Yeh, it's crashing for me on my ipod touch 16GB after about 1/2 way through a mining level. It seems to be after one of the tools is used. I can't remember which one it was, might even be multiple.

I love this game, I feel like an addict! However, I have had more trouble with the update then the original version. I am having crashes on loading as well as during mining. I too have lost many, many crystals ( yet, I still play. Now that is the mark of a seriously addictive game or a very pathetic me...). Unlike the old version, when I finally get the game running again, the crystals are gone - it does not resume like before. Also, during blueprint bulids, I can now select tools to help, but they never show up in the game like they do in mining. Still an awsome game though can't wait to see what's next!

Mine freezes every single time I play. I just leveled up too:-( I lost about 2,000 crystals earlier.

I have two situations to report. I have both an an iTouch and an iPhone which I picked up today. I first played the update on the iTouch and discovered that game would freeze in the mining section usually just before the completion of a level, In one case one of the tool icons froze on the screen and could not be removed. Eventually it moved to the top of the screen and no more blocks appeared. A simple restart cleared the problem but the periodic freezes in mining continue.
Once I had my iPhone I synced everything and started a game. At the point I started the game I had no G3 network service. I chose a new character and the game seemed fine. There were no freezes. I quit the game after completing a few levels and went back to it once the network service was in place. The game now will not get beyond the initial startup before it just quits. I removed the game from the sync list, uninstalled it and then reinstalled. I turned off Wifi and the game still quits just after it appears to start. There are many great improvements but on the iPhone it just does not work anymore.

Getting a bunch of random crashes. Can't load the game right at first, always needs a few attempts, often with a restart. Then, game is stalling and crashing to home during mining at around 1500 crystals. When I resume the game, I'm always at 957 crystals. Almost a Groundhog Day experience, actually. Plus I get crashes at about any point in the game. Do we know of any kind of a workaround? Turns out that the game is even less playable than the previous version (sorry to say). I still like the game but, at this point, I might simply give up, for the time being. Actually, would resetting my avatar solve those issues? Partly because of the crazy multiplier bug (and because it actually takes quite a while to level up), I'm not so sure I want to reset, anymore.

The game freezes for me when I reach the level up point.

Same Here. Crashes and when I try to reload. It reloads for abut 30 secs and then goes to home. Only way to get to work again is uninstall and reinstall

argh! This is getting really annoying. It seems to crash when I'm due to level up. Then when it resumes it goes back to the beginning and I lose all of my crystals! Danielle & Jason help the update has lots new great functionality but it's also a lot less stable

Finally got the update on the iPhone, played for about 10 minutes, and CRASH! Then the game refused to restart. Re-sync with iTunes did nothing. Restarting iPhone seems to have worked. OK off to attempt a blueprint...

I also get random crashes. I get a lot of them when exiting the mine. I try to exit mining ever few hundred crystals because mining crashes frequently. This seems to be a very unstable build.
I'm putting the game down until the stability issues are fixed. There is nothing more frustrating than crashing just before a level up and having to do it over again.

Thought crashes might be related to the sound effects setting on the device itself. Still getting crashes after changing this setting. So that's not it. It was far-fetched anyway. Also, I'm not seeing anything very consistent in terms of when crashes happen. Like others, I'm getting crashes either near level up or in the middle of a mining session. I originally thought it happened when some tool blocks had been used but the most recent crash I got was after a regular pop. As others have been saying, one thing which is really frustrating is that we lose something at each of these crashes. Sometimes, we lose quite a lot, actually. Such as 4000 crystals. In this case, the positive effects of the crazy multiplier bug kind of alleviates the negative effects of some of the other bugs. Going on a limb, here, especially since I'm not a coder, but the crashes "feel" like a memory leak of some kind. I'd assume that the development tools help in memory protection but it's still the kind of bug I expect from a program which has memory leaks.
Is there a repository for crash reports? I've also taken a few screenshots when crashes happened. For some reason, when the device stalls, taking a screenshot is the only thing I can do.

I'm seeing crashes only under one condition, and that is during mining when two tools are next to each other. At this point I get a hard freeze and I can only get out of it by pressing the home button.

Yes, I have to agree, the game seems FAR less stable than before the update. I am enjoying the game and find it intriguing, but I am going to have to give it a rest until you guys get all the bugs ironed out, I think ... I am just wasting too much time resetting iPod, losing crystals, etc. ... instead of just wasting time having fun. ;-)
I am also having the same old problem that I had before too, in that the loading page starts then crashes. BUT I have discovered how to remedy this ... I believe there must be some internet connection related bug here, because I have found that if I go to my YouTube channel, try to load a video, it won't load the first time, but after that I can get AF to load. Some sort of re-set occurring on the connection?

Add me to the list of those experiencing crashes / freezes while mining. And usually just before its about to level up. I think I've lost 7 - 8,000 crystals this way. Frustrating, I'm going to put this one away until there is another update. Great game but this bug is a real problem.
