Game freezes trying to collect people from wasteland
After the latest update I have some problem collecting dwellers coming back from the wastelands. Basically I click on the dwellers lined up outside and the game HUD disappears, but no dweller sheet comes up. The game is going on, but I cannot do anything, like pan or select any other dweller. The first time this problem occurred to me I closed the game entirely and then the problem was solved, but this second time the issue is not solved this way... I even tried to reboot the phone, with no luck.
Anyone else is experiencing something similar? And what would you try to solve the problem?
Best Answer
On Android - press the back button, then click on the dweller again.
Selecting dwellers will work fine until you close the game.
This bug has been fixed in version 1.2.1

Answer 2
For Android, users have reported that swiping from off screen and then pressing the Android "back/undo" context button usually resumes the game.
This happens on IOS, too. The only solution I've found is to close the app by double clicking the home button and swiping the app up. However, trying to select dwellers actually standing outside the vault always reproduces the bug. The work around is to either click on the wasteland and scroll through wanderers until you reach the dwellers who've returned, or to use the dweller menu. This incidental allows you to get around the 10 wanderer limit.
