Game (3.1) crashing on mobile/Android. Problem & Solution (seemingly):
PROBLEM:
- Game crashing after short time when playing on my Note 2 phone with 4.4 Android.
- After crashing, the program will not start again.
- After restarting phone, the GoW-icon is replaced with a gray android-icon with the characters “SD” on it, and when clicking on it, it says program is not installed. Also in Google Play it now says the program is not installed.
- If I close GoW before it has crashed, at first it looks OK. But after restarting phone, the icon has changed again etc, see point 3).
- I reinstall GoW again, and everything repeat from point 1). I did this about 5 times. Keeping all settings on lowest, don’t change anything.
- Then, after installing, I made sure to actively deinstalling the game, before installing again. That meant that the game lost its linking to my main PC-account (i.e. starting over as a new account). But everything still crashed as explained over. I tried this twice.
SOLUTION:
GoW was automaticly installing on my SD card, and I decided to try to move it over to the internal phone memory:
From the Android Settings, I went into the “Application Manager”, and clicked on the “SD CARD”-tab. I scrolled down to “Gems of War”, which had a green mark meaning it was installed on the SD card. I clicked it, and clicked on “Move to device storage”.
So far this seems to have fixed my problem.
