> [@Jeto](#): > > They will require a client fix it seems, waiting for information on any ETA for that fix releasing …quietly hoping that Switch’s delayed release means the fix (assuming by default that it’s _not_ platform specific) can be incorporated into it. ---

So far we can confirm that a hotfix will not be able to go out till after the weekend, as it requires new builds \> testing \> submission \> release This means we will not have anything further to update till we get through some of that process, meaning there will be no further updates till next week. Also, we have already asked about compensation but will not have further information until a fix is released but can confirm despite players not going through the full Victory screen animation, the rewards for those battles are being added to your account for the battle being completed. Lastly, Switch 8.1 has already been released I believe, about an hour ago - so they would also get the hotfix once it passes submission. ---

Also crashing on switch. I’ll try to get evidence. ---

Bramble mentions in the known issues article that you can avoid crashing at the end of a battle by letting the end of battle animations play out completely and by **not pressing anything** after the battle is won - until the rewards start scrolling through Not even clicking/tapping/pressing a button once to skip through an animation - just gotta let it play out Up to anyone not already on 8.1 if they want to avoid updating as long as possible, but it will get to a point where the update will be force-pushed out before the hotfix, as everyone needs to be on 8.1 first. As for the Vault event, I have asked but as it is so soon I don’t know that it can be adjusted, so I have also asked about a bonus Vault event. ---

Keep this weekend as is and give us a bonus weekend sometime soon. You’re the real MVP @Jeto!!! ---

If that’s accurate, it might explain just HOW a game-crashing bug managed to slip through testing into release. (Might not be as much of an issue for me, I treat the victory animation as non-skippable.) But at least it’s not last month’s Crowdstrike bug… ---

I just played for over an hour. No spamming A at the end of battles, and zero crashes. ---

If this vault weekend gets ruined because of the 8.1 update, the devs will have to take accountability for their actions. Compensation will most likely need to be given. Plain and simple. There always seems to be a mess to clean up. I know that you are working hard @Jeto, but the community is already on edge about new bugs getting introduced with every update. I don’t know what is going on over there, but we have all heard this tale one too many times. Enough is enough… ---

maybe instead extra vault event (which is unlikely) just “upgrade” the vault event that will be in 4 weeks. same as you did when there was the anniversary a few years back. increase spawn rate of gnomes 200-300 % for the vault weekend in 4 weeks. seems the easiest fix for me to compensate the people that can´t play / play less this upcoming vault weekend cause of the crash bug [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/fixed-game-crashing-since-8-1/85048.md?page=3) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/fixed-game-crashing-since-8-1/85048.md?page=5)
