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 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, Samsung 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 Play Store and confirm that you have the latest version installed which will show you the number. This thread is for users on the 19.1 version of the game only. (Example, 17.1.5)
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.

    Well the fix worked 2 whole days. Now instead of flickering then throwing me out after 10 minutes, logging back in 10 minutes thrown out, etc.., I can play 30 minutes get thrown out but can't stay in. Move to my phone from my galaxy S tab2 to my galaxy 8 phone and can't get in. If I do the phone locks up. Vice a versa if I start out on my phone. I have to wait 2 hours before i can play. I normally spend around $250.00 a month not any more not till something is fixed. I have 6 accounts all have the same problem since patch 19.

    Every 20 or so minutes, within fights, the health and power bars become white blocks, with the damage numbers, buffs, and debuffs having boxes around them. Upon completeing the fight, the game either loads forever or crashes.

    Description of the Issue: The game temporarily froze on a black screen, then loaded slowly. Character movement skips frames and has an inconsistent frame rate. Other times the characters have a floaty feel and appear to be off the ground when striking.
  • cmbjivecmbjive Member Posts: 5
    Also, inputs sometime work opposite as intended. For example, if I swipe for a mid attack the character dashes backwards or if I tap the screen for a light punch the game registers it as a heavy.

    It's extremely annoying and has only been happening since the last update.

    Description: rapid overheating just from loading the game along with severe battery draining. In-game performance is a real struggle and there is approx half a second delay before touch inputs register. Version 19.0 was working okay for me using this same phone.

    Nothing else in my device has been changed since installing 19.1. I'm going to have to roll back just go be able to play AW and not leave my alliance down a player.

    Problems in all aspects. More noticeable in AW and AQ. Failed inputs are very frequent. Champion will throw random heavy attacks in mid combo. While blocking my champ will randomly dash backwards. Dash forward frequently fails and leaves me standing with guard down. Champion freezes mid combo as well. Muktiple times a day the game just force closes during fights and cause liss of health and death totals in AW as well

    Mainly lag happens regularly no matter what part of the game I am on. I also have events that show up that the number looks like I haven't done it when I have. There are time also in AQ and AW when it shows links being up that aren't or that a member of my Alliance is fighting someone and they are not actually engaged in a fight.

    Update 19.1
    Ever since the update, my game runs extremely slow and laggy. I don't notice any overheating issues. My hits miss in the middle of simple combos, my specials are constantly blocked, Parry and Evade only work part of the time, and just all around terrible gameplay. I haven't been able to do any Uncollected difficulty and even while using my saved up boosts and potions, I still have trouble competing in Master difficulty, let alone completing it.

    V19.1
    Every aspect of the game is affected
    Several issues 1)on the 5th hit of a 5 hit combo my champ freezes for a split second when it unfreezes im already getting hit
    2) i blocked a 5 hit commbo standing toe to toe with my opponent when i went for attack he got off a special attack , i dodged icemans heavy attack and went in for my attack he got off an l1 special!!
    3) on the 3rd hit of MY combo i dashed backwards to the edge of the screen and immediately charged right into my opponents attacks
    4) in longer fights,say a minute or better it seems very shaky it doesnt run smoothly its even actually gone slow motion making me lose
    5) my champs freeze and i cant move while my opponent is charging a heavy attack( this happens ALOT!!!)
    Let me add these issues have been occurring for months and i have submitted tickets just to get blown off ,they said it was device problems!
