Constant alarm sound

Post » Sat Feb 13, 2016 6:26 pm

I recently updated my game, and at first everything was fine but then I went to tap on one of my returned explorers at the same time an "incident" was happening, and it froze the game. Now my game is permanently stuck with an alarm sound going at all times. I've tried everything aside from deleting my save file, as I would very much so like to keep all of the hard work I've done, and the items I've spent money on. It seems to be a glitch with my save file, as my fiance's game works just fine. (On the same device.)


Is there any way to fix this?


Things I've tried:

-Restarting game

-Rebooting iPad (holding down the home and top button)

-Saving game to cloud and deleting it, then reinstalling it.



Other issues:
-I was only able to acquire Piper and the five free lunch boxes on one saved game, my fiance was not able to get them. Is this a bug, or can only one save file acquire them? (Guess everyone only got her once)

-The RadRoaches and Mole Rats are devastating. I lose at least one dweller each time they surface, and I've almost lost my whole shelter to a breakout of Mole Rats. I don't remember the Roches being that beefy previously, and the Mole Rats are making my gameplay not so fun. Is this a bug as well?


Thank you for your time.


What phone/tablet model are you using?

--iPad Air - model ME898LL/A - 128GB

What OS are you currently running (including version #)

--iOS 8.4(12H143)

Did you delete the game and reinstall it, or just update over the old build?

--Did not delete game before updating. Manually updated to 1.2 over the old build.

If you updated, did you manually update it, or allow the store to auto-update it?

--Maually updated through the store. (Searched for app, then clicked update.)

~!!! POSSIBLE FIX !!!~

I think I found the culprit. (At least in my game.)


Whenever I send my Mr. Handy guys out into the wasteland, the sound comes back, but as soon as they're back in my shelter, the sound goes away. I've tested it out three times and each time my Mr. Handy guys were out, the sound returned.

Bump


Still having this issue even with the new update. :\ Sound only happens when my Mr. Handy guys are not inside my vault. It's so loud that I hardly ever hear the Mysterious Stranger.

I have a similar issue, a mechanical sound that wont go away that started happening just after i bought a 5 pack of mr handys. Im going to try and return all of them to the vault to see if that helps.



I'm on android lollipop and ive tried it on my phone as well as my tablet so it seems to be connected to the save file.

The sound went away when they came back and when I sent them out again and reloaded it came back.

Yeah, the same thing happens for me, the only way to keep the sound away is to keep them at the vault until they fix this issue. :\
