So you open game center or a game like you do almost everyday. And for now apparent reason, it won’t load games. And when you open the game center app, it shows that it’s loading but nothing happens and it never loads. Unfortunately, you’ve just encountered the bug game center not working – blank page!
Does this sound like you? If so, you aren’t alone! Several of our readers are experiencing problems that a Game Center bug results in a white-blank screen or other random problems after updating their iOS to the latest version. This bug particular affects iFolks still using various iterations of iOS 9.
Reported game center not working blank page problems include:
Unable launch any games that use Game Center
White screen on launch
Unable to log in
Game Center causes crashing/freezing
Connection loss
Game Center won’t connect
First Steps, The Easy Fixes for Game Center Not Working – Blank Page
Before you try anything that potentially compromises your stored game data, try a restart or forced restart.
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo
How to force restart
On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo
On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad, or iPod touch: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo
Game Center in iOS 10 and above
Starting with iOS 10, Game Center is no longer a standalone app. Instead, Game Center remains part of the Settings app in iOS 10. It’s also part of Restrictions and even part of watchOS 3. Apple wants us to think of Game Center as a service rather than an app.
Tap Settings > Game Center > Your Apple ID and Tap Sign Out then Sign back in.
Restart your device
Force restart your device (iPhone or iPad) by pressing the Sleep/Wake (on/off) and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time and turn on Set Automatically
If the simple tips above do not help you, try updating to the latest version of iOS. But first make sure you back up your iDevice using iCloud or iTunes.
Before you update your iOS, restart your iDevice. And then head over to Settings>General>Software Update. You’ll see what updates are available for your specific device here. Make sure your iDevice is plugged into a power source and connected to the internet via WiFi. Now, either update wirelessly or connect to a computer and update with iTunes.
If you see an error or need more space when updating wirelessly
If you see an error message while trying to update your device wirelessly and you need more space for a wireless update, either update using iTunes or delete content manually from your device.
Whether using iTunes or update wirelessly, you need about the same amount of free space on your iDevice after you update. To free up space on your iDevice, check out our detailed article to getting a clutter free iPhone and iPad!
Sign In and Out of Apple ID
Try signing out of and then back into the iTunes and App stores. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in. Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign back in. Check if things are working again.
If this problem continues, some readers suggest trying a different Apple ID.
Other Options
Close all running apps on your device. Once you have closed the apps, switch on the Airplane mode and then Power off the device. Wait for a few and Power on the device. Go to Settings > Game Center and log out of Game Center. Next, restart your iDevice once again. After this second restart, turn airplane mode OFF and turn WiFi ON. Now that you have the connection up and running, log back into Game Center from Settings > Game Center.
If that still hasn’t fixed your Game Center problems, try these steps:
1. Restart iDevice
2. After restart, Turn WiFi OFF
3. Turn Bluetooth ON
4. Keep device in portrait mode and DO NOT touch the left or right edges of the screen
5. Open the stocks app and then quickly push the Home button
6. Hold down on the calendar icon until it wiggles, leave it wiggling for 10 – 15 seconds
7. Press the Home button again
8. Restart your iDevice a final time
Time to Restore
If nothing has come to your aide thus far, it’s time to contemplate the dreaded restore option. Hopefully you have a backup available. If not, back up NOW.
With these steps, you are first backing up your iDevice AND THEN erasing all contents and settings. BUT instead of restoring your backup right after, you should instead set-up your iDevice as NEW. Once set-up as new, sign into Game Center.
After signing into Game Center, verify that it is indeed working by testing it out on a few games. Once you’re sure everything is back to order, restore your previous backup.
This approach sets up a fresh connection to your Game Center. And when you restore your backup, Game Center remembers its previous connections via your Apple ID.

Thanks a lot! This helped me resolve the network issue with Game Center. I signed out of Game Center and back in to help me connect to it. And this helped me retrieve a game’s progress which I had lost! Awesome tips!
I bought an iPhone 7 plus recently, backed up my 6 plus first, transferred it all over, sold the 6 plus, came to use Game Center, doesn’t work?
Works on my new iPad, works on my old iPad, doesn’t work iPhone 7
As soon as you press Game Center, the phone freezes, you have to reset it,
Tried every fix on the internet, still freezes.
Clash of clans level 101, on iPhone level 2, a joke, Game Center is foooooked and will not work no matter what I do, extremely frustrating.
After many, many, many, many months and updates, my dang GC is STILL not working. I have just quit gaming altogether to solve the issue. No more $$ for the App store!
see , im having an ipad air, and im able to login two mail addres and then the others i cant. its saying to accept the terms and conditions, then asking nickname, then id and password, and this is going on repeating. i cant log in my other accounts.
After the update to IOS 9.3.2, I can not access friends list in Game Center and games say I’m not signed on when I am.
Tried all the fixes and nothing works. I get a communications error when trying to access helper. It then logs in but no access to anything. Works fine on my iPad, iPhone, my wife’s iPhone but her iPad is having the issue.
Apparently my Game Center was working fine UNTIL I upgraded to ios 9.3.2. Thanks for reset tips. I didn’t bother with changing date and time or airplane mode, but I signed off of game center, disabled all the options, shut down the phone, turned it back on, and then signed into game center. Probably restarting while being signed out is the key.
Succeeded on second device too. I signed out, then in several times to game center. Then I signed out, shut down and sign in and then Bob’s your uncle.
One strange thing is when I enable the contacts switch, leave game center settings and go in again, it’s off. It will not stay enabled.
I succeded after a lot of attempts on earlier described solution with a little change:
1. Shut down all open apps
2. Signed out of game center, but first I disabled allow invites, nearby players, contacts and Facebook.
3. I changed my game center profile name
4. Then I tried something new and disabled “set automatically” under date and time.
5. Enabled flight mode
6. Shut down device
7. Started device
8. In settings – date and time, enabled set automatically
9. Disabled flight mode
10. signed into game center and enabled allow invitations, nearby players and contacts
the directions are log out, log back in, restart, force restart, make time settings change. Are there 2 restarts? Or is the force restart the only restart?
