Before you move this to the technical board, it's been deliberately put here for greater discussion and exposure.
The game is now so unstable on iOS it's ruining the whole game experience.
Used to just be in the ship arena but now it just crashes throughout.

Then my app hangs for 15 seconds every other turn. As it is before I finish the fight I am at 2min or less most times. ANd that with only 1 reinforcement... **** will happen when you have 5 star chars with more hps, and reinforcements. Most likely I will never finish a fight.
Before I start a ship battle I to close and reopen the app. If I don't the game lag on the animation is to much. Or my app completely crashes. I know this is a memory protection issue. The game is trying to use to much memory. NOT everyone is using the latest device to play the game, or has access to T1 bandwidth while mobile.
I know someone worked hard on the animations. But can we please have a low graphics option. For the AAT raid as well please.
I play on an iPad2. I've restored my iPad numerous times. I have plenty of space available over 10Gbs. My internet connection is very good and I always keep my device updated with the newest updates.
I'm sure a newer iPad would solve the problem but I shouldn't have to buy a new iPad to play a game I have been playing for a year now when I didn't experience any crashing or lag before.
I'm fairly certain the animations of the ATT raid and ship arena are too strong and is what's causing the problem. I've played many games before on PC and if I wanted a better, more stable game playing experience all I had to do was reduce the graphics settings and that would ALWAYS fix the lag and/or crashing problem. Sadly with playing on devices such as iPads this isn't an option.
I like many others like playing games that look and feel more realistic..but if animations and future updates cause lag and crashing problems for people like me then I see no point in continuing to play and support a game that is quickly becoming more of annoyance than it is fun.
If they reduced the animations I truly believe this would help but honestly I don't see them doing that.
Fixing a problem that only a handful of people are experiencing doesn't seem like that would be on the devs high priority list.
I often get 'Google Play error - contact the developer' messages just before the crash as well (or before a period of major lag and slowing down of the app before a crash).
I didn't know it was set for eight... I thought it was said for 7:30. I guess my long loading causes that.
I really cannot understand what is going on. They broke most common special ability - assistance and 5 days later it is still not fixed?!? New content, ships, causes whole application to crash and 5 days later it is not fixed ?!?
Now I actually cannot play at all - my arena team is very strange and rare - Wiggs, STHan and QGJ - both rely on assistance. My shard is also very strange - full of RG - so my STHan taunts - RG stun it and I don't have assistance... I cannot play ships because of some Google Play error...
But otherwise there is no problem - they know about it - have a bug..
Unbelievable...
Just a suggestion - CG never try to develop financial software..
Just finished a ship battle, every time there was a reinforcement it took 30 seconds...
Game ended in a draw. If not for the freezing would have won.
Switching to android might be an option. BUT, I can't I am linked through my game-center account. I sent messages asking how to access my account from other devices, but no response.
Right now I think I might save my GW tokens and Ship Tokens... In a month I will be able to upgrade a zeta ability, likely faster then If I tried to upgrade 8 ships to 5 star.
I have the same problem and I use android device.. I lost a lot of places because of that.. I'm 80 and I could be a lot higher
On the fights that don't crash I draw as I can't complete the fight in the allotted time because it moves too slowly.
Now, my ipad is quite old (getting a new one for Christmas) but hoping something can be done.
Still crashing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
