Warning to players using cases. I thought I was lucky and wasn’t experiencing the issue. I would notice my phone get warm after a while but that’s it. Last week while I was playing I got the “low power 20%” warning pretty quick and noticed my phone was warm. I quit the game and out of curiosity took my case off to feel my phone. It was super hot, no way I could’ve been holding it if I didn’t have a case.
I try not to play for too long at a time now and shut down the game if I feel any warmth.
The issue is probably more prevalent than we suspect we people thinking they were fine because if their case.
Android on Samsung Galaxy S7 still working fine here
Android phone also have power drains , but does not have the same impact as IOS devices. This will reduce your battery life. When you leave the make sure game is not running in the background
Hi @kabam pls provide update. Its been a week now and i cant even play my game for more than 20mins! I got some 20% boost that is expiring, and i want to finish up story quest. But with this situation, I really cant. Will you replace my 20% boost if i let it expire?
One of the major changes with 19.0 was no longer supporting iOS 7. I wonder if there was something in the support for iOS 7 that was “stabilizing” The game to a certain extent. Excess heat and battery drain has slowly been getting worse for awhile. Even before the 19.0 update playing for extended periods of time with my phone plugged in was lagging the game. So I wonder if whatever they took out that was supporting iOS 7 just sort of exacerbated a growing problem and made it glaringly obvious…?
The game server sends to much data for devices to cope with.
Kabam Support needed to limit the amount of data sent to phone.
Kabam support need to change game for devices to cope with this new limited data. It could take awhile because support have make sure that the new type of game is safe and payable for the community. Test need to carried on all IOS and devices.
The new game should have no impact to another app or service running on device
Kabam support could be making sure that next patch for game won't have the same impact as 19.0.(I hope so)
Kabam Support will have do this to android devices as they have power drain issues as well, but there is less impact to the hardware
I am not a tech person. Just looking for some good feedback here.
I love this game, but my phone keeps overheating to the point that now it not only shuts down almost as immediately as I open the game. But now also, i can see a separation around the edges of the display.
Are we at risk of having our phones explode in our hands?
Also, what about flying. @kabammiike is there any danger on bringing these devises on board of a plane?
If so, are there any contingency plans in order to avoid say a child bringing a phone into a flight and play mcoc while in flight?
These are very real case scenarios, and any information you could share would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Apple told me not to run the app and to bring my iPad in to see if the battery needs to be replaced. They said they are fully aware of the issue with mcoc and are advising players against logging in....
Im not a tech person either, but i can tell you that your phone being in constant heat will definitely affect hardware's life somehow. Haven't seen any picture of phones exploded due to the game overheat but i would prefer not to be that first one though.
If you are seeing a separation from your display take the phone to an Apple store right away.
Do not open the app!!!
Not joking. Your battery is done and your phone has now become a ticking time bomb. Turn it off! This is serious!!!
Yes. Any bulging of the case of any kind with any device that has a lithium ion battery and you stop using and get checked out, serviced, or replaced. You do this immediately without any further use. This is a sign of lithium ion battery outgassing. It usually just means your battery is toast. It can in rare circumstances lead to fires or other explosive outgassing. It is very rare, but I wouldn't put the phone in my pocket while heading to the Apple store to get it replaced either.

Lithium Ion batteries can explode under certain conditions. However, this "explosion" is not the same thing as an explosion caused by actual explosives. It is due to gasses building up within the battery that eventually rupture the battery case. Because these gasses can be flammable, the combination of heat, possible short circuit within the battery internal components, and pressurized flammable gasses can cause the battery to explode under pressure. This explosion is unlikely to be sufficient to severely damage a commercial airplane. The larger danger is the associated potential for fire. It is worth noting that when the Galaxy Note 7 was banned from commercial flights by the FAA, the expressed reason was the risk of fire from the devices, not the risk of the devices exploding.
I was just discussing this with someone yesterday, not a tech person too. But if a game like MCOC can cause the phone to heat up to such an extent, can someone then take it one step further and cause the phone to explode? This is a real cause for concern as it can be used in terrorism.

They can set it on fire, but not explode (according to DNA3000).
@Kabam I was instructed to post here in regards to my 19.0 overheating and crashing issues on my iOS device. These same issues are being replicated in another game operated by Kabam that you can download in the AppStore. I’m constructively asking kabam mods to look into this. Maybe it’s not so simple of an issue happening just to MCOC. If this is happening in other games operating under the same company, then perhaps it’s not particularly an operating issue, or an Apple issue, or an android issue. Something to look into.
I don’t know but do you guys think Kabam may have been hacked?
Nope they aren't. They do seem to find the time (and need) to remove my previous post from this thread. How about an update guys. This is getting more and more ridiculous every day. In the meanwhile my iPhone is still dead and I'm forced to use and old 2013 Samsung for people being able to reach me if necessary.
At least respond to my PM @Kabam Miike cause I'm holding you guys / Kabam responsible for causing this damage and the costs as a consequence to it.

This is the best update to date. In laments terms they are working on the issue and have no timeline!

Phone overheat = put it down for 20 mins or so.