Apple! Get off your backsides and fix this bug! Why oh why is this not a priority with you? This bug has been ongoing for ages. Cannot sign in to Game Centre unless putting into airplane mode, rebooting, signing out and then switching airplane mode off and signing in. We have paid good money to download some of these games just for you to laugh at us. You will lose millions of customers if you carry on ignoring us!
Has this been fixed yet, my Game Center still won’t load in the settings app or the actual app. Should I contact Apple one-on-one or have they fied the problem and I haven’t come across the way to fix it. It’s been like this for me since Christmas.
So annoying! I can’t play any Game Center games and most disappointingly the new Battleborn app to where I can get a gold skin for the game because I need to link to my Game Center account like seriously this has been an issue for 3 updates sometimes I love to believe Apple is focusing too much on adding pointless things instead of improving features or fixing bugs
Yes resetting/wiping the iPad and reinstalling all apps one by one without restoring from iCloud or iTunes backup works. You must set it up as a new iPad after the reset. Once you’ve painstakingly reinstalled all apps and games, you then perform a fresh backup.
My sisters iPad for her school got cracked, she got it fixed and then when she got it back she could hardly get onto her iPad at all the screen kept going black
When my game is loading “Restaurant Story” as soon as the Game Center notification pops up to tell me welcome back Joebob my game freezes and won’t open without turning my iPhone off and then back on…. Been happening for several months now and I’ve contacted the support for my game it looks like a Game Center issue
If you buy a new iPAd (mine is an iPAd 2) will this issue with game centre be fixed? The airplane mode thing worked once, but not with latest update. Have done restart, factory reset etc and nothing.
Thanks Jason. We just checked other sites for any improvements to the game center issue via iOS 9.3 and did not see any convincing answers. The only thing that seems to be working is “Restore”. Some folks after installing iOS 9.3 are not seeing the game center blank screen after trying “Resetting all Settings”. I think it is still too early to call it. As it stands, In order to get a permanent fix, the painful “Restore” is the only option. Please keep us posted if you find any other tips and tricks.We will also keep an eye out as this has been a very frustrating issue. – ATB Editorial
I just wanted to update everyone that my gamecenter has stopped working, again. It randomly started working (I didn’t try anything new) for a couple weeks, then just stopped again. I have tried every fix on this page that doesn’t require restoring from a backup or deleting everything from my phone to no success. I’ve called Apple numerous times and I always get the answer, “we are aware of the problem and are working to fix it,” but if anything it has only gotten worse with the new update. If after a couple more weeks this isn’t fixed I think the last solution is to switch to Android. In the meantime if anyone has anything new to share, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Found a fix for the issue. All the other solutions did not work. I contacted apple and they helped. Back up your iPhone to iCloud Settings>iCloud>Backup.
Then restore the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings.
After this as you follow the steps it will ask you to select how you want to restore the device. Selection iCloud. After it is all done your phone will have everything it had before the restore and Game Center should work.
Ok After lots of trys, restarts, logging Off AppStore and on, airplanemode on/Off and so on i tryd/checked my iPhone. I had The Same Problem with The airplane Mode that After trying logging Off GameCenter its loadingloadingloading! And then i tryd some New stuff. I turned Off my simcard pin (Setting > Telephone > SIM-Pin > Turn Off) then checked my mobile Data/Internet Settings (1 under Bluetooth at Settings) and what did i See…GameCenter was turned Off. Maybe my fault ok so i turned it on. I restarted, my phone connectet automaticly to my Host (Eplus Germany) and i’ve opened GameCenter. It was loadingloadingloading then i closed and tryd again without restart and it works…it loads again but faster and i tapped on logout and it works!!! I logged on again and it works!!!! Now my GameCenter works with Every Game without resetting my Phone 🙂 i Hope someone can Test ist (try The airplane Tipp and The AppStore Logout Tipp before!) and Maybe it works and You can post your results here. Sorry for my Bad english Hope You can understand what i mean. I will Check Next days for questions
Since I am unable to directly reply to you (no Reply link under your question), I will answer you here. Any game that uses it’s own cloud save will be fine and still synced after the reset. However if the game does not save to it’s own cloud based service, you’ll lose progress.
1. Close everything on your phone
2. Turn on airplane mode
3. Turn off phone (wait for a couple minutes after turning off)
4. Go to settings > Game Center > tap on account email address > sign out
5. Turn airplane mode off
6. Connect to wifi
7. Go to settings > Game Center > log in with apple ID
*Once you have done this you should be good to go.
Hello. I’ve been having the same issue for about three months and I’ve tried every possible solution.
Today I managed to fix it (at least for now).
Just go Settings –> iCould and turn off Find my iPhone/iPad.
So far game center is back on work and now if I go Settings and click Game Center I can see my Apple ID and all definitions which I couldn’t see before.
Here’s a possible solution to this annoying problem that’s still going on: so first, go into settings – App & iTunes Store – then sign out, then sign back in, restart your device, then quickly go back in the settings and tap on the Game Center (doing this quickly will give a better chance of it opening) if it opens, sign out, then sign back in, then restart your device again WITHOUT closing the Game Center app in settings (so leave it in the app switcher) then once you boot your phone back up you should be able to open the Game Center. This method worked for me, and I hope it works for everyone else.
I gave up on this garbage issue that Apple should have fixed long ago. I did the extreme of wiping the iPad and starting a while fresh backup. I’m almost done adding all my games and apps now. It’s crazy that wiping and starting anew is the only resolution at this time.
Yes. The only current 100% workaround is wiping the iPad and starting over. This means reinstalling everything. For me, every game that synced with Game Center worked fine and no progress was lost. It took me several hours, but everything is back now and working fine. I started a whole new backup after wiping and reinstalling everything. Do not restore from an old backup or you’ll retain the same issue. Start fresh by manually reinstalling all then backing up a fresh backup.
Also, it is critical that after wiping and booting that you do not restore from iCloud but setup as a new iPad and go from there. It’s an extreme measure to take, but the only 100% resolution as of the writing of this reply.
