Just updated my Nvidia Shield K1 tablet to Lineage OS 14.1 (from the stock Nvidia software), and now the game won’t load. Just shows a black screen and goes no further. I can back out of the game, and open other apps, so I know the tablet hasn’t crashed.
The Google Play Games app shows that the game has been loaded and played, so presumably it’s reporting to the Google server.
Have Lineage OS on another device (Mi Mix 2) and it works fine with no issues.
