Game crashed as soon as I tried to enter a side quest in the wasteland. Now it keeps crashing everytime I try to load my vault. Paid for the season pass, now I can't even open my vault. Tried clearing the cache, the data, and uninstalled and reinstalled. Loaded my vault from the cloud and it keeps crashing. Multiple people have said the same thing, still no fix!

it's a great strategy and survival game, but the only problems are that once you get further in the game it is harder and not as fun. once you keep getting radscorpion attacks and alien attacks, you lose resources and it gets annoying because it is so constant. it is more fun in the early development of your vault than it is when you have 50+ dwellers, and it just becomes frustrating to play. if you like a challenge than it is good, its still fun to play when youre not getting constant attacks.

Played for a few weeks and got hooked! Amazing gameplay and keeps you interested. Long-time Fallout fan! Unfortunately, the day I spent $10 on this game is the last day I was able to play it. It now won't even open up past the loading screen. Have reset, uninstalled and installed again, clear cache, etc....Weird thing is....The SAME thing happened with their other game Castles. Played for a month and lost the ability to play the game on the SAME day I spent money. Extremely disappointed 😞☹️
