Thank you for this, that’s really good to know! Deca said the bug fixes were all backend and nothing we’d notice, but maybe the loading screen and slowness were fixed in the process. I don’t have this glitch, so I can’t check, but I have since heard this is an old issue that wasn’t addressed for months. Hopefully now it has been!
Unfortunately it appears I jinxed myself. The splash screen has indeed been fixed, but I have experienced two times since my post that it was 5+ minutes to load DV (which sadly is better compared to almost 15 minutes in the past). Hopefully DECA will continue to work to resolve the issue. I doubt any of us have spare time to wait over 5 minutes for a game to load.
Five minutes, that’s really bad! I’d recommend opening a help ticket with Deca. The more players who report the issue, the higher the priority. It looks like this is affecting both Android and iOS players, maybe players with devices that have 2GB RAM or less. Are you playing in low resolution mode? If not, low res could help your load time and crashes. Go to Options > check Low Resolution Mode.

I was wondering if it's just me, but it seems like others are experiencing long loading times too. It's reached the point where I just open the app and walk off to do some chores for a couple minutes, hoping it'll finish loading by the time I'm done. Which is really annoying when I'm trying to collect the last of the day's event currency before reset. Even more annoying when I wait forever only to have the game crash so I have to start all over. All this even though I upgraded the app a couple days ago.
I am playing in low resolution mode though. I have been for about a year now.
EDIT: I decided to open the app and see how long it took to load. This time it took six minutes.

The loading (and reloading after crashes even in Lo rez...thanks ios13 jinx) delays remind me (age reveal) of dial up net days, where you would turn the device on, then go make a cup of tea while everything loaded 😂😂😂

That moment when you crawl out of bed and start playing DragonVale even though you're not awake.
And you start playing Name That Dragon, and because you're not awake you see the Ornamental dragon and mistake it for Oatmeal. Then you think, "Since when did they make an Oatmeal dragon? And is there a Pancakes dragon to go with it?"
Clearly I should have had some breakfast before stumbling out of bed and playing games.

My Dartwing dragon has a glitch. I only have one in my park. If I look at him in the Dragonarium, it shows that he has a fire trait, which I can toggle on and off using the trait button. But, if I look at him in the habitat he does not have a trait and he won't go through the rift portal. I'm sure he has been like this since I originally bred him, but it's only now when I'm trying to breed a non rifted version, that I've realised that he is not a rift dragon. Very odd.

maybe you have had another one with trait that you've sold accidently.

OMG! You ARE old! How well I remember those 1600 baud dial-ups in the mid 80s. And when we’d have a problem I’d call New Jersey Bell, they’d call me back and say “Try it now.” and it would be working. And then I’d ask “What was wrong?” and they’d reply “Nothing”. Or we’d try to dial up our terminal in PA or NY or MA or FL and it wouldn’t work...call NJ Bell. After about 10 seconds they’d say “Our end’s OK, must be Bell of Pennsylvania.” I’d Call Bell of Pennsy...”Our end’s OK.” Half hour later one or the other would call back...”Try it now.”...”Yeah, it’s working, what’d you do?”...”Nothing”. New England Bell and NYNEX weren’t much better. Oh, the time we lost... And to get the pittance credit on our monthly bill for when it was down almost wasn’t worth the effort. The only dial-up we NEVER had trouble with was Bell of Canada.

I’ve been trying to breed an Eve dragon for several weeks. It’s in my marketplace so I presume it’s available. I’m using level 16 aquacorn and conch but no joy. Are there any requirements that I’m not aware of?
Grateful for all advice. Thanks!
Please add me for co-op breeding, even if gems/treats are spoken for

My favorite animation is Sunsorch during his daytime form. I like the way he stops swimming, looks down at his body, realizes that he's turned bright red and then screams in horror.
There's something about this that I find rather humorous. He just holds up his flippers like the guy in The Scream painting, and I imagine him yelling something like this, "Oh no, I'm sunburned! Nooooooo!!"

Thanks crumble608 That could explain it, I will have to try and breed another rifted one next time it is available.

Welcome to the forum kaylou. Eve is permanent so it is breedable, but it is not an easy dragon to breed. It is not scientific, but change the place you are trying to breed them, change the order around. Sometimes I've tried for a dragon over and over in the Epic Breeding Island, changed it to the regular breeding cave and get it first try.

I don’t want an Oatmeal dragon. The Ghostlies were bad enough. I really hope they don’t make a whole range of breakfast cereal dragons.😝
Those 5 little paradise dragons are finally getting some company. * makes room for another paradise habitat and checks the pantry for dragon fruit snacks *
O my dragons (to copy an erstwhile Valer); adlerist , could you pretty please plead our case w DECA for at least one week between events?
Fatigue with the game is a real thing, leads to loss of interest, grumpyness and (gasp) loss of a sense of generosity and spending RL$ in the game....
we have housework islandwork to do, cleaning up, learning new dragons names (who are you again, and who were your parents, oh NOT a cold climate but a dry climate, ok) pruning and dusting the gardens and decor (oops, sorry Tansy) cleaning out the fountains (Frond get OUT of there while I scrub) and just a bit of ENJOYING the beauty of this game...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'm calling it now. That dragon in the bottom picture on the left looks like it will probably require Frond as part of its breeding pair.
I just hope there are more glow in the dark dragons. Those things are gorgeous. 🌴 ❤ 🌴
