    Did the iOS update, playable but oh boi, that feels sloggy, this is what an acid trip must be like

    I'm assuming this is part of the lag, but every member of the AI team initially loads as the in-front character, then switches when the match starts.

    Some of the lag has absolutely improved through additional play. Not all, but I can confirm it does help.

    Okay, force closing the app did help a lot, at least me. Afterwards, the lag is considerably less strong, I would say it’s back to 90% off the old engines speed

    Opponents have active supports in the current LR(Mags). Can confirm 2 of the 4 that were disabled are live in LR(Eros & Copter).

    Edit: Leapfrog live too.

    This is actually a Unity bug since LRs are supposed to have all supports disabled. It should be on our radar to check for the next LR.

    @S0kun Should I be concerned that the version on my Kindle is still R323 ?

    Amazon is on R325 so be sure to force an update.

    Just updated the game. Entered a lightning round and brought up the character select screen and all my characters were invisible. While I was waiting for it to load the game just decided to send me into the match with whatever I had loaded, so that didn't go well.

    Loaded another match and this time it let me pick my team, but after entering the match my opponents team ended up being different than what was shown. Luckily I still managed to win even though I would have picked a different team had it shown me their correct team.

    Also have the bug that it shows me I have 31 characters to upgrade when I have none, as a my back button disappearing.

    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.

    Thank you for this note about crossplay. Since I primarily play on iOS, I haven't opened my Steam version of the game for a bit. I've now upgraded to 324 on iOS. Are you saying that if I update on Steam as well, it should be for version 324 and crossplay should work? And if it doesn't work, CS will help ensure that I will not lose my main account?

    If you update both versions of the game to R324, you can have our CS team point your Steam version of the game to your main iOS account. Simply get to the point of the game where you can find your GUID (long string of numbers and letters above the product version) and CS can link that to your iOS IGN. That's how I play both Steam and Android tablet pointing to my main iOS account.

    Besides the awful lag making it almost unplayable (you can play if you choose to do that to yourself) has anybody else seen supports like fantastic car or thanos copter, just show the damage and not the actual moves in pve on iOS?

    Fire HD 10 (7th Generation) Running Fire OS 5.7.1.0
    Its got some age, but has been fine with MPQ since 2018 . . . and is the only device I play the game on.

    The second time I loaded the game up after the update the load screen locked me out of the game. Got to 42% and now just sits there thinking. About what, idk.

    This is now how I play on my IPhone. Watching this spin endlessly.

    Are you a crossplay enabled player? If so, what's your main account and feel free to DM me your IGN so I can help troubleshoot. We had a similar issue during our beta that was fixed, but this may be unrelated.

    Thanks. I had previously linked my accounts already and so I took a 'leap' and updated and accessed the game on Steam. It accessed my main account successfully. I then logged out and was able to log back in on iOS and access my main account. I'm having some similar issues as many others but happy to report crossplay seems to be enabled again. Thanks.

    After passing the loading screen, and now on the main screen, the game freezes and won't let me do anything.
    The app crashes and kicks me out of the game, it doesn't show the back button.
    I'm on android.
