The Unofficial Game Bug, Glitch, or Crash Report Thread

Post » Sat Feb 13, 2016 6:43 pm

iOS 8.3 and 8.4, iPad Air 2



I've played 2 different vaults, now. I've experienced so many bugs, it's hard to list them all:


* Lost lunchboxes on crash -- this was the big one that I went to Apple customer service for reimbursemant


* Permanent "bad mood" in rooms where someone has died but either been recovered or removed (destroyed the room and rebuilt it)


* Permanent pregnancy (haven't found a way to fix this)


* Unselectable characters, rooms or menus (need to restart game)


* The first vault I played crashed every 5-10 minutes before I restarted the device. Now I just quit out and kill the game by hand if I'm playing for very long.



I'll be waiting for a patch before playing any more. If I ran into the unkillable raider or roach bug, I'd be pretty pissed. It's a fun little timesink when it works, but it needs a lot of love.

iOS 8.3, iPhone 6+



Been playing since launch. Current status of the game:



107 Vault Dwellers


36 Rooms


32 Unopened Lunch Boxes


9 Wasteland explorers


2015/07/5 03:48 Last Save




Experienced more frequent crashing corresponding to increasing vault dwellers, and laggy loading of wasteland text, but usually able to restart the game and recover.




The game currently crashes constantly, and reverts back to the last save. I've figured out that it CRASHES EVERY SINGLE TIME IT TRIES TO AUTOSAVE, kicking me back to the iOS home screen with the game still running in the background. Thus far, I've managed to replicate the crash on certain actions:



1. Tapping on Main Menu - CRASH! This action triggers the game to autosave


2. Opening a Lunch Box - CRASH! This action triggers the game to autosave before the four cards are revealed


3. Rushing a room - does not crash


4. Collecting resources - does not crash


5. Opening wasteland and loading wasteland text - laggy, but does not crash


6. Accepting dweller progress e.g. SPECIAL stat increase, level up etc - does not crash


7. Doing NOTHING for ~5 mins - CRASH! Game triggers autosave



Effectively quitting the game until this is fixed - too much time spent on that vault.

I've had the same exact problem. I did the same actions and had similar results for initiating a crash.

Welp. I have to put the game on the shelf for now. My primary vault now refuses to load at all. Just crashes every single time. :(

Apple iPad Mini MD531LL/A


IOS - 8.4 (12H143)



I can't get past the loading screen without the game crashing. It simply won't load anything. I was playing the game before on my 5s without any problems other than the screen being too small so I decided to get the game on my iPad and then bought (stupidly) the 40 lunchboxes during the July 4th discount period. I used a few of them and then it seemed like the game started having problems and would crash and slow down a lot. Now it simply won't load at all. I am going through iTunes to try and get my money refunded. I was to like this game so much but it is just way too unstable (just like Fallout New Vegas). I wish Bethesda would bother to take the time to deal with the bugginess of their games because I think if their games were bug free or even just significantly less buggy they would be my favorite games out there.

I called Apple Support and they gave me a full refund. Just an FYI for anyone out there.

Besides experiencing various issues already reported (stuck pregencies, etc) I've seen the following:



- Sawed-off shotguns sell for 100c rather than 10c


- Wasteland explorers that find a rare/legendary outfit that is gender-specific will equip it, but will show up with civilian clothes if they're the wrong gender.

I noticed when defending the vault entrance with two people armed with gatling lasers, they just run about and don't actually fire their weapons but still defeat the raiders okay.

Apple iPad Air

IOS 8.4


Yes I've restarted multiple times.


I can no longer enter my vault, my game crashes upon loading my vault. I have 200 dwellers and have purchased lunch boxes.

Please fix it! I don't want all of my dwellers to die in the wasteland :(

I, like others have a similar problem. The game attempts to open then crashes back to main screen. I'm running on iOS 8.3 on a Apple 6s . I was totally digging the game. I've rebooted several times with no change. I do not want to reinstall and lose my progress. Please fix it, or at least let us know you're aware and working on it.

iPad 2 64GB, iOS 8.3



I loved the game until today...



