I find it really frustrating to spend days remodding my characters, at great in-game expense, only to have GAC crash on me during the first or second battle of the round, thereby losing me the round.

Each season of GAC this happens at least once, during the first 20 seconds of the first or second battle of the round, the game freezes and I lose the battle because of it.

This happened with my previous OnePlus phone and the new one I bought to replace it.

Now, as a precaution, I always restart the game before starting GAC, but it does not help. I still experience this issue at least once every GAC season, and always within the first 20 seconds of the first or second battle of the round.

I don't think you guys appreciate just how much time and effort goes into preparing for this event. It is heartbreaking when these crashes occur because all that work is basically flushed down the toilet. And the feeling is that we are being totally ignored on this issue, which costs us so much in time, effort, and lost rewards. The crashes are infrequent enough to inspire hope, and frequent enough to just cause stress every time the battle starts.

Rounds like the current one where I am up against someone who routinely plays offensively and will clear my board mean that I need every point I can get to beat them. I've been robbed of that (again) and now I feel sick. Please pick up this game. I know you are working on this, but I've been having this routinely since before Conquest began, and we NEVER get any kind of recompense for all the wasted time and effort involved in dealing with this nonsense.

  • Hello there @Dylan72a 

    Sorry to hear that. The team are aware of increased rate of crashing. They are working to reduce these over the next several title updates. More information can be seen in the below link:

    Unfortunately, results of GAC battles are final and cannot be changed.

    If you happen to be changing accounts on your device, clearing your game cache between logins may help.

    And as expected, 3 seconds into the 2nd battle of the round, the game froze. Right on schedule. Exactly as I predicted. Please investigate this REPRODUCIBLE bug. And I've as usualy spent hours and $$$ remodding for this and that is all wasted time and effort.

    I'm not expecting any kind of response. I really don't think you guys actually read these any more.

    And once again, 8 seconds into the first battle of the first round of GAC, my phone freezes. Predictable as clockwork.

    This time I had been trying to minimize other things on the phone, so I had switched off bluetooth and wifi. No luck Stuck once again, and another * experience that is 100% predictable and reproducable, but will be ignored by CG. I can see why so many people don't bother with GAC any more.

    I know what you mean. I just started my gac and the first battle the game resets. That’s a loss. Trash game

    I wanted to post here, that in the past 3 seasons of GAC I have been entirely crash free. The game has been way more stable on OnePlus phone for me. As far as I am concerned, the issue as described in this report is now fixed. Thanks for your work!
