Stuck at loading,decompressing, attempting to restore, decompressing, attempting to restore

I'm not sure when it happened but sometime with the last few days, My colony has started not letting me open the game. All of my local saved games can't be loaded, even the ones backed up online, there was an Android14 update, plus the bug fix release. In my attempt to troubleshoot the game, I started a few new colonies, and got the same error, however, today I keep seeing an error that may be the clue. I'm getting a compression error trying to auto save, maybe android 14 changed the compression scheme during the update ?.

I'm trying to figure out how to load previous versions of the game, but haven't figured that out yet. Any help?

Ok, reset my tablet, game loads until the latest android update runs, then it starts doing the uncompress loop

I am looking at the error logs for the most recent version of the game, the only thing I am seeing a lot of are out of memory errors, probably happening when the game is trying to decompress the save file. I wonder if the latest Android update added some kind of new memory usage cap for apps?

Im having the same issue currently. Whenever i load a colony my game says 'save compression error'. The game will run but wont allow me to direct the bots to the tasks i need them to.

I am also having the same issue, same thing with the bots as tbwner, I went back to my old phone to see if it worked and it did fine.

It's definitely something in the latest android update.. when I reset my pixel, it plays until the last android 14 update hits.

Then it says, failed to open game for current games,


And because of the encryption error it never saves new games.


I can send you my pixel tab if you want.. can't give up the pixel phone
