In-Game Name: BlackAshSlayer Device and Model: (Galaxy Note 10 plus) Device Operating System: (11) Cellular or WiFi: Cellular (MTN) Game Version: v36.3.1 Game Mode: Battlegrounds Description of the issue: The Game freezes or starts to show no network symbol when I'm either trying to pick champs to use resulting to placing the wrong defender or when the countdown to start a fight ends and then resumes after some time and shows time out. This has happened to me on three different occasions regardless of the champ and it's frustrating considering the resources I put in to buy Elder's mark. Please fix it.
Twice today midfight I've booted booted completely from the game. Both times I was mid fight in AQ. I play off a new galaxy , anyone else having this issue?
During the current incursions series Lifecycle is working incorrectly. It is unwinnable for my account. No matter what I do I cannot defeat the defender. I built up to a special 3 and knocked down the defender with a heavy attack and launched my special 3 and could not defeat the defender. Tried with multiple champions and in multiple incusions attempts. Every series that has lifecycle is unwinnable and I have to exit the series and start over. I have been playing the game for 6 year and I know how to defeat life cycle and cannot under any circumstance currently.
Game is still Crsh8ng during AQ. 1st fight of the day this time. I run with a new galaxy and the in game crashes during AQ are getting costly Can we please look into this

Game crashes constantly, returning me to my home screen. In the cases where it doesn't crash quickly, I'll start getting many visual glitches, the boxes around enemies disappear leaving only the picture and stars underneath on the map, sometime whole parts of a fight screen will be missing or transparent, sometimes there will be glitchy characters, for example, kingpins suit will be orange and glitchy instead of white. Visual glitches don't always happen right off but when they do, I know a crash is gonna happen soon. Most of the time it happens on the map when I go to advance, or in the screen when I am choosing on of my 5 champs, or right after I choose and the fight begins to load. Once it crashes, it takes me several tries to get back into it long enough to continue playing. Sometimes I can actually play it for a little while which is why I haven't just quit this game despite all the time and money I've spent on it. These problems haven't always occured on this device, but it has gotten much worse over the past 2 updates. The music always glitches right before a crash.

Definitely in quests, arena, and AQ, at least Description of the Issue: Game crashes when people use any SP.

So far (admittedly this is only through a few matches), every time anyone has used any SP, the game has crashed. The game is bordering on literally unplayable for me.
Is it any wonder that people haven't been posting issues in the forum post for "issues" when nothing is seemingly done? Doesn't mean the game is fixed, because it isn't. It's people getting tired of doing what they were asked in hopes of a result and being dismayed by the lack of progress. From the red trident of death, to input drops, to lag where it's frozen for multiple seconds.... be better. I used to spend money on this game, but im not going to for a pinto that even the manufacturer knows is a death trap.
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. Game Mode: In which game mode did the error occur? Story Quests, Event Quests, Arena, Alliance Quest or Alliance War.

KABAM, please get your lag issue fixed! This new update on 11-17-22 now makes my game lag ever 30 seconds or every time an opponent launches a special. I can't even scroll through the crystals pages without problems. HtG! This is becoming ridiculous.
Jalane12 Galaxy 9s Wifi Latest update In battlegrounds first time after it was taken down early and now back up, unable to block or dex incoming hits. Been playing for 6 years, I know how to block or dex. KO in 12 sec. Ridiculous that there keeps being this issue. Game is working worse than ever.
Jalane12 Galaxy 9 Wifi Latest Battlegrounds and questing are both not responding during fights. In the middle of a 5 hit combo the defender was able to throw a special 2 in the middle and defeat me. In battlegrounds the enemy can block and stun me during a 5 hit combo without autoblock. Then smack me in the face. Happened 3 different battles in a row.

Hi. Is this thread still being monitored by the game team? I finally caught some lag on video and I hope it does not become a drop in the ocean and that it is noticed. My game will often freeze/lag like this in fight. In this instance I was lucky that it did not happen at a critical moment, but often it will happen as I'm about to get hit and will comoletely throw off my parry/dex.
Been having lag and input issues for about a week on and off on all content. Reinstalled app unclicked all options available and fellow team members having same issues. 2 members retired due to being tired of this. Please fix . Android 22 samsung ultra tried to post video of issues cmwont allow.

This is still happening fairly frequently, especially when people use SP2. It happens at the start of the fight when fighting Terrax often enough I avoid lanes in AQ that have him. But it most consistently happens with Doom and CGR, which means I'm not able to use some of my strongest characters. And it happens extremely frequently in AQ, which means I'm getting damage penalties for things that are in no way my fauult.
There is a Parry issue that we are facing since last couple of days. I confirmed the same in my alliance and other players. This is very annoying as the players are loosing health continuously. Please look into the issue and resolve it asap. Thanks.

Also, after 1 or 2 heavies I can't heavy anymore and just stand there. Just get stuck in an inactive way so block works but parry doesn't register, not sure I explained that one well.
