I recently got the cool new Preston Garvey character, who is lvl 40 with an awesome weapon and outfit. So, naturally, I sent him out to explore! However, after a little while, I returned to the game and found his weapon was missing, which was strange. Normally, explorers switch weapons when they find a better one, but it is highly unlikely Preston found something better than his laser. The weapon sprite was completely missing. When observing the progress of my other explorers, such as Star Paladin Cross and Betty Crawford, I could tap on their icons to see their weapon and outfit. However, when I tapped on Preston Garvey's it did not show anything. (not even his Minuteman outfit)



I exited the app to eat dinner. Then, when I tried to check on my vault one last time before sleeping, I discovered that I couldn't get back into my vault! Right now, I can go to the loading screen but when I choose to "Enter Vault 949" it loads for a while and then crashes.

Please help! Thank you very much.

Sorry for the long post. Here's an abstract representation of a potato.

possible problems:

> out of memory? I have 10 other explorers out with Preston at the moment, and when I open the explorer screen it definitely lags for a second or two to load all of them. I also have 160 dwellers to load.

> bugs with new Preston/Laser? It was definitely the missing laser/untappable Preston that preceded the crash.

Have you tried rebooting your device? My save had a similar problem. Once I restarted my device, it worked alright.

My game didn't load either. So I erased everything and started from scratch. But now the game loads fine however it crashes about 15 minutes in.
