game center broken in ios 9

Anyone else seeing this? I saw this during the beta but in the last beta it would actually load eventually. But now it doesn't do anything. Just sits on the white screen. It works perfectly fine on my iPad Mini 3, though.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9

Same problem here, I can not open game center, I got a blank screen. In settings menu I can not access to game center settings either, it freezes.

It worked fine on IOS 8.4.1.

I installed beta 5 today and everything seems to be working fine. I wasn't happy about having to sign up for the beta to resolve this issue. The 5s is the last Iphone I will ever own. I know Android gets buggy during updates too. My tablet is an android, but I've never had a problem this bad or for this long.

Yup... have this problem on my iPhone 4S after going to IOS 9. But I didn't actually realize it was a game center issue until I got a new iPhone 6 and tried to do a restore. GC also stopped working on the iPhone 6 after restore. (I only play one game that uses GC). Found this thread and signed up for the public beta. I think I'll be trying the 9.1 beta, since others have reported it fixed the GC issue...

Glad to hear reports that this problem is fixed in the iOS 9.1 betas. I'm not installing the beta on my main iPad, but at least now I'm not wondering if it will be fixed.


In addition to not letting me play any games that rely on GC, this bug also prevents me from deleting any GC-enabled games. When I'd normally see the dialog asking if I want to remove the game from GC, the iPad instead locks up and eventually restarts.

I just ran into this issue today on my iPhone 6 (9.0.2). I absolutely refuse to have to jump though hoops to get this to work. I tried something really easy which seemed to work so i thought id share it. I turned off my phone ( i did not hard boot it) I held the power button down and turned it off normally. Powered it back up and went into the game center app before i did anything and it loaded up (before it was sitting at a white screen and i couldn't get access it from settings either) after it loaded i minimized the app (i did NOT close it) I went into an app that uses GC and it worked!. i tried a few other games and it worked for all of them. Not sure if its completely fixed but at least i didn't have to wipe my phone and start over.
