**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

WHAT IS THIS? WEIRD MESSAGES IN MY GAME! [Under Investigation]

edited December 2017 in Bugs and Known Issues
My game is infected with these weird nonsense messages. They are everywhere, on every screen, in every part of the game. Is the game broken? Is this some kind of virus? They don't even make any sense. Is anyone else experiencing this? Please help!

    Probably best to redownload the game. Looks like something got corrupted or something
  • FilmScorpionFilmScorpion Posts: 130
    I'm afraid to do that. If I uninstall the whole game app, and download it again... will I lose all my account information? I'm hoping this is an issue with the game, that many people are having. I hope it's not just me.

    If you are linked to a kabam account (or play store/Apple ID, it should restore all your saved progress

    Thank you, Lightvayne. I will try it, if it doesn't fix itself after a while. I'm still hoping this is a problem from the game, like a widespread bug or something, and the game people will fix it soon. Isn't that more likely?

    How could something get corrupted only in my game? I haven't downloaded any files or apps or software recently. I don't think I'm infected with anything. All my other apps work fine.

    Thanks again for helping!

    Those are programing codes
  • FilmScorpionFilmScorpion Posts: 130
    What does that even mean? What are "programing codes"? Is that like a virus? And how do you know what they are?

    I've seen stuff like this before in a YouTube video, something gets overwritten when you update. You're looking at lines of code most likely. Deleting and reinstalling the game will probably fix it, just make sure you know your Kabam Account information.

    Having the same issue. Wasn't there this morning (10 est)
  • FilmScorpionFilmScorpion Posts: 130
    Kabam Wolf, thank you. I went to sleep shortly after posting my comments here, and I just woke up now. It's Saturday, 9:25 am here. Anyway... I just opened the game, and all that weird stuff is gone. The game is fine now. So... I don't know. I guess you fixed it? Or it went away by itself? Either way, thank you very much. I hope it doesn't come back.
  • InsidousReignInsidousReign Posts: 6 ★
    Still have the issue
  • mydnightmydnight Posts: 671 ★★★
    I reinstalled the game and it fixed this problem. Try it.

    I downloaded the game from the Google Play Store. So I don't know what you're talking about.

    Anyway, the problem never came back. I haven't seen those messages all day. So I guess I'm good now.

    It came back again just now for me too. I always get from play store, so that isn't the issue.

    Lol! Attack of the code!

    I think a new update is coming in the next days.

    If you're afraid to accidentally delete your account reinstalling the app, then just wait for the new version release and update it.

    I am having the same issue and I’ve re installed the game and it’s still there. It has been here for about a week
