    Samsung galaxy core prevail with the latest Android updates 4.4.4, WiFi signal, full bars, boost mobile. I've had 3 crashes since yesterday but only because I'm moving & not really playing. Today, I uninstalled/installed yet again & it didn't crashed. It did, however lag something fierce. I've seen pictures move faster than that. I've also noticed in chat that avatars were missing, only borders. How long is this going to take to fix? I've used this cell for over two years & since update 17.0, it's been a horrible experience. I know I'm not the only one, so what explanation do you have?

    Device-Motorola Droid Maxx 2
    Android Update-24.24.27
    Connection-home WiFi and cell
    Game-Latest patch

    Common Issues
    1.Chat is either experiencing long delays or doesn't work at all. This includes Global, Alliance, Battlegroup, Wargroup, Dungeon, and Friend chat.

    2.Blocks are dropping either in the middle of combos or the champ will enter the block animation as the AI starts a combo but the attack just blows through the block.

    3.Instances where the Parry or Dexterity visual cue triggers, but the AI does not get stunned or the champion still gets hit.

    4.Special button is inconsistent. Champ will sometimes just stands there instead of using it's special, both at the end of a combo or when intercepting.

    5.Buff/debuff times vary widely from fight to fight. For example, I often run Hulk with Max ranks in Stupify so when I stun on a Special, I have enough time to do a 5-hit combo and then start a second combo. I run into issues in all game modes with the Stun expiring before the end of the first combo. Obviously, Limber masteries can effect this in AW,but it also occurs in other game modes and without Limber on the node. Issue happens with other debuffs, but this is the easiest to explain.

    6.AI recovers to intercept/Dodge/block with time still left on Stun icon, sometimes as much as 25%time remaining.

    7.Can't Dodge after holding Block to bait a Heavy. Champ stays stuck in place.

    8.Various lag issues.
    A.Game will lag at the very start of a fight, throwing Parry/Dex timing off and allowing the AI to land a combo right off the bat.

    B.Game will lag right at the end of a 5-hit combo, allowing AI time to recover and block incoming special.

    C.Game will lag when AI misses a heavy attack, allowing AI time to recover and block/intercept incoming counter attack.

    D.Fights with generally choppy animation due to lag, especially with Dormammu.

    Less Common Issues
    1.Game crashes during loading screen for fights in AQ/AW.

    2.After unpausing a paused fight in AQ, the Health and Power Bars of both champs will overlap, making it difficult to determine each champ's health and power. Special button also does not work at all when this occurs.

    3.AI will fire off attacks/specials while you are in the middle of a combo.

    Ужасно просто отвратительно, и с каждым обновлением все хуже и хуже.
    Устройство и модель: samsung galaxy a5 (2017)
    Device Операционная система: Android 7.0
    Установленная игра: последняя
    Сотовая или WiFi: Оба
    режима игры: сюжетные квесты, квесты к событиям, AQ, AW, Arenas, RTTL.
    Описание проблем:
    Итак начинаем:
    Проблем в игре стало просто очень много. Начиная со входа, еще с версией 17.2.0 перестало заходить в игру без впн с версией 18.0 ничего не изменилось.
    Теперь о блоке, парировании, уклонении, также пробитии блока и спец атаках:
    Блок постоянно теряется, уклонение либо не доробатывает либо ставится вместо парирования и наоборот, самопроизвольно нажимается спец атака в то время когда ты вовсе не собирался ее использовать, самопроизвольно зажимается пробитие блока, техника боя стала вообще непонятной первым наносишь удар, но соперник почему то прерывает его нанося свой удар и тем самым получаешь полную серию непонятно откуда вообщем техника на оперкжение соперника больше не работает.
    Чат внутриигровой:
    Казалось бы какая мелочь, но увы тоже виснет и приносит неудрбства особенно в подземелиях.
    О подземелиях:
    Стал зависать и не преходит в следующую комнату, соперник очень редко использует спец атаки и также проблема с уклонением парирование и блоком.
    Итог 4 года играю, но такого и столько проблем в игре никогда не было
  • Device and Model: ZTE Z971
    Device Operating System: Android 7.1.1
    Cellular or WiFi: WiFi
    Game Version Installed: 18.0.0
    Game Mode: Mainly arena, but it can occur anywhere
    Description of the Issue: None of the following issues have any particular set of triggers or a specific situation that causes it to occur.
    1. Random lag spikes causes combos to miss and allow the AI to intercept.
    2. The AI has adopted human-like behavior and tactics such as parrying and intercepting, which interrupts combos.
    3. The AI sometimes immediately blocks specials, even if they are in the middle of recovering.
    4. Some basic attacks fail to land, which interrupts combos.
    5. Sometimes special attacks fail to launch.
    6. Blocks sometimes drop in the middle of blocking an enemy combo.
    7. Generally, the AI has extremely fast recovery times and reaction speeds beyond human perception. Because of this, the AI seemingly "anticipates" my next move and as a result, immediately throws an attack the exact moment I begin my attack, which means the AI intercepts me.
    8. Sometimes, when using a medium attack or a series of light attacks, the character will instead use a heavy attack. Coupled with superhuman AI reaction speeds, the AI intercepts immediately.
    9. Whenever I play Quake and have her charge heavies, well timed blocks against attacking opponents do not parry.
    10. Sometimes when dashing forward, the character instead does light and medium attacks in place. Other times, dashing forward causes the character to dash backwards instead, and vice versa.
    11. The opponent can still hit you even while dashing back.
    12. The game sometimes crashes, stops responding, or otherwise close with no explanation.

