I didn't want to necro that thread, but has anyone found anything that makes this any better?
I've tried reverting 30fps, and it doesn't make a difference.
I'm on a Galaxy S22, so it's a fairly current high end device, and after about 5 minutes of playing, it gets extremely toasty, and then the awful lag follows.
Is anyone from the game team tracking this as an issue, or has the game just gotten so processing intensive, that anything but the latest flagship models are going to have issues?
Thanks in advance.

I switched both and found a drastic difference
e.g. dust = instant lag

Device getting very hot, very fast, in my case just the last few months.
iOS (older iPad), but never had this heat on mine before very recently.
And don't even have to be doing fights, just be in the game browsing around different screens. @KabamPinwheel
Yes, there have been “overheating” posts over the years going way back, but this is definitely affecting a lot of ppl recently.
Here are other posts since December and more recent.

Kabam, is there a change in the back-n-forth “pinging” / communicating with our devices from the Servers, checking for maintaining a connection ? Different from before ??
Or change in other background processing by the game on our device, that is causing the overheating more recently ??
As said above, doesn’t even have to be fighting.
But also, I even turned down my screen brightness to darkest possible, nope. (and don't have other communication/notification based “junk” apps running in background).
All high end smartphone can never handle that graphics load and will eventually heat up rapidly
In game for few minutes, heats up.
Close it and come here to Forums, or go to videos, or any other app, etc. (screen still on, processor still running, just not in game) and it cools back down
Guess I could keep one of those cooling packs you use for sore muscles in the fridge, and grab it to rest the iPad on when I go into game for periods of time.
Or bring my laptop chill-pad (fan pad) down to living room to use.
What would be a good place to test that (Roster or Crystals screens, anywhere else ? Events Tab ?), that does NOT have such a background going on ??
Maybe sit on one of those screens for some minutes, and see if it gets just as hot or not.
