    I've been very lucky with my Steam/PC play with this major change since it hit.
    Other than the interruption of my game on the day it dropped, the weird visual bugs (Thank You to the Devs for finally fixing the Multi-Support bug) and the Unobtainium Quests that hit everybody, I've still been able to play everyday without any major malfunctions.
    There was some noticeable lag for the first few days, but that has gone away as well.

    I can also post to bugs, but I have a minor annoyance to report. At least for me, all of my ascended 2-stars are being displayed in the “I have covers to be added” filter and display the “I have covers to be added” arrows in the character selection menu. I am on iOS.

    Otherwise, once you get past the (hopefully soon to be fixed) stuttering animations, no real complaints. I needed to resort my stored teams anyways.

    Do linked accounts function across multiple platforms (Android and Steam)?

    I've lost the bottom buttons while the game is open. The Navigation Bar does not appear on my screen when the game is open. I have to press the power button on the side and then unlock the screen for the navigation bar to show back up. I checked all corresponding features on my end and it should be showing up but it isn't. Gotta be on bcs' end.

    I still can't see my roster, or ascend any characters.

    I still have a bug that freezes my game after every fight, because of a "Thanks for playing! Have an extra gift on us, 100 shards!" pop up that I can't click out of. (This has been mentioned in discord, and I have been poking at it every few days, but no real response on how to fix it or why it's only happening to a few people on Steam.)

    Good news is I'm getting a FF token every time I win a pvp match after re-launching the game so overall win for me. Also got to do the 2 dp daily crashes again after the update, so I'll see tomorrow if Droid has that bug too.

    Android has both of those features.

    And you thought this was a good idea to post on the OFFICIAL forum for bcs to see and rectify because?

    Pretty simple really...im tired of the poop show of a game that's currently running. So I'll be pointing out anything I see that needs fixing, to my own and anyone else's detriment.

    Doesn't say loading when you launch the game, just the percentage.

    Looks like the Amazon Appstore version updated. Still can't download the Google play version (v324)since it remains a build behind Amazon (v325). Hopefully they fix that before Amazon Appstore sunsets on August 20th.

    Well, the lag is real and awful. Everything takes longer.

    On my Android Samsung phone, I also keep losing my back button. It keeps disappearing and then I have to drag it back into play. Very annoying.

    Also, the game doesn't start at the top of the screen anymore. It starts a little lower.

    IOS update is out and I am scared to update it. I guess Broken circle Devs love living up to their name sake

    I see what you mean by having to drag it back, that about half solves my problem. Annoying, yes. But definitely less annoying then the go around I was doing before.

    I am not updating my IOS for this game until the app forces the update on me. Shame on BCS for half asking this and rushing it out. You should have worked and took your time on this.

    For those experiencing some lag, the more you play, the more Unity will download assets that are missing and you should start to see an improvement over time. Unfortunately, the original game didn't have a "Download all assets" button which would've improve the initial Unity experience. It'll be an ongoing area of improvement though.

    Also, for crossplay enabled devices, be sure to update both versions of MPQ to avoid any versioning desyncing. I've seen some issues where a secondary device isn't able to access the main account, but the main account is working fine. Please reach out to CS and we'll try to troubleshoot since this crossplay feature isn't really a Unity thing and we should be able to help troubleshoot.
