[iOS] 24.3 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 iOS version of The Contest, please reply using the template below.

This thread is for iOS users only.


In-Game Name: Please include your in-game (not forum) name.
Device and Model: (Example, iPhone 7)
Device Operating System: (Example, iOS 11) You can find out the operating system on an iPhone by going to Settings, then General and scrolling down to “Version.”
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 App Store and confirm that you have the latest version installed which will show you the number. This thread is only for those on the 24.3 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.

    Description of the Issue: Aegon will take damage on intercepts after persistent combo reaches 700 or so (maybe 750). I at first thought this was an error on my part, but after watching a replay of fighting, it I clear I was making contact before the opponent hit me.

    @rmilana41 @DennisAlley I found a way to get out of your champions being locked in the EQ, If you go to story mode and join there, it'll ask if you want to quit the EQ that you're in. Just click quit or exit, then you'll be able to continue using your champions. Just dont try to go back into the same EQ that the Error is occurring in.

    Game Version Installed: 24.3 version of the game.
    Game Mode: All
    Description of the Issue: Since the game update, I have issues where my champion just freezes in the middle of fights, swipes don’t register, and my champion stops mid combo. It is especially bad in AQ. Parry is almost impossible as well, and sometimes my champion does heavy attacks without me touching my screen. Same things happen to an alliance mate with the same device and set up.

    Issues. Champs freeze and stop mid combo. Parry only works half the time. Champs perform heavies without provocation. Trying to heavy causes the champ to dash backwards half the time.

    Description of the Issue: Parry is almost impossible...like it just does not work. Sometimes my champ dexes or dash backwards without me touching my screen. Heavies seem sluggish at time as well...I'm having to put too much effort into getting a heavy off. Trying to heavy causes the champ to dash backwards half the time. Sometimes it just feels like the game has mind of its own and I'm not controlling anything.

    Version 24.3.

    Crazy lags in various spikes (like when lots of animation or other processes done at once). Resulting in no game play control e.g. no parry, making unintended heavies and so on.
    Worst lags results in complete game shutdown (back to main screen In iOS).

    Very warm phone. Like the same level as when we last had over heating problems.

    Hopefully this is a temporary problem. Game seems pretty unplayable.

    All began with 24.3 on iOS 13.

    Game mode: Everywhere

    Gameplay changes in speed all the time. Sometimes response is so bad that parry and evade comes very late. Hit special button and nothing happens. After pressing several times it suddenly activates. Opponent is moving normal speed and starts to both be very rapid and any moves over a large distance very fast. This gameplay is getting so difficult to anticipate anything coming in a matchup.

    Can you please comment that this has any focus from your side at all?
