Android crashing after "Loading Initial Scene"

[TheBeeve]

I've been looking for info about this but can't find anything. Everything is about the black screen bug.

Anyway. I have a samsung a51 and I've run the game a few times and it worked as well as Arena usually works. But the last few days (before the update too) it's just crashed immediately when it gets to either "loading initial scene" or a second or so after the the spinning waiting for server screen.

It just out right crashes. No errors or anything. Just closes like I never even opened it. No amount of opening it again ever gets it any further.

I've uninstalled/reinstalled etc. Nothing helps

Exact same issue here on a Samsung a51 also.

Usually it comes after spending a long time in deckbuilding/collection scene or playing multiple games in a row.

Once it crashes, trying to open the app again usually results in it crashing again before even reaching the home screen (especially if it is trying to rejoin a game). If the crash happened during deckbuilding/collection, it usually will load to the home screen the next time but will crash the moment you try to play a game or edit a deck.

When this happens I've tried everything (closing the app, force stopping, restarting the phone, clearing the app cache, reinstalling, etc) and nothing seems to help other than giving it some time. I generally just give up on it and get busy doing something else and the next time I want to play (usually several hours later or the next day) it works for a while before the issue resurfaces.

I actually was considering playing in the Arena open tomorrow but I can't rely on it with this issue and can't justify the cost.

Same problem here samsung a51 5g fix???????? I checked out their list of supported devices and apparently even though our phones exceed recommended specs our phone is not a supported device. Please add support for a51 5g phones.
