    Has anyone tried uninstalling the android update that seems to have caused this issue?

    This whole thing feels like a Thanos finger snap.

    So just wait 5 years and the Avengers will fix it for you. 8^)

    No steam, emulators, or other wizardry for me either. Five years of playing everyday, now... Hopefully in January?

    A member of my alliance did return after 6 days. He could use again an old phone.

    They linked my account to Steam (S22 Ultra user).

    I guess my issue is that if I'm already at my computer, I'm gonna play something that I can only play at home. I don't have that level of interaction with my teammates throughout the day that keeps me engaged

    Edit: 12/17 Update: We've now released R268 to Google, which fixes the black screen issue and should also fix any remaining issues with retaliation pin crashes! We've also submitted versions to Apple and Amazon so that versions match for all players that are playing multi-platform.

    Edit: 12/9 Update: Update: We have released R267 to Google! This is a partial fix however, we're still working with Google for a full fix. While our testing has shown that this fixes both crashes on startup and retaliation pin crashes, we've still got some devices that are crashing and are investigating. We'll keep on working on this through the weekend to get things right.


    Hi players. Wanted to let you know that we're aware of the black screen crash issue that's being reported by the community and that we have actively been working on a fix since we noticed it.

    The issue has been identified and a fix is in the works. Unfortunately it isn't something that we can easily relieve without deploying a new build so this means that Android players will see a new Android only R267 build that specifically addresses this issue. Assuming this build fixes everything, the next release will be build R268 for all platforms.

    We don't currently have a timeline for this fix, but are hoping things can get submitted and deployed within the next few days.

    Thanks again for your patience!

    Thank again for your attention to resolving this issue! As much of a pain it was for us players, it must have been doubly so for you!

    When I installed it on my tablet, I thought the game save data hadn't worked, but I quit and went back in and it was all there.

    Thanks to all those involved in getting this fix applied!

    I imagine they’ll be coming soon. Getting the issue fixed I’d think was a little more important than rolling them out when it still wasn’t working.

    Just guessing, but I think they'll get to those after making sure the fix is fully fixed....

    Try uninstalling and reinstalling first, but if that doesn't work, hit up CS. We can pretty easily recover the account.
