Hello darkness, my old friend. Yet another update, yet more pesky bugs to crush. Now you too can be part of our glamorous jobs of squashing these bugs through the power of C O D I N G...or maybe let us help you by sending us the problems that seem to occur after update 4.0, lags, crashes and any other weird odd behaviour.
Here, the format:
Platform-
OS version-
Problems- (Helpful if you just scream them out loud in single words like LAG! CRASH!" Map-
Mode-
Additional Notes- (Any piece of info that you think might be helpful to us.)
VideoClips- GREAT if you have it, it's okay if you don't.
Just putting this out for reference, this thread is to report problems about the game running after 4.0, not the other...problems like economy or matchmaking.

The bolded words are deffo more important to many, including me, but I do have to admit the lag and reconnects have killed many good games I have had, lately.
I am rarely in a position to note all of the details when I do get the chance to play, but will try and keep an eye out for map and mode and all of that.
Regardless of the anti-Pix sentiment that the bolded words have added to, the fact that there is someone out there who is trying to keep playability on par with what it should be is at least one positive in the sea of muck they keep stirring up.
I hope the thread stays focused on the bugs you are requesting info on.
So far... I can't say every detail but here is what I can say...
I have experienced reconnects and lag on my Android account far more than my iOS account while on the same WiFi (not at the exact same time since I only play 1 at a time, but in general I can't get through 2 games without getting a bad spurt of "Reconnecting" 3 or 4 times in a row or bots appearing 100m away in a blink, while I was firing at them and hitting them just a second before at a different place... which means death for me in most cases). All the while my network is fine, I have a router monitor app that I can check for quick diags and it never shows any slowdown during these episodes.
I have pretty fast cable connection and mostly use the 5 GHz band of my router for games... no other lag issues AT ALL in my normal usage.
Android device = Shield K1 iOS device = iPhone 7
It does seem to happen a good deal on Rome... but I haven't paid too much attention to the map it occurs on, I will do so from now on.
IMO, YMMV

ⓣⓡⓘⓒⓚⓨ48I def would have wanted to help about the bolded words, but right now I have been asked to gather info about the ones I asked about. I needed to put that clearly because otherwise the thread might turn into regular pixo bashing, losing the information requested in the process.

Geographically located in Denmark, Northern Europe, on a 30mbit connection. I do not experience lag in matches when running solo so I suspect I am getting matched to a server in a neighbouring country. The only bug I experience is a crash to desktop the splitsecond my game search find a match. Happens every 50th game or so. Running on a Samsung s3 tab

Well most of it's a carry over from 3.9
Android
3.8: network lag, lots of it.. before I could play on my cell connection with minimal lag.. around 3.8 lag got real bad and it's never gotten back to normal.. get reconnecting boxes regularly especially in team play.. FFA ain't as bad.
3.9: Crashing.. never had crashing before 3.9
4.0: Black Icons, After 2-3 games the UI in hanger a lot of it is blacked out.. matches still play ok, but a few more games always leads to a crash
4.0: flickering robots.. sometimes randomly my robot will flicker like a light bulb going ona and off
4.0: massive FPS dropping, Infact frame drop probalby ain't the word for it.. more like brief freezes, worse in team play.
That about covers it.

I unfortunately have also been experiencing the following as well:
I have experienced reconnects and lag on my Android account far more than my iOS account while on the same WiFi (not at the exact same time since I only play 1 at a time, but in general I can't get through 2 games without getting a bad spurt of "Reconnecting" 3 or 4 times in a row or bots appearing 100m away in a blink, while I was firing at them and hitting them just a second before at a different place... which means death for me in most cases). All the while my network is fine, I have a router monitor app that I can check for quick diags and it never shows any issues.....
I have reached out to game support but keep getting canned responses. I've been playing this game with my son now for over a year and we play in a squad together most times. He is quickly losing interest as unthinking me out.
Can someone help us??
Please?

Lag lag lag. Getting worse every "update" with the introduction of new weapons. Seems linked to the kill / death sequence animation.
Nearly so bad that the game is unplayable.
Had to laugh that the devs are introducing a weapon that has the same effect as game lag. How will we tell its working?

I'm on Android and experienced some lag prior to 4.0
Post 4.0 the game is virtually unplayable 60% of time,bot and controlls freezing for up to 20-30 seconds and some teleporting at times. At times my control will freeze and bot will walk uncontrollably till it hits an obstacle.
These maladies started immediately after installing 4.0
Playing on a Dragon Touch v10
I've been in touch w/my provider and through diagnostics on my end they say I'm good,for what it's worth

Its super laggy, matches take 2 mins or more to connected, bots teleport and move suddenly. I hate these boosters.

Platform: iOS
OS version: 11.4.1
Problems: LAG. Unbearable lag. Left my first game today in over a year, could not even move. Bot seizes up, joystick responds 3-5 seconds after I move it, gaps in movement so I and other pilots jump a few feet away, sound cuts out. Often happens when playing vs a squad that I believe is using boosts (larger damage chunks than normal, shorter stealth wait times, etc). Some times this happens after 3-5 games, sometimes it’s my first game. Device heats up considerably after a few games. Cooling it seems to improve gameplay (set on a cold pack).
Also, target lock only works half the time. I press it 5-10 times and button does not register. Then look around or move and it works again. Very frustrating.
Map: not exclusive to any map, but Rome is the worst.
Mode: I mostly play random so cannot advise if this happens in FFA
Additional Notes: Seems like lag happens when playing bs squads using boosts (I do not use them so not on my end). Game is almost unplayable at times.
Edit: I play on a gigabit WiFi and cellular. My connection makes no difference as I will swap between the two to get a better conn and no improvement. iPhone 6 with 10+ GB of HD space. Game does rip through battery, but I have played on battery and plugged in with no difference.

Lag, freeze ups, complete crashes. Too much way too often.
Enemy scourge able to shoot through friendly and enemy units alike to keep hitting you. I've personally observed this happening dozens of times to not only myself but others and it's pretty damned annoying. Can't even use a friendly Lancelot as a shield from the damn things.
