Android, Game crashes mid-battle

Bug Reports
1

** Mobile: Android 7.0, LG-M327 **

Sorry, no screenshots can explain the problem.

What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
I was mid-battle and the game just crashed, the screen went black, the home screen of my phone was now visible. No freezing, no warning, just caput. At first, I thought maybe I was hitting my home button after a swipe to reveal the home and back buttons, but this is not the case.

How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
It has been happening for about a week or two. It can happen after five minutes of play or an hour of play. It is not consistent. It happens in all kinds of battles, not just one event type. I was in the middle of my guild war today and I was just about to win the 4th battle when the game crashed, causing me to lose the battle. It has crashed while treasure hunting and all other battle types as well.

Steps to make it happen again
The only clue I can give is to play the game.

This just happened to me on iOS. I made a match, and the game froze and crashed mid-cascade.

It was, of course, during a Guild Wars battle. Amazingly, it did not count as a loss. See edit below

Edit: hey, a collision with another Gems of War bug! After restarting the game, I saw two victories, no losses, and three battles remaining. Once I won the Guild Wars battle, the Attack! screen showed three victories, one loss, and one battle remaining. Paging @Kafka because this is a delightful mix of bugs that I had never encountered prior to 4.3: mid-game crashes combining with delayed updating of key UI info.

Hello Jenks and @Grundulum!

it would be great if you could please reach out to support here and let us to know how the troubleshooting steps have affected this issue: https://gemsofwar.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000659555-Reinstall-Gems-of-War-on-iOS-Android-and-Amazon - for Jenks in paritcular.

I’ve passed on your crash report in the meantime, grund, but I wouldn’t assume it’s related at this point.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I think this crash report might be helpful to whichever staff member looks at it. My normal crashes are thread 0, and happen during game startup. This one happened mid-cascade, with a reported crash of thread 5–the Unity graphics handler.

Do you want me to open a support ticket as well? I have reinstalled the game multiple times since 4.3 came out.