What about the games that you can still play without Game Center but need Game Center to do more? Would I lose the progress I’ve made since the last time it synced with Game Center? It would be about 2 days worth.

So, I found an easier solution to the game center problem. May not work for everyone, but I tried going into restrictions and toggling off and on the game center options at the bottom of the restrictions page. It seemed to work, as my game center is working again and I didn’t have to restore anything.
Just wanted to let everyone know i’m still having this problem. I have contacted Apple and they said that they know about the problem and are working on a solution. In the meantime, I guess we just have to sit back and wait.
To heck with waiting for Apple. I gave up and wiped my iPad Air 2 and starting a whole fresh backup. I am almost done adding my games and apps now. Luckily, all the games that utilized Game Center were synced and my progress was not lost.
Following these instructions finally restored everything for me. I had to give it a minute though as my games and friends list remained blank for about 20 seconds and then everything came back to life.
AJ, We have heard a lot of issues around the Game Center recently and we are in the process of simulating and trying to troubleshoot these. We will Keep our readers posted as well if we can find workarounds. Please keep the feedback coming.Thank You.
For what it’s worth, I contacted Apple about this. They are aware of the Game Center integration issues and have been aware since mid-December after iOS 9.2. I’ve installed 9.3 beta and the issue still exists. The Apple rep’s suggestion was to reset the device and restore from iTunes backup. To me it’s an extreme measure to take. Not to mention, all my backups are iOS 9.2 backups which will not fix the issue. The workaround is way too extreme. That’s like wiping my hard drive on the computer because of an issue with Office software. They are apparently working on a fix. In the meantime, most of my games no longer work because they sit there and wait for Game Center.
same for me man, I’ve deleted so many games I had played a lot because of this issue, and I won’t reset my iPad for a problem that they made, they MUST fix it!
I have not yet gotten to the point of deleting games yet. Still waiting on a fix. Unreal that 9.3 beta has not addressed the issue. Maybe the final iOS 9.3 will fix it.
I finally gave up and wiped my iPad Air 2 and started a whole fresh backup. I am almost done adding my games and apps now. Luckily, all the games that utilized Game Center were synced and my progress was not lost. Unbelievable that even now, the only fix is wiping and starting a fresh backup. Apple dropped the ball on this one.
Thanks for all your efforts in determining the problem. Out of all the comments on here it seems that you have some of the best understanding of how Apple and software works (from my humble opinion). I have yet gotten to the point of whipping everything and restarting. But I am beginning to get pretty mad with it. Let’s hope Apple gets their head on straight soon.
Thank you, Sarah. i waited two months and just went for it. It took some time but all is well now. Remember after wiping, don’t restore but setup as a new iPad. The core issue is a conflict between Game Center and data corruption in the backup. Why Apple can’t revert customer’s backup from before the glitch has to do with the fact that even Apple has little if any access to user backup data. To do the work would entail many hours for Apple, hence the extreme measure we have to take to fix the issue.

This is what worked for me for the blank, white screen on game center:
– close all running apps
– go into airplane mode
– power off the device
– power on the device
– go to settings -> game center and log out of the game center. For me this was not previously accessible.
– disable airplane mode and enable wifi
– log back into gamecenter from settings->game center
Thank you! This also worked for my son. Much less disruptive than doing resets and factory restores. You should let Apple know this works, maybe it will give them a clue how to fix it.
John/Todd,

Please send us your email ids so that we can send you your iTunes gift card. Please send your details to [email protected]. A selfie or two is always appreciated : )
Worked for me as well, until I had to turn my phone off. Now I’m back to the white screen and not being able to open the Game Center settings. Really getting annoyed with his bug now.
Same here, I can view Game Center after airplane mode and reboot, and click logout. However I just get a spinning circle and it never logs me out. If I go to another screen and back to Game Center, same infamous freeze.
Yup same issue here…it has intermittently came on here and there, but has now been not working for a couple days. Don’t know what to do, I’m not worried about losing anything except criminal case and sims progress, but it looks like you said below you didn’t lose anything, so I may just go ahead with the reset.
Same as for me all the above problems.
Ever since I updated to 9.1-2 etc.
I’ve tried beta & none beta on both IOS’s but still no fix.
2 bloody months this has been going on and still (no fix) no wonder ppl are leaving Apple and going to Samsung. I think I’ll be doing the same very soon if no fix. Tut.
My 5s ios 9.2 iphone’s game center is doing the same. No access from settings, blank screen. It started with the 9.2 update for me and it would spontaneously start working occasionally, then crash a day later, now it doesnt work at all. It’s a app you can’t delete which means its integral part of the OS. That SHOULD NOT HAVE BUGS APPLE, ITS MADE BY YOU AND INSTALLED BY YOU!!
Why they don’t just make an update that all the apps that need Game Center won’t need it anymore, so we will be able to play those apps and they can have all the time of the world to fix it…
It’s the latest ploy by Apple to ensure you update to the latest iOS.. and therefore can’t install a jailbreak.. Most people that Jailbreak do so to get Cydia apps that allow you to get free in app purchases.. Therefore developers will stop making iOS games… That’s why Game Centre won’t work on older iOS..
I got the same problems that you all described, but I got them since at least 2 months, it’s very, very frustrating, because there are games, which I played for long time and went very forward and spent lots of time in it that doesn’t open anymore… And now it’s been 2 months… If I go to Game Center trough the setting it just freeze, it won’t show me even the menu, and if I try to open the app, blank page and nothing will happen, when I try to open the app which are using GC they just load forever, I think it’s about time that they fix this F***ing problem because now I’m getting very angry, after the last update the first thing first I did was to go in the GC and it worked, but when I went out to try to make one of those apps to work, it didn’t and then when I tried again in GC blank page and didn’t worked anymore, I don’t want to do a Master Reset because I don’t want to lose all what I have, but this problem should have been fixed already long time ago… Apple I thought you were better than that…
Just downloaded and installed iOS 9.2. Still no GameCenter fix for me. Worse, both of my kids have the same iPad Mini. One works with no problem, the other one does not. How do you think that is going over?
