Runs like crap on iphone 4S. Cant even get to play more than 5 minutes because the iphone kicks me out of the game.
It does this with nearly all apps so im not surprised either. Does this game takes that many resources really? or is it just that my iphone is crapping out.
EDIT Is running good now, not great, but at least it doesnt boot me out of the game after switching off the phone completly.
The game is amazingly fun and addictive.
EDIT 2 AND the fucking iphone rebooted again,

Come on. I'm sure most of these people are wondering whether there is an Android release and if there is, when are we expecting it. We're talking about a game that was just announced and released hours ago. Most people are not port begging but legitimately asking questions.
If there's port begging in the OT then bitch about it in there. Exclusivity for a fallout 'game' is shit.
On a related note, they're going to make a zillion dollars off this game, aren't they? Fallout 5 will be a sequel to this, won't it?

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Iphone4s is soon to be 4 years old. I'll guess its your phone starting to crap out.
This is probably the first mobile thread where i see so many people waiting for the game to drop impatiently rather than trashing it lol

Everything going great, 90% happiness and pretty good with resources. I found even a servor armour with high stats in one of the lunchboxes, have that and a 17 power flamethorwer in one of my explorers..
2 explorers are bringing some goods. All is well in shelter 757.
I understand, still makes me sad i payed 500 fucking euros for this thing, that was a lot of money
At least 4 years is more than what the majority of phones in my family last.

Holy shit, you ain't kidding.
Ohhh cool, that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the info!
Don't be rude and just ask gently the OP to update his post.

OP and title should be updated to reflect it being iOS only for now.
wrong thread.
wrong thread.
Had the same thing on my 4S as well. Game kept crapping out till I switched off/on the phone again.
All is well again... so far.

Can't play it either on my iPad (3), really annoying since I enjoyed it a lot and was finally able to sort out all needs in Vault 114...

I'm not sure what you expect when they made it look like they were leaving 80%+ of their fans behind.
All they had to say to prevent this is:
"Available tonight on the AppStore, and launching on the Play Store in a few weeks time"

People, baby's appear after 3 hours of pregnancy. They stay kids for another 3 hours, thay cant do anything as kids, but count as people in the vault to unlock more rooms.
It does boot me out of the game most often than not, but no0w I can play 10 minutes intervals instead of 3.
Wait, I thought Ipad 3 was good enough for this games. Is ipad 3 also that old?

Or maybe before flipping lids and cancelling Fallout 4 pre-orders, people could take a breath and see what the situation is. Crazy thought, I know.

I don't know what he's talking about. It address the Android issue in the OP.
.
I can't believe people are complaining that some form of timers exist in this game. It's like none of you, complaining about that, play videogames.
What you're concerned about is timers that can be gotten around with money, big difference.

I'm not vouching for everyone's behavior. Cancelling your pre-order for this is a bit extreme in my book, when it has no tie in to the proper game.
I'm saying that these sort of reactions should have been anticipated by Bethesda and they should have covered their bases, like they did with the Pip-Boy app. They made sure to say that it was going to be there, day one on both iOS and Android. If they had an Android version on deck for Fallout Shelter, they should have said so during the conference, even if it wasn't going to be out at the same time.

Got a pimp special dweller from my pack and he impregnated all five women in my vault.
9c with pimp gear on makes the ladies sway.

Considering one of the main talking points was that it wasn't the usual F2P garbage with timers, I can see why people are annoyed.

Not had the chance to play it yet, but what features include waiting on timers? The only one I recall being said to be instant is building new areas.

Well everything played somewhat smoothly until I closed it down after an hour or two. Since then I haven't been able to start it again, only comes to the please wait sign then it crashes. I'm not sure if it is because of the pad, might just be a bug or similar. The iPad 3 is a bit over 3 years old, but the processor is way better than the 2 and should be able to handle this
this.

The game is definitely janky on an iPhone 4S. It's playable but not ideal.
Will most likely hold out for Android version.

Yea 4S is rough hope they can patch it to run better for us lowbies
hope they can patch it to run better for us lowbiesI haven't encountered anyone actively not doing a job unless there is an event happening. From what I can tell, it seems like it doesn't speed up until the next time the counter starts over (after you've harvested whatever resource it is). This game could stand to offer more info in game.

I just had a raider raid in few hours of playing, 2 males and 1 female. Luckily no one died because no one had weapons. Only manage to beat up 1 female then later it was just running around the rooms. In the end they just retreated. Should I be worry about my dweller exploring in the wasteland? Log says someone is following her.

This might have been asked, but can I get rid of the people outside my vault? They all have crap SPECIAL and I don't want them, but I can't see any way to send them away.

I think the pregnant ladies in my vault are bugged. The most recent one to become pregnant already gave birth, but the ones that came before are still chilling in the diner after an entire day. Lol
Yeah, it happens sometimes. Fixes itselves, don't really know how and when.
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
So,
do rads affect happiness or something? My overall happiness in the vault dropped from 98 to like 9. I am thinking of starting over.
I can't seem to get the extinguished fire achievement either. Despite extinguishing many a fire.

The crashes finally wore me down. I just uninstalled the game.
I mean, it's plenty fun and while it's clearly P2W it's not being obnoxious about it. No complaint there, fleece those sheep as much as you want if it means I get to play a game for free (insert evil laugh track here). And it's a fun game, no doubt. Only the technical side is pretty damn embarrassing.
I just can't stand the constant crashes anymore, they exacerbate the loading times - and then there's the most important grievance: bugs.
I've had roaches clear out half of my base because one apparently became nearly invincible. I've had raiders attack and devastate my base while the app was closed. I've had pregnant women stay pregnant for extended amounts of time despite there being enough slots for new dwellers. I've had one kid stay a kid for well over six hours. I've had one Dweller vanish completely. Dwellers that refused to go where I dragged them and that got stuck between the lift and a room. Fires that would not go out. There is just no end.
Finally, the crashes cause some of your actions to roll back, so you're basically constantly repeating the same actions if a part is particularly crashy (e.g. several childbirths and other events at the same time). That gets old very quickly.
I'd probably still be torturing my poor Dwellers if it weren't for the Bethesda levels of polish. It's a fun game, and free to boot. However, I'd probably implode in a tiny ball of rage if I "played" any more of this. This is not good for my stress levels.

Plus, let's be honest here, the tutorial sucks and mentions at best half of what's important. The way you set up your base when you're following the tutorial means you basically have to scrap and rebuild some rooms at a later date.