    Cellular or WiFi: Only noticed on WiFi
    Game Version Installed: Latest version
    Game Mode: Has happened in AQ and Infinity Dungeons where I have noticed it
    Description of the Issue: Over the last few days I have had maybe 4 full app closures, never had this before and it has only started to happen more recently. Time that I can remember what I was doing are when an AQ fight was about to begin (Map 5 between a tech sentinel and SW) it had the preload screen but quit just before the fight started (lost half health).

    And once when trying to exit the infinity dungeons, pressed to leave and the game quit. Closed down completely.

    Has happened at least two other times recently.

    Do you at Kabam realize how absolutely infuriating this month has been especially?! Its ALWAYS been bad! But the event quest, the challenge, the dungeons, I can't do ANYTHING EFFICIENTLY with all your bugs!!! Can we please get some kind of feedback after giving you all of our feedback?! It's been 9 MONTHS!!!

    Galaxy S8 plus
    Everything is up to date
    4g LTE or wifi

    Drop blocks
    Not finishing combos
    Special button not registering
    Champs moving forward while swiping back, not moving at all, moving back while swiping forward, all the same issues with controls everyone else is having basically.
    Not trying to be a conspiracy theory guy, but its...interesting... to me that the issues really only seem to pop up while playing the harder content. Tonight for example, they appeared while trying to make a pass in the last level of this months special challenge. First fight or two was fine, then the control issues pop up. Costing revives and health pots. I backed out, went straight to 4* basic arena, absolutely no problems. Regular difficulty/daily quests or maps 2 or 3 in AQ, no issues with controls. Harder/end game content, all of a sudden control issues. This is just my personal observations. Not saying it's that way for anyone else, although I've talked to other players that have noticed it in harder content as well. It is getting VERY frustrating.

    -Samsung Galaxy S8+
    -Android 8.0
    -Both cellular and wifi
    -18.0.0
    -My characters will drop blocks and combos during a fight at random. It seems to be more prevalent in AW and AW. It almost looks like they want to respond but do not. While at other times they respond in part but still not fully.

    -I have a issue where, if the game crashes, you coke back in and the game play feels like it is sped up or has like a odd fluidity to it. It's hard to explain but it causes delayed responses in your controls.

    -Many instances where I am unable to break free from a combo while I'm blocking. I get stuck taking the full combo as opposed to being able to pull out of it.

    -Just my 2 cents about something... The AI still has incredible speed in turning their heavy attacks into specials.

    Game Version Installed: 18.0.0 (previous version was the same).

    Description of the Issue: FPS drops suddenly making the game difficult to play. Loading screen takes ages compare to IOS and lags a lot graphically (not network). Tried different things to speed up and improve the performance but all in vain. Seems that game is not optimized for android devices which is a shame. Would be good to have a graphic options.

    Same problem back with a vengeance. Champs dashing forward when I was holding a block. Really not good in master thanos esp when his aura is up. Played this round loads yesterday without that problem. It happened with all the champs I took. Iceman, SW, LC, medusa and BP of. Lack was the worst, it was like he was on autopilot

    Description of issue: I experienced a big frame drops only in this game, like i played with below than 30fps which is personally for me not a good performer because I get the same kind of performance with my previous Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL which is by the way, wayyyy slower than my Redmi Note 5. How is this possible? And to add more to this, I played other graphic demanding games like NFS No Limits, Marvel Future Fight, Mobile Legends, Rules of Survival(balanced to high) with a little bit above 35fps if not 40...

    Description of the Issue(s):

    games become laggy time to time during a fight. i don't know the frequency it looks like random.
    * mostly happen when AI perform and sps. the half second game is unresponsive, I'm unable to defend my self (can't evade or block) leaving me open to attack.
    * during a 5 hit block happen again. when i'm blocking a 5 hit combo from AI, game lagg again for a mini-second. Again i end up being struck even i was holding block the hole time
    * I also noticed that this happen more if you are in the middle of the field or if you are cornered at left side, and less if you corner your opponent to the right side.
  • Device model-ZTE Max xl
    Android 7.1.1.
    Same issues on both Wi-Fi and cellular data.
    Running current version.
    I've re-downloaded twice in the past two days.
    Problems- lags. Dropped combos. Unresponsive. Opponents second special activates when only one bar is present. Auto block activates when opponent is stunned. Nullifying the stun. Opponent is awarded hits when I clearly struck first. I don't even know how to describe what happened at a victory cut screen. The game is overall garbage at this point. Maybe you at Kabam should focus on how the game plays instead of birds and smoke in the background.

    So, this is somewhat different than the Thread already opened for collecting specific instances of issues. I wanted to share some observations of times when the lag is heaviest, in the hopes that looking at commonalities will help identify the causes. For the purpose of information, I'm on Android 7.0, Samsung Galaxy Tab E.

    For me, I've noticed the lag is very prevalent when fighting higher CRs, or when the content is harder. It almost always happens during Master and Challenge-type Events. The higher the Opponent, the more chance of lag. Same with higher Dungeons. I suspected that interactions of CRs might play a part, but I'm inconclusive.
    It definitely occurs in the Infinite of the Arena. It somewhat comes and goes there, but it's stronger with higher Streaks.
    Heavy-traffic times are quite laggy as well. When something new goes live, or when a particular Arena is popular, it's bad. Same with after Maintenance. I thought it might be because many people are on after waiting for it to end.

    Just a couple frequencies I've noticed. Feel free to share any you've observed. I'm just trying to identify common factors to help identify the problems. Thanks.

    Its frustrating to watch streamers playing Mcoc on Apple devices and how much more fluid and responsive it is vs. my android experience on tablet and Galaxy s8+...maybe it's a platform issue.

    Description: My champs is doing heavy attack all the time!
    They charge heavy attack when I'm blocking, when I'm doing combo, even when I'm not touching the screen. I'm sure the autoplay button is off. Fix this! So frustrating!
