Experiencing the hourglass of death upon the home screen again

I'm having the same issue.  Google Pixel 6 running Android 14,

Ally code 215-191-163

Same problem, on a Samsung galaxy note 10+

Same issue after a little update. Galaxy S24 Ultra...

Same issue.
I've tried it on my two different Samsung phones (Galaxy S6 & A50) as well as an android emulator. Forced to close the app and reload.

It's as if there is a pop-up advertisement that is trying to load but cannot.

Same here and all guildies, returning to main screen from any part of the game triggers it...

All updates current, cleared cache, etc

Rathgar91 is right. It's the exact same issue as 2 weeks ago.

I think it was related to trying to load an advertisement (popup) for Exile Ezra Bridger iirc.

And now its probably related to an advertisement for Shin Hati (educated guess).

There should probably be a check in the code if the content is available before trying to show the content.

I restarted the game 4 or 5 times, doing a daily task on each restart, and the last time I launched the game it worked normally...
