It's been impossible to play on Mobile Data for 4 weeks (but it works on wifi)

Product: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes
Platform:Android 13
What type of device are you experiencing the issue with? Fairphone 4 5G
OS Version 13
Ally Code: (Find it here: http://bit.ly/AllyCode ) 257-254-596
What type of issue do you have? Network/Connection
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Summarize your bug When I want to connect to the Starwars heroes of the galaxy game, I can't connect and the game tells me I have a connection problem if I am using mobile data from my ISP (Orange, biggest ISP in France). If I connect on wifi it works, but it's a big problem not being to play on the go, in public transportation going to work for instance.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to access SWGOH on a cellphone using mobile data only with some ISP at least in France.
Connection Type Mobile
Please select your region Europe
Country France


Guys,

We have zero information on this bug, but a lot of people have been unable to access the game on mobile data for over 4 weeks now.

It has been reported multiple times, by myself and other players, but you guys merged our bug with the overheating bug thinking it was one and the same when it's not. We don't even know if the team understand there is a bug here. It was working fine until the death trooper peridea update on our mobile data.

Somehow the code changed with the death trooper peridea update making it impossible for some player to access the game while using mobile data.

Here are the different messages reporting this issue, including mine so I'm started a separate thread so that it is no longer merged with the performance issue bug :

Please tell us that it's known and under investigation.

Thanks 🙂

    Did someone of you had a chat with Orange about this issue?

  • During a recent trip I confirmed that the bug only applies to certain ISP. I went from France (ISP: orange) to Germany (ISP: Vodafone) and Switzerland.

    While I can't play with mobile data in France, I was able to play normaly in Germany and Switzerland.

    I hope it helps you figuring out the problem.

    Ok I got you.

    I turned my phone settings to English, only way I found to get swgoh in English.

    Here is a screen recording of me trying to play on mobile data only (spoiler alert it's not working) :

    And here I first turn on wifi, and it works. And halfway through the screen recording I am turning off wifi and the game gets disconnected until I turn wifi back on :

    For the record I have enough data with a 40Gb monthly capacity I barely use 10 per month. Swgoh has been working fine on my phone on mobile data for a little over a year until the death trooper peridea update (it started immediately after). And I live the game, between LSB, conquest bonus track, etc. I've spent 500€ on it by now.

    I hope you guys find a fix soon, as I'm clearly not alone.

    Thanks a lot,

  • @Virae_Arnaud Checking with the team. Unfortunately, this is a difficult issue to reproduce. Can you record it and share a video with us?

    Another question. Can you change the language of your device to English and check of you can access the game with mobile data?
