Tips and tricks for when Candy Crush doesn't load

Do you know the Candy crush? Surely some of you are thinking "what a dumb question", right? That's exactly why I do it, because it is such a famous game that it doesn't need presentation. But that an application or game is very famous does not guarantee that it will be free of failures. A failure not very widespread but it affects some users of this famous candy-breaking title is one that prevents the game from loading and enter the main menu or just close as soon as you try to open it.

As we have just commented, although the Candy Crush is one of the most successful games of the App Store and other application stores, we are talking about an application like any other. This means that, unless the game has a problem in its code that has come after some update, much of what we will have to do to solve the problem that prevents it from loading is the same as we would do if the problem were given to us by any other application or game. Below you have several solutions that could allow you to play this great success of King again.

Candy Crush closes when I open it. What I do?

The answer to this question will depend on what has happened in the last hours.

  • Has the Candy Crush been updated? Although updates are usually released to fix bugs, sometimes it ends up bothering something on the other hand. If our problems have started as soon as we install a game update, the first thing we can think of is that the new version has come with a bug that, at least, affects us.
  • Have we updated iOS? Although any developer of any operating system tries to make the new versions work just as well as the previous versions, they don't always get it. That we experience failures after an iOS update is not so strange.
  • Do we have jailbreak and We have installed some tweak that could cause some conflict? Being in favor or against the jailbreak is everyone's decision, but there is one clear thing: the jailbreak exists because it allows us to make modifications that Apple does not allow us with the original software. Many of these modifications are not allowed because they can cause instability in the system, so it should not surprise us if the Candy Crush starts to fail us if we install a tweak of dubious origin or a not very skilled developer.

Almost any change in the software can cause conflicts but, as we cannot guess where the problem is, here you have several solutions presented in order of use that you have to try.

What to do if I can't enter Candy Crush

Force a restart

We have to keep this solution always in mind. People say that force a restart solves about 80% of small problems software, so I put it first, mostly because it is the fastest solution. We will force a restart by pressing the power off button + home button (or volume down on the iPhone 7 / Plus) until you see the apple.

Reinstall the game

With a normal Wi-Fi connection, reinstalling an application can be a matter of seconds. If forcing a restart has not solved our problem, the next thing we can try is to reinstall the Candy Crush. For this it is enough that we follow these steps:

  1. Touch and hold on the Candy Crush icon on the home screen. Be careful if you have an iPhone 6s or later because the icons will not start to shake if we press too hard.
  2. When the icons start to shake, we touch on the X that will appear near the Candy Crush icon.
  3. We confirm the elimination of the game.
  4. Now we open the App Store.
  5. We look for "Candy Crush" and play on the exact result of the game.
  6. Finally, we tap on the cloud icon with the down arrow to reinstall the game.

Make sure you are connected to the Internet

Some games may present problems if we do not have a good Internet connection. And not just some games; In fact, the App Store can also give us problems to download any application if our connection is poor, asking us again and again for the password of our Apple ID. What I usually do whenever I suspect that my connection has dropped or its quality has decreased is to use the Ookla Speedtest application. All we have to do is install the application, tap on "Start test" and wait for the results. If we see that the marker practically does not move, we can think that the Candy Crush is having problems because our connection is very poor. The solution to this will depend on the Internet service hired by each user. Even though One solution may be to disconnect from Wi-Fi so that our iPhone connects to the Internet through our data plan.

Update iOS and Candy Crush

If none of the above has worked, the next step we should do is what any developer recommends: use the latest version.

  • To check if we have any pending iOS update we will go to the Settings / General / Software update app. If there is any, we install it.
  • To check if we have any pending updates of Candy Crush just have the App Store and tap on the "Updates" tab. Although this may not be enough and the App Store may not show us a pending update directly, so I recommend touching the icon of the updates tab about 10 times very fast. So we will refresh the App Store, it will reload and, if there is an update, it will show it to us.

None of this has worked. What else can I do?

Well, if nothing discussed in this post has worked, I would recommend being patient and waiting for news. If the bug is relatively widespread, specialized blogs will find out, spread it and, at a minimum, the developer will find out and try to fix the bug. Another thing we can do is restore iPhone or iPad But, although it may be the solution, it is not the most common and may not be worth it.

Have any of the tips we have discussed in this post worked for you?
