Bugs can be found in this forum, Discord, Social Media, App Stores, etc.

This is an attempt to consolidate them into one area (backlog)

  • Hot device and/or battery drains really fast
    Constant CPU/GPU/memory usage are making the phone hot and quickly draining the battery. Optimizations are needed.
    Forum Discord

  • Slow game, lots of lag, but not crashing
    It takes much longer to clear all the nodes than it used to, generally slower to load things, graphics stutter or fail to load. A "load all game assets" button, might help with the intermittent pauses. Scrolling is slow.
    Forum Discord

  • Unstable game crashes/exits in the middle of a match, opening rewards, etc.
    Sometimes the game slows down, or blinks black, prior a crash. a.k.a. "game boots me back to the home screen/desktop"
    App stores can provide crash reports to be analyzed by developers.
    Forum Discord Discord

  • App Store releases should use Phased/Staged releases
    Rather than pushing out MPQ to all phones with possibly buggy code you can slowly role it out. Developers need to plan for that however. See R237 release for a reason why.
    Consider using public Beta releases and tools like TestFlight.
    Apple Google

  • Can’t make matches, forced to retreat
    The only thing you can click/press is retreat, the game is not hung/frozen. It just won’t let you make matches. It acts like it is not your turn.
    Forum Discord

  • You can make tile matches, but they don't register AP or damage.
    AP doesn't increase when a match is made, matched tiles are not removed, not a Mephisto bug.
    Human and computer take turns, strike/attack tiles will create damage, matches don't.
    Might occur more often after a "match 5" is made.
    Discord

  • Stuck at 42% loading, or Blue swirl (not frozen as animations still move)
    When your internet connection drops for a second, the game will "hang" (not progress)
    Depending when it occurs you get three different "hung" screens.
    You have to force quit MPQ, no "Comm Link Disrupted" message is displayed.
    Note: This is not the same as R327 hanging on Marvel screen.
    Forum Discord

  • Match Making Ranking (MMR) in Player vs Player (PvP) has mostly seed teams.
    Normally you are paired up with players that are similar in rank to you.
    Right now they don't seem to be balanced.
    Forum Discord

  • Entire roster takes damage/injured while VIP
    Come back to the game and all your characters have damage despite not using all of them
    Forum Discord

  • Purchase VIP and alliance doesn't receive Command Points (CP)
    Other purchases seem to give out CP, but buying VIP does not give CP to teammates.
    Forum Discord

  • Player awards are not being given out, despite meeting point threshold
    In Player vs. Enemy (PvE) you gain points be defeating enemies. Once you reach certain level of points, awards are supposed to be given, but are not.
    Forum

  • Bounce animations are nauseating
    Some of the new Unity animations are unnecessary and cause a bit of motion sickness.
    An option to disable those animations as well, would be nice.
    Forum Discord

  • Characters keep switching
    Game doesn't use the last used team, or the saved teams correctly.
    Seemingly random charters will be loaded.
    Forum Discord

  • Character abilities are not working as expected/described
    Multiple (typically newer) characters abilities are not 100% working as expected.
    A special Discord area has been created to track each character.
    Discord

  • Cover exchange uses more covers than expected [added 2025.08.13]
    If you have multiple covers on the vine for one character, and you want to exchange just one, it will exchange multiple, and use your HP as well.
    Discord

  • Board shuffle causes damage
    When no matches are left, the board shuffles. It should not match anything and cause damage.
    Forum Discord

  • Carol Danvers' black cover shows up in Taco tokens too much
    People are seeing the same cover appear in the Taco Vault:Spicy, way too often for it to be random.
    Forum Discord

  • Switching between apps causes popup
    Switching and being greeted by “options” and “retreat” when you come back is not typical app behavior (iPhone users especially)
    Forum Discord

  • Can’t select language
    Not everyone in the world speaks the same language. Let us pick what we want to use.
    Forum Discord

  • Team chat does not work when using certain text or punctuation.
    When using characters with with diacritics (ö) or certain punctuation (") Team messages won't be sent.
    Discord

  • This Season's rewards are not correct.
    It looks like you are supposed to get a Thing cover, but instead you get Invisible Woman.
    Discord

  • Android navigation buttons don’t auto hide anymore.
    Previously on some Android phones the navigation buttons would only appear if you swiped up. This should be an option, as some preferred v324 behavior.
    Discord

  • Team-up powers show as unused despite being used.
    It you equip 3 team-ups and use them, they don't always show as "grayed out"
    Discord

  • 1* Juggernaut black power "Your Puny Toys" should warn you
    Most abilities if you try to fire them and they would have no effect will warn you.
    If there are no special tiles on the board, you will waste 10 black AP.
    Discord

  • Back/Escape buttons are not consistent
    When an offer pops up, you can't close it with a back button or an escape.
    Every other popup you can close using that.
    Forum Discord

  • Today's News button no longer works
    Some players don't know about other ways to get MPQ news and rely on the in game Today's News. The button has been gray since Unity was released.

