    Device: Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016)
    System: 5.1.1
    Cellular/Wi-Fi: only WiFi, but very reliable connection
    Version: 23.0.1
    Game mode: Fights, Crystal vault, Champions collection
    Description: Crystal vault takes ages to load, reaction time is extremely long. Same goes for champ screen. About 15% of fights stop for about 5 seconds on one frame and after some time it continues quite fluently. I know my device isn't the newest, but the game has always run quite smoothly (small lags, but bearable)

    Device Operating System: Android 8.0.0
    Cellular or WiFi: BOTH
    Game Version Installed: 23.0.1
    Game Mode: ALL MODES
    Description of the Issue: After 10 minutes playing, the game crashes. Sometimes health bar disappears than it crashes on the next fight. Playing arenas it crashes after 3 fights. It started to happen 3 months ago when the second to last update was released (final boss of monthly mission was Anquilus). I thought it was a problem with my new phone, but now I realize that it may be the game by itself. Please fix this. I don't feel motivated anymore, the game got harder but the earning of gold and units is too low compared to the cost to rank up heroes and finish missions. Go back to give us 30 units in arena's milestones. Finishing missions costs a lot. And there must be a daily mission for GOLD!

    Description of the Issue: can't log into game since v23.0 was first released, and only on WiFi at work; no issues on other wifi networks, at home or public (starbucks, gym, restaurants...etc). This was not an issue prior to v23.0; in fact, I was logged on v22 at work when the update came out, and downloaded the v23 update on work wifi, but once installed I could no longer log in. Also, I don't experience any issues connecting to other services while on work wifi; facebook, YouTube, browsing, gaming (Marvel strike force), all work fine!

    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.

    Specifically Crystal vault takes forever to load, fights take forever to load and to get back to map, lag during fights. SUPER FRUSTRATING!!

    War, Arena

    The game is incredibly lagging. Couple that with AI that has immediate response times and the passive pattern going on, and it is really difficult to play properly. We've had it all Season in War. It's almost impossible to play properly. The Arena is lagging as well. I really do hope this can be resolved. This Season has been hell to play. Thanks.
  • GroundedWisdomGroundedWisdom Member Posts: 36,654 ★★★★★
    To be more specific, my controls are lagging, but the AI will Block immediately. It will sit passively until an L3. There's a freeze in controls that comes now and then, and the AI will Intercept by default. Loading times are increased, and lag overall. Hope that's a bit more info. Lol.

    Game Version Installed: 23.0.1
    Game Mode: Arena, Alliance Quest, Alliance War, Duel
    Description of the Issue: There is a constant delay in all loading screens, including logging onto the game and entering different content. The arenas take forever to connect both before and after the fights start. The rewards take too long to display. Those 2 have been the primary issues I have been noticing ever since 23.0 came out. I have, however, more recently started to notice the delay while the fights take place. More often than not the animations are not in sync and it becomes harder and harder to parry or intercept. I have been decent at those skills for quite some time now and this sudden change cannot simply be because of a lack of skill. The controls are freezing occasionally, if not consistently. The lag makes dashing in after the enemy throws a special harder, and more often than not they simply counter with a special. The delay between the tap and the respective animation is pretty obvious and they are being liberally punished by the AI. Oh and don't get me started on hoe opening crystals is hell now.
    Please give us an approximate timeline as to when we can expect improvements. Don't make us quit the game after we've been invested so much already.

    Cellular or WiFi: Both - Cricket Wireless / All WiFi
    Game Version Installed: 23.0.1
    Game Mode: Crystal Vault

    Description of the Issue: I have been experiencing lag in the crystal vault for some time, but since the Version 23 update, the vault is unresponsive nearly 99% time. I can navigate through the game menus while I'm on the crystal vault screen, but nothing in the vault responds to touch...

    So, TO CLARIFY:
    This is not an issue with lag in the app, since I can access mail, or view my profile, or go to the unit store, or navigate AWAY from the crystal vault to, say, go to the Fight screen - all while IN the crystal vault, but I cannot access anything in the vault itself... Also, the background stops moving, even though I can still click on other menus. The background starts moving again once I navigate away from the crystal vault.

    Once again - I do not have serious issues anywhere else in the game - the crystal vault, however, is now completely UNRESPONSIVE after the V23 update.

    Game Mode: Story Quests, Event Quests, Arena, Alliance Quest, Alliance War, and Crystal vault

    Description of the Issue:

    Lagging issues I've experienced

    1. Disapearents of Health and power bar

    2. Fight and menu crashes

    3. Crystal vault crashes

    4. Game freezes and then crashs

    5. Crashes in pre-fight loading screen


    I've been experiencing lag for the last year or so. I hope we get some kind of compensation for this problem. Every time a new update came out, the same lag got worse. Before it would only affect fights, but now it's affecting some champions as well.

    Even with the lag, I've still remained faithfully to this game. Some champions I relized that experience lag is M.O.D.O.K, King Groot, Mordo, Red Hulk.

    I trust you guys will solve it from here! :)

    Description:
    General lag everywhere, five hit combos fail due to last hit not registering. After special 3 attack, my champion dashes into the opponent without any input from me and while I am holding block. Mostly happens with Hyperion. Act 5.3 lag is the worst i have noticed this far, cost me many units and revives due to lag and my combos failing to land last medium attack and my specials fail to land due to opponents blocking and I get rekt. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. thank you.