Seriously though, the main (really only) purpose of my kids having the iPads is to play games. And now one of them cannot play games on his iPad since the iOS 9 release. And the iPads are less then a year old. Apple has known about this problem since the 9 release, how could it not be fixed by now?
It didn’t work for me, but when i’m connected to other internet connect my Game Center works perfectly fine, but when i’m connected to my usual internet connection(home), I cant open my iTunes, App store and Game center.
Having the exact same issue still. Tho I contacted apple’s senior advisor good news is that they know of this problem and are working on a fix, bad news is that there is no ETA. so I hope this thing will be fixed soon before we lose our patience.
This thing totally suck!!!
ive had ios 9.1 since the update, never had a problem with the ios 9. then today i had the same problem mentioned above. wouldnt load any game center games, couldnt even go into the game center settings. very frustrating. it was affecting my imessaging and the face time app as well. the ipad got very slow and laggy, which never happens. so i tried master reset, didnt work. then i logged out of my icloud/ apple ID. then logged back in, did another master reset and all was normal. hope this helps someone
i did all fix suggustion. but 4-Tap Settings > General > Date & Time and turn on ” Set Automatically” does not work.
how come apple makes this kind of bad and not working update
I’m updated to 9.2, but still no sign of a fix for game centre. Tried lots of the suggested fixes but no joy.
I agree with previous comment – this can’t be doing much for apples credibility.
When will Apple issue a fix?
iOS 9.0.2 severely impared My iPhone 5s. Tapscreen function is not as smooth as it used to be. Gamle center is totaly out of order. I can not play my games!
Bad, really bad!
9.1 and 9.2 updates have really messed things up. I wish they had allowed for the re-install of prior 8 updates.following the instructions above cause my Ipad Mini to totally freeze
Same thing is happening for me. This didn’t start until the 9.1 and 9.2 updates. I can’t get into Game Center through settings, Settings just crashes after a long pause. I for one, am out of patience as this has been ongoing for a month or more now.
Have exactly the same issue and this beta 9.1 Web page doesn’t work now since it is under repatriation by freaking Apple. I went to Best Buy yesterday and got myself Samsung Galaxy now. Screw Apple!
I am experiencing everything that were mentioned above.
All my games under game centre freezing every 10 minutes or so.
I am a clash gamer and the game froze when I was in a war attacking.
It was so frustrating. I was literally throwing my ipad out of the window.
When wil this be resolved?
Agree with previous posters about not updating. Problem then is that some apps don’t work unless you update. It’s frustrating perhaps Apple should do better testing.
Same issue with game centre but also the whole phone runs slow and falls over more. Please allow to uninstall bad updates.
It’s the latest ploy by Apple to ensure you update to the latest iOS.. and therefore can’t install a jailbreak.. Most people that Jailbreak do so to get Cydia apps that allow you to get free in app purchases.. Therefore developers will stop making iOS games… That’s why Game Centre won’t work on older iOS..
Good luck with Samsung phones!!! Trust me, I came from a Note 4 and it was a constant headache with a myriad of problems! This Game Center deal i am having is minor compared to the issues i had with the Note 4!
I have the same problem of my iPad mini freezing when trying to get through the settings. Just clicking on Game Center freezes the pad. Will try that 9.1. Shocking how this bug got through the testing stage.
Apple please fix this problem my game center will not work when i go to my settings and tap on game center my phone freezes and doesnt let me get into game center this causes the games i have on my phone not work, freeze and crash and its getting extremely annoying please fix this some time soon i really want to get back using my phone without worry that my games crash or itll freeze
We all feel you man. Games that Log into gamecenter don’t work. And for some reason mine started working again today but is now back to the same problem. The games never load.
I had the same issue with IOS 9.x. I just now updated to IOS 9.1 Beta and the problem is fixed! Here is the link to apple’s website. The process to change over to the beta version was not too difficult, but do backup to iTunes before you make the switch!
I have an iPad mini, and I’m not even able to open the Game Center under Settings either to even try to fix it…hopefully Apple fixes this soon! I’m not able to play any of my games because of it.
The issue with Game Centre freezing is still ongoing. I did the above beta fix, it worked for a bit and then it went back down again before opening up again later that night. I’ve found with the beta “fix”, that instead of being completely frozen, Game Centre will open and work sporadically. Just as frustrating as it not working at all.
This sucks I can’t play any new games because of this problem and my clash doesn’t load half the time because of how game centre isn’t working. Apple u better fix this coz I getting really annoyed
My Facebook has white screen too but sometimes work for a while then freezes up….. Thanks apple great way to make money off us dummy’s ….. Oughta be a law against putting junk updates in people’s I phones!
Use the alternate thing at the bottom of instructions. It worked for me. “Close all running apps on your device. Once you have closed the apps, switch on the airplane mode and then Power off the device. Wait for a few and Power on the device. Go to Settings > Game Center and log out of Game Center. Next, Disable your airplane mode and enable wi-fi. Now that you have the connection up and running, log back into Game Center from Settings > Game Center.”
I can’t get my euchre game to come up on my I pad . Please help.
Just changed from a Android to I phone, my Game Centre has not transferred through.
Game Center in Skylanders Apple TV!
i have a hard time getting apple macbook page to center, and cannot see what is on left side.
I have never had so much trouble with game center until now ‘unable to connect’….. Apple’s going backward big time, sick of all their changes!
Thanks a lot! This helped me resolve the network issue with Game Center. I signed out of Game Center and back in to help me connect to it. And this helped me retrieve a game’s progress which I had lost! Awesome tips!

Help!

Cannot sign in to Game Centre unless putting into airplane mode, rebooting, signing out and then switching airplane mode off and signing in. We have paid good money to download some of these games just for you to laugh at us. You will lose millions of customers if you carry on ignoring us!
Has this been fixed yet, my Game Center still won’t load in the settings app or the actual app. Should I contact Apple one-on-one or have they fied the problem and I haven’t come across the way to fix it. It’s been like this for me since Christmas.
I have been unable to access game center or Star Wars Galaxy Of Heroes since Friday, May 13 – PLEASE FIX!!!!
