[Android] 24.0 Lag, Crashing and Performance Investigation

Kabam LyraKabam Lyra Member Posts: 2,936 ★★★★
Hi Summoners!

Our team is working to identify and address performance issues in The Contest and we need your help as we gather relevant information.

As part of this process, it is important for you to understand that lag and game performance are affected by a host of factors including: device, operating system, connection and even Champions or maps. Complicated issues such as these involve an equally complicated investigation process, due to all of these variables. Your contributions to this thread will help in that investigation. This, however, does not mean that there is one single “fix” coming that will address all concerns for all players. It is an ongoing process of improvements that the team is continually working toward as the game progresses.


If you are experiencing crashing, lag, unresponsive controls or performance problems in the Android version of The Contest, please reply using the template below.

This thread is for Android users only.


In-Game Name: Please include your in-game (not forum) name.
Device and Model: (Example, Galaxy S6)
Device Operating System: (Example 8.0) You can find the operating system version on Android by going to Apps, then Settings and “About Device.”
Cellular or WiFi: Does this issue happen when you are using cellular data, WiFi or both? If on cellular, what is your mobile carrier?
Game Version Installed: To check which version of the game you have installed, go to the Google Play Store and confirm that you have the latest version installed which will show you the number. This thread is only for those on the 24.0 version of the game.
Game Mode: In which game mode did the error occur? Story Quests, Event Quests, Arena, Alliance Quest or Alliance War.
Description of the Issue: Please include a full and complete description of the lag and performance issue you are experiencing with as much relevant detail as possible. This includes any specific Champions affected and how long you’ve been experiencing the issue.

Replies to this thread must use the template below and provide relevant, constructive information about the issue. This thread is for information gathering and not one-on-one support. Off topic posts, requests for status updates and general complaints will be removed according to the forum rules.

    Having issues with constant freezing. Only happens mid fight, and only for a couple seconds, but its 4 or 5x a day now.
    Samsung s8 on wifi with full strength. All other apps closed, background data off, everything updated, on AT&T network.

    Description of the Issue:
    after the update the phone overheats after 30 or 40 minutes of play, at this point the speed of the fights is as if it were in slow motion, I have a video of this but I can not upload it here. The problem is more frequent when facing or using characters of size XL but with characters of other sizes the problem is equal. There is also a problem of excessive battery usage due to this problem.

    There are times when the ia of these characters to punish the rival immediately makes me parry

    Operating system: android 8.0.0 Oreo
    Bug-lag frequency: always
    I can't play mcoc. Very often the game is slower than usual and against champions who develop a big amount of graphic effects (like sinister, dormammu, void, mysterio, namor, hood, ghost rider, Morningstar... Etc)
    AND if I don't face them (or if I don't use these champions) the game runs lagging and not smoothly as it should be. The previous version was bad, but not like this one. I really can't play in any aspect of the game, I'm in a platinum ally and the difficulty is high, I can't lose war, aq and event because of LAG. ah, I noticed something these last 3 days:
    1) Ghost phasing intercept is no longer reliable: these lags make her attack with a delay (that the opponent immediately can remedy, blocking or dashing backward)

    2) wasp can't concatenate heavy in mid-combo(the enemy doesn't get passive-stunned)... Because it's like that wasp charged heavy too late and it's not a concatenation. Appended almost always. As soon as I can, I will send you a video

    Description of the Issue: exactly as what @MostWanted described. Fights are affected by extreme lag and don't run smoothly at all, as a result very often you lose your combo and lose the fights. For example parrying is basically impossible because of this lag issue and many special attacks are easily blocked while before this never happened. The game is absolutely unplayable.

    Description of issue: on node 45 of alliance war, its described as reversed controls. I don't think they were reversed and because of that I lost my magik to it because I tried to fight with reversed controls and then when I fought my next fight with my quake, the controls weren't reversed again, but I won because I fought normally.

    Just after this last update on android (s10+) my game has been locking up when exiting a fight. I've noticed it happens a lot when you quit a fight during a S3 animation or at times after dying. Never had this issue before.

    Anyone else notice the same?

    Here is my fight with wasp... I almost never hit her with heavy: in this video I did once, maybe because I only landed a medium hit? I don't know, however the next time I charged after the medium and I took her sp2

    few months AQ and Aw is unplayable, parry and dexterity don't perform properly, simple quest it's not an issue but boss fights for UC event quest is pathetic, forget performing intercepting, on performing dexterity all it does is keep block on, eventually you lose interest, reset my phone, deleted all data, still this problem persist

    I’m currently going through uncollected for this month and I’m trying to fight 6 star domino and when I chose Domino to fight Domino now I continue to get kicked from the match cutting my characters health in half it’s burning up my heal and energy because I cannot complete this fight any other fight I’m fine. This one path is screwing my items. I’m on an iPhone 7 & 8 plus both phones won’t allow me to fight.

    I actually think your European servers don't stand the Holliday's traffic cause last time it was like this it was Christmas.
    It's going to be 2 months of very bad game quality you propose to your clients if you don't improve those servers

    enemies dash back with greater distance as if they have dexterity. I've noticed frequently that my champs are being completely avoided then countered. I know that this is regular gameplay, yet I can play hours of arena and never have this happen. If I attack with a combo the first hit is dashback dodged then I am usually able to block or continue with my attack. In the more advanced gamemodes I get hit. I have even been heavied by non unblockable champs. My one hit dash basked back then hit me.

    Hi I am reporting a bug I have found since the most recent update. In back to back alliance wars now whenever my 5* duped rank 4 domino fights another domino my game crashes and the app restarts at the start of the fight. It is not an issue on my end. It has now happened in 2 aw in 4 fights. I go back in with corvus and am completely fine. Domino is a main counter to a duped domino. I am also the main boss killer for my bg. This bug has cost me resources and atleast one aw loss and possibly this one too. Please look into this issue tag is deltasky1024. Thanks
