[Android] 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 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, 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 Google Play 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.

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.

    Description of the Issue: Unintended heavy attacks firing mid combo. It seems that the time required to "hold" a tap for a heavy is very, very short. It is happening for all champs, in all modes. The bug was introduced in version 24.1.5 and despite reports from many users, is yet to be acknowledged by Kabam.

    Wassup Gamers, You can click on the monthly event quest banner on the home screen and then select different quest (like 1.1) and then when the prompt comes up, click quit.

    Vision Aarkus, worst champion ever created by Kabam, his specials/frozen air ability cause intense lag on most devices, it is due to many particles they produce, I will keep reporting this untill you recognize the issue.

    Game mode: Alliance War

    Issue: In alliance war, finished off the first two tiers got the last tier (mini bosses then final Boss tier) after a night of sleep I attacked Domino on node 48 the stun and immune node. I had no control over my champion attacking or when holding block not blocking was able to dexterity at the beginning of the fight but once in the fight nothing. It's almost like I had no control over my character at all I don't know if the controls fell off during the fight or what?? But this is not enjoyable at all and very frustrating. I was running suicides for my masteries, was fully boosted 10% champion boost, 10% attack boost, 15% health boost. I run 6 star Corvus with the Proxima synergy, and had 2 missions complete. It's one thing to lose a fight miss a block or a little slow on a party but this was no control, I had no control over my character at all. I am now considering just quitting the game outright, this is not enjoyable at all, there is no challenge cause I don't have control anyways! Not sure if this is a bug or the complete update? I haven't run the EQ's yet not sure if I should even bother.??

    Dude, I filed the same complaint in the iOS thread. It's like my champs have a mind of their own. Dexxing or moving backwards on their own. Not blocking... I'm having to put in too much effort to control anything.

    We have the same Problem in Our Alliance. It’s so frustrating. And it’s not an issue only of certain devices. No announcement, no nothing. Thats the frustrating Part of Kabam company policy. They need us to Beta test. Everyone is complaining since the update.

    Description of the Issue: Main issues seem to be dex and parry not working properly. I seem to have to judge a lot sooner than normally have to. Example is evading Mephisto's special 1. Normally it would show dex x3 now just twice and get clipped by the specials.

    The AI also seems to do a half 'swipe back' extremely quickly and it's difficult to judge how they are going to react.

    I'm in a discussion group of about 250 players globally and a lot are having the same issue. Android + iOS. To the point some are doing a factory reset on their device.

    Getting this often

    Os version: 8.0
    Cellular or wi-fi: both
    Game version: 24.3
    Game modes: any of them
    List of issues:
    1) wasp doesn't always passively stun the opponent (due to lag? Maybe)
    https://streamable.com/qqunt
    (The issue is present since July)

    2) wasp doesn't land the 2nd guaranteed critical hit. Her heavy makes her shrink down twice, so she should land a critical with the next hit after completing heavy. (Before August update, it was working indeed)
    https://streamable.com/y3wn8

    3)Ghost gets parried, evade, Special countered after 2 miss.
    No other stuff to add here, we are having trouble since march: the AI has been improved, nobody can deny it.
    https://streamable.com/tczzm

    4) Ghost misses her hits against some characters (I.e. against medusa, Thor, Ronan)
    https://streamable.com/mphkz
    https://streamable.com/139uu
    It looks like her hits take too few space and can't land. That could be the source of other bugs, such n.3 and n5... Idk

    5) Ghost can't hit the enemy with her heavy: second hit misses the opponent.

    Those are some of the many bugs I'm facing from months (at least 6). We need them to be fixed

    Hi, it's me again, just hanging out posting the same **** problem that I have posted with every update since 24.1.5. Something is causing random heavy attacks when not requested during attempted combos. This started when version 24.1.5 was pushed to my device on August 22nd. This occurs in all game types, and all heros, producing unwanted heavies.
    the problem is so bad I failed on a Tier 4 Basic run. the unwanted heavy get dodged then get countered or just straight countered over and over. New update same problem. Game is unplayable in current state. Guess someday I will get to play again.

    I would load into a timed fight and after clicking fight the game would never load and proceed to kick me out of the fight, you cant get back into the fight so you have to go back to home page and proceed to lose an attack bonus and half the health of a chosen champ

    Suddenly I am having champs do whatever they want. Dashing forward when I didn't, mot holding block. Also..just used an energy refill to refill all my energy. Moved once and it's gone..had to ask for energy. Closed and reopened game..still not there.

    YES!!!! I was just about to post the same thing. Champs don't evade/dex on swiping back AND decided to run straight across the screen to get beaten up just for the hell of it. I nearly smashed my tablet jn frustration. I wonder kabam, would you reimburse the cost if i did? Currently TRYING to explore 5.3,
    Galaxy s tab 2. Not that it will do me any good posting this.

    Hi. Brought a pixel 4 xl the game loads fine but when you are trying to do a combo the character keeps pulling heavy attacks instead of a 5 hit combo. It's completely unplayable

    Description of the Issue: While in 5.3.5 (CW Black Panther is the boss), I run the path that requires the skill key. The path has power lock and reverse healing, and as I was using Blade in a fight he didn't achieve a full bar, yet I became power locked for the remainder of the fight. With willpower, my health drained dramatically faster and I no longer could use a special.