  • End of Story results are gone immediately when the story ends
    You used to be able to see your results for 24 hours after the Story event completed.
    Discord

  • Player vs. Enemy (PvE) Map re-centers after each match.
    This is particularly annoying if there is a node you have to scroll too, and you are trying to clear it.
    Discord

  • Enemy count-down timers don't pulse while switching characters
    If there are multiple enemy count down times on the board, you can select an enemy and their timers will pulse. Use an ally "pick a tile" ability (not selecting a tile yet) and switch enemy characters, the countdowns no longer pulse. i.e. Captain America

  • Team chat's red dot indicates a new message, it does not clear after reading.
    The red dot on alliance chat typically indicates there is a unread message.
    When you go to chat there is no new messages to read.
    Discord

  • Leveling a character with multiple copies should display valid options. [added 2025.08.16]
    You are prompted with "Decisions Decisions... You have more than one"
    When you press train, characters that are not trainable are displayed next to one that can be.
    Discord

  • Rewards are occasionally delayed/missing [added 2025.08.16]
    Reaching PvE levels, or claiming Season Pass, etc. should be nearly instant.
    (Ranked rewards, are expected to be delayed)
    Sometimes you have to exit the game or play a node before a reward dialog pops up.
    A "refresh rewards" button in Options (short term) or
    A refreshed Inbox feature (long term) where you choose when to gather all queued rewards and see a history, would be nice.

  • Ascended character should show next reward
    When clicking on a characters "Next Reward" it should scroll to the appropriate level for the next reward. Similar to how Season pass scrolls to the next reward.
    Discord

  • Can’t rename saved teams
    If I have 12 saved teams I can’t rename them all.
    Seems like it works fine for the first 6 or so teams.
    Discord

  • Deadpool Daily's Crash of Titans says "unavailable" instead of "completed"
    This event is unique in that you have a week to complete it
    If you do, it will say "unavailable" for the rest of the week. (grey lock)
    The day you complete it it will say "completed" (red check)
    This makes it seem like you need to complete some task/node to unlock it
    Forum Discord

  • Special covers don't display on ascended characters.
    Occasionally there are special events like Zombies or Christmas in July, and some characters will have temporary alternate covers. If a character is ascended, the alternate cover does not show up.
    Discord

In the AMA IceIX said he prefers bugs as "Purpose made forum posts"
Please post new bugs in a separate thread, not this one.
I tried to make this list somewhat prioritized, higher importance items near the top.

These all exist in v328, I'll try to keep this current.

    Thanks for consolidating a list.

    You might want to add that MMR seems broken in PvP, Class Of etc as you get endless seed teams (at least 30+ wins worth) and after that are unable to queue regular teams worth more than like 20 points.

    Added. Put in the middle, because clubbing seed/seal/starter teams is kind of fun.
    Normally I can't/don't compete in PvP because I am the one getting clobbered. 😉🦭

    This list is still "a work in progress" So I welcome any/all feedback.

    Great list!

    A few I may have missed, but in case I didn't:

    Board Autoshuffling when moves are available.

    Earning 1600 points in Welcome to SHIELD for The Maker, but still didn't receive the token - https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/92409/welcome-to-shield-reward-error#latest

    VIP renewal CP not being distributed to the Alliance.

    I've added all of those except: board auto shuffling.
    There was confusion as to if it was something like Magik's black "Drag me to Limbo"
    I have not seen many reports or seen a video to confirm this.

    Thanks so much for compiling this! Most of the issues already have tickets in our logs and now that R328 is seemingly in a stable state for most, we'll be getting back to releasing builds in our regular cadence (hopefully).

    I'll continue to put out actual patch notes so we can clearly communicate which future bugs are knocked out.

    While you are knocking out bugs, there is one that's been driving me nuts for a long time that should be trivial to fix.

    In the apply covers screen when you click on a cover and it says there are multiple characters to apply it to, can you PLEASE PLEASE fix the code to ONLY display that character in the selection screen. Right now it displays the highest level character and a bunch of other random characters of the same level. For example if I have a L270 Wolverine Patch and a L240 Wolverine Patch if I click on my Patch cover and go to the selection screen it shows the 270 Patch and then other 270 characters (say Beast, Elektra and so on). You either have to right scroll endlessly looking for your 240 copy or back out entirely from the apply covers screens, go to your roster and search for Patch. It's incredibly annoying (and making applying covers take a very long time) when it should be trivial to just have the selection screen show all your Patches.

    Couple of others:

    Wave nodes - behavior of larger than 3 enemy waves isn't consistent. I have seen it recently where the remaining enemies count is 3, but only 2 are on screen. Need to down those 2 before the last 1 shows up. Changes during cascades as to when the 4th enemy shows up compared to pre-Unity behavior.

    Rewards show up only within events - very minor first world problem, but the rewards not popping in until you click into an event is a tad annoying

    As someone who plays PVE/PVP in slice 5, the events disappearing out of the game as soon as slice 5 ends is a frustrating deviation from old engine behavior whereby they stayed in-game for ~1 day after ending. It is no longer possible to see your final score and placement or even check the rewards you should have received since the rewards pop-up is also bugged when showing more than 1 rewards batch (e.g. personal plus alliance rewards, sub plus event placement, etc.).

    @KGB
    I added that bug to the list.

    @Punter1
    I added the delayed rewards item, as this has been reported by several people (not new to Unity)

    There were changes to how multi-waves nodes work recently.
    I would recommend recording a video and making an individual post about it.
    Sometimes there is a "boss wave" at the end, that acts different.

    @toecutter3095
    Please see item:
    "End of Story results are gone immediately when the story ends"
    I tried to incorporate your "rewards pop-up is also bugged" into Punter1's comment.

    All three:
    I added the new items lower (priority) on the list, since there are currently workarounds.
