Crashing two or three times a day during battle

First let me say I have enjoyed playing this game bugs and all. I have been playing since March on an IPAD 2 running the latest IOS.
The game used the crash consistently, until I following the Nexon workaround to prevent crashes during battle:

1) turn off all sound etc.
2) exit game
3) make sure no other applications are running
4) enter game and start battle

Recently, since last Saturdays chat hack, my game has crashed during battle (and other times) even if I follow Nexons guidelines for preventing crashes.

The purpose of this post is not to complain to Nexon, (although I do wish they would fix the problem). I am interested in how many other players are experiencing
the same problem, what devices and OS are you using, and what types of troop composition do you take into battle. Hopefully this information will help Nexon fix
the problem.

Here is my data:

I play British, EA ( I just became EA Tuesday night)

7 Crashes since Saturday, ( I did not play on Sunday, other things to do :))

Crash 1: 95 Archers, 1 Tactic, 2 Rally Game crashed immediately after second Rally

Crash 2: 30 Raiders 1 Tactic 1 Rally Game crashed shortly after Rally

Crash 3: 4 Bombard 2 SC 4 HC 21 Archers 12 Archers (from Allies) 24 Ronin 1 Tactic 1 Rally Game Crashed after Rally

Crash 4: 4 Bombard 2 SC 4 HC 21 Archers 6 Pikeman 6 Archers 12 Ronan 12 Hand Canon 1 Tactic 2 Rally Game Crashed after second Rally

Crash 5: exit game to prevent crash, wait 2 minutes, was under attack, waited until attack finished, entered game, went to watch replay of attack
game crashed while attempting to watch replay of attack

Crash 6: 30 Raiders 1 Tactic 1 Rally Game crashed after Rally

Crash 7: 30 Raiders 1 Tactic 0 Rally Game crashed during attack

Other information: It appears the Apple IOS takes between 2 - 5 minutes to recover properly after I exit the Dominations game.
I exit the game to prevent a crash. If the dominations game crashes during play the Apple IOS takes 3 - 5+ minutes to recover.
while to Apple IOS is recovering, other apps to not function properly.

It also appears the more touches on the screen to scout enemy basis, Next to find an opponent, drop troops, tactics and rallys
make the probability of the crash much higher

I have also noticed that the great graphics probably are contributing to the crash rate. If I drop troops near a strongly defended position
where redoubts, cannon, towers and enemy troops become active at the same time the probability of a crash increases

I am concerned that if the crashes are due to the number of touches to the screen and / or the great graphics I will not be able to
play on my IPAD 2 any more, because when I upgrade my barracks and use the library troop upgrade I will get another 25 troops
which will cause the game to crash even more.

I usually attack 10 - 15 times a day so 2 crashes a day are 20% of my attacks, troop rebuild time depending on army composition is 16 - 40+ minutes now.
This will increase when I increase my barracks space.

attacks while I exit the game to prevent game from crashing during battle (LOL) occurs about 1 in 5 times.

I am reluctant to use the fully 40+ minutes army now because of the rebuild times and because when I exit the game for 40 minutes I know I will be attacked :-(

Moderators: Your overworked support team can just tell me Nexon knows about the problem but they cannot tell me if or when they will fix it. Maybe You can give
me more information :). They also tell me to check my internet connection, which is fine.

Also, it would be useful to provide a small cooling down period for those of us with Old devices who need to exit the game frequently to prevent it from crashing.

Please provide comments / criticism and more importantly fixes .

Thanks for taking the time to read this long post.

Running on iPad Air, was bombing out to the iPad home screen, and "next" or immediately the battle result screen was shown would dump me back at my base.

Read on a thread to power down and restart, did that a couple of days ago and it's not crashed to the iPad home since, only "Next" back to base happens.

BTW as you're just in EA, I assume you've got the Temple upgrading to get the training blessing, cuts army rebuild time down to nearer 5 minutes. It's the first upgrade to do in EA.

Thanks Eddie F1
I will try your solution, However, I would also like to get more information about game crashes so the development team can FIX the problem not give us workarounds.
I still get attacked when I exit the game to prevent crashes. When you exit the game to prevent crashes, how long do you wait before re-entering the game ?


BTW: I started the temple upgrade as soon as I became EA. I hope the training blessing is better than the extra troops I would get by upgrading
the barracks first. :)

thanks again for the feedback, I will try attacking Thursday and let you know if power down and restarting the IPAD 2 helps the crash problem.

Training blessing is much better than the extra troops/troop upgrades - it takes two or three weeks to upgrade the GP army you are stuck with - I switched to using mainly Dragoon Raiders as they can tackle the mostly EA/IA bases you get to see.

My complete reboot was probably the first for a month or so, and I've also updated iOS to 8.4.

When relaunching the game, I double press the home button, swipe everything out and start Dominations - seems OK so far. The other Bugs are probably in-game.

Same case as you, Ipad 2, British Enlightment. When I play for a certain amount of time the game crashes, and the only workaround is to close the app and relogin so my game won't crash that battle.

I'm on an iPad mini running iOS 8.1.2. My crashes have diminished, but only recently, and not due to any of the workarounds suggested (as listed in OP, but also including rebooting device often; I've been doing that for months, and only very recently seeing less crashes). When they do happen, and it did again last night on a great fat base, I lose 15 fire lance, 6 lancers and sometimes 6 raiders. I also feel the crash is likely to happen when the graphics are going wild (especially catapults) and I'm moving around the screen. I could do with a lot less animations if it meant no crashes- I'm limited in my time in game and re-gen time on bases I can wipe (saving the bulk of my troops) is infuriating.
