[UPDATED] Marvel Puzzle Quest R326 Release Notes (July 17, 2025)

BlackBoltRocks

Thanks for the revised cover exchange costs! These should have been the values from the start, but better late than never

It would be really good if the load times into and out of matches are fixed. 10-15 seconds at each end of a match adds up when you're trying to clear 9-10 nodes 5-7 times per day in PvE.

I tried to save time by doing clearance level 9 for this event but estimating 30 seconds per match for 63(?) matches a day is stretching PvE by around 30 minutes a day.

So this releases today? Let's hope it helps as 3 out of 4 battles today on my tablet have resulted in game freeze and whilst I can play on another device it is not ideal. Fingers crossed.

I'm confused as to when these updates are pushed out.... I'm still on R324 and there's no update available?

DAZ0273

I'm guessing they might want to be in the office for this one so it might not be until later today with the Devs on PST. I hope it is before the start of the Boss Event...

The updates are into the various stores and if sounds like all the stores excerpt Apple are basically ready for devs to make it available as of yesterday. Hopefully Apple does its thing quickly. This is per Ice on Discord last night.

Frankie is my guess

This is also my guess! The term "Carries a Torch" clearly points to a romantic interest and the fact she ends up being a Herald which effectively ends their romance makes it seem like this is a good shout!

How much RAM does the tablet have? IceIX partially answered my question about minimum specs in the chat and said anything under 4 Gigs of RAM was going to struggle and might not be playable. Older chipsets (CPU/Sound etc) also will struggle he said but doesn't have exact spec's yet.

Not that. But from what I read they also said that some of these fixes will help "less powerful" devices. It wasn't optimised play before, not at all, if I can get rid of the game freezing then I will be mostly content coz it plays OK apart from that. The other bugs being partly separately issues. I am not having any overheating issues.

Presumably you have everything turned off (animations, sound, etc) in the options menu. If not, you might want to consider doing that for the time being. It's not been made explicitly clear by any of the Devs but I'm getting the impression that downloading of assets is taking a LOT longer than players realize (ie when we get the cover swaps a few times a year that takes only a couple of minutes so I think we are all expecting the assets to be loaded in a few minutes of game time). My own experience seems to be that everything is gradually getting smoother and it's take many days for that to happen so it may take a LOT of time with the app open to get everything. Anyway the point of this ramble is that if you have those effects turned on it may be contributing to your issues (I have none of them on besides sound and I still here wrong sounds for some powers).

I struggle with playing the game with animations turned off but if that is what it takes I will do on my tablet at least.

Guess we are not updating today in the UK at least!

I have the newest pixel phone (9 ultra), and though it's choppy and weird... The game is doing ok. Not great, not as well as before... But I'm able to play without throwing my phone across the room.

Yes I've been keeping an eye on it and no update!

Android update is available. It wasn't showing up under updates available, but if you search for mpq then you can update.

Android's back button is back baby!

I installed the 326 update.

Still lags every time me or the computer matches tiles. It's as if the app has to ping the server to use the calculator on a dev's laptop to calculate how much damage each tile match makes. Every single tile match. This is on a Pixel 7 with 8gb ram.

I don't know if I'm going to make it through another week of this.

My god how I missed that button!

The initial couple of screens were slow after starting the game after the update. But since then it's been a marked improvement over the prior release. 30 FPS along with removing debug info has sped up A LOT of menus (the first time you visit things like your Roster or the PvE event it delays probably due to the update) like your roster, clicking in/out of a PvE node, battle hero select screen etc. The battle itself seemed much smoother to me too in terms of gem fall, banners mid match, enemy waves etc.

The only big delays remain anything that comes from the server (ie getting a post battle reward with that blue splash background for example). I was able to open a couple of tokens at a semi-reasonable pace (no where near what I used to but far better than the last build).

So get this update ASAP as it definitely helps if you are experiencing lag.

Most of the real bugs are still there since this was essentially a build to fix lag so don't expect anything in that regard.

My back button has returned and the reward in the puzzle gauntlet is no longer blank. Huzzah!