I have same problem with Game Center! >_<
Apple, if you do not fix this you suck.
So annoying! I can’t play any Game Center games and most disappointingly the new Battleborn app to where I can get a gold skin for the game because I need to link to my Game Center account like seriously this has been an issue for 3 updates sometimes I love to believe Apple is focusing too much on adding pointless things instead of improving features or fixing bugs
I cant open game center through settings, it just crashes on me. Any other way to solve the white screen problem?
I wish this was fixed!! It just signed me out :'(
Apple you really should gix it many people are suffer from that. Please make it quick
Can’t play madden!!!!!!!!
i hate this
Can not even open game center section in settings, it just freezes.
Jesse,
Yes resetting/wiping the iPad and reinstalling all apps one by one without restoring from iCloud or iTunes backup works. You must set it up as a new iPad after the reset. Once you’ve painstakingly reinstalled all apps and games, you then perform a fresh backup.
Not even the painful restore works SK!
Jason nothing on this thread has worked not even your 100% work around with 100% reset without back-up. NOTHING!
When I click Game Center in settings it freezes and then kicks me out.
I noticed that someone didn’t like this app, and they hacked the app so now everybody can’t use it,cause Apple can’t find out how to fix this bug
I have it on my iPad Air 2 it is a year old and I have tried all of these, none work. Help Apple!
i got fixed my game center error by updating to iOS 9.3.2 developer version.
The shutting down all running apps and going airplane mode before shutting down directions worked for me! Thanks!
Signing in again worked for me! I haven’t been able to use Game Center for months. Thanks!
My sisters iPad for her school got cracked, she got it fixed and then when she got it back she could hardly get onto her iPad at all the screen kept going black
When my game is loading “Restaurant Story” as soon as the Game Center notification pops up to tell me welcome back Joebob my game freezes and won’t open without turning my iPhone off and then back on…. Been happening for several months now and I’ve contacted the support for my game it looks like a Game Center issue
The 9.3 update didn’t fix it either
SK,
You are welcome. I will keep you posted if anything changes.
I have an iPad 2 and I cannot access Friends on Game Center at all.
I just got a friend request and I can’t even accept it.
I keep getting this instead:
Not Available
Unable to load data due to network connectivity issues or errors.
Please help!
Thank you!
Best solution is take off your back cover or case and reboot/ restart your device without case and see the miracle 🙂
Game center will open easily.
you will go mad to thank me.
P.S. i tried this thing on my iphone and it worked like charm 🙂
go for it.
If you buy a new iPAd (mine is an iPAd 2) will this issue with game centre be fixed? The airplane mode thing worked once, but not with latest update. Have done restart, factory reset etc and nothing.
Apple please fix this problem!!
Thx man, totally worked for me
As stated, I’ve listed the only 100% workaround. It’s the only thing that works 100% at the time of this post. Scroll up to see my comments.
Thanks Jason. We just checked other sites for any improvements to the game center issue via iOS 9.3 and did not see any convincing answers. The only thing that seems to be working is “Restore”. Some folks after installing iOS 9.3 are not seeing the game center blank screen after trying “Resetting all Settings”. I think it is still too early to call it. As it stands, In order to get a permanent fix, the painful “Restore” is the only option. Please keep us posted if you find any other tips and tricks.We will also keep an eye out as this has been a very frustrating issue. – ATB Editorial
I just wanted to update everyone that my gamecenter has stopped working, again. It randomly started working (I didn’t try anything new) for a couple weeks, then just stopped again. I have tried every fix on this page that doesn’t require restoring from a backup or deleting everything from my phone to no success. I’ve called Apple numerous times and I always get the answer, “we are aware of the problem and are working to fix it,” but if anything it has only gotten worse with the new update. If after a couple more weeks this isn’t fixed I think the last solution is to switch to Android. In the meantime if anyone has anything new to share, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Found a fix for the issue. All the other solutions did not work. I contacted apple and they helped. Back up your iPhone to iCloud Settings>iCloud>Backup.
Then restore the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings.
After this as you follow the steps it will ask you to select how you want to restore the device. Selection iCloud. After it is all done your phone will have everything it had before the restore and Game Center should work.
Today Apple launched iOS 9.3, i updated my iPhone 6 but the blanck page in Game Center continues not working. I lost hope :'(
Still working for me. You tryd my Tipp?
Hi all
Game center stopped working again, so back to the drawing board.
The last fix that suggests resetting airplane mode etc worked. Thanks!
Ok After lots of trys, restarts, logging Off AppStore and on, airplanemode on/Off and so on i tryd/checked my iPhone. I had The Same Problem with The airplane Mode that After trying logging Off GameCenter its loadingloadingloading! And then i tryd some New stuff. I turned Off my simcard pin (Setting > Telephone > SIM-Pin > Turn Off) then checked my mobile Data/Internet Settings (1 under Bluetooth at Settings) and what did i See…GameCenter was turned Off. Maybe my fault ok so i turned it on. I restarted, my phone connectet automaticly to my Host (Eplus Germany) and i’ve opened GameCenter. It was loadingloadingloading then i closed and tryd again without restart and it works…it loads again but faster and i tapped on logout and it works!!! I logged on again and it works!!!! Now my GameCenter works with Every Game without resetting my Phone 🙂 i Hope someone can Test ist (try The airplane Tipp and The AppStore Logout Tipp before!) and Maybe it works and You can post your results here. Sorry for my Bad english Hope You can understand what i mean. I will Check Next days for questions
Hi all
After trying everything else suggested here this what worked for me with out the need for airplane mode or reboots.
Opened the settings app, went to App & iTunes Stores section & signed out.
Went to Game Center section in the settings app & it didn’t freeze so signed out of it as well.
Then opened a online game which required me to be signed into game center for it to work & the game center sign in page popped up in game.
I signed in & now it’s working.
Will post again if it stops working, hope this helps.
Read this entire thread. Specifically my comments. It’s been a known issue since a few weeks before iOS 9.2.
