I have a T mobile Sony Xperia Z1s (C6916), android 4.3, stock with no modifications.
I can play the tutorial with no issues and create an account but when I try to connect it will show "Attempting to connect to server " for a split second and then crash to the home screen.
I have tried the compatibility mode and restarting the phone but it's the same result.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Install the app called aLogcat and then run it before running VO. Then when VO crashes, run aLogcat immediately and send us the resulting logcat.
Hopefully there will be info in the logcat that will help determine why VO crashes for you.

I installed alogcat and it recorded nothing. Ran it and kept it in the background and reopened it after VO crashed and alogcat shows nothing at all.
