FIXED: Encountered an error and must close

[jellyninja69]

Hey guys. I can't launch the game, it just gives me the error: "fallout shelter has encountered an error and must close"

I've tried updating drivers, reinstalling the game, verifying game files etc but I can't launch the game. Does anyone know of any possible fixes? Thank you in advance

Edit: got in contact with the tech support which you can find through steam. Been emailing them for a couple weeks now troubleshooting everything. It ended up being cause I had a program called 'citrix' on my computer which may sometimes interfere. Uninstalled it and was able to play.

The PC version hasn't been updated in months and will no longer be updated since they are no longer supporting the PC version

The poster means hasnt been updated in years... not months.

Turn off steam cloud as it causes this issue over and over for folks playing this game. No need for it since the mobile version is many patches ahead of this PC game.

I've had a similar issue to this. I fixed it by searching up a guide where they changed the current game file to the back up save file.
