    i've just found this thread for the first time... not sure if this can help the devs, but i have crashes per data going back about six months (forgive my European-style dates). playing on steam.

    i'm hoping cross referencing this with builds might help isolate the issue. it has been particularly bad the past week or so for me.

    It's becoming more frequent for me.

    Skills are always blank when this happens for me.

    Still very blotchy for me, but there's definitely a significant increase in crashes during LR's for me.

    All was quiet for a few days but once more again today , I thought it might be something to do with the heat of my phone but I know it can't be that otherwise it would happen all the time

    This happens on all three of my computers, 1 PC, 2 laptops.  I get this like 4 times a day between all 3 machines.

    I usually average a crash a day, but now have gone a full week without one! A new MPQ record!

    Hi Everyone. The developers are of course still aware of this issue occurring, although it's peculiar how often you all are encountering it. I personally use an Android and only rarely encounter the "Board Drop of Death."

    Are all of you playing on Steam?

    I'm on android and the BDD comes in waves it seems.  The week following the previous patch I had it happen several times and then it just ... stopped.

    Happened to me once over the weekend, on a Samsung. Once per week is about average.

    I can't remember the last time I experienced a crash on iOS that wasn't explained by a more specific known issue.

    From my discussions with other players, the consensus seems to be that Android and Steam versions of the game are both far more crash-prone than iOS.  Personally, I would expect the Steam and Android crashes to be completely separate causes, given the many differences between the platforms.

    After just crashing during a LR, I wonder if more or less than 20% of my defensive wins in PvP are caused by the other player suffering a BDoD :)

    I am on android and get the drop of death about 3 times a day. Recently it happened 3 times in 10 minutes so, I sent a ticket. This was a mistake. I was accused of cheating and was told that i must have a defective device.

    Really, really getting sick of this bug. Just happened many times in my push to finish nodes in the current event and after the first several crashes I switched to my phone, which crashed several times again. It cost me enough time that I missed finishing the last clear of the last node by about 30 seconds. This has been going on for so long it is baffling how the devs have been unable to answer it. Likely I'm going to miss top 10 as a result, extremely frustrating and demoralizing.

    I happened to me this morning when I was starting a match in Combined Arms to take me over 900.  By the time the game had reloaded, well, you all know the story...

    I feel your pain brothers :( 
    I too missed out on my final clear of the pve sub today from a crash coupled with a connection issue, followed later by a crash while I was trying to hop...

    My 9 day streak with no crashes has, sadly. come to an end, killing off my LR seed teams... Sigh.

    Mine just crashed in the last 3 mins of a Lightning Round as I was about to hit over 250 points against a seed team... So from top 100 at least (and a standard token) to top 500 (and NO tokens)... Awesome
