Just upgraded the game to v62 and now it will not load in my Bluestack Instance. Using the default 32bit instance the game hangs on the Small Giant loading screen and in other Bluestacks instances such as Pie64 and Android 11 the loading screen is corrupt as is the screen when you first click on an offer. The game aslo just crashes but the the bluestack instance home screen.
Problems persist after updating to latest version of Bluestacks
Wondering if anyone else is using Bluestacks and having similar problems
Actually the problem is present on v61.0.2 already. It ran just fine on v61.0.0 but since I received the v61.0.2 update (haven’t received v62.0.0 yet personally), the app stays stuck on the Small Giant loading screen too.
Running with 64-bit Nougat Android under BlueStacks 5 with Hyper-V.
Well, I updated my BlueStacks 5 and it’s even worse. I tried on both Nougat 64 (Android 7) and Android 11 VM (the Android 11 VM being brand new, just freshly installed) and both just completely crash when I start the Empires app, not just the app freezing like before (only the app froze before, the Android system was still response, was still able to minimize the app and do other things) or having a corrupted screen like you. Just totally crashes the VM…
EDIT: I tried many different combination of settings. Even recreated the Android 11 VM multiple times to play with the ABI settings (this one cannot be changed on the fly, need to create a new VM to change it) to have ARM32 only or ARM64 only but still no luck, keep crashing when opening the app. I got the following line in Bluestacks logs:
I use nox player android 9 and i’ve never faced any lags
Some rare crashes maybe,i dont care about nox disabling the firewall though.
i have a pretty strong pc gamer
Try Memu otherwise
Bluestacks eats much ram and tends to slow the pc
After trying a few more options I found that creating a new Bluestacks instance based on Android 11 and setting the graphics and interface renderer to DirectX seems to resolve the problem for now.
If you are playing on many devices and the game is asking to update to the last version (build 2085) and this build is not availble in google play, then download and install the apk from apkpure for instance.
