So I know "Immersive mode" just means hiding the back/home/app switch buttons at the bottom, but what is "Sensor Portrait mode"?  A quick Google didn't enlighten me.

I bet that means you can hold the phone upside down and the UI flips

I've totally been able to do this for practically forever on my Kindle Fire. Both for the charging port issues (easier to play with the charging cable on top) and button issues (too easy to bump the power button and turn off the screen when it's "upside down")

It never occurred to me that other people couldn't do that, so I'm glad it'll be alleviating frustration for others.

This new mode seems to be independent of the operating system's screen rotation settings. If you're using a tablet and have auto-rotate enabled, then things did behave the way you describe.  If you turned off auto-rotate, previously nothing would happen and now the display rotates.

I suspect that they made this change for phone users, where the auto-rotate setting generally has the 180° orientation disabled, since phones are not symmetrical (they have a speaker at one end, and microphone at the other) and you want to avoid people holding them upside down when taking a call.

It seems a bit dubious to try and re-enable the 180° rotation mode in software on devices like this.  Imagine playing a match and receiving a call or text part way through and have that app appear upside down.

Oh my oh my... I don't know how many time I've said 's***' while opening this new release for the first time.

This blur effect is sooooo annoying. I hope I will no longer see it once all assets will be downloaded.

And what happened to tile movement? They appears to be smoother yes, but they are also slower. I'm not sure the expected goal to fasten Mindless one will be achieved...

So first impression on this release, really bad.

Immersive Mode removing the buttons at the bottom of the device that I've been using for 5 years is extremely disgruntling. It doesn't seem like there's any way to turn it off, and moving my hand up to the top of the screen to hit the app's back button instead is annoying. This particular aspect of the update is a downgrade in my opinion.

On the plus side, the app IS much snappier overall. 

Agreed. Some good, some bad.

That Immersive Mode is forced upon us with no option to turn it off is VERY bad.

I now not only have to overcome 5 years of muscle memory of hitting my phone's back button in the bottom right corner, but the game's back button is in the top left corner, this is completely counter-intuitive.

I like a lot of the changes in this update.

Immersive Mode NEEDS to be something we can turn off if we choose to.

seconded (fourthed?). please make this optional, it's driving me crazy.

Gain some Peace of Mind when you add this character to your roster!

Who has the mind stone? is that Vision? 

In the MCU vision had the soul stone and the mind stone was in Loki’s scepter. So maybe a 4* Loki? 

Vision has the Mind Stone in the MCU. It was also the stone in Loki's scepter. We didn't see the Soul Stone until Infinity War.

Freeze or crash?  If it is crashing, the best advice at the moment is to avoid using or playing against Mockingbird or Mr. Fantastic.  The "fire a random power" component of each characters' power set seems unstable.

Just had a crash without fire random power component. Making a yellow match 4 vs JJ / America / Hulk crashed it.(my team Nova/Mockinbird/Hulk).

Could that one maybe because the enemy America would normally put a trap down on a match 4 causing the problem if you haven't used America yourself yet to get the move download for that power?

AI Chavez doesn't place a trap tile when *your* team makes a match 4.

The trap tiles are placed when *you* have Chavez on *your* team and make a match 4. And if you get at least one trap tile on three different colors, she blows them up for extra damage.

My mistake, I stand corrected. Must be tied into the Mockingbird bug in some way then.

Apparently there is a fix done on the Mockingbird/Mr. F etc bug by the way but no release date on it yet, dev's said so over at Discord.

No worries! It's still weird that Mockingbird would trigger a crash in this scenario though. With no enemy Mockingbird, there should have been no issue making a match 4 for his team.

I wonder if there's some sort of if/then statement inherent to the coding of her character that is making *any* match 4 (or more), whether made by the player or AI, unstable and results in the crash? Same thing for Mr. Fantastic.

jamesh

Note that Mockingbird's passive does not resolve immediately: it waits until the start of the player's turn. So if the enemy team made a match-5 or a match-4 as part of a large cascade, there could be quite some time between the trigger and the crash. Adding America to the mix confuses things further since she can add more actions to the "start of turn" phase.

Until there is more information to prove otherwise, I think you should assume that Mockingbird/Mr F. is the cause of the crash if they are part of the match.

Completely agree.  It wouldn't be quite so bad if there was something other than dead space there.  It would still be annoying having to retrain myself after 5 years, but the fact that there's nothing where the buttons used to be is really annoying.  Please let us turn off immersive mode.

Add me to the list. Esp when the buttons still work (if you drag them up) so it's not like they aren't functional anymore AND there is nothing on that part of the screen. Plus the home button was handy to return to the phone desktop to switch between apps etc.

I'd pay half my current CP hoard which is 1800+ to get this fixed.

THIS THIS THIS.
It's now supremely annoying to exit out of the game when I'm done playing for a given session.

What the heck did you do???

Ever since the update, I can't play the current PvP anymore. Four matches, four app crashes taking a loss and point hit each time. I tried re-starting the app, I tried rebooting my iPad, same result every time.

The same keeps happening to me, on iPhone SE -- random crashing during PVP (both Shield Sim and the Hulk PVP). Sometimes near start of match, sometimes midway through, with no notable pattern. (I didn't experience crashes in PVE though while doing final sub's clears in "meet Rocket & Groot")

shardwick

Well, the game has now crashed on me at least 20 times making it virtually completely unplayable at this point. 

Actually, I was just responding to customer support on my ticket and it crashed again. Like seriously? The only consistent thing I'm seeing right now is that after I reload the game after the crash I get the message that someone beat me in pvp so maybe I have a rare bug that gets triggered by that popup message for pvp.

Hi,
After the last update R184 Release Notes * Updated (8/8/19), I have access problems.
Today the game has been updated. The account is more than two years old and this update is downed it.
I have an android. After starting the game, a black screen appears, the app minimizes and is inactive.

What should I do? How to return to the game and not lose progress?
Or can you help me with nothing?

I'm so scared that when I load up the new 64 bit Steam version I'll be greeted with the mobile versions UI...

There are still elements of the mobile version UI here, especially on character select screens. I miss the days of one screen to do character improvements for Steam players, but that ship has long sailed away.
