[Android] 20.0 Lag, Crashing and Performance Investigation

Hi Summoners!

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 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.

Device and Model: (Example, Samsung 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 Play Store and confirm that you have the latest version installed which will show you the number. This thread is for users on the 20.0 version of the game only. (Example, 17.1.5)
Game Mode: In which game mode did the error occur? Story Quests, Event Quests, Arena, Alliance Quest or Alliance War.
Description of the Issue: Please include a full and complete description of the lag and performance issue you are experiencing with as much relevant detail as possible. This includes any specific Champions affected and how long you’ve been experiencing the issue.

    Game locking a lot and closing alone.
    I lost several fights because of the errors, I can not continue in the arenas and other events because I'm losing fights when the game crashes.
  • Same issue here my phone is Xiaomi Mi Redmi 4 overheating and very slow after 20.0 update I can’t play arena and not open the crystal in this condition I will probably damage the phone .
    Also I’m losing 5% to 6% battery for every fight in AQ (around 2 minuets/fight).
    When the phone starts to get really hot none of the phone functions are working ( volume buttons,home button,on and off button) I have to force restart the game to exit to home screen.
    All the other apps are working normal,only MCOC app having this issue after I updated the game.

    The game lags a lot after updating to 20.0 also My ally members have same issue.

    Game Mode: Story Quest, Event Quest
    Description: Lag is certainly not consistent, but the following occurrences are the most common for me:
    1) When the defender dashes in towards me, the game would stop for a split second, not allowing me to block. This has happened most recently vs Rhino, the boss of the first map quest in the monthly event quest. It happened frequently in story mode act 5.
    2) At the beginning of the fight, right after the attacker and the defender run toward each others, the game would stop for a split second, not allowing me to block or parry.
    I hope you guys are working on it.

  • Tag Vampirexlord123 device, Samsung galaxy core prevails with 4.4.4 Android updates latest version 20.1 with WiFi full bars. Game modes affected, all of them. Fighting starts choppy for about 30 seconds or fine, then gets choppy. Makes playing very frustrating when taking damage you can easily avoid & discourages me from playing.

    Description of the Issue: lagging, choppiness, in game freezing making it not fun to attempt content. Lag/choppiness caused me to inadvertently buy a crystal today, so I'm about ready to stay away as much as possible.

    Darkstar4387
    Version 20.0

    I've been having major issues since 20.0 and some other updates were released, issues like these.

    1. Slowdowns.
    2. Lag in the beginning of the fight.
    3. Extreme lag and stalls when trying to open crystals, freezes, champion portrait disappearers so does energy information which persists even after navigating away from the game.
    4. Getting disconnected when moving to other apps.
    5. Crashing
    6. Network connection issues
    7. Slow movement when navigating maps
    8. Long loading times when checking champions, portrait of champions load slow, when checking them and switching between them it has a small spinning circle for a but before they load and slowdowns when scrolling down champions
    9. Slow loading on home screen
    10. Slow start up
    11. Champions refusing to move properly
    12. Getting specials blocked at alarming clip
    13. Other champions still appearing in information screen

    And much more since 20.0, was working fine for the most part but since the last updates it's slowed to a crawl and I know it is not my phone since everything else is working perfectly fine including other more demanding gsmes like pubg with almost no issues.

    Honestly you guys really need to get it together and actually fix the game and your servers before other players and I just decide that this game just isn't worth it anymore and are getting tired of all these bugs and issues that plague this game that either never get fixed or they take a extremely long time to do so.

    I miss the days prior to 12.0 where they game was farily stable and they activily fixed bugs and gave us compansation when there were issues and let's face it the overall gameplay and has declined a lot since then.
