The 'freeze' problem is fixed by not clicking on the person, click on the top left icon instead.


I had 12 dwellers in the wasteland, maybe it caused the problem ? (this version limited number of explorer in wasteland to 10)

Same problem. It freezes for me, as soon as I try to choose a dweller in the wasteland, no matter if they are exploring, returning or waiting.


Great update,my game is unplayable now.



SkyHiRider from the forums here has a trick to go around this problem, select the dweller, hit the android back button and select it again.

Exact same issue, tap on a returned vault dweller and whole app crashes.

Same here, but no crash or freeze.. The game just continues to run in the background, more like as if it were in an menu... But no menu


Fresh reinstall and moving over the savegames didn't solve

That's what happened to me a couple of times after the v1.2 update. I tap on a returned dweller, the interface disappears, I can't scroll or interact anymore and I have to kill the app.



Tapping on the wasteland instead seems to do the trick for me.



(I have about a dozen explorers, and 111 dwellers in total.)



EDIT: Additional information:
What phone/tablet model are you using? -> Samsung Google nexus 10 tablet
What OS are you currently running (including version #) -> Android version 5.1.1
Did you delete the game and reinstall it, or just update over the old build? -> update over old build
If you updated, did you manually update it, or allow the store to auto-update it? -> I manually initiated the update through Play Store -> My Apps -> Fallout Shelter -> Update

About the same nummers... Are yours all lvl 50 and full 10/10 SPECIAL too?....


I've tried updating to Android 6.0 (marshmallow I think it's called now?), but the problem remains. Tapping the wasteland does nothing for me.

Not all of them. Most are lvl 50. About a dozen 10/10 SPECIAL.

In line with the http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1539214-reporting-an-issue/:




In an effort to better investigate issues, please make sure you include the following information when posting in these forums.

1)What phone/tablet model are you using?

2)What OS are you currently running (including version #)

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

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


1) LG (Google) Nexus 5 32gb

2) Was 5.something, now 6.0 (Marshmallow)

3) Updated and reinstalled

4) Let the store do it.


Elaboration on points 2 and 3 in short:

First let the store auto-update the file, "freeze", remove, install, "freeze"

Then system update to 6.0, run, "freeze", remove, install, "freeze"

Also, no problems on new vault (yet)

Finally, nagging on this forum.


Hopefully devs actually read this :D

Apple iPad Air 2

Version: 9.0.2 (13A452)

Auto update over old build.


Got visited by a dweller, gave me 5 lunch boxes. In the lunch boxes were additional dwellers, but I am at 200 dwellers already. I see the gear, top left with 200+3. I also have dwellers returning from wasteland, but when I select to first dweller, I get a quick screen that tries to come in from the right, then lose all menus and game freezes. I can't interact with any dweller. I have to home button out of game and swipe it off screen to close, before getting back in. As long as I don't touch dwellers outside vault door, I'm fine to play. Have tried selecting dweller from Dweller Gear, but same thing, lose menus and freezes. Have over 20 dwellers in the wasteland, that can't get in. Tried touching Mountains - no joy.

My vault seems to have its normality drive restored (I think)...

Here's what I did:

-enable cloud saving (load vault list and check the tab)

-open vault

-play around a bit

-sent off a couple dwellers to the wasteland

-restarted game

-load vault (checking savedate/time)

-muck about some more in the vault (the Mysterious Stranger is EPIC, but useless when at 999,999 caps)

-suddenly a pop-up menu saying something about what's new.. Tapped OK

-Tapping somewhere in the wasteland gave me the menu for reviving a dead explorer.

-Revived and used the arrow in top right corner to cycle to the waiting dweller

-tapped collect


I hope this helps a bit!


On a side note:

My old 45 second-crash vault is still doing exactly that though, not sure what gives but that's for another thread.




EDIT

Nope... It. Did. Not. Work. Dangit.... Back to the drawing board.

If you get this wasteland "freeze, you identify which Dweller is causing the issue, tap on the Wasteland, then switch Dwellers left or right until you find that that Dweller. From there, the you can collect their items and return them to their Vault.

Yes. Only problem is, that ik keeps doing this for every next dweller.. Or is this just because I have more than 10 dwellersin the wasteland (also at he time of the update)?

Hi,


I have the exact same issue : I have like 3 or 4 dwellers exploring outside, and now, when one dweller come back from expedition and wait outside the vault, if I click on him to collect his stuff and assign him to a room, it just freezes : I click on him and nothing happen, the game just freezes totally and nothing can be done except quitting the game........... It happened for all the explorers I sent outside since the update...


I just posted a post about this issue :


- my phone is LG G3S (1go Ram),

- Android Lollipop 5.0.2,

- updated the game manually on the Google Play Store by cliking "update" on Fallout Shelter.



Also, now I experience some minor bug that I never ever had experienced before : sometimes a dweller in a room is freezing while he is running : so he is infinitly running at the same spot... While the other dwellers of the room are in working process. I don't know if it affects the working process of the room or if it's just an 'animation bug' but it happen since the update sometimes.


And the spy we click on is a little buggy sometimes : I find him, I click on him but it's like the hitbox doesn't respond to my click (especially when I'm in extended view) so he end up disappearing and it frustrates me because I FOUND this [censored] lool. It's a very minor bug that happens not frequently. The worst issue is the FREEZE PROBLEM WITH DWELLER COMING BACK FROM THE WASTELAND !!! Make the game unplayable !! Please correct iiiit !!!!!


Thank you

A quick fix on the user side is pulling down on the screen and tap the "back button" (on my device a triangle). Then try again and it should work.

Hope this helps a bit...

Hum thanks I will try this for the freeze issue, but I'm sure I've tried it when it happened the first time, and it did nothing. I will try it again next time and will let you know if it works for me.. For now I do what the admin advice to do : tap on the Wasteland and select the dweller from the list of people exploring and collect from there instead of clicking on the dweller waiting outiside.


But it's a temporary solution, we need an update...

I think it might be temporary. Because the last couple times it happened, it was with explorers that -were- 100+ hours away. So maybe only dwellers that were already out in the wastes before the update....


Some dwellers that came in (some that I sent out recently) work like they should...

For me it was new dwellers sent outside after the update, and they were like 3 or 4 max.
