FIXED: Crashes on Battle Entry (Android)

IceIX

Hi all,

Wanted to let people know that we're aware of and working on fixing an issue some Android users are having where the game is crashing on entering battle. So far, we're not detecting a pattern of specific devices, OS versions, or other tech specs, but we're trying to narrow down the issue as fast as possible to deliver a fix to those affected. If you're running into this issue, please let us know:

Device Type/Model
OS Version
Anything else you feel is pertinent (able to get in using XYZ characters, but crashes with anyone else)

Thanks, we'll have an update for you as soon as we're able!

UPDATE 18MAY2021: An attempted fix will be released in 228 which is planned to go live 5/24
UPDATE 24MAY2021:
As an update, we *think* that R228 has fixes in that should solve these crash issues. Problem is

• It's rare (only about 1% of Android players total are experiencing it)
• It's not tied to device or Android version (Tends to be older devices but not always)
• The crash doesn't leave a debug trace, which means that it's probably something in Android OS that is closing the app "gracefully" as opposed to the game doing something to crash

We'll be giving out compensation for this of course, not sure yet if it'll be blanket or to affected users only. Stay tuned for that. I'll be leaving this up as a Known Issue for now until we figure out if the new version fully fixed it!

Android Sony Experia F3211 Android 7.0 having this issue completely preventing me playing. Usually crashes on load occasionally can get in a match then it crashes but unusual. Worked back removing cache, data then full app then reinstalled nothing helped if need any further info please let me know I mainly tested using Knull in introducing so as not to damage characters but have also done jug, rocket 4* and iron man 3* in lighting round can test characters if that helps

Android, DragonTouch 10 Android  8.1.0.

I have tried using 1* Iron Man/Black widow/Storm (deadpool's daily part one) and with 4*Gamora/4* Rocket & Groot/Kitty Pride in the main story section.

Sometimes gets as far as filling the board, sometimes crashes as soon as the board screen appears.

Seems to happen after a fixed amount of time upon entering a battle.  If I wait and don't make a swap, it crashes, and if I move quickly I can get a move in.  It seems to be about the same amount of time either way.

Tried again with a second tablet.

Exactly same issue
 This one's a Neocore E1+. Can't work out what OS it's using, sorry (it works but has a cracked screeen, so hard to find things)

Everything else than battle is fine. Battle start ... either after a second or the first swap ... 
Noticed with every hero-config so far. Also with Knull...

Game only seems to crash if I start a battle, no matter what combination of characters I choose. I can still check out my roster, alliance, shop, missions and quests, but the game crashes as soon as I start a battle.

Forgot to add I did try turn off the tile physics and character effects and show enemy AP on Enemy turn.  That did not fix the issue but I did noticed when I loaded the battle it would crash before the tiles dropped.  Having them all off the tiles would at least drop but still never got a chance make a move.

Everything else works: I can check my alliance, open vaults, covers, etc. It crashes ONLY when you start a battle.

Just from a quick look at the thread I would say that the problem is unique to older versions of Android.

Maybe something has changed in the new versions of Android that mitigate the problem on those platforms.

Still no fix guys? Will there be compensation? I am not going to lose the SHIELD supply streak because of this right??
