WR Android Is A Total Mess Right Now... Pixonic Has To Fix This ASAP | War Robots

This is getting out of hand. Why Is Android performance so bad right now. Recently I noticed lag has been getting really bad. And I really dont know why. I wanted to see if it was my device, and the differences between platforms. I normally use an android emulator, but I did test this on android devices and the same problems occured. Steam is one of the smaller platforms but it is blowing me away. Pixonic has to prioritize this immediately 💥

[@tabindahz4814]

As an android player, this lag has gone out of control. Ive contacted help multiple times. They didnt help much. I love playing WR but it lags and crashes on a regular basis. The game becomes almost unplayable. It goes 1 frame per decade.

[@Potatowastaken_wastaken2]

I get 2 frame per million year, can play more heavy mobile games (pubg) in smooth 90 fps which is max frame rate currently possible there

[@overlord2999]

Contacted help? From who? pixonic?😂

[@zomrex]

Yes, i can't even hit the enemy with my decay

[@twistedmindswr1159]

Get a new phone homie. I have the new galaxy s24 ultra and never have lag.

[@Dreadguard]

Yup. I can second your experiences as an android player in champs league. With all the particles and the BS effects the game just can't handle it. WR went from a game built for mobile games to a game built for PCs due to the ignorance of the developers. This needs to be fixed ASAP

[@itamps]

its been few healthy good days no stress or anything deleting the game was good idea you should try it too

[@999armanff9]

Really could you explain it

[@Tiger4Win]

Fr

[@twistedmindswr1159]

Yet ur watching videos on it. All u need is a big red nose....🤡

[@YourAClownlol]

Trash if you have to delete the game when i have my bad days i just close the app and gp about my day its not that serious 😂

[@Andreww35839]

I am an iOS player, and this issue is very much evident on iOS devices as well. The problem is, that Pixonic has introduced way too many effects (Rust, explosion, etc), module particle effects and overpowered weapons with a plethora of crazy animations, and of course, only top-notch and expensive phones will be able to handle all of those. I believe all of these are being done without giving these a final touch since the developers are rushing with their content and hence the degradation of the quality of an average gameplay. Rather than on quantity, Pixonic really needs to focus more on quality. In my opinion, they should start working on new maps and stop making more bots and weapons for a year to give this game a fresh breath and more room for fixing the bugs and banning hackers. Again, it’s a personal opinion so we may not be on the same page.

[@a77warrobots31]

I have never gotten lag on my phone and I’m on IOS What type of IPhone you have?

[@LordDrewid]

An android player here, you should use bots that produce lots of effects like the dagon and shenlou. And also active some mother ships. Also, get into a situation where there are like three robots shooting you all at once. You'll see just how horrid the lag is

[@MrBiggDaddy6573]

I betcha this video won't make it to the in-game news section.

[@sassy19a]

Why will they publish negative reviews about themselves? Nobody would

[@blue-greenplanet2738]

The worst thing about My Games/Pixonic is they nerf new robots and weapons to mediocrity after the players buy them with hard-earned money. Nothing feels satisfying when buying in-game items at all.

[@dylanzapper3445]

Pixonic has always done rebalaces robots n weapons since the game was released in 2014 Pixonic nerf items in a stronger way now than they use to. Pixonic is guilty of making OP content while the player's are guilty of buying it knowing it will be nerf in 4 month. To clarify, player's are basically renting equipment. And Some player's despite having items nerf over n over they continue to make investments these are the player's pixonic cares about not player's that spend casual $10-20 per month.

[@MrBiggDaddy6573]

@@dylanzapper3445 yeah. I've won a Pathfinder bot and some Tesla weapons. I'll wait until they're nerfed before I consider leveling them up.

[@ragnar_real]

​@@sassy19aI mean if I made a game I would lol... Being a greedy company is easy, but being a good company is hard.

[@Toxin-Official]

as a steam player, i firmly agree with all this. although its the only platform i play on after losing my android acc back in 2019, i sometimes find it unfair that 1: back then it took till 2023/2024 to enable cross platforms to all but clans (which is of course coming soon, but thats way too late for such a thing to happen) and 2: i feel bad at times when some of my friends on android suffering from a crapton of lag

[@the_shadow_4427]

another problem I (as an android player) have encountered the past few weeks (if not even months, not sure since when this has been a thing) is that I can not join a squad / invite people from other platforms into my suqad

[@PREDATORWR]

I think they fixed that a couple days ago. not sure why

[@ozkanbuyukbasiceman6990]

Finally someone says it, we've had the lag problem on Android for years. Sometimes we lose bots just because of lag, or we can't kill a bot with 20% hp because of lag. That's unfair to Android players (((.

