Before I begin, please understand that this glitch is extremely frustrating like the title says, and that it can be only fully understood by reading the entire description below, so please take your time to read what I have written. I have written this in lines so things seems briefer and easier to catch up with. You're welcome.

So.

I play Fallout and Elder Scrolls, so I love Bethesda's games, so of course I'm going to play Fallout Shelter for Android.

Unfortunately, there is a glitch, one that leaves me with EXTREME frustration and disappointment.

The glitch is this:

One day, playing the game, I get a new objective that rewards me a lunchbox. The objective is to collect 2,000 water. No big deal. Just going to have to do that gradually over time.

The next day, I get a similar objective, only this time, it's 2,000 food. Again, no big deal. Just going to take some time.

The next day after that, I realize that the progress I had made is now gone! I had about 700 water and 300 food out of 2,000, but I lost all my progress! I thought, "Why is this game doing this?"

A few following days, the glitch persists, leaving me tempted to throw my phone out the window with anger. But I decide to skip the food objective. How disappointing it is to blow the chance to earn a lunchbox!! I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH!!

Then later, I get two more lunchbox objectives! One wants me to raise the happiness of 10 dwellers to 100%, and the other wants me to assign 15 dwellers to the right room. At the time, I had 28 dwellers total. This was going to take some time by breeding and using the Radio Room. I get 6 dwellers to get to 100% happiness and I assign 12 dwellers to the right room (they were either pregnant or recently raised a SPECIAL stat).

The next day, once again ALL OF MY PROGRESS IS LOST. I get EXTREMELY mad at the game, and I came very, very close to smashing my phone with a mallet. After I calmed down, I was able to raise ANOTHER 10 dwellers' happiness to 100% by breeding and by taking dwellers from the Radio Room and putting them back. But the glitch persisted with the 2,000 water objective and the 15 dwellers-being-assigned-to-the-right-room objective. The next day, I, once again, skipped ANOTHER lunchbox objective, in deep, deep, deep disappointment.

A few days later, progress on the water objective remained stable. I got to about 1,400 water then I get some more objectives that award me caps, not lunchboxes, but the glitch struck again, and I almost lost my temper, I was so furious.

I have no idea why this glitch is happening, but I want to know if there's anyone else who's going through the same horrible, horrible experience that I am, and being tempted to obliterate the phone and/or uninstall the game.

And I'd very much like for Bethesda Game Studios to not leave me hanging and get their act together and fix this nightmare of a glitch. And give me 2 free lunchboxes. THEY OWE ME THOSE.

Maybe the objective is just poorly written. Maybe it's collect 2000 water/food without leaving the game or saving.

I'm sorry but if you get that angry at a GAME then perhaps anger management classes are in order... Look, I know it is aggravating. It has happened to many of us, myself included. But wanting to SMASH YOUR PHONE? Um.. Issues?

For some reason it hasn't happened to me in a while. I don't know what causes it, but I did use the "objective crash" fix and maybe that fixed this issue, as well. Might want to try it. It can't hurt. I'll post a link to the thread if I can here in a second.

No I do get to keep my progress if the other objectives are... different. Like "stop 10 incidents" or something. Then they work just fine, but that was after I skipped those two lunchbox objectives.

Hahahahahahaha... I don't ACTUALLY feel the urge to smash my phone, I was just exaggerating, that's all. Just to show how annoying it is.

I'll give this "objective crash" thing a try. Thank you.

Again, please understand that I'm not LITERALLY ultra super pissed off, I just needed a way to express how truly obnoxious it is for that to happen.

Hehe, that's good to know. I hope it helps you.

I did try that crash thing. Doesn't seem to work with what I have, but those objectives are long gone now. I finished the 2,000 water objective and got my lunchbox, but I guarantee that this glitch will eventually happen to me again.
