Here’s the crux of the article in video form:

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on August 11, 2022) follows:

Tower of Fantasy is an open-world action RPG set in an anime-inspired post-apocalyptic sci-fi world. Players can explore an exciting open world and use unique characters to fight enemies.

Launched on August 10, the game is available on PC, iOS, and Android and is currently experiencing a rise in popularity.

However, Tower of Fantasy players are reporting that the game has been constantly crashing on PC and mobile (1,2,3,4,5,6).

When you launch the game and enter a server, a loading screen appears but crashes immediately after. This is not an anomaly as it happens repeatedly for many players.

This constant crashing causes players to lose progress in the game and has become quite an annoying issue.

Idk what anyone says Tower of Fantasy is fun! Sure it’s been crashing but the servers are overloaded rn so it’s bound to happen. If you don’t like it you don’t like it. If you do great! Just don’t be an ass about it

I’ve fully reinstalled on 2 different drives, ran as admin, allowed through anti-virus, used a vpn, and I still crash at the same part after launching the game every time. I click launch on the launcher, the game opens and begins loading, the bar at the bottom jumps and freezes at 33% every time then subsequently crashes. It’s likely not hardware or os issues. If anyone has an idea lmk

Many speculate that the potential reason for these crashes could be servers’ inability to cope with the rising number of players.

This is a common issue with many games that are launched with so much fanfare as players all around the world want to play them.

This also doesn’t seem to be a platform-related issue as players both on PC and mobile are currently affected.

Fortunately, Tower of Fantasy developers have admitted that their servers are facing high traffic due to which many players are unable to play the game. However, they did not share an ETA for a fix yet.

That said, we will keep an eye out on the latest developments regarding this issue and update this story as events unfold.

12:12 pm (IST): Responding to a player regarding the crashing issue on Tower of Fantasy, the support team asked them to make sure they have enough free storage on their device.

However, the crashing issue is also bothering those who already have adequate storage on their device. This suggests that devs are still unaware of the root cause of this issue.

This problem may be caused by your phone’s remaining space being insufficient to load the error message, please confirm your phone’s remaining space meets the official recommended requirement. If it does, please let us know what device you are using! Thanks! (Source)
