I experience a 30 second delay between the time when a project completes, and when I get the "Project complete!" message telling me what my contributions are.
This has happened for the last 3 phases of the latest Bortola projects.
To clarify, I don't mean a lag to get the reward or message, rather a complete freeze/hang when the message is trying to come through.
For example, I see the rock start to move a little bit, then the beginnings of the project complete (or pphase complete) screen..but then everything becomes unresponsive for 20 - 30 seconds. Ultimately, the complete message finally breaks through and everything is fine again.
Same thing is happening to my hubby and i both. When ever we finish a quest or for me , helped finish a street project. We are both running IE8. Like Joe Blow said, will recover in about 20-30 seconds.
Confirming that it also happens on quests and achievements. Seems like any time the rock wants to initiate conversation, perhaps? (Also, I'm on Chrome, so it appears to be a browser-agnostic issue.) I've heard from countless people at projects that they're getting it as well.
similar here on win7 64bit IE 9 fully patched , latested Flash player. The delay is such that IE tells me glitch has stopped responding and offers to reload the page.
