automatic crash when loading games

Post by DistroyerOfWorlds » Fri Aug 14, 2015 5:38 pm

just yesterday my Pokemon white game was working but then i try to load the game anew and it wont let me, i have tried to reinstall drastic but the crash keeps happening. it keeps crashing to the drastic main menu, whenever i try to start any game, whether it be Pokemon or new super Mario brothers, drastic refuses to load the ROM. i am currently running on r2.4.0.1a and i have a moto g 2013. i do not know if this is happening to anyone else but its very annoying. i assumed it to be a broken savestate, but i have tried to download new games and it wont run them.

What file type are the ROMs? (e.g. .nds, .zip, .rar)

You can also find me on Reddit (u/Ericbazinga) and Discord (in the DraStic Discord server). You'll find me in those places almost daily and here almost never.

Do you get any error message when it crashes? If so, does it let you report the crash?
Did you install or update anything on your device?
Can you try to just reboot it?

The files I use were .7z which worked and .zip which also worked

There is no crash report in the drastic files nor will it let me report them, I have clean master on my phone though if that helps which constantly updates

Just an update I have tried to find out why it has been like this, I tried to delete some apps and that hasn't worked

I do remember something that clean master had deleted something from the drastic folder ( I think it was the unzip cache) and since then it has not worked, I have tried to restore it and it still won't work,

You can try to delete everything from the 'DraStic' folder except the 'savestates' and 'backup' folders, then restart the app.
