Happened 3 times on Saturday or Sunday where even changing difficulties would freeze the screen. Medal rewards are new. Have to shut down the game by closing the app.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Just started happening the past 3-7 days. NEVER saw anything like this when playing for years prior.
Steps to make it happen again
It’s random and is probably a biproduct of explore being overloaded with splash screens.
My sister started having explore freezes/crashes today, that had never happened before, so it’s good the fix is on the way as it seems to be spreading…
I think this bug was assumed to be tied to the ancient explore bug. I tried to explain in the OP that it was a different newer soft crashing bug. But didn’t want to argue with the devs when they said this would be fixed in the last update.
Sure enough…I was right.
The game just froze on me when trying to change the difficulty in Pridelands explore and then soft crashed.
I’ll clear the cache and probably won’t see the bug again for a while, but then a programmer smarter than me will tell me the cache shouldn’t have anything to do with it but then they can’t tell me why Gems of War consistently crashes on all devices.
Gems of War… My favorite time loop genre game.
@OminousGMan I don’t know how often you check reports after you think they are done. So tagging you to let you know this bug is still active.
