New input issues since September update

Anyone else feel like there are more input issues now. Trying to throw 5 hit combos and randomly heavy attacking. Specials not throwing, or enemy throwing them first, despite pressing the special button first. And not dashing back when prompted

Im having more parry issues than normal

Can’t even trust parry when you see the prompt cuz it doesn’t work. Also get lots of times when you parry but just get bounced back and the opponent isn’t stunned. Very frustrating.

Opt out of the beta input feature. Games working better since I’ve done that

Not in the beta input since it makes it noticeably worse. Parry is super unreliable and my dexes seem late half the time. They just stopped responding to these posts already.

Input issues are increased after update.

They don't have answers and unable to fix either. Discussion will be closed saying report in particular thread. nothing else.

Combat lag seems worse. It was bad anyway so not great.

iPhone 12 all latest updates.

@Kabam Miike is there an effort to try to see what’s going on here? Timing seems “off” (I know that’s 100% non-quantitative and anecdotal) with a lot of inputs for me as well as others on this and similar threads.

I feel like things got better mid-summer after the input fixes, although there were still some remaining issues. But this month has been a detour for me. Parry, game stutter, input drops…all of the above.

A few simple questions—apologies because I know they’ve likely been addressed at other times, but I’d love to know if anything has changed:
1) Is there any reason things like VPNs or having a few other apps open (Line, Explorer) would cause the game to lag?
2) Should we shut down and restart after a period of time (e.g., 15 minutes)?
3) Is there a current “map” that shows where to tap for each type of input (I ask because it seems like the block input has shifted upwards for me over time)?
4) Is any of this noticeable on your end? Do your testers see lag and stutter when they play?
5) Does it help to have both of the Beta switches (New Input System+Opt in) turned on? Or just one of them?
6) Do you have any suggestions that *might* help?

I realize it’s difficult. So many different connections on so many different devices. But at this point I will take any direction to make it run more smoothly on my device.

Thanks

Even dashing back can be problematic where the you're moving back which feels like half the distance and the defender closes the distance much, much quicker.

I'm having a very unique and annoying issue.

Sometimes when the game freezes for 2-5 seconds, my champ would come out charging a heavy. Even if I let thr screen go, they will still be charging. Both hands are off the screen mind you.

The even more fun part? After that happens and IF I live from the bug, I can no longer do heavy attacks for the rest of the match. Using Shang Chi went to hard mode without heavies.

It's not exactly easy to record this either. I'd have to get another phone on standby to record my hands doing the actions and I'd somehow have to be able to get the initial freeze and heavy issue.

Control is worse than usual, what should of been an easy simple fight, end up lose 4 revises, because of control issues, can't dex, can't Parry.

How long will these control issue continue, it have been over a year and no further update for so many months now.

We keep reports input problem but no update from the team.

The input system has never been remotely fixed on any of my devices regardless of version, connection speed etc. As I've outlined in another post, I've played this game every day since the 2nd month it was out, so I'm very familiar with the timing of every hero. However, I think it is worth mentioning on this post that I have noticed even worse inputs after the September update. One specific error that has just so obviously been broken in the recent patch is when opponent is throwing a heavy attack and you're trying to dex it. There is a very long and obvious pause, where you have time to dex twice, but you still get hit by the heavy attack. Very strange behavior.

The problem is not our devices. Inputs have never been fixed. Don't allow yourselves to be gaslighted. It's obvious by the number of new input posts alone that even people who are less capable of noticing the subtle failures are noticing issues. Clearly another failed tweak to the system was made. It's time to turn compensation back on and leave it on, until it's actually fixed, because the small compensation packages once a month in no way made up for every fight being broken in the first place.
