After update to 1.2, the game loads but then crashes after about a minute into the game play. I was not experiencing issues prior to this update.

4th gen ipad (MD525LL/A) iOS 7.1

Upgraded from v1.1 to 1.2 via App Store updates

Is there a memory leak? I only ask because the game will crash when sitting at the main menu too.

*UPDATE* after attempting to play multiple times, the "What's New" window finally popped up. After this, the crashing seems to have stopped. So far, it looks like my issue was a result of not being able to display that window properly.

Was doing good for a while. Crashing again. This time almost as soon as the vault loads. Restarted ipad and ensured no other apps are loaded, no help.

I can confirm this is being caused by in-game pop-ups. Loaded up on my iPhone and "Halloween costumes available in the store" advert came up. Since this is not a game specific occurrence but device specific, I can't seem to get my game to not crash on the ipad. Very frustrating.

If anyone is following this, I have a solution. However, Bethesda, this should not be considered the fix. My vault is on the larger side, so I guess the advertisemants push the resources over the edge. So, load a new or "smaller" vault. With fewer tasks to deal with, the adverts are able to display without crashing the game. Then you can go back to your primary vault without needing worry about the advert crashing your game. Good luck Overseers!

I am also having no success being able to play mylargest (and only) vault. After the vault loads, with many tasks I need to complete and a 'top Six Flags ride' size line of returning wasteland explorers, I get the daily reward, then within seconds the game [censored] down. Prior to this issue, the game had run very smoothly, but now it's just like it was a couple months ago, a useless app taking up memory. I submitted a request through Bethesda and was told to search these forums to see if other players have had the same issue. While I appreciate that there could potentially be a fix, I find it discouraging that I cannot submit a formal request for assistance. Not everyone has the time (or the patience) to scroll though a list of forum posts.

(I sure hope Fallout 4 doesn't have the same 'bug'...I know, iOS vs Xbox One don't compare, but still...)

Thanks for the help, I have been experiencing this issue for 2 days now. Unfortunately, your solution didn't help. I made a new vault and stayed inside of it for a few minutes and I didn't receive any Halloween pop ups that people have been describing. Should I get the pop ups every time I open the game or is it sporadic?

In my experience, the pop-ups loaded within the first 2 minutes.

Do you have to load the smaller vault every time you load the game or does getting the pop ups out of the way the first time solve the issue in perpetuity?

Loading the pop-ups on the smaller vault gets it out of the way as long as I'm on the same device. Two different pop-ups so far since updating to 1.2.1. First was the "what's new" and then yesterday was the "Halloween costume" advertisemant.
