Re: Game randomly freezes up during arena battles

No antivirus, but often have apps like Gmail, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook etc running in the background. It shouldn't really matter though, since they're usually running as background tasks in Android anyway doing synchronizing etc as usual.

Given the randomness these freeze-ups happens, there's really not more info I can provide, besides that they usually happens between 20-30 seconds into battle, and often during/after the more graphic "intensive" animations (AoE attacks, multiple GUI/status updates and so on like Trayas saber storm, etc).

    Yes, that's exactly what we tested as well. We used the same characters you showed in the screenshots and did a bunch of Squad and Fleet arena battles trying to use as many flashy AOE attacks as possible but didn't manage to reproduce ☹️

    If you happen to notice anything else please let me know and we'll re-test.

    Will post more info and situations when they occur. Will also keep an eye on running apps. Can add that I'm using the 8GB version of OnePlus 6t, running the latest official release of OxygenOS on top of Android as shown on the attachment.

    Well... I've turned of OnePlus game mode, just to see if that had something to do with it, but unfortunately no. 
    I just lost my GA  when the game froze even before the battle started against a Nightsister team and never got a chance to use my best counter...

  • This happens to me loads, a real pain when your fighting Revan matches that take almost the entire 5 minutes

  • Some days now with less gaming, but the freeze-up returned again in p2 Hstr just now. 

  • I have this same issue, I posted it in here and was asked to post to this thread. Here is my original thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Game-freezes-in-battle-OnePlus/td-p/7365264

    So briefly: 

    - Mainly freezes on PVP battles (Arena and GA) (maybe one or two freezes on HSTR and TB

    - Always freezeds during an attack animation (no particular character

    - Device: OnePlus 5

    - Wifi or cellular, doesn't matter

    - No other linked facts like certain background apps

  • A couple of more freeze-ups. One in GA and one in the fleet arena. I've also experienced at least one in the regular arena and one more in HSTR P2, but didn't take a screen shots.

  • This has happened to me too in both arenas. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it doesn't help.

    I have this same problem on the 6T. They tell me the same thing. I can only assume the game isn't stable on the OnePlus phones. I've contacted EA several times. They used to send crystals and now they just send the same response over and over again. I usually get locked during arena. However, it's occasionally locked fleet arena, raids, or even at the start screen. I've played the game on my computer using blue stacks and it's never crashed.

    Yeah, I've come to the same conclusion. Got freezes in Raid Legends too, so something is definitively wrong. If it's the phone, the chipset or OxygenOS is hard to say.
  • @chack71 Interesting, I'm on OP 3T and SWGOH is the only game that freezes - I play KotOR, Fallout Shelter and also for a while also MSF without any issues. Don't know if all of these games used Unity as well and if not it may be a place to start?

    @FingolfinTEK I haven't had that many crashes lately, and that's also the case with Raid Shadow Legends (the other game I play frequently). Both games have been updated several times after my latest message over, so I don't know if that have something to do with it, or I've just been plain lucky. That said... I know several other guildies that experience simliar problems from time to time, but that's on Samsung Note and not OP.
  • @chack71 Most of my crashes/freezes have been TW and GA so I've seen less of them now that GA is on break and with my guildies clearing the board in TW before I could attack but I did have some freezes in HAAT
