Syncing data for Fallout Shelter

So I'm sitting at a little over an hour of that "Syncing data..." screen for Fallout Shelter.

Game ran fine the first couple of days I had it, loading right up with little wait time. It's been pretty fun so far, but the fact my save data is up in the air now is really killing my positive outlook on this port.

I can easily get a refund on in-game purchases made on a broken game, if that's what it comes to, but the progress and time I put into the game is not something I can get back. So, what's the deal?

Is anyone else having this problem? Because I've searched around and I've seen no one making a fuss about Fallout Shelter not working, well, besides those that said they could never get it to work in the first place.

Never Finishes syncing fallout shelter

when I open fallout shelter it says syncing data and never stops I've tried reinstalling it but that seems not to work how can I fix this?

 

Fallout shelter syncing

Keep getting data sync problem when launching it just stays on data sync tried reinstalling and everything all my other games work fine just this game. Anyone else having problems

 

Oh, and before Microsoft Support suggests it, I have done the usual procedure related to fixing a data sync issue. That being:

Disconnect from internet, restart console, sign out of profile, launch game, sign in.

The largest problem being this game needs the internet to operate for some strange reason, even though I don't have any cloud storage activated.

 

Another update, I have tried to uninstall the game and then reinstall it... no dice.

The only thing that comes to mind, especially since I have not gotten a "This game is taking a long time to sync..." notification, is that the servers that store whatever online information I need to access are down.

Can anyone confirm if they can play their copy of Fallout Shelter on the Xbox One?

 

So I got it to work finally, here’s what I had to do:

1. Download Fallout Shelter onto my Windows Laptop

2. Start the game and save over the downloaded sync file

3. Shut down my laptop

4. Turn on my Xbox One

5. Delete my local save file for Fallout Shelter on my Xbox One

6. Restart my Xbox One

7. Launch Fallout Shelter on my Xbox One

8. After being prompted, select “Sync my latest data.”

9. Game works.
