Game crashes after first mission

I love the computer version, but I just launched a game on this app and after the first successful abduction mission, the game crashes. I’m on iPhone 17, iOS 26.5.1, and the link to support says 403…

Crashes!

Great, great game. MAJOR issue is that for whatever reason and randomly, the game will crash out and exit itself after some successful mission.

As you imagine, VERY FRUSTRATING.

There is no way to recover, even if going back to a previous save.

Have to uninstall and reinstall.

NO!

I ended buying a cheap Windows laptop to play it that way.

Love it but there are bugs.

Wouldn’t let me move my guy even though he had 2 bars I had to restart. Tried reloading and overwatch but every time I hit accept it did nothing.
Also add controller support. Please at the very least fix the bugs.
