    Chucked out of game again. 3 out of 5 matches. Not looking great right now. 🙁

    When I filter my roster by that very first selection, the one that usually indicates I have covers or shards available, I have 32 characters in there who have no covers or shards waiting to be used. All of them are ascended 1, 2, and 3* characters.

    Also something about the way all the UI is being animated is making me kind of nauseous; I assume the motion curves are different so it could just be 3400 days of seeing it behave one way, and then it suddenly behaving another. I'll see how it goes over time.

    Tried another match, Frozen and chucked out for a restart. Maybe I will try restarting my tablet see if that helps.

    What a buggy and laggy iOS update. I give it 5 👎🏼.

    What does this mean? Should we not play the daily Crash then if available?

    You can still play it without worrying since the Crash resets everyday vs exploiting the bug and forcing a reset.

    Thanks S0kun! I have no idea how to force a reset so will do as is legal!

    I mean it just means restarting the app for whatever reason. Game freezes etc. On ios it restarts frequently when you leave it for a little while.

    This, I Play a 2nd game competitive, going in there causes MPQ to Close 1-2 Times a day, but I assume the mantra is „You shall have no other mobile games besides MPQ, Chrynos, you filthy heathen!“

    Edit: while writting this, MPQ has closed on its own an additional time, doesn’t Look good for me @S0kun

    Managed a PvP battle without being chucked out. Guess we see how it goes.

    Don't worry, they'll just roll you back for your trouble.

    I sure wish they rolled the whole "new engine launch" back!

    I haven't beniffited in any illegal way so don't think so but we shall see!

    And then there's this! I wasn't really paying attention until the three Hulks caught my eye, so I played another match and recorded it, scrolled back, and realized it wasn't just three Hulks, with two being replaced by Loki and Magneto, it was three Polaris on my team being quickly replaced with BRB and R5G.

    I'd bet donuts to dollars this is contributing to the lag problem.

    I do not know how, but I've updated to R325 (new app icon, release notes say "welcome to the new engine") but still everything is running in the app as R323 - I see new characters, I see new covers, I see the new vault and Event Quests keep updating . . . what limbo have I fallen into ?

    Tried to make a save data backup using AppleID, but when I signed in it 'updated' my account to the temporary one I made to restore my account 17 months ago when my previous phone died... :s

    I didn't realise that the temp account data was still in there and could overwrite in this way. I'm not chuffed, let me tell you. Hoping CS can help me restore my account data, they could before so I'm kinda hopeful there at least. Guess I have about a week off then....

    Too lazy to read through every page, my .02; on Android the game is waaaay to bouncy. It's like Poochy... To the extreme.... Hopefully they fix that and bring back the persistent back button on Android...

    Trying to play on my android tablet today before I got my phone updated and fixed was awful.
    It’s more useful as a coaster than to play this game right now.

    This whole update reminds me of that South Park episode where Mr. Mackey buys a new computer program to run the school, but every time he tries to do something it creates bigger and bigger bugs until he eventually just gets rid of it altogether.

    I’m on iOS. Is there any way to get rid of the bounce effect when you skip to a new PvP team? It’s very distracting.

    A curious game. The only winning move is ...

    Have you checked the steadicam permissions in settings?

    The game keeps closing. Can't get into pvp. Have to wait about 5 minutes to login in. This game is telling me to take a break.

    I play on two devices. Generally my phone during the day and my tablet in the evening (both android).

    The tablet is a super cheap one that was bought specifically to run MPQ and save a bit of phone battery. Even on the old engine the tablet would occasionally struggle when the AI fired a Polaris/MThor cascade but was generally fine. The positives I've discovered from having compared the new engine on both now are:

    • The tablet shows off how much higher the resolution is than the old build. Occasionally an animation seems to play as it's intended and it inspires a bit of hope about how good the game could look if it ran smoothly.

    • Having swapped back to my phone this morning the lag on the phone feels almost inconsequential in comparison to the experience on the tablet. Maybe it has actually gotten quicker with use but still feels like it's more likely I've had to lower my expectations a long way to even play on the tablet and it just seems better by comparison.

    Incidentally, I don't know how many Fan Favourites tokens I've had. I'd guess it could be as many as 8 at this point. Expecting that rollback will be for people who've had 100s, maybe 1000s, of tokens but it still puts me in a position where I'm paranoid about being rolled back while also being a little worried that other players will get away with 99 tokens and no comeuppance. Not a great feeling.
