**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

[iOS] 24.0 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 crashing, lag, unresponsive controls or performance problems in the iOS version of The Contest, please reply using the template below.

This thread is for iOS users only.

Device and Model: (Example, iPhone 7)
Device Operating System: (Example, iOS 11) You can find out the operating system on an iPhone by going to Settings, then General and scrolling down to “Version.”

Game Version Installed: To check which version of the game you have installed, go to the App Store and confirm that you have the latest version installed which will show you the number. This thread is only for those on the 24.0 version of the game.
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.

    Description of the Issue: I get lag a few times per fight or a massive frame rate drop. Typically this occurs when the opponent is dashing in for a medium hit or casting a special attack. It doesn’t happen every time but I notice it at least once if that fight last longer than 20 seconds or so.

    Description of the Issue: After selecting a champion to fight, before it starts to load or during the loading sreen, it crashes. Normally it happens after 7 or 10 minutes of game-play. But sometimes it happens right after I open the app after 2 or 3 hours of rest on my phone. There is not a particular champion that has been affecting my game-in experience.

    This had been going on for 5 months now and still nothing. Y’all aren’t doing your job when the game is at the very least 70% playable and then say you are working on fixing it and months go by. People have been compensated for 6.2 and that came out a month ago, but yet we have been waiting since February and nothing has been resolved or even sent to those being affected by this issue. I was affected by it in February to March and nothing was sent to me or anyone else affected. How is it fair for people being compensated for 6.2 which was released last month, but people who are being affected because of crashing and lagging haven’t received any form of compensation. We need to be compensated for this issue. Please fix this.

    Description of the Issue: IPhone keeps crashing as Domino vs Domino match starts in Chapter 2.2 Domino has the synergy so she's the champion chose. I've restarted exactly 21 times and she's now at 761 health and I'm not restarting the chapter. I've spent energy etc., getting to the point I'm at so here are my choices: wait until it's patched and then finish from where I'm at, or miss out on completing master mode and it's rewards. I'm again, not restarting and resetting and if necessary I'll just not finish master mode just to prove my point. This is on you guys. Never complained before but this is getting absurd. I play on one of if not the best devices and shouldn't be having this issue. If I end up leaving my champs there for 30 more days so be it but this is on you guys. I pay to play this game and this is not the way I'd have this be but oh well. It is what it is. If it doesn't get resolved then I'll post again in a month if they end up stuck for that long.

    It happened to me too back in February, but for me it was 4.3.5 and I would get ambushed them it crashed on me with my iPhone 6s. Even though my phone is older then yours it is still able to play this this because I keep it up to on every update that comes out for the phone. I think they are stupid for taking this long to fix something. In February it went to mid March before I could do anything in 4.3.5 and so on. My game is working good now, but they should’ve sent everyone affected because this issue a compensation package. Y’all are dropping the ball on your game because y’all aren’t doing to fix the issue and compensate for it.

    Hi I am reporting a bug I have found since the most recent update. In back to back alliance wars now whenever my 5* duped rank 4 domino fights another domino my game crashes and the app restarts at the start of the fight. It is not an issue on my end. It has now happened in 2 aw in 4 fights. I go back in with corvus and am completely fine. Domino is a main counter to a duped domino. I am also the main boss killer for my bg. This bug has cost me resources and atleast one aw loss and possibly this one too. Please look into this issue tag is deltasky1024. Thanks

    I face dropped frame rates and the occasional stutter while in the arena but not when doing story or event quests. And the game sometimes just crashes out in the middle of the fight or just gets stuck on the loading screen for a long time, have to force restart.

    I think it's been reported recently, but I didn't see an admin acknowledgement.
    The issue is as follows on an iPhone 8:
    When an enemy throws an SP3 and you want to exit (KO yourself), it exits and the game then has the wheel of death and infinitely loads - requiring a restart.

    Description of the Issue: When an enemy throws an SP3 and you want to exit (KO yourself) to save yourself time, it exits and the game then has the wheel of death and infinitely loads - requiring a restart. This did not use to be an issue until this update.

    Other Summoners seem to be facing this issue too as outlined in the below thread:

    Re: INFINITE LOADING SCREEN AFTER EXITING AN ENEMY'S SP3...
    Happened to me too (above thread about problem was Closed).

    Description of the Issue: Quickly doing Arena just for finding Spiderverse opponentts for Objectives, not caring about Points or Streak. So on an opponent's SP3 (non-Spiderverse) I just wanted to Exit fight and take the Loss, and move on to next fight (or even just lose the Match and proceed to next match looking for Spiders). **Sits at LOADING SCREEN forever after quitting the fight during opponent SP3.

    Description of the Issue: my devices keeps heating up after game is running for 5 minutes.. doesnt matter if i do fights in any event, or just browsing. Opening any crystal can anything from fairly quick to more than 10 to show hero or catalyst. Grinding in arena alway have huge delays in showing opponents heroes. The laggy response is costly then doing events since the parry and evade is so slow to react that resources is spent to complete the tasks. AI is of course never having any lag and crushing the Attacker.
    This have been going on for months and it’s about time that you fix this !!

    You need to get to the root cause why there are players having the trouble when others don’t, it doesn’t seam to be players network that causing the issues, you cannot have the game only to run smoothly on the newest units with high processing power.

    I fear that players stop reporting the issues because it doesn’t seam to be addressed anyway. The laggy, heat up, unresponsive gameplay is very much here still !!

    Luckily for Kabam that you have a very fun game, else a lot would move on and found a new game.

    I'm scared to even open crystals now because the game glitches the whole time it's spinning or it freezes then kicks me out

    If you begin your post there with your specific device, versions, etc (see format from Kabam on initial msg of each of these 2 threads), they hopefully can spot trends that may be device/speed/etc dependent.

    Hey eveyone,
    my iPhone 7 has been overheating for multiple weeks now and I have been okay with it as it usually happens after 30 mins of gameplay or so. But the last two weeks its become so bad that I might as well replace my stove with my phone... Jokes aside I can only play for a maximum of 10 minutes before my phone is burning hot. This means I can't do arena or clear new content without having to take long breaks which is ruining the game for me.

    As mentioned I am using an iPhone 7 with the latest ios (12.4) and I only experience this issue when I'm playing MCOC. Does anyone else have this issue or maybe even a soloution?
