Players of the popular mobile game Homescapes are facing significant issues with loading the app following a recent update. Many users have taken to social media platforms such as Reddit, Facebook, and X to express their frustration, reporting that the game either fails to load past the splash screen or gets stuck after displaying “updating 100%.”
A quick glance at the subreddit r/HomescapesOfficial or the Facebook group Homescapes Fans & Friends reveals a wave of similar complaints. Users like u/Lazy_University115 and u/zmeikei share that their game remains unresponsive after multiple attempts to launch it. Similarly, players Sharon Morrison and Rose Wallace have reported trying various solutions, including restarting their devices and reinstalling the game, yet to no avail.
In a particularly frustrating account, player Meredith Ruth mentioned that she uninstalled and reinstalled the game three times, only to face the same frozen screen each time. Many users have even resorted to sharing screenshots on X, illustrating their predicament with the loading screen.
Temporary Workaround Offers Glimmer of Hope
Despite the widespread nature of the issue, some players have found a temporary workaround that may allow access to the game. According to Sonia Lowe Douville, a moderator in the Homescapes Fans & Friends group, users can try activating airplane mode, ensuring both Wi-Fi and cellular data are turned off, and then launching Homescapes. If successful, players should immediately navigate to the Expedition section. Once inside, they can reconnect to their network and attempt to access team chat.
While not a permanent solution, some users have reported success with this method. Player Chris Kenney indicated that this trick provided a way back into the game, although it requires repeating the process each time. Others, like Mary Carroll, found that restarting their Android phone was necessary after using the workaround. Still, many users experienced setbacks with even the best tips proving ineffective.
As of now, the developers of Homescapes have not publicly addressed the loading issues. Players are encouraged to remain patient while waiting for an official statement or fix. Updates regarding this situation will be closely monitored, and further information will be shared as it becomes available.