I got svckered into the sale on the 4th, and now I've lost probably 10+ lunchboxes to crashes. I have 40 Dwellers and I cannot get into the game without a crash as soon as I try to collect any kind of resource.

ipad 2, fully updated to iOS 8.4


Bought 40 lunch paks, and got to 30 dwellers, now I can't even open my app. Please fix!!!! I love this game!



I have tried: checking for updates, restarting, and everything short of deleting and re-installing the app. I definitely am not going to do that though, since I just purchased those vault lunch paks.

Were the lunch boxes bugged in some way because I purchased 40 for $9.99 and I lost my precious vault 815. :( However my friend also had the app and didn't purchase any and it is still running smoothly. For those of us who where svckered into buying may just have bought ourselves a new temporary vault. Hopefully, gamesas, you're able to fix this bug before all of those suffering from the bug don't need to waste their caps on the dead dwellers.

Unable to launch game anymore after a crash. As soon as I click on the app icon, it tries to load the app then it crashes and kicks me out of the app. Rebooting iPad, shutting iPad off then on did not help



Reached the max 200 Dwellers, ~28 Out in the wasteland, spent $19.99 on the in app purchases.



iPad Air 2 128GB, IOS 8.4 Game Center ID: "(<-airrun-<)"



Very disappointing, I hope there's a bug fix for this and I don't lose all my work.

Same thing here. App Dev Running iOS 9 beta 2 on my iPhone 6+. Only issues after my purchase on the 4th. C'mon Bethesda let's get a patch on this thing eh?

Apple iPad Air


I agree with what's been said about the bigger the vault the more crashes. I have 200 in my vault and the crashes are more frequent. My second vault is new and doesn't crash anywhere near as much - normally only on rushing rooms. I mostly get it on rushes or sending people to the waste in my bigger vault.. Also lots of lag on waste text when first loading.

Have an iPad 4 or 5 not sure. My bug is that my resources don't drain (sounds great but makes other stuff not work and makes game boring), can't send dwellers out into wasteland they just take whatever radaways or stim I gave them and lose them and start to wander the vault, happiness doesn't rise even if they are in correct room and I have dwellers working the radio, and the timer for daily happiness check doesn't go down unless I am actively playing, game doesn't seem to realize when I haven't played for a few days. Tried everything to remove issue except uninstalling game (yes that means resetting the app and letting the power run out in the iPad). If it's not fixed going to remove and not play (in other words, no intention to restart with a new vault).

My only bug (now) is that all my women are preggo but none are delivering any babies!


I know it's caused by deleting that original living quarter. Please fix as they remain preggo and is quite useless (they cannot go to the wasteland and of course the population remains the status quo)

I am running 8.1.2 (12B440) on my iPad Air 2.

I have attempted a soft reset. I have made purchases and will not uninstall/reinstall because I will lose them.


My bug:

I launched the game after not playing for about a day and started to receive in all my resources by clicking on the various rooms. I clicked on the radio station last to receive my new dweller. The dweller I received was a child (boy). I spent about 30 seconds maybe trying to move him into the vault but I could not pick him up. Then raiders attacked. I saw the boy start to run as the raiders barely made it on screen and the game crashed...I now cannot launch that vault. I can launch vault 123, a previous vault I started, without issue. It is just my vault 519 I cannot launch. I have tried to launch the vault several times over a couple days now. It is a bit disheartening to see so many bugs and not see someone else with the same bug as me. BUT! I am fully confident you guys will continue to remind us Bethesda is the best by your ability to solve these issues.


P.S. I am losing my freaking mind in excitement for F4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you

I'm on iPod 5 iOS 8.4

when I'm playing it just crashes this happens more often after a birth or rush(whether it succeeds or fails doesn't matter) and if it crashes it takes about twice as long to load
