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!

The game is fun, but it leans very heavily into paying into the game to feel like you're making progress. I didn't mind spending a few bucks supporting the game until it became clear that they are dishonest about how points are used/ costs. I noticed this especially in the battle pass. It said it would cost 10 Nuka Cola to advance, but then proceeded to use 18 of them.

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.
