable to play the game. Now I need to go find some aspirin for this headache it has caused me.

Well said. I agree.

Vicky_Renee

I do NOT like the faster version

Vicky_Renee

Yeah I can't play the game anymore either

It's just too fast

Lady_Choo

Thank you for your feedback, I am passing it on to the team

Mine just started doing this. I hate it. Everything is going way too fast in this turbo mode. It's like someone is holding the fast forward button. Horrible. I want the regular speed back please.

I haven't played in a few days and not happy to open it up today and see this new change. I play while relaxing and I couldn't make it through one round before it was just too too much. The frenzied feel wasn't appreciated. I don't think I would mind so much, I could get used to it, if they would just get rid of the hints. I have never liked them, but they seem to stand out more now.
