Just wanted to add that my wife plays on her android phone, we both downloaded the 1.2.13.54 update from yesterday and she is able to play just fine.
There are no added programs or mods or anything like that to either our accounts.
Thanks for your time.
I sincerely hope this is a bug bc we were not even by a fortress but a soul sand area n hubby n i had to stop playing, even though we started a new game for the nether update but its Unplayable in its current condition. There were at least 50 skeletons n they n the ghast immediately re-spawned after death and esp on soul sand.... its pointless and aggravating to even try...i really hope it gets fixed, bug or not. Thanks!