Meredith,
Since I am unable to directly reply to you (no Reply link under your question), I will answer you here. Any game that uses it’s own cloud save will be fine and still synced after the reset. However if the game does not save to it’s own cloud based service, you’ll lose progress.
if i open settings and press game center it just freezes !!!
When im clicking on settings-Game center then the Whole settings is freezing
These steps didn’t help full
Solution that works for me every time:
1. Close everything on your phone
2. Turn on airplane mode
3. Turn off phone (wait for a couple minutes after turning off)
4. Go to settings > Game Center > tap on account email address > sign out
5. Turn airplane mode off
6. Connect to wifi
7. Go to settings > Game Center > log in with apple ID
*Once you have done this you should be good to go.
After step 3 turn phone back on then complete step 4.
Hello. I’ve been having the same issue for about three months and I’ve tried every possible solution.
Today I managed to fix it (at least for now).
Just go Settings –> iCould and turn off Find my iPhone/iPad.
So far game center is back on work and now if I go Settings and click Game Center I can see my Apple ID and all definitions which I couldn’t see before.
Hope it works for you guys!
Cheers ^^
Here’s a possible solution to this annoying problem that’s still going on: so first, go into settings – App & iTunes Store – then sign out, then sign back in, restart your device, then quickly go back in the settings and tap on the Game Center (doing this quickly will give a better chance of it opening) if it opens, sign out, then sign back in, then restart your device again WITHOUT closing the Game Center app in settings (so leave it in the app switcher) then once you boot your phone back up you should be able to open the Game Center. This method worked for me, and I hope it works for everyone else.
works
were you turning phone off and on or using force restart?
I gave up on this garbage issue that Apple should have fixed long ago. I did the extreme of wiping the iPad and starting a while fresh backup. I’m almost done adding all my games and apps now. It’s crazy that wiping and starting anew is the only resolution at this time.
Oops, “a whole fresh backup” not “a while…”
So did it work? No more game center issues?
Yes. The only current 100% workaround is wiping the iPad and starting over. This means reinstalling everything. For me, every game that synced with Game Center worked fine and no progress was lost. It took me several hours, but everything is back now and working fine. I started a whole new backup after wiping and reinstalling everything. Do not restore from an old backup or you’ll retain the same issue. Start fresh by manually reinstalling all then backing up a fresh backup.
Also, it is critical that after wiping and booting that you do not restore from iCloud but setup as a new iPad and go from there. It’s an extreme measure to take, but the only 100% resolution as of the writing of this reply.
What about the games that you can still play without Game Center but need Game Center to do more? Would I lose the progress I’ve made since the last time it synced with Game Center? It would be about 2 days worth.
So, I found an easier solution to the game center problem. May not work for everyone, but I tried going into restrictions and toggling off and on the game center options at the bottom of the restrictions page. It seemed to work, as my game center is working again and I didn’t have to restore anything.
THIS WORKED!!!! on Feb. 19, 2016. IT WORKED!!!!!
Just wanted to let everyone know i’m still having this problem. I have contacted Apple and they said that they know about the problem and are working on a solution. In the meantime, I guess we just have to sit back and wait.
use it as a paper weight till they find the fix… I ave 4 ipads ( my kids that is ) and all of them have the same issue as you.
i went out and got me an android just to play clash :).
To heck with waiting for Apple. I gave up and wiped my iPad Air 2 and starting a whole fresh backup. I am almost done adding my games and apps now. Luckily, all the games that utilized Game Center were synced and my progress was not lost.
Following these instructions finally restored everything for me. I had to give it a minute though as my games and friends list remained blank for about 20 seconds and then everything came back to life.
When I go to the Game Center options, the settings app freezes. Can anybody help me?
AJ, We have heard a lot of issues around the Game Center recently and we are in the process of simulating and trying to troubleshoot these. We will Keep our readers posted as well if we can find workarounds. Please keep the feedback coming.Thank You.
It’s a known issue since iOS 9.2. There’s allegedly a fix coming at some point. However, iOS 9.3 still has not resolved the issue.
Settings>Game Center>Apple ID, sign out and back in. Hopefully Game Center will load your Games and friends after doing that. It worked for me.
This does not address the issue because when you go to Sertings>>>Game Center, the device freezes and you have to force quit Settings.
For what it’s worth, I contacted Apple about this. They are aware of the Game Center integration issues and have been aware since mid-December after iOS 9.2. I’ve installed 9.3 beta and the issue still exists. The Apple rep’s suggestion was to reset the device and restore from iTunes backup. To me it’s an extreme measure to take. Not to mention, all my backups are iOS 9.2 backups which will not fix the issue. The workaround is way too extreme. That’s like wiping my hard drive on the computer because of an issue with Office software. They are apparently working on a fix. In the meantime, most of my games no longer work because they sit there and wait for Game Center.
same for me man, I’ve deleted so many games I had played a lot because of this issue, and I won’t reset my iPad for a problem that they made, they MUST fix it!
I have not yet gotten to the point of deleting games yet. Still waiting on a fix. Unreal that 9.3 beta has not addressed the issue. Maybe the final iOS 9.3 will fix it.
Super Alex,
I finally gave up and wiped my iPad Air 2 and started a whole fresh backup. I am almost done adding my games and apps now. Luckily, all the games that utilized Game Center were synced and my progress was not lost. Unbelievable that even now, the only fix is wiping and starting a fresh backup. Apple dropped the ball on this one.
Jason,
Thanks for all your efforts in determining the problem. Out of all the comments on here it seems that you have some of the best understanding of how Apple and software works (from my humble opinion). I have yet gotten to the point of whipping everything and restarting. But I am beginning to get pretty mad with it. Let’s hope Apple gets their head on straight soon.
Thank you, Sarah. i waited two months and just went for it. It took some time but all is well now. Remember after wiping, don’t restore but setup as a new iPad. The core issue is a conflict between Game Center and data corruption in the backup. Why Apple can’t revert customer’s backup from before the glitch has to do with the fact that even Apple has little if any access to user backup data. To do the work would entail many hours for Apple, hence the extreme measure we have to take to fix the issue.
