Yesterday, we bemoaned the sorry state of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp’s servers. The new mobile game suffers from some painful server problems, leading to frequent crashes, communication errors and infinite load times. Mobile games based off Nintendo properties aren’t known for their stable servers; Pocket Camp is also a multiplayer-focused game with a big audience, so some lag is to be expected.
