Hi! Thanks for reaching out. I understand that when you’re playing Tempest on your iPhone with iOS 18.4.1, the game kicks you out when you try to enter ports and don’t have an internet connection. Is that right?

To help you better, could you tell me:
- Does this happen every time you enter the ports offline, or only sometimes?
- Have you noticed if the game works fine when you have internet access?
- Have you tried restarting the game or your device recently?

Typically, some features in Tempest might require an active internet connection, especially when accessing ports, which might lead to the app closing unexpectedly if offline. Here’s what you can try:

1. Force Quit and Restart the Game
- Swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone screen to open the app switcher, then swipe the Tempest game off the screen to close it fully.
- Reopen the game and try entering the ports again while offline.

2. Check for Game Updates
- Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, and scroll down to see if there are updates available for Tempest. Updating can fix bugs causing crashes.

3. Reinstall the Game
- If the game keeps crashing offline, try deleting it and reinstalling from the App Store. This often clears corrupted files and resolves stability problems — other users reported this helped with crashing issues.

4. Check Offline Mode or Cached Content
- Some games have an offline mode or require pre-downloading content for offline play. Verify in Tempest’s settings if there’s an option to cache or prepare ports while online for smoother offline access.

If these steps don’t help and it keeps crashing when offline, it may be a known issue with how Tempest handles offline port access on iOS. In that case, reporting this directly to Tempest support ([email protected]) can help the developers address it in a future update.

Let me know how these steps go or if you need help with any of them! Are you satisfied with the solution I provided?
