    So I tried creating another account to try new weapons using a different Google account and I just keep opening my old one. How to make it work?

    A write-up or how-to would probably be really helpful to those also wanting to do this.

    Well, it is a Galaxy Tab A, and that allows different user accounts. So if you make a new account, and sign in with a different Google account, then download it from the Play Store, it works.

    I've tried switching Google accounts on my device (Nexus 7) and while the game launches, it just hangs up at a black screen. Odd.

    That used to be the problem to, then I was messing around with the one file, not the APK, and I did something, and it worked. And I am on Android.

    I hadn't tried since v2.5 - just gave it a shot and it's working now.

    Time to take a mini-account for a test drive and see how things are shaking out in the low infamy game these days. Unfortunately "DecaffeinatedChris" is too long a username, so I'll have to think of something else. ;)

    Did you create a separate user account on the device, not just add the second Google account to your primary user?

    Instructions on adding a separate user account to your Android device

    I added a second user with a new email address, re-downloaded Battle Bay, and launched it. The initial launch took about 10 seconds on a black screen, and then asked me to choose a Google Play Games account; the only option was my new email account.

    Can seamlessly switch between users via the system menu/corner drop-down icon now.

    i have two account used to be 3 on just one gmail on android i dont remember how but maybe this is the reasonss

    sometimes when i clear the data of the game and needed to relog in , it just dont login with any gmail account it creates a new user without gmail account , or you can stop your gmail to login in into games in your gmail account setting in google play games and ((((after that (both) just click in login(sync)with gmail account in the BB setting
    but try it at your own risk , if any think happened to your current account , it is your problem but you can try to creat some account on the same account (but not the one that have any old BB account )

    1) log out from your main account.
    2) close app
    3) settings>apps>battle bay> clear cache and data.
    4) start battle bay
    5) select new account...done

    New account must be the one which is never linked itself to Battle bay. I have 8 mail IDs and 4 of them are linked to my main account when I was trying to get an alt. To switch back to main just repeat the steps.

    I use parallel space on Android, its so easy and game is synced to another play account.
    So I have 2 battle bay apps / icons, and each is tied to a different profile.

    How about the ads though? I've read Parallel space is riddled with ads
