Game won't stay open in background, reloads every time I go back to home screen. Never used to do this, but in the last few weeks it will no longer stay running. It used to run all day and never need to reload the game.I'm playing on Galaxy fold 3, its got plenty of RAM to keep it going, and no other apps need to reload after being minimized so its an issue specific to SWGOH. It's got no memory or battery limits put on it by the phone.Anyone else having this happen?

I noticed quite an increase in the frequency of times the game would unload itself while in background after the unity update. I tracked memory usage and their were obvious leaks for quite a while after that update but they have slowly improved and I won’t say it is back to normal yet, but it does seem to be improving for me. I play mostly on an iPad Pro so I guess this could still be a significant issue on some releases of android though.

That call from Grandma can wait.

Seems to stay open now, thanks! Of course the simple solution is the fix.I wanted to avoid this because it has to redownload every page the first time it opens after an update and stuff

New update, it's closing just like before now. Reinstalling only fixed it for an hour

Damn. I thought I found the answer here. Same thing happening to me on Galaxy Note 20 ultra. Plenty of ram on my device as well. No issues with other apps. Just SWGOH. Uninstall/reinstall was a very temporary fix for me too

Try closing other apps you don't need to be open all at the same time, also make sure to have enough drive space as most mobile devices use it as a temporary memory. Having many apps open and low drive space cause large hardware driven apps to reload as their behind the scenes data can't be kept active all the time.

The game has had memory leaks for years. Even minimizing it does not seem to help.

It has been happening for a couple of months or so for me if I switch and don't return to the game for more than a few minutes. I also use Android.
One other difference is that when I return to the game even it is open it always reloads the "Hi there anyname LVL x" message ftom play games. That is also a "new feature"
