I used to play this game constantly awhile ago. I even maxed out everything. However, for the past three years I've been trying to get it to work. The game just won't open. I have had three phone try to install this game and run it and it just gets stuck on the loading screen and refuses to run. This is like the fourth time on my new phone. Still the same results. I would love to rate higher for the fun experience it used to be, but now it's just gotten frustrating that I can't even play it.

Played for a few weeks and got hooked! Amazing gameplay and keeps you interested. Long-time Fallout fan! Unfortunately, the day I spent $10 on this game is the last day I was able to play it. It now won't even open up past the loading screen. Have reset, uninstalled and installed again, clear cache, etc....Weird thing is....The SAME thing happened with their other game Castles. Played for a month and lost the ability to play the game on the SAME day I spent money. Extremely disappointed 😞☹️

Edited- apparently even the devs don't understand the difference between "saved vaults won't open" and "I don't understand how to locate a save file" as I just got linked, again, with the instructions for how to "restore" (open) a saved vault- that is- do the exact same thing I've been explaining didn't work. If possible, I'd lower this to negative stars. I already uninstalled before I got this really frustrating reply that assumed /I/ was too dumb to open a flipping save file.

Please see the following help article for steps on how to properly restore your vault from the cloud: https://beth.games/3zHMD2p. Bethesda Customer Support does not have the ability to restore vaults.
