**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.

[Android] 24.1 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.

    Game version- 24.1.1
    Game Mode- Event quests, sinister labs (only tested modes)
    Description- Whole fighting with Darkhawk, I get slight lag when parrying attacks, worse lag when parrying in shield mode. There is lag whenever I switch modes. But null mode is easily the worst. Massive lag whenever null mode is up, taking hits, or attacking. I also have lag issues with human torch, whenever attacking, blocking, or firing specials. There is lag whenever I hit namors block for a second. And there is constant lag when fighting Mysterio throughout the entire fight regardless of whatever actions I do. Please fix these issues.

    Game Version Installed: 24.1.1
    Game Mode: all
    Description of the Issue: This has been an on going issue for months. my champs will block instead of dash back, or not block when I try to block. Also specials will sometimes not trigger. For example I'll do a five combo, go to fire off a special and nothing happens. Both of these issues will just cause my champs to stand there and just eat a combo. As I said this is not new and seems to persist no matter how many updates come out.

    Here see for yourself. This should not be difficult to replicate. All you need to do is open up champion tab select void and check his synergies.

    Game version: 24.1.1
    Game mode: Story quest, event quest and alliance quest
    As of recently I have lost energy and spent items because I thought maybe it's my device causing problems but as I speak with teamates and others in the game I know it's not just me. I can't enjoy the game when I can't fight because my champs are not dodging back but lunging forward or instead of blocks they attack causing me to get knocked out! Please fix this! Thank you

    Game Version: 24.1.1
    Game Mode: All modes
    Here are the following problems i started experiencing after the drop of 24.1.1
    1.When i opened up my game today i couldn't access the unit store , the alliance tab or any summoner profile including my own - the game would just freeze up and i had to force close it and open it again.
    2. Loading screens became exceptionally long sometimes lasting for about 4-5 minutes other times it would just remain at the loading screen indefinitely until i force close the game.
    3. As of posting this comment i can no longer go past the initial loading screen and i cannot get into the game at all.

    I have tried to uninstall and install the game a new, restarting my device , clearing the game cache , clearing google play cache , re-did my setting for apps that can appear over other apps and none of those work so far. I'd appreciate if you could look into this.

    So I don't have the best phone in the bussiness. A lot of times it's slow and until the last 3 or 4 mcoc updates the game crashed very often. But that problem was now "taken care off" because the game got really smooth with an update and it wouldn't crash anymore. Well, at least that was what I thought!

    A few days ago I updated the game to V24.0 and the game was still really good. A few days later I saw that there´s a new update and it was the biggest mistake I could have made!!! Now my game crashes after 1 fight, where I have to restart it every time I'm fighting a new opponent. It's really annoying since the game takes some time to load and is making me lose some interest in the last 2 or 3 days.

    I want to know if this happened to anyone else and if this is a problem that KABAM can fix with another update (V24.1.2)?

    S9+ and it happens to me, though not as frequent as your situation. It also seems to throw specials out when I want to block, drops some of my blocks, among other things. Been playing from nearly the begining of mcoc and this is usual. Always some sort of bug(s) going on. Stopped handing out my money to them over it and not getting the new sigil because they'd rather charge money than fix game imbalances that should've been done ages ago....for free.

    Happens on both, but more on wifi

    Game version- 21.1.1

    Game mode- All

    1.When i opened up my game today i couldn't access the unit store , the alliance tab or any summoner profile including my own - the game would just freeze up and i had to force close it and open it again.
    2. Loading screens became exceptionally long sometimes lasting for about 4-5 minutes other times it would just remain at the loading screen indefinitely until i force close the game.
    3. It's an intermittent problem that has been getting worse. This sucks because I'm missing out on aq, aw, arena, event quests, and solo/ alliance rewards.

    I have tried to uninstall and install the game a new, restarting my device , clearing the game cache , clearing google play cache , re-did my setting for apps that can appear over other apps and none of those work so far. I'd appreciate if you could look into this.

    Oi, eu e meus colegas de aliança estamos tendo problema quando o comando para trás da A Quest, ela está falhando com alta frequência, também estamos tendo problema com os especiais, as vezes não sai, principalmente quando damos combo de 5 golpes e acionamos o especial, na maioria das vezes falha.

    Hello , recently I have sold my iPhone XR and switch to an Android phone OnePlus 7 pro ( fastest Android phone on the market atm)
    I have been playing mcoc for a long time and I've gotta tell you I'm on the verge of quitting the game because of how frustrating it is to dash or block on an Android device.I don't want to be forced to play on an IPhone and I don't want to quit the game so kabam please give me a little bit of hope here.. I know that the game is old but thinking that for this much time this wasn't addressed properly makes me a bit stressed about the customer care.i could do variant without any items and now I can barely get through the 3rd fight due to unresponsiveness parry or dashes. I've gathered some information about Android vs iPhone and all I heard was never play mcoc on android.People should not be forced to play on iPhone or iPad but enjoy the game instead of being frustrated.

    Description of the Issue: There is a certain lag when hitting mister sinisters block, using icemans special 2, using omega red sp3, getting hit from mister sinister sp3. Lag seems to occur when high graohics content is loaded. I did not have this issue previously and have been facing it for about 2 weeks. Please look into this issue.

    Game mode: Dungeon Invites
    Description: Every time I get a dungeon invite, I open it and the game completely freezes. I have to exit the game and re-start. It does not even display who sent the invite. I have not received a successful dungeon invite in several rounds of the dungeons now. In addition, there is still notable lag when opening crystals, where the crystal will show the star value, or the amount of a given item (like catalyst fragments, for instance), but not the picture of what the item is. So I may see a PHC dropped a 2 star, but it takes several seconds for the image of which champ to show. Or a daily crystal drops 3000 fragments of some catalyst, but it takes a few moments before I see that they are T4 basic catalyst fragments.
  • A dias tenho notado um problema em que a masmorra nos impede de pregredir nas depois de 4 salas e você perde quase todos seus pontos conquistados. Pois o jogo trava e só volta depois do término. E notei que isso não é problema de internét e sim um problema instalado pela kabam! !!

    Game Mode: Alliance Quest
    Description of the Issue: I was playing Captain Marvel (Movie) in alliance quest against a Cosmic Symbioid. I was doing a normal 5-hit combo and immediately followed up by a Special 1. The Symbioid blocked right before I fired off my Special 1, even though there was no possible gap. He then fired of a Special 2 which cost me 80% of Captain Marvel's health.

    There is another lag issue on the lower end phones concerning some champions in the Contest (especially from the newer ones), regardless of the game mode:

    - Darkhawk's block, Specials
    - Dormammu's Special 2
    - Ghost Rider's Special 2 (when getting hit by it)
    - Gladiator Hulk's Special 1
    - Havok's Special 1
    - Heimdall's Special 2
    - Hulk's Special 1
    - King Groot's Special 2
    - Mister Sinister's Block, Specials, animations altogether
    - Mysterio's block, Specials, animations altogether
    - Nick Fury's block, Special 1
    - Omega Red's Special 2, Special 3
    - Phoenix's Special 2 (when you block it), Special 3
    - Quake's Special 1 (sometimes)
    - Red Hulk's Special 2
    - Red Skull's block, Specials
    - Sabretooth's Special 2
    - Warlock's Special 2 (sometimes)
    - Yondu's Special 2
