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 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.

Device Operating System: (Example 8.0) You can find the operating system version on Android by going to Apps, then Settings and “About Device.”

I'm still experiencing the same list of bugs that were supposed to be fixed dashing in after specials getting combo d into Oblivion after sentinels sp1 block not holding sometimes the game slows down and fights are super slow mo just the same experience from the last month?

When in arenas, I can't go more than 3 series of fights and the game freezes then crashes. In the monthly EQ, there will be a visual glitch that causes some graphics to be missing, then I'll go to start the next fight and it crashes. Can't even complete a single path without having to relaunch the game. These 2 issues alone have been constant for the last 4 months. Most recently, I went to start a fight in AQ, screen blacks out, force close the game, restart it and my champ is at half health. Why am I being punished for a glitch in your system? I would just like to play the game. I don't want to constantly have to be restarting it every 5-10 minutes.

description:
Same problem experiencing for months,(about 6) had 2 weeks with no issues after 22.1 (hot patch) , but now it is the same. Champions do not obey at all, dropped inputs, mid combo they stand still, they dont block, dont special, dont dash when commanded to , they just sit there/walk forth getting hit in the face. It is like cheat mode in game but you are the one getting pumelled. Please look into it . Been reporting this for a long time. I shifted alliance twice and many android users using various devices have these issues.

Problem: The animation of the characters is slow; unpleasantly interfering with the concentrations; correct the FPS or taimings that would have been the same before, since April it has been going on, I’ve been supporting you very hard, thanks in advance.

Description of the Issue: Game judders like hell now, you cannot fight in game its pretty much useless. I cannot do anything in the game, it is a guessing game if I have made any contact while fighting. Furthermore, you cannot tell when to block because the stuttering is so bad... Honestly, compensation would be great. Say some alliance points would be nice!!!

I recently sent you a message concerning the lagging on loading and the crystals and before the fights, and I downloaded the patch afterwards but it only made it slower and lag longer, please resolve.

All game modes getting auto dashing after sp3, lag stuttering frame rates. Champions not working properly. No ability to backdraft intercept among many other issues. Arena fights still freeze from time to time. Fox your game, been conplete garbage since 22.0. Can't immediately parry medium attacks due to frame rates being off by a mile.

In every game mode backdraft doesn't work at all, the game always lags and I am experiencing every single bug that you should have fixed with the update, in particular: sfx problems, sentinels reacting too quickly after sp1, parries are often pierced, even by domino with her projectiles, and every champ I have dashes into the enemy after every sp3. I hope that you fix this unworking game and give us the right compensations, cause we are literally dying because of these problems.
