Been having more issues since I upgraded my phone from the 8 to the 9, most of the game is running in at a lower framerate, causing parry, dex, and even masic attacks to miss altogether. some stages cause worse frame drops than others, especially if either side is using Prof X.

I've been playing for 6 years and these last few months have been making this game an absolute chore to play or even look at. I understand there are a myriad of problems, but could we just get a "static background" option. Nobody needs to have the frames drop because a robot is flying around in the background, or that there's a overly detailed trophy hanging around.

I've been looking into this issue, and while I havent found a fix, I found how to improve the situation. So apparently there is something wrong with the fps of mcoc and the refresh rate of, in this case, the OP9. Even if you select 120 hz refresh rate on OP9, opening the game will cause the refresh rate to be locked at 60 hz. Now, you may be thinking that 60hz = 60fps. While that should be the case, for some reason in mcoc the fps will be half of the hertz. So 60hz would get you 30 fps and 120hz would get you 60fps. So basically my "fix" would be forcing 120 hz, which would at least make the game playable at 60 fps. I use a paid app called "AutoHZ" which basically forces the refresh rate to be locked at auto, 60hz, or 120hz. I believe there are free apps to force 120 hz too. Good luck.

Game mode Act 6.3.6.

Description of issue: The node destructive feedback is not dealing out damage after the timer is over for the store damage it accumulated from my critical hits. For well over a month I've been playing the path back-and-forth and I noticed that none of my damage transfers after timer is up. I also have a very lengthy video that is posted on Twitter it's under one of DD D's current post. check it out. i used revive and boost, and spent time trying to make sure its a game issue. i expect this to be Verbally and also addressed directly in your next update an online to each player that had to fight a boss that nodes have not been working for months.

Description of the Issue: I've experienced this issue since updating the game to the latest version this morning. I have multiple accounts and the issue occurs across accounts. I've tried rebooting as well and that did not resolve the issue. The issue only occurs with this app. One thing I did notice when trying to document the issue is that the when my screen recorder is running, the lag seems to be significantly reduced.

Like those who wrote above, after the update, the number of frames per second has greatly decreased. If you believe the built-in pointer, then 25-30FPS, but by eye 10-15. The response to touches has become many times longer, it is impossible to finish the medium combo.

I apologize for the errors, I wrote through Google Translate.

Game Version Installed: 33.3.0
Game Mode: story quest, event quest, alliance quest, alliance war
Description of the Issue: inputs will routinely drop. I can be mid combo and still tapping the screen, but my champion won't respond. I can be holding block and it will just drop the block randomly. Swiping backwards wont always cause champion to evade backwards. Heavy attacks will randomly launch in the middle of combos. Specials won't always launch even after pressing on the special space multiple times. I can be hitting the AI, but will just whiff a hit in the middle of the combo. This happens to any champion that I'm using. Most recently both Hercules and Kingpin in alliance war. It has happened to fights with varying nodes.

This problem has existed for a long time, but now it's being forced on. Same thing was going on a while ago, maybe at times when all problems started to spread and iOS users got better refresh rates on phones.

Here is thread from 2019, and there are more of these way back. https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/1023422#Comment_1023422

Back in 2019 there wasn't this problem with 90hz to make game work at 45fps, it was 90fps. Now when 90hz is active, game is 45fps, and game loses controls, champions stutter in pre-fight. Map movements and other activities outside of fight are fluent.

Now when this "problem" is active, it seems like you're fighting unstoppable/unblockable enemies, as nothing works like it should, or how it used to.

For Oneplus 7 Pro I have a quick fix. See if it works on your phones too.

1. Go to screen settings and change resolution, and change it back what it was before change (might not be necessary to change back, but if that's your desiredd resolution...).

For example : QHD -> FHD and then back to QHD.

2. Change refresh rate to 60hz. If it already is, you might want to switch it to 90hz and then back to 60hz.

After this your game is working like it should. If you notice your game running smoother than normally, champions stutter or missing inputs, do these again. This was happening a bit earlier, but was changed back to normal a while ago, and was working fine until this update.

Description of the Issue: When you start the game, all the icons of champions,icons of inventory items are loaded, after 10 minutes of the game it repeats again until you restart, the game freezes for 1-2 seconds during the combo, and, of course, terrible problems with parry and dex, which have already been reported, it has been going on for more than a year, and the problem is in the game itself, since everything else on my phone goes without any problems, freezes and loads.

Description:
So all these months while all the iOS users (more or less) were having a bug it was running absolutely smooth with no issues, this is the first update ever where my parry doesn't work and stuff like that. I am a player that does close range parry a lot and that is no longer viable for me to do. The game is not reacting at the speed of my touch anymore there is a slight delay which is the difference in win or lose in an AW fight