This is what worked for me for the blank, white screen on game center:
– close all running apps
– go into airplane mode
– power off the device
– power on the device
– go to settings -> game center and log out of the game center. For me this was not previously accessible.
– disable airplane mode and enable wifi
– log back into gamecenter from settings->game center
Thank you! This also worked for my son. Much less disruptive than doing resets and factory restores. You should let Apple know this works, maybe it will give them a clue how to fix it.

Worked for me as well, until I had to turn my phone off. Now I’m back to the white screen and not being able to open the Game Center settings. Really getting annoyed with his bug now.
I tried this but just get a spinning wheel when logging out of Game Center after airplane mode and a reboot.
It doesn’t work, when you turn on the iPad again, and log out from GC it’s loading forever and nothing happens…
Same here, I can view Game Center after airplane mode and reboot, and click logout. However I just get a spinning circle and it never logs me out. If I go to another screen and back to Game Center, same infamous freeze.
Yup same issue here…it has intermittently came on here and there, but has now been not working for a couple days. Don’t know what to do, I’m not worried about losing anything except criminal case and sims progress, but it looks like you said below you didn’t lose anything, so I may just go ahead with the reset.
This worried for me. Thanks for info.
Holy CRAP! That worked! Thank you
Same as for me all the above problems.
Ever since I updated to 9.1-2 etc.
I’ve tried beta & none beta on both IOS’s but still no fix.
2 bloody months this has been going on and still (no fix) no wonder ppl are leaving Apple and going to Samsung. I think I’ll be doing the same very soon if no fix. Tut.
My 5s ios 9.2 iphone’s game center is doing the same. No access from settings, blank screen. It started with the 9.2 update for me and it would spontaneously start working occasionally, then crash a day later, now it doesnt work at all. It’s a app you can’t delete which means its integral part of the OS. That SHOULD NOT HAVE BUGS APPLE, ITS MADE BY YOU AND INSTALLED BY YOU!!
Why they don’t just make an update that all the apps that need Game Center won’t need it anymore, so we will be able to play those apps and they can have all the time of the world to fix it…
It’s the latest ploy by Apple to ensure you update to the latest iOS.. and therefore can’t install a jailbreak.. Most people that Jailbreak do so to get Cydia apps that allow you to get free in app purchases.. Therefore developers will stop making iOS games… That’s why Game Centre won’t work on older iOS..
I got the same problems that you all described, but I got them since at least 2 months, it’s very, very frustrating, because there are games, which I played for long time and went very forward and spent lots of time in it that doesn’t open anymore… And now it’s been 2 months… If I go to Game Center trough the setting it just freeze, it won’t show me even the menu, and if I try to open the app, blank page and nothing will happen, when I try to open the app which are using GC they just load forever, I think it’s about time that they fix this F***ing problem because now I’m getting very angry, after the last update the first thing first I did was to go in the GC and it worked, but when I went out to try to make one of those apps to work, it didn’t and then when I tried again in GC blank page and didn’t worked anymore, I don’t want to do a Master Reset because I don’t want to lose all what I have, but this problem should have been fixed already long time ago… Apple I thought you were better than that…
I can’t go in the game center settings…. And games won’t work with game center!!! Help!?? And white screen…
HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO TEST THE LEADERBOARDS IN THE GAME I’M CREATING WHEN GAME CENTER DOESN’T COME UP?
STEVE WOULD NEVER HAVE ALLOWED THIS!
FIX IT APPLE!!!!
=)
I can’t even open up Game Center from settings, when will this fix??
iPhone 5S update 9.2.
Nothing seems to help. Using 9.2 iPhone 5s iPad 3
I found a temporary fix… i find that if i restart my iPhone and go directly to game center after it turns back on, it works every time.
Just downloaded and installed iOS 9.2. Still no GameCenter fix for me. Worse, both of my kids have the same iPad Mini. One works with no problem, the other one does not. How do you think that is going over?
Seriously though, the main (really only) purpose of my kids having the iPads is to play games. And now one of them cannot play games on his iPad since the iOS 9 release. And the iPads are less then a year old. Apple has known about this problem since the 9 release, how could it not be fixed by now?
When I open Game Center WITH INTERNET it ether says enable iCloud and I did that and then other times it says connect to the Internet
So mad
It didn’t work for me, but when i’m connected to other internet connect my Game Center works perfectly fine, but when i’m connected to my usual internet connection(home), I cant open my iTunes, App store and Game center.
Just go to settings>general >reset >reset all settings
It will work 100%
Having the exact same issue still. Tho I contacted apple’s senior advisor good news is that they know of this problem and are working on a fix, bad news is that there is no ETA. so I hope this thing will be fixed soon before we lose our patience.
This thing totally suck!!!
ive had ios 9.1 since the update, never had a problem with the ios 9. then today i had the same problem mentioned above. wouldnt load any game center games, couldnt even go into the game center settings. very frustrating. it was affecting my imessaging and the face time app as well. the ipad got very slow and laggy, which never happens. so i tried master reset, didnt work. then i logged out of my icloud/ apple ID. then logged back in, did another master reset and all was normal. hope this helps someone
i did all fix suggustion. but 4-Tap Settings > General > Date & Time and turn on ” Set Automatically” does not work.
how come apple makes this kind of bad and not working update
i upgraded my ipad to ios 9.1 for play Unkilled game. i did it. but now game still does not start. other games are not stable.
Just updated to 9.1. Now I can access to my game centre .
Too early to say that it’s back to normal. Will wait for a few days….
In my case, the problem didn’t even start until after I updated to iOS 9.1. Maddening!
I am getting the same problem……very frustrating. Why don’t they fix this problem with the Game Center urgently!!!! Getting very fed up with it!!!
GC freezing and white screen same by me. It’s a shame of Apple. Maybe they don’t have enough money to repair it!
I’m updated to 9.2, but still no sign of a fix for game centre. Tried lots of the suggested fixes but no joy.
I agree with previous comment – this can’t be doing much for apples credibility.
