Is Anyone Else Getting Killed by Lotan Lag?

LexSavi

I run the game on an iPad Pro. I rarely ever experience lag except in 2 specific fights. The first is when Dust has her dust storm up. The second is Lotan’s maelstrom.

The lag is making dexing Lotan’s specials in phase 5 really inconsistent which has made the fight nearly impossible so far. Pretty sure it’s not a skill issue given how long I’ve played this game. My dex game is point.

Anyone have suggestions how to deal with the lag? Can Kabam turn off the damn Maelstrom or dust storm animations? I really appreciate trying to up the visual effects, but not at the price of making parts of the game function so poorly. It’s bad enough that I avoid fighting Dust at all costs, but getting stuck at Lotan is a bridge too far.

Hope kabam will fix it.. story progresses is important for game.

I lagged here and there. iPhone 13 with a **** overheating battery/phone. Thank god I recently explored this chapter.

The dismal game lag in all phases caused a ton of missed hits and dexing delays and made this fight a horrible experience for me. This also made it 10 times more difficult than it should have been to manage the desecration charges. Phase 5 lag was just disgusting.

Phase 3 was the worse not because the defender was stun immune, but because they kept spamming heavy attacks. Defender literally threw 10 heavies in a row...CONSTANTLY. How can we parry the defender's basics to remove the charges, if they're spamming heavies????? And to have to deal with the lag on top of all of that. Smh!

I mean it's literally unplayable for me until they manage to get a fix they said they were working on it but it could take a lot of time.

I wish I knew about this fix before I did the fight 😅 The amount of lag was just unbearable.

There’s still a ton of lag. Not a hard fight at all, but getting smacked by the second hit of her special when you are dexing (and have been dexing previous phases) just fine is bad game mechanics.

Reminiscent of Dust and the graphics that accompany her storm. Cool to look at, but it’s just breaks the game on my phone.

Are you on 30 or 60 fps? I’m using a 6 GB RAM Android phone playing on 30 fps. No lag works great which was a very pleasant surprise. Still get hit but that is due to lousy skills

DrZola

60 fps for me.

Interested to see if everyone else experiencing the lag has the same common setting to play at 60 fps.

I play on 60FPS and the lag made the fight almost unplayable for me at some points. I’m glad we only had to do the fight 3 times

Left the fight in phase 3 because of the that annoying lag I may try the fight after some time

Agreed. Truly wasn’t a big issue until later phases where maelstrom becomes more prevalent.

It’s all done and with little resource usage, so no worries—but I’d kindly suggest to the team that they study what happens during Sandstorm and Maelstrom and how it might impact devices and gameplay.

I started the fight at 60 fps. That’s the setting I normally play on. Switched to 30 fps after a handful of deaths, but didn’t notice an immediate difference.

I eventually finished the fight after using a lot of resources and have been rebuilding pots and revives for the next two runs.
