Candy Crush Saga doesn't start on my Lumia 625
As of yesterday, 5th of September 2015, Candy Crush Saga does not start anymore. Neither a soft reset nor a re-installation of the app changed this behaviour. Setting the internal calendar 2 month in advance seemed to help the problem. But switching it back to the correct date delivered the unwanted result again: No startup. From other threads I gain the impression that this applies to windows phones (Lumia) and does not relate to any specific hardware series.

My phone is a Lumia 640 LTE with Win 8.1 update 2. Like the original poster gemwhizz, this weekend (Sept 5, 2015) Candy Crush stopped running: from the loading screen, went right back to the app list or the start screen that I launched it from. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice (lost all my progress since I never connected with Facebook). I tried rebooting, turning off WiFi and cellular, and none of those things worked. After reinstalling, if I left the game and tried to resume or restart, it just went back to start screen.
Thanks for the idea of changing the date. I moved mine up 2 days (to Tuesday, Sept 8) and it is working. Maybe this will all fix itself by the time the king.com employees all get back from their US Labor Day Holiday weekend.
