BanG Dream! Girls Band Party is a musical rhythm game available on iOS and Android devices. It is a fan favorite of Japanese culture, allowing popular J-Pop and anime songs to be played.

However, in the last few weeks, the players of BanG Dream! Girls Band Party have been suffering from an annoying crashing issue on Android that totally prevents them from being able to access the game.

This issue was reportedly resolved with an update, but in the end this was not the case, and complaints from affected players continue to surface. At least the cause of the bug has already been discovered.

BanG Dream! Girls Band Party crashing on Android

According to multiple reports, after a recent update on Android, the game crashes. This occurs mainly on the title screen. So, most of affected players can’t even log into the game (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

Some players report that the issue is only present in the international version of the game. If you download the Japanese version of BanG Dream! Girls Band Party, the crash does not happen.

An issue allegedly resolved, but reports continue

The game recently had a maintenance and received an update. This should have corrected the crash problem. However, complaints about it continue to surface.

To conclude, once new developments related to this issue emerge, we will add the pertinent information to this article.

Download ProtonVPN, and once downloaded, connect to a JP or SG server. While it may not work 100%, several people have reported it alleviating the crashing issue.
