[Bug] Ultra-Lag 9000 vs. Mecha-Crashzilla | Forums

[stewedyeti]

This most recent update has rendered the game essentially unplayable for me. After updating through the Play Store over a prior install like one usually would, the game simply wouldn't make it past the RedLynx logo before crashing unless I put the phone in airplane mode to prevent being logged into uPlay. To give you devs the benefit of the doubt, I chalked that up to just a fluke issue from the update install, so I wiped the game from my phone, rebooted, then reinstalled the whole caboodle. At first, it appeared to be well again because the game doesn't automatically login until you've gone through the tutorial tracks, but the gods of the Frontier had different plans. Now, instead of crashing, an incredible lag has crawled its way out from the depths of Hell. I have no idea how to monitor the FPS of apps that I'm not debugging for myself, but an educated guess is that it's somewhere in the ballpark of 5-10 frames per second, which I'm sure you're aware is unacceptable and makes playing the game a chore.

Unsurprisingly, these problems much have something to do with uPlay as the symptoms only appear when it's active. Playing with airplane mode on lets the game run like it should and turning it back on while the game is running immediately results in the lagging. This lag occurs regardless of what you're doing, whether it be in the home village, looking at a map, racing, spinning the loot wheel, and everything else.

For the record, I'm using a rooted/Xposed Moto G on 4.4.3.
