Game crashes everytime I attempt to load up vault

Post » Sat Feb 13, 2016 6:04 am

I have a vault I've worked on since the conference and I haven't been able to log into my vault (I've tried to log in all day).


There were two attempts where it did load the vault but I was unable to interact with anything and it froze then crashed


1. showed my vault storage, froze then crashed


2. showed the "You have a baby" screen but crashed before I could accept anything



Even at its best in the past few days its been crashing every few minutes and now its unplayable. The funny thing is that when I attempted to make a new vault it worked fine. I would restart the game but I bought lunch boxes and I don't want to lose money to a game bug.



iPod version: iPod touch 5


iOS: Current




Update: Finally managed to load vault but crashes almost immediately. No more freezing.

I have a similar issue. I had 20 vault dwellers and just built my radio tower. The game crashed and would not let me back in. This was last night at about 10pm (PST) and I still have yet to get into it. I made a new vault and it runs fine (albeit crashes all the time, but I can still get back into it.)


I think it is the baby issue. I got a notice and it said that your vault dweller had a baby. At that point I could no longer get into the vault. So it seems to be some kind of bug with the baby thing.


I have an iPad 2, so I guess I should be happy it just plays on it, but it would be nice if they fixed the crashing issues. I love this game, having so much fun with it otherwise.

Same issue for me. I started another vault and noticed similar crashes starting at around 20-22 dwellers, but

I could still get into every few times I tried loading. After getting to 26 it crashed and since then I've been unable to access it as well. Third vault is catching up, so we'll see what happens with it.

It might be the hardware you're running the game on. I'm playing with the latest iPad and it's working smoothly with 42 members.

I have this game ending bug as well, i managed to get 36 dwellers and 18 rooms after several hours of going through constant crashes average about 5 or so an hour and horrible choppy performance issues during fire alarms, raids, etc. However after i hit 36 dwellers game crashed and now when i try to load up my vault after like 30 or so secs of it trying to load, it will just crash back to the app selection. Kind of pissed an annoyed, also sent out 2 of my troops and they will probably end up dead or heck the entire save might be screwed, i had them at like 94% happiness rating as well. Also i am playing on the iPod Touch 5.



I like that this game can be played offline, however does that mean if we uninstall it, etc do we lose all our game save or is it backed up some how? I don't think it is, because i never logged in through Game Center as well.



I have tried shutting down the ipodtouch and restarting and that doesn't solve the issue.


Also tried loading up another vault, which works, but than going back to the main one, which still fails.


Just created a new vault and retried going back to the main one and still no luck. :(



Uugghhhh looks like it is game over for me, can't be bothered to start all over!

Thank gosh I'm not the only one. If it is a hardware issue I doubt that playing it offline would help. A good idea would to migrate it to PC or update it so it doesn't require as much usage. I love this game but if it won't work then sadly I have no choice but to quit. :(
