Since the Lollipop update for Galaxy S4, performance is even worse than before.
Constant stuttering (not overheating related) and then even more stuttering and the classic slow down / speed up bug (slow down even in the menus) once the 5 minute-ish timer of playing is up and my phone apparently overheats.
Pretty unplayable.

Does seriously no one else have this problem?

I'm not on Lolipop but I do have an SGS4. Only stutters I'm seeing are on start of the game in the village, and map is stuttering all around after the last update. The gameplay is as it was...
You sure your phone is not throttling? The latest update seems to heat up my phone more then the previous version.

I have SGS4mini, The game lags (freezes) on average about first 10minutes of playing. Freezes happens somewhat on every 5-10seconds apart and it happens every where, bunker, village, worldmap, on tracks... It's impossible to set good times or compete at showdowns... the only thing i can play is collect magnifying classes and kindlings.
after the 10minutes it somehow occur less... but still lags.
EDIT: installed the latest update for frontier, the lag issue was fixed.

initial lag of about 10-15 seconds when you enter the game persists... seems many server calls are causing this, maybe the game is syncing or the broken gift box is doing this, IDK...

If I get 1+1 in a few days, maybe I'll check on this too... SGS4 is a great phone, but I need something bigger without spending much moneys on it and I'm tired of Samsung policy on how to build and manage the phone.

You've perfectly described my problem. The stuttering/freezing does appear to go away after a few minutes but by that point the phone's heated up & it does the laggy/speedup thing instead so it's no win. I can only do the same missions you say plus the slot machine, for everything else the performance is too bad to be competitive.Originally Posted by flooodi Go to original post
No update has ever fixed the lag/speed up for me

Then maybe your phone is throttling through DVFS... if you don't have the root - there's not much you can do about it, but then again xposed is not stable on Lolipop afaik.

Got 1+1 (OPO)... The game is fricking fluid and running swell... until gift box gone awol again, but I get intermittent stutters only on the map. The gameplay is fine.
My SGS4 is mimicking the brick atm....

Did get the same problem on Note4 when I updated to lollipop.
Cant play the game anymore, it is so laggy and then full speed totaly random.

I'm playing Frontier on an un-rooted Galaxy S4 running Lollipop 5.0.1, it gets a bit warm sometimes but only after playing for quite a while and I only get the speed-up/down bug once in a blue moon, other than that it runs fine on mine but I haven't taken the latest game update (3.2.3) so if you're running this version of the game as well then maybe it's got something to do with a combination of the new version update running on Lollipop.....In which case, hopefully they'll release a new "Fix" update soon to address this and all the other various bugs/glitches that the 3.2.3 update has !?
I recommend disabling all the apps (Bloatware) that you don't use, clearing the cache and data of each one before disabling them (in the application manager as we can't uninstall system apps unless you're rooted) as this will help take some load off the processors and give you a little more room on your phone as well, Also, make sure that all other apps, processes, GPS, Syncing etc. (basically everything that doesn't need to be on or running) are closed, stopped and turned off before you start playing Frontier, also try clearing the RAM before playing as well.....This is how I've stripped down the load on my S4 and mine runs buttery smooth, so hopefully this will help to reduce the problems you're having for now ok !?
