in MPQ Bugs and Technical Issues

Hey everyone!

We have received a couple of reports from players that they are seeing graphical issues in game. The two main reports are missing or incorrect tiles or black boxes replacing text (I'll post some examples below).

The development team is having issues reproducing these issues which is making it hard to track down what the issue is. That's where you could come in! If you are or have experienced these issues, sharing the following information in this thread (or PM me the information if you prefer), would help us immensely.

Thank you all so much and I hope you all are well and staying safe!

    Hi,

    Here goes:

    In-Game Name: TigerSpirit
    Platform: Android or iOS? Android
    Device model: Samsung S9+
    Operating system version: OneUI v2.0, Android v10, Kernel v4.9.118-17633310

    What Graphical issues are you experiencing?:
    Tiles misformed, tiles with wrong colors/symbols, powers with wrong colors, passive powers not working, powers disabled, ap bars not being filled (even if the ap counter is at 11), ...

    About when did you first see this issue:
    February 2020

    How often do you see it:
    At least several times a day, always something else

    I can mail pictures, but you've got most of them already through support.

    This is annoying as hell since PVE is speed related and bugs like these prevent a player to play fast, specially when powers aren't working. I've practically given up on this game due to all the issues.

    Greetings,
    TigerSpirit

    @TIGERSoft - thanks for supplying this information. Can I ask if you're playing in particular events when you see this? PVP? or is it all over the map?

    Can I ask if you're using particular characters when you see this occur?

    Thanks for any additional info you can provide.

    It happens every event, pve and pvp. I mostly play with okoye, thor, px, chavez, groot, kitty, thanos, brb, and whatever boosted chars. So yeah, all over the map. I had px powers disabled, thors, okoyes passive, ... you name it.
    Just an hour ago, I had double yellow powers (red was replaced by yellow). And this was on the loaner node in pve.

    Same issue here from time to time. Seems a bit less frequent than it was a month or so ago. Same as above screenshots but not had the redacted text ones. Also issues with the AP bars being wrong colours.

    Operating system exactly the same details as Tiger Soft above.

    If it happens it stays for a few matches. Restarting phone seems to fix it.

    Good luck!

    Hey, that first screenshot is me!

    I have a metric ton of examples, I went through a load of the easiest PVE level and took screenshots of what I saw that was odd here: https://imgur.com/a/qUapDa7

    All of my glitches were purely graphical and all in the actual fights, I haven't experienced any problems with text although it might just be that I'm not looking. They occur in both PVE and PVP, and while the majority of the images are of Juggs, R&G and Gamora that's simply cause I was trying to speed through the fights.

    I first saw these issues yesterday having updated my phone to the latest Android software update about 24 hours prior. I'd take a guess of it happening about once every 4 games, however that includes the very basic stuff like tiles looking slightly darker than usual.

    What Graphical issues are you experiencing?: Multiple in screenshot above
    About when did you first see this issue: Yesterday
    How often do you see it: ~20% of the time

    Platform: Android
    Device model: Google Nexus 9 (tablet)
    Operating system version: Android 7.1.1

    What Graphical issues are you experiencing?: wrong texture used to draw some tiles. It seems to be the tile texture rather than the character overlay on the tile that is wrong.
    About when did you first see this issue: not sure. I screenshotted one occurence on 11 March, but that wasn't the first.
    How often do you see it: maybe once a week. I haven't seen any pattern about what causes it.

    Thanks for the information, all. This is going straight to the dev team.

    I'm curious - any iOS users seeing this?

    @ajgmcc Thanks in particular for that gallery and calling out what you were doing in the various steps.

    Any more information from the community would be great - especially on the black text errors, as that may be a separate issue. The OneUI OS seems worth looking into.

    On my iPhone 7, using ios 13.3.1, I occasionally see blacked-out text, but only on the loading screen and it has always disappeared once the loading progress % starts up.  No other significant graphical glitches that I have seen.

    Bagman, I reported OneUI 2.0 since day 1 (somewhere in February). It started to happen the day I upgraded the phone. I even warned people on different Line rooms not to update their phone until D3 fixed this.

    3+ months later... we're in this thread talking about that same issue and you 'suddenly' think that OneUI 2.0 could be worth looking in to.

    FYI, I even offered my professional developer services to D3 to help you out and debug it on my phone directly. I still have that mail (and D3 response) if you're interested...

    Thanks Tigersoft. There's a lot of signal to filter through in order to identify the most serious issues. I'm sorry we didn't flag this sooner as a priority. 

    I appreciate the offer of help. We're looking into this now, but it's nice to have options.

    I had some tomfoolery going on in Movie Marathon this evening. Third node, with the United Against Ultron fight.

    First this: 

    https://i.imgur.com/8eMezgM.jpg

    I tried matching the three team-up tiles there at the top to no avail, eventually determined that the bottom one was actually "Green." You can see the team-up tile highlighted, and the pop-up box calling it Green. So then I tried to match the two greens with the "team-up/green", and that didn't work either. So then I saw this:

    https://i.imgur.com/WqkkpMe.jpg

    So apparently the green is actually a "black." This continues down the column. The first Team-Up is okay, as are the Team-Up and Green Bomb at the bottom of the column. So in the middle, what you SEE is     . In reality, those show up as      in the tool-tip text when selected. So they're offset one, somehow. Last image is the suggested match:

    https://i.imgur.com/NJgUIJX.jpg

    Clearly the game knows that green is supposed to be black, so it's just a visual error.

    I have the same issue as JHawkinc - tiles appearing as the wrong colour. It only happens occasionally, first occurred around 2 weeks ago and most recently happened just now in DDQ.
