AAARGGGGGGHH!! How annoying! Every time I collect money and get characters to do actions, my game freezes for a few seconds then catches up THEN it kicks me off the app, and when I return ALL the progress I have made is deleted and I have to start again! 😦 😦

I have had the same problem I found out my phone hadn’t enough RAM Try the following:
Force stop any apps you don’t need or disable them
Download this app Clean Master you can boost game and clean any unneeded data as family guy game is updated a lot
or buy a new phone my new one has 1.5gb and runs the game fine.

why is it everytime the game always goes up to 500 to 600mb memory its taking up all my space. once i play it then exit & delete it on the background something will shows up that im running out of space. i look on my usage settings it was the family guy who takes up all the space 500 to 600mb? is it supposed to happen that way?
LikeLike
It is a HIGH activity game. LOTS of memory being used. Main reason those with limited space or TOO much going on have crashing or lagging issues. You need to make sure you have enough room to run it.

Hey sorry if this has been asked before. I finished all the quests having to do with the Pawtucket brewery, but my characters still have the option to collect items that you use to craft in the brewery.

I’ve been playing the new update since day 1, and am still trying to unlock Captain Picard & Starfleet Lois. my drop rates are abysmal.
I still need 3 duct tape, 36 batteries, 31 laser pointers, you get the idea. How are we suppose to pull this off when the drop rate is so low that there are almost no possible ways to finish this update without spending a couple hundred bucks on the game…
As for starfleet Lois, I need 2 groceries, 9 felicium, and 5 ear pieces. So frusturated with this game. I might point out that out of my friends list, only 1 person has made it to the end of sick bay.(He uses clams for EVERYTHING.

Once you are able to get back in the game go to menu, account, and note the long number on lower right. Take a screenshot of it even. That way you will have it in the future if needed again. That is where your player ID is.

I’ve got a weird crash problem. I have Stewie in his Iron Baby costume doing the animated task where he rockets up into the air and smashes into the ground. The task is complete. Every time I tap on the check-mark my game crashes. I’ve restarted the game and the phone (iPhone). I sent a “contact us” message to TinyCo through the app. Is there some other way to store the character or otherwise abort the task? The only other thing I can think to do is wait for Stewie to get a task in the Star Trek event and hopefully(?!) that will snap him out of whatever is causing the crash. Ideas?

Holy smokes that’s a lot of Q&A, keeping busy guys? 🙂
So I saw the icon with Peter in a Star Trek uniform and decided it was time to check out the game. It took days to get to the event stuff but here I am! I just leveled up the warp core to 2.
So, questions.
1. Do you have an “add neighbors” page. I know it’s facebook, I wish they had another way to add people. I have 1 person on FB that plays. I don’t use it much, mostly for games that require it.
~ do neighbors serve any purpose besides coins and an occasional clam?
2. What do you wish you knew before you started, like… tips for new players… if only I knew then what I know now – stuff.
Do you think we get to keep the Enterprise after the event? Probably not, but they have stuff in it you have to pay ~for-reals~ monies for. :O If it’s going away, well… no! I wanted the tribble room but now I wish you could buy the tribble furrier and it dropped tribbles in your town.
Wishful, yes.
So, I am not a big fan of the FG show, they’re… not my cuppa tea. But so far the game is fun, and the event is cool. It’s a little frustrating being behind, some characters jobs for items don’t open until they’re higher level or another section is opened.
Hindsight, yepper.
Uh oh, writing a book. OK so that’s enough. Great job on the site guys!
