CAUTION: Grand Arena has a BIG freeze bug!

SnakesOnAPlane · April 30, 2019 2:35AM

All, use caution fighting against at least GG in GA 3v3. This happened just shortly ago (4/29). GG is stunned. B1 dies, GG comes out of stun and never takes a turn, effectively preventing me from continuing the fight. Every attempt to get GG to go failed. At least it wasn’t Zeta GA. Sigh!

And yes, now my secret to making FO viable again is out.

I’ve used them against GG every time in a 3v3 scenario (testing or in GA) and have never lost (have lost FOX or FOSF 1 out of 10 times, as a word of caution).

And from my GA opponent, the same thing happened last GA:

I lost two matches today In a similar way (if you haven’t got control buttons you can make a move) and two more traditional crashes. 4 good teams down the drain and with them any hope of a W.

On one of my crashes today I got the magic purple screen also, which I hadn’t seen for a while

GA would be ok if the coding behind it was more reliable. It has literally never worked correctly on 3v3 based on my experience and seems to get worse every update. TW used to have similar issues but those seem to have been resolved.

Sucks that your game bugged out, and good thing you have a video. I'd submit a bug report with the video so that they can reproduce and prevent this

EnderGamer87 · April 30, 2019 3:08AM

Ever since they introduced GA there has been waaaayyy more bugs than usual. I think GA is an overload on the game engine.

fletchmars · April 30, 2019 5:43AM

I’d be extremely upset. Sorry about that!

I am having lockups after updating to Android 9

3pourr2 · April 30, 2019 6:41AM

Looks like it thinks it’s still b1s turn

Ozyater · April 30, 2019 7:14AM

Same thing happened to me In arena except I was on offence and couldn’t have my go.

Happens to me too but with a different team ...

My Malak was attacked by FOO and FOTFP simultaniusly due to the assist from Phasma Lead. Both got feared, the buttons dissapeared and i wasnt able to complete the fight.

Maybe its something wrong with the assists mechanic.

bologman · April 30, 2019 7:59AM

Same here with my NS team and it happens to another guild mate of mine! I made a post about it on the bugs section but glad you made a post on here so it gets the recognition it needs. Hopefully some free crystals or something for those who crashed lol

AleSahnDroh_1979 · April 30, 2019 9:52AM

I think there is something wrong with “Fear”.
In past 2 weeks I had to force close the app losing some arena attempts...

SnakesOnAPlane · April 30, 2019 10:07AM

From my GA opponent below, and from others above, so it’s happening across the board.

Buff Malak, he can't beat a frozen game

Attackoftherevans · April 30, 2019 12:54PM

I just had the game freeze on me in b2b fo battles in ga, I let ea know about it, and all they kept saying was to do that ****, try restarting the app stuff rather than actually listening to what I was telling them lol guess this game will never get fixed with help like that

Psycosaltine · April 30, 2019 12:59PM

This used to happen in str with my jkr havnt seen it for awhile though

Korgan1999 · April 30, 2019 1:16PM

I have an iPhone 6+ which freezes frequently as indicated by OP. I don't know if the phenomenon has spread to other devices.

Waqui · April 30, 2019 1:20PM

Looks like the bug, which has been known for over a year in TB, TW, Raids, GA....

Waqui · April 30, 2019 4:01PM

Over 2 years is still also over a year ;-)

EventineElessedil · April 30, 2019 4:14PM

Obviously caused by Captain Han Solo.

There is nothing good about GA not sure why you think the coding would be good ?

Calbion · April 30, 2019 4:22PM

Had this issue while attacking a talzin lead NS team after I killed a NS. Talzin attacked called dead NS member then result as others have described. Took me another go to clear the team... iPhone 6s for reference.

Malak with phasma and fotfp?

Sure! Why not? Was using my remaining units to wipe out the last enemy team and Phasmas lead isn't FO exclusive.

SnakesOnAPlane · May 1, 2019 9:24AM

Yeah, I’ll report it. I’m just ultimately worried about the lack of concern correcting a bug that has been plaguing this game for so long, one that indiscriminately affects players without any real recourse by the devs. Literally, this one costs you wins and good rewards. I’m at least thankful it wasn’t a Zeta GA.

SnakesOnAPlane · May 8, 2019 6:09PM

Once again, I’ve been screwed at GA (2nd a row) thanks to this bug riddled game. Second GA in a row. And why, after all this time, does EA continue to let resources into this matter, that’s hurts a TON of players, be pathetically weak?

Many have submitted bug reports. Why would another make a difference when the others on the exact same issue haven’t?

Two in a row brother. Sorry about that. I was your opponent in your first post.
