TW and Geonosis literally unplayable

Hi all, I love the new content, specially GAC but geonosis is also super cool (super hard, but it's a long term challenge).

However geonosis is unplayable because the app simply crashes. It happens the same with TW since forever but it is worse with geonosis. Fortunately this issue does not happen in arena or GAC, only in those two game modes.

This came up in the last Q&A regarding TW and the devs answered with a 'deal with it'. The official statement is that it is natural that old devices cannot handle an ever growing game and it is unavoidable. However this issue happens to a huge number of people, many (or all) of them with an iphone 6 or 6S but also in oldish ipads. Certainly it is not state-of-the-art technology but also it is not that old at all and it works perfectly fine with everything else, including 90% of swgoh.

Honestly I think fixing this should be priority number one for the devs. It is super frustrating for a huge number of people and there must be subtle problem with iphone 6 but also with some ipads apart from lack of RAM or whatever. As far as I have seen this happens only with iOS, maybe I'm wrong.

    Since it only seems to be an issue with Apple users, I believe the appropriate phrase is "slap in the iface".


    See this is the Nik I like!
  • Yes, I am having the same issue. I reported this and followed all their instructions to no avail. The problems still persist and there is nothing to do on my part to fix it. I hope they will address these concerns and have some way of fixing them.
  • They aren’t going to fix it, as I imagine it only affects a small % of the player base. Once/if it starts affecting phones with 2 gigs of RAM, then they’ll have to do something.
  • IPhone 6 here too. I can’t do tw/gac/raid or Tb on my phone anymore. My iPad Pro gen 2 has no issues. It looks like the iPhone 6 needs retiring for me.

    Should also say that it does work if I reset my device after each battle so I do use that in a pinch. But it’s not a long term solution when we are talking about a game one plays for enjoyment, not for additionally stress.
