I'm not sure what has happened here and frankly the diagnostic and app data logs are fairly useless. Not Jetsam events, plenty of local free space - not sure what happened other than my son having a meltdown because his game randomly froze and he's lost data.
First and foremost, I am not a player of this game or desire to. I just need it to launch again so my son can play it. Any suggestions here are appreciated and I have an iTunes backup of the device.
iPad mini 2 (iOS 9.3.5 last supported)(I am aware there are newer devices, this is not OS related as the game has been playing fine on this OS for at least a year).
It appeared that something might have happened in the FAQ where the game might have been exited or someone pressed home during the game before saving and exiting. When pressing the home button to see what was running, I found the game running in the background but frozen. If I swiped to exit it and reload it, the title screen would appear and hang then return to the home screen. If I tapped the home button again however, one could again see the same screen - as if the game was running and went past the title screen than never loaded but is still frozen.
The only logs for this app in Diagnostics and App Dev Usage were specific to the app indicating that it was NOT a crash but that the app took to long to scene-create or something to that effect.
Annoyed, I decided to reload the device from a backup from a week back where the game did function for some time. This time, the title screen would show but again not load and once again return to the home screen. If I tapped the home button, I found the game was running the background but this time just the title as before. It's like it never loaded. WTH?
Out of sheer anger, I decided to delete the app and data all together. The app has been reloaded again from the App Store. The same behavior persists. Is there a means to force this app to start? I'm not getting any logs here that are helpful and I'm tempted to run it on Xcode.
