[iOS] 21.1 Lag, Crashing and Performance Investigation

bryndenrivers · December 2018

although the maze and ultron variant along with darkhawk path in monthly event are great content, in my experience they are bugged bigtime. my champions dont dash back or block when i command them to. blocks are often broken or the champion dahses in well after the command to dash in. i play on an iphone 8+. is anyone else having these issues? this stuff doesnt happen in alliance war often and its minimal in aq. however these things are happening and its not my timing or my device. if you are having these issues also please add your two cents. furthermore please keep this polite and constructive, our forums are here to hwlp communicate between eachother and the developer not here to put eachother down for whatever reason, please respect that thank you!!!

its not just on new content, happened a couple of times in act v as well, if the hero is too agressive we get hit 5 times before the game allow us to dash back.

I am sorry but why on earth would you narrow the field to ios users only. I am from South Africa and iPhone are as scars as chicken teeth. I am 37 and work in a large vehicle manucaturing company and out of all the people I know from home, work and social life, about 3 people have iPhones. I think Kabam should not try to focus on an operating system which has a large market share in about 3 countries, but rather expand to include all countries and operaring systems. Pleas eguys help the people out who are unwilling to pay 1000 dollars for a phone.

In-Game Name: Invokew
Device and Model: iPhone 6plus
Device Operating System: iOS 12.1.2
Cellular or WiFi: Both
Game Version Installed: 21.1.0
Game Mode: All
Description of the Issue:
control of game lapses at irregular intervals.
Blocks don’t happen.
Dash back doesn’t respond.
Heavy attack will charge by themselves, while in the middle of a LLLM combo.
Special Action button does not respond.
Check connection method constantly, both wifi and cell.
Long load screens and lots of lag through out game.
Overheating phone after about 10mins of play and game becomes slooooow to respond. Need to turn off app for 10mins, to cool down phone.
Game needs to be restarted constantly to improve responsiveness.

Honestly this game feels like a beta release for the nearly the whole year now!

In-Game Name: Dzeimss
Device and Model: iPad Pro 11”
Device Operating System: iOS 12.1
Cellular or WiFi: WiFi
Game Version Installed: Version 21.1.1
Game Mode: All modes
Description of the Issue:
1) Unresponsive controls (happens occasionally for short time period) - fight can start without controls or losing controls in middle of the fight. For example: trying to heavy by holding right thumb and nothing happens not even light hit, doing a 5-hit combo and it stops after fourth hit, trying to block by holding left thumb and nothing happens, trying to dash back and champ doesn’t response etc.
2) Extreme lag after couple of fights in quest modes like Act 5, Monthly Event Quest etc. The more nodes the opponent has the more lag it will be in the fight.

Basically only arena and very easy game modes are doable at the moment. I don't understand how the latest and the most advanced device can have such a lag...

In game name- supercoolpandaz
Device- IPhone XR
Device operating system- 12.0.1
Cellular or WiFi- Both
Game version installed- 21.1.1
Game Mode- Event Quest (cold challenges)
Description- Going into the quest there is lag of about 5 minutes and then another lag of 5 minutes when I tap on the opponent (or get ambushed by vulture) to go to the hub to pick which player to fight with. But once I pick a champion to fight with it loads normally but then once I beat the opponent there is a lag period again of about 5 mins and then the same with iceman. Plz help.

JediJones77 · December 2018

In-Game Name: JediJones77
Device and Model: iPhone 6 Plus
Device Operating System: iOS 12.1.2
Cellular or WiFi: Both
Game Version Installed: 21.1.1
Game Mode: Story Quest and Ultron Quest
Description of the Issue: The game crashes EVERY TIME a Symbiode ambushes a node in Act 4. This has been going on for weeks. Now it's become 100% consistent and predictable. It crashes absolutely EVERY time one pops up. Usually it happens before the Symbiode character's graphic is done loading on the "select your champ" screen. The entire game just disappears from the phone screen and minimizes to the background. Once the game is reopened, I have to re-enter the quest and click on the ambush node again from the path. Then it successfully loads the "select your champ" screen and starts the fight every time. Currently I'm near the end of Act 4 so it's been happening on the parts with the Lady Thor and Elektra bosses.

This crash is ALSO happening on a lot of nodes with Ultron drones in the "classic mode" of the Ultron quest. I can't remember right now if those are Ambush nodes or regular nodes. Sometimes on those fights I think it manages to start the fight for a split second before crashing. That means when reopening the game in those cases it will ask to continue the fight in progress.

The crash never happens on nodes with regular champs in these particular quests, just the Symbiodes and Ultron drones.

BirdReynolds · December 2018

Partner and I both had serious issues in dungeons tonight. Blocks either aren’t registering or are activating so late it doesn’t matter. Couldn’t even make it through 3 rooms in dungeon 7, we normally go through 5 in one run.

Game Version Installed: 21.1.1)
Game Mode: Arena, 4* Featured, 4* Basic, 3* Featured and Summoner
Issues: Experiencing a brief lag at the beginning of each fight. Some are a quick blip while others are more pronounced. Definitely affecting game play, first kiss parry is not effective and reverting to dashing back solves that issue but the brief lag is still present. I have screen captures of a few if needed from the 4* basic arena.

Well I came here looking to see if Iphone6+ was compatible with MCOC still, but noticed a bunch of newer phone having the same problems. So I would either like an explanation of the problem or you all at Kabam need to do your jobs.

Posting here now since my thread was shut down. Haven’t gotten a single response here yet on this. This issue has been going on for over a month now. Sometimes the loading is only 15/20 seconds. Other times it’s a minute and a half while going into eqs and after fights. I can’t just jump in game and get a few quick fights because of this.

Game crashes while loading a fight; after restart, my champion has had half of their health taken from them. Completely unfair and has been happening for years. Please fix this issue.

iPhone 8+, fully updated.

I have not been the subject of too much lag lately. However, the crystal vault, since the addition/removal of this month's new crystals has been heavily affected. This isn't a once in awhile, or I need to restart my game issue. If it was either, I would chalk it up to random performance issues. But every time I go to the crystal vault, The crystals themselves will appear immediately but my profile pic, the chat at the bottom and any interaction won't load for some time. The time can be anywhere from 5-8s to 20s.

Apologies if this has been brought up elsewhere.

Isn't that quite normal now?

Rudeazi · January 2019

Yeah... I’m having general exceptionally long loading screens for sure, but the biggest (and most unusual problem I have is the game crashing completely whenever I try to enter a fight with an ambush symbioid in story quest... I’m noticing it in Act 4.3.4 and 4.3.5... this happens on every single ambush symbioid regardless of battery level.
