 Description   

My son has a Kindle Fire, operating Fire OS 5.3.1.0 and MCPE 15.2.1. Up until this morning all was working fine. This morning he went to log into MCPE and the screen goes black and then the game crashes before even getting to the log in screen. We have three other Kindle Fires, all operating the same OS and MCPE. There is only a problem with the one tablet.

I updated to MCPE 15.3 today and there is the same issue.

Thank you for your response. There was no update applied to MCPE. I went into the "options.txt" file and have copied what was there. This is what was there.

Can you confirm that there was no update applied to MCPE?

The affected device may have upgraded to version 0.15.3 (that's what appears bottom right on the game's main menu (as it appears in the GooglePlay Store it is 0.15.3.2. I'm not sure what is in the Amazon app store). You can also find the affected version by finding the file "options.txt" inside of the folder com.mojang/minecraftpe then scroll to the bottom and there are 3 fields like so:

old_game_version_major:0
old_game_version_minor:15
old_game_version_patch:3

Which will tell you if the crashing device is on 0.15.3 or 0.15.2.
