Please remove Exit Button
Please remove this Exit button from this screen. It’s far to easy to hit by mistake. Another option would be to be to make a confirm page as a second step so a mistake is less likely to happen. ...
I have also had this popup appear appear twice during the first few weeks of Battlez. On both occasions it came after a win, and resulted in me losing out on streaks of 60+ and 100+. (I'd kept spamming the [RETRY] button for ages, but to no avail).
On each occasion my internet checked out fine, with full connectivity on other apps on my tablet - PLUS full wireless connectivity on another device while that message was still displaying in P vs Z 2, yet I ended up having to hit the [EXIT] button.
My best guess is that it's something purposely implemented at the server end, and is a devious and more extreme ploy used as a last resort by EA for if their numerous streak busting killer bots (Which they claim don't exist - YEAH, RIGHT!) don't take you down.
At least with losing out to the (Non-existent) bots you can choose to retain your streak with gems, but this way they leave you with no alternative but to surrender your streak!!
Note the way it says "YOUR internet connection has been lost", yet I know for a fact that it WAS NOT at my end on either occasion. [Insert suitable swear word to express your opinion of EA's underhand tactics]

If I'm unfortunate enough to get hit by this again, I'll try out your method for working round it. Thanks for the pointer.

Of course there COULD be an alternative way. One where if we hit the [EXIT] button we lose out on the win, but automatically retain the rest of our streak without using any gems. This would HAVE to be dependant on the result of the current match being a win for the player concerned, otherwise someone who lost a match could abuse it.

There is a much better solution that they should do to fix that problem. Your streak is loaded from the server when ever the game is reloaded or a battlez is lost or never finishes. They could simply check then for the loss and offer the gems in order to continue your streak or let you start from the beginning again. They could show this in the same button that shows the gauntlet x1. It could be like this:
after a loss
[🧤x1 💎x250 Play] [Reset]
after a win
[🧤x1 Play]
They should move the [How To Play] button somewhere else on the screen.
This way if your game crashes or you try and cheat by closing it then you will still have to pay the gems no matter what. But at least you don’t just automatically lose your streak.
