Probably a duplicate - I did the right thing and tried to find the other crash thread but the big one was full.


Mainly I just want to know: is there a particular place I should be submitting bug reports to or does Bethesda read this/iTunes store reviews?



- running iOS 8.4

- iPad Air late 2013

- Restarted multiple times after encountering bug and did system update.

Since the 7/10 update (which I downloaded on 7/12), every single time I open the file for my vault, after 30 seconds it crashes.


First, I see a notice that the one dweller who had the pregnant bug has had a child (the father in the notice for some reason changes each time but is inevitably one of several dead dwellers that I removed); Then, no matter what I do, the game freezes and quits to the iPad home screen at about the 30 second mark.


Even more oddly, I will later on get notices that the child has grown up, but when I try again, he/she will once again be a freshly born child and all resources, level ups, radio stations, and SPECIAL ups will be right back where they were the last time I tried and it will once again crash.


If you know of a solution or a way to make sure Bethesda is aware, please let me know.

This is exactly what's happening to me! I updated to the latest version, and starting July 15th, the game started crashing after a bunch of people got pregnant. any way my game can be repaired?

I am using iPad Air 2 on iOS 8.4

the latest update allowed me to play for awhile, then it started crashing again

It's Bethesda, what did you all expect? Fallout 3 was buggy as hell, New Vegas had a bug where the bigger the save file was the slower the game would run on the PS3, same with Skyrim. Bethesda does not have good customer support at all, it's always the same, check the forums. I mean there are a whole bunch of articles on Fallout 3 and New Vegas that they only had 2 beta testers for the games. Just look up FO3 and New Vegas bugs on the net and you will see.

I haven't been able to play since July 2nd. Every time I click on the app it opens to the title, then closes after about 10 seconds. I am playing on an iPhone 5S Version 8.4 if that helps.

I too had about 171 dwellers I believe in my second more successful Vault because let's face it, kinda have to kill everyone off to learn how to play better. The first two or three times I had issues loading the game, I deleted it and re-downloaded it. But with 171 dwellers and some awesome gear... I don't want to restart fresh with nothing!

I just started having this issue today. The game was working great after the update, then this morning it started crashing after about 30 seconds. This is on an iPhone 5s with 180 dwellers.

Exact same thing happening to me. Is there something we need to provide to allow them to fix the bug?

iPhone 6 Plus- My original vault crashed a few seconds after load. The update came out, that one worked properly again, now my secondary vault that I started because of the crashes is crashing. Please fix this.

I am as well having this problem. I thought maybe it was because I had just updated my 3rd Nuclear Power room to it's top level, but it seems everyone is having this problem in one way or another. Is it a memory leak at the top tiers of the game? I can't even get into another, lower level vault for very long before it crashes.


I am running 8.4 iOS and I have about 182 dwellers currently. I have about 17 levels with a lot of fully upgraded rooms. Please fix! I'd like to be able to recommend this game to my android friends.

I am on a I phone 4s same thing but it's gotten to the extent where I can't really play the game anymore.

I did not experience crashes until after the update. Then, only sporadically. Now, it crashes 30 seconds after start, every single time. I can only tie this to the radio rooms becoming active again after I had a dweller die, which took me from 200 dwellers to 199. I have a bunch of dwellers training and five in the wasteland. Everything was going great until today. I spent $20 to support their approach to free-to-play, and now I can't play at all. Bethesda doesn't seem to want to address these issues - if they'd just let us know they hear our concerns and are working on it, I'd be a lot less frustrated.

I have a vault for 145 players. Nothing wrong with my iPhone 5c. Played it great. Update, can't open my vault crashes immediarely

My vault is small, since everytime it gets about the same size I get the bug where I'm unable to get past the loading screen. :/

people have been reporting this late game killer for over a month - to absolute silence from bethesda. "supporting free to play" should not mean "support-free play." go get your money back from apple - ya got 90 days.

Iphone 6

crash after i open it .

I have played 10 day with no problem.

Yup. Crashes about 30 seconds after I open. Only one vault, though. The other one has more dwellers and more rooms and hasn't crashed, yet. "Is anyone there" at Bethesda to read these posts?

Is anybody able with this "after about a minute"-bug to get their savefile from their device? Not sure if that's possible on iOS.... I'm an android user with the same problem, but I managed to get into the file but need more examples to compare with. If it's 0kb, then it's no use.... no data is no fix... However I'm hopeful it's related to some kind of event so either remove or surpass it somehow and hopefully that'll fix it... not a programmer here, just another Fallout really devoted fan.

It takes me 1 minute at MOST for it to crash. and I have a great high quality android trio tablet with great quality. It only crashes after I go to my vault.