When will Apple issue a fix?
iOS 9.0.2 severely impared My iPhone 5s. Tapscreen function is not as smooth as it used to be. Gamle center is totaly out of order. I can not play my games!
Bad, really bad!
I am having the same problems with Game Center. I have updated through 9.2. This is very annoying. Apple needs to fix this ASAP.
This bug has been left without any fix for weeks now. NOT OK. I can’t open any of the games anymore. Frustrated!
9.1 and 9.2 updates have really messed things up. I wish they had allowed for the re-install of prior 8 updates.following the instructions above cause my Ipad Mini to totally freeze
Same thing is happening for me. This didn’t start until the 9.1 and 9.2 updates. I can’t get into Game Center through settings, Settings just crashes after a long pause. I for one, am out of patience as this has been ongoing for a month or more now.
Have exactly the same issue and this beta 9.1 Web page doesn’t work now since it is under repatriation by freaking Apple. I went to Best Buy yesterday and got myself Samsung Galaxy now. Screw Apple!
Having the same problems white screen, freezes at loading. Can’t get any game that are connected to game center since I did 9.0 update. Please fix
I am experiencing everything that were mentioned above.
All my games under game centre freezing every 10 minutes or so.
I am a clash gamer and the game froze when I was in a war attacking.
It was so frustrating. I was literally throwing my ipad out of the window.
When wil this be resolved?
Agree with previous posters about not updating. Problem then is that some apps don’t work unless you update. It’s frustrating perhaps Apple should do better testing.
Same issue with game centre but also the whole phone runs slow and falls over more. Please allow to uninstall bad updates.
It’s the latest ploy by Apple to ensure you update to the latest iOS.. and therefore can’t install a jailbreak.. Most people that Jailbreak do so to get Cydia apps that allow you to get free in app purchases.. Therefore developers will stop making iOS games… That’s why Game Centre won’t work on older iOS..
Can’t wait for a new Samsung phone that doesn’t have these problems
Good luck with Samsung phones!!! Trust me, I came from a Note 4 and it was a constant headache with a myriad of problems! This Game Center deal i am having is minor compared to the issues i had with the Note 4!
I cannot even open the Game Center in settings. Everything freezes.
Doesn’t work for our iPad – can’t even enter gamecenter. It freezes the minute we tap “game center” in settings. Any suggestions for another solution?
I can’t even get my Game Center to load from the settings page!!! Apple you are trying my patience!
Same! AND I can’t access the beta page either, it just keeps looping to the log-in screen!
All my games are linked to Game Center. FIX THE BUG! NOW!!!!!
Not happy.
Okay, I just decided to try the 9.1 as well. Did so and everything seems to be in working order again. Thanks!
I have the same problem of my iPad mini freezing when trying to get through the settings. Just clicking on Game Center freezes the pad. Will try that 9.1. Shocking how this bug got through the testing stage.
I have all the same above mentioned problems. I even tried a back up and restore. That didn’t help either.
Apple please fix this problem my game center will not work when i go to my settings and tap on game center my phone freezes and doesnt let me get into game center this causes the games i have on my phone not work, freeze and crash and its getting extremely annoying please fix this some time soon i really want to get back using my phone without worry that my games crash or itll freeze
We all feel you man. Games that Log into gamecenter don’t work. And for some reason mine started working again today but is now back to the same problem. The games never load.
When I go into settings to try and open game centre it freezes. I’m up to 9.2 now and no fix. This is very frustrating.
I had the same issue with IOS 9.x. I just now updated to IOS 9.1 Beta and the problem is fixed! Here is the link to apple’s website. The process to change over to the beta version was not too difficult, but do backup to iTunes before you make the switch!
https://beta.apple.com/
Not a good a fix as game centre on my iPad is just a blank screen.its about time Apple got this sorted.
Same here. Doing my head in. Ipad is very slow and freezes all the time since upgrade.
Ipad also freezing when trying to get in through the settings so no success at all
Mine too don’t worry man
Game Center app not working
FarmVille 2 country escape no working
I have an iPad mini
Game Center will not work at all, even after trying all suggested tips. This is going on since I updated the 9
Game Center will not work at all, even after trying all suggested that tips. This is going on since I updated the 9
Mine won’t allow it either; tried EVERYTHING
That would be a lovely fix if my 5s didn’t freeze even when attempting to open game center from settings….
As done mine. Now I know why I don’t dl updates.
Don’t worry, I managed to log on and follow the steps…as expected…it doesn’t work. I think we just have to be patient and wait for Apple to fix it
I have an iPad mini, and I’m not even able to open the Game Center under Settings either to even try to fix it…hopefully Apple fixes this soon! I’m not able to play any of my games because of it.
I cant either, Jillan. This stinks Apple!!!!!
Same here… You are not alone
Same here Man…, lol u not alone
Same here!
The issue with Game Centre freezing is still ongoing. I did the above beta fix, it worked for a bit and then it went back down again before opening up again later that night. I’ve found with the beta “fix”, that instead of being completely frozen, Game Centre will open and work sporadically. Just as frustrating as it not working at all.
Ive tried same as you with same results. Not happy.
Me too
This sucks I can’t play any new games because of this problem and my clash doesn’t load half the time because of how game centre isn’t working. Apple u better fix this coz I getting really annoyed
My Facebook has white screen too but sometimes work for a while then freezes up….. Thanks apple great way to make money off us dummy’s ….. Oughta be a law against putting junk updates in people’s I phones!
GameCenter freezes even under “settings”. None of these tips helped.
i had the same problem like u man, i cant login to Boom Beach anymore, it wont allow to to even enter GC in the settings.
Can Apple hurra up with da update already come on
It does not work
EXACTLY
I went on settings but when I tried to open Game Center on settings my phone crashed
Use the alternate thing at the bottom of instructions. It worked for me. “Close all running apps on your device. Once you have closed the apps, switch on the airplane mode and then Power off the device. Wait for a few and Power on the device. Go to Settings > Game Center and log out of Game Center. Next, Disable your airplane mode and enable wi-fi. Now that you have the connection up and running, log back into Game Center from Settings > Game Center.”
Same I have 5s too
