In-Game Name: MizzSloMo Device and Model: Galaxy S23 Ultra Device Operating System: Android 13 Cellular or WiFi: Both and T-mobile Game Version Installed: 41.3.1 Game Mode: Alliance Quest only Description of the Issue: Infinite loading issue that is affecting our ally [RIOT_]
Alliance Quest only Also getting infinite loading trying to start AQ
New AQ system. Only allows people to participate in maximum of 4 days worth of AQ (across any BG's). If you already did 4 this week, then trying to enter a 5th time (ie, Friday, if you already did Monday thru Thurs), it will result in infinite “Loading” screen.
Kabam will eventually correct this to actually show you that you can’t join more than 4, but for now it just sits there Loading.

In-Game Name: BrandonWolf Device and Model: Galaxy Tab A7 Device Operating System: 12 Cellular or WiFi: WiFi Game Version Installed: Latest 41.2.0 Game Mode: All, Story Quests, Event Quests, Arena, Alliance Quest, Alliance War, Battlegrounds, etc. Description of the Issue: -Lag and crashing issue, I know the lag maybe is because of the device, but the app crashing started 2 updates ago including the latest one. -I'm playing the game as always and after about 6 to 9 fights the game crashes, through all that fights there's a lot of lag and freeze, sometimes even the Google Play pop up that shows your level shows like the app restarted? and this provokes more lag, sometimes this causes the loading screens to be way longer than before and sometimes it just crashes while loading. -Of course this ends up on me disconnecting and joining back the game with 50% less health points. -another thing I saw was lag caused for a lot of particles or at least that's my theory, hitting the block of champions like Overseer, sandman, Vision arkus, etc. Causes a little bit of lag. -I hope this gets fixed because I'm not having a great time playing this last two updates because of that crashing issue, greetings kabam team.
Having exact same issue for last few updates. Motorola 5g, tried buying Samsung A14 and it was doing same thing so I returned it. I have to preemptively restart game every ten fights or so.
