We bought a new Fire HD10 9th gen that came yesterday. We've been using the 7th gen HD10 and it works great, but we wanted another so we could squad more effectively (my HD8 has been dumping me out mid-match lately...). Turns out that the 9th generation Fire OS doesn't have Gamecircle anymore, so while we have War Robots loaded, it can't sync to our current built-out hangars.  |

Huh, that's not good.
Might be good I still have the 7.
Shouldn't there be gamecircle though? Bug maybe? I dunno

This has been a recent discussion in our clan, especially as Christmas nears.
Are there any formal references to this? Is there a workaround?

I haven't figured out one. I tried sideloading Gamecircle but it wouldn't stick. Right now, my workaround is ordering a mint-condition last-gen Fire 10HD from Swappa.
I saw references that Amazon was "retiring" it in 2018 (no reason given), which is interesting because that slips between the 2017 "7th generation" Fire OS and the current version. The current OS is also based on Android 9, so that's a substantial change overall. I'm hoping someone from Amazon's developer channel gets back to me.
Side note: I'm pretty sure I've been duking it out with you lately, Clutzilla2. LOL

Does this explain why MM is extra sucky on my Fire? Less players?
My level 6, Diamond League bots are often matched against MK II Champs where they are instantly vaporized.

Yeah, I suppose it does. Although the plus side is that you also get matched WITH them and you get good at War Robots a lot faster.

After what I like to call the 'Android Purge' where everyone on an android device updated it, then uninstalled their game to update i or something along the lines of that lost their progress because gamecircle was not supported by that version of android.

Confirmed that the last gen Fire OS (the "2017" version) works fine with GameCircle. Shop your favorite used-device sources for mint-condition "old" Fire 10HDs.

Upgrade your device and downgrade your war robots account is how this works for the newest kindle fire. And it still isn't fixed. I check once every couple weeks and Pix just says it's not their fault.
It sucks they don't create a fix for this.
I've been playing a new account and it's more fun than I thought it might be, but I can't waste money on this game knowing they won't support me on the next device upgrade.

One thing I discovered playing a smurf account on the 2019 Fire 10HD...it seems to run way worse than the older devices. The older ones may have a touch of display lag (as opposed to server lag) in intense situations, but the 2019 model goes slideshow a LOT, especially for some odd reason when I'm playing the Vityaz I've got.

That's strange, if that's the case then people who got the new one actually downgraded. |

Sounds like you need to return that device. My fire 10 is waaaay better and faster playing the game. |
