Ahoy sailors!

Normally i wouldn´t ask for ANY Android game Support, but iam a huge Fallout fan so i tried out the new Shelter game for Android. I can install it, but then the loading Screen says "Download failed because the resources could not be found" => Any Workaround on this one? Did someone experience something like that in other games before?

Regards, Freeman

Works for me. Well at least the game starts and I can play the tutorial.

Björnträsket & Google Services installed.

Similar here. Runs under 1.1.7 with Google Play and Google Settings.

I also had this problem, you have to have the obb file for Fallout shelter placed in "android_storage/Android/obb/com.bethsoft.falloutshelter/". From what I understand this file is retrieved when you download the game from Google play (Which I don't have). What I did was to download the game on an android device and then I copied the obb file to my Jolla phone, this could probably be done with VirtualBox+Androidx86, Bluestacks or similar.

Runs fine for me. Did you install from Google play and are you running 1.1.7 since support for notifications may be relevant here. Also the Google play and Google settings which comes with Google play.

Thanks for the hint! Didn´t install the Google Play Services. @Vilkz I found the obb file ! You can even run the game with the obb file under Windows 10 !

Yep, works for me now, too, thanks!

Edit: Actually it doesn't work without Google services. I can start the game, but starting a vault I get a popup "This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone." Oh, well.

Wait a sec :-) You can run it without Google Play (i do now!). When the Google Play box appears, just tap anywhere on the Screen (works with every app that Shows such a box like the burger king application too). I had to do this twice, then the Screen was clear. Have fun !

Oh, you're right. I just closed the app when the popup with just the one button to get Google services came, I feel a bit stupid now. :)