[@FOH33]

I only face lag on War Robots Android when I'm on mobile data, which by itself is slowing down because I use it during school. When I'm on wifi, I don't experience any lag.

[@techoeastveld]

I absolutely hate it when im using my Solid Jagger mk2 with the solid gauss mk2 weapons, and I only have one shot to hit the guy before recharging, so I fire when someone is in my sightlines...and it doesnt even register the hit and I waste a shot for no reason, even though the shot CLEARLY HIT HIM. Its super frustrating.

[@jesslindsey8914]

I've noticed that it usually happens when multiple metas use multiple abilities simultaneously.

[@Krico-gk4tz]

Sometimes when i play, the game, just randomly without any reasons, starts to have really big fps Drops and then i have like ich legitimatly 5 fps for like 3 Minutes, and when i shoot and Hit someone the damage always comes delayed by 1 second, and that happens every round, and like 20% of my Hits dont even count

[@IcicleWR]

I have also had problems on android. Fainters are a nightmare to use. Low reload speed and the lag makes people teleport 2 meters every time you shoot at them making them move even upon lock-down. It is insane.

[@eimantasdijokas9927]

It depends what phone you have and if it supports 60fps option and 5g internet. But yes some times lags are too big

[@the_shadow_4427]

13:54 you can also up the graphics settings on android - I personally do not see that big of a difference between playing on my android tablet (Galaxy Tab S8) and on my PC (on Steam)

[@doiknowyou1179]

Surprisingly, I haven't had any of those issues.

[@lesterfreeman6093]

I am on Android as well, i can't use certain robots because the lag is so bad. I can't use my Ravana,Shenlu, Scorpion and many more because Android can't keep up the FPS

[@do.xuantung]

Turn on FPS on Steam by Shift-Tab and go to settings icon, there is an option to display fps

[@JerryMabrey]

I play on Android and the lag is so bad,and it's impossible to counter act and I lose probably 50% of the time and it crashes really frequently, I play for about 2 to 3 hours a day and it crashes at least 3 times, in the middle of battles and right at the beginning of battles, I've spent a lot of money just to continuously lose its pathetic, its so bad its not even fun anymore.

[@bluefirework]

my android tablet doesnt lag unless my wifi randomly gets high ping but thats wifi lag not frequent lag spikes. but im sure a lot of peoples devices will lag because there is too many effects to the point where the sounds get messed up. titan sonic weapons and teslas do that a lot

[@aliffhazwan2208]

kinda depends on what device, try ask in forum what android brand perform and what not. some brand specificly optimize their product line up to perfrom better because of target market for example war robot in usa have total more player than other countries which make sense why apple device show less problem whilst in asia consumer are leaning towards device thet can perform in pubgm or moba games hence androids are more optimized for em

[@aliffhazwan2208]

pardon the mistyping, I'm too lazy to fix it word by word

[@mc_kaTsU]

the lag get worst when Using teleporting robots, i have shenlou and when i use it it really really really bad

[@dracogaming44]

The internet in android is freaking crazy... I have to switch on the net again or else there will be no dmg to the players in freaking every game..

[@Madhuka_Lakshan97]

I complained to them about this lag. They said that they have already received the complaint in this regard. They said they will fix it in the next update. But after the new update it lags even more now.

[@marcokonst4144]

I thought it was just me thank god. Every time I play my phone heats up waaaay more than usual and if someone shoots something with a lot of projectiles my fps drops to like 4fps for a sec

[@--MFGAMING--]

I'm on android and I have noticed a lot of lag lately too. More than usual and I'm running the game on my gaming PC. I can run Cyber punk at the max RT setting and maintain 120FPS but I can't hold 40 FPS in war robots 🙄

[@SWY1356]

There's something wrong, since my ol rx570 stays at 60 at the highest graphic settings, probs compatibility issues

[@daddydoom1957]

Bro I try to load into a match and I get in, everyone is moving lag free in my screenn. But the game refuses to let me spawn at all. I just end up spectating the whole team minute match and have no clue why.

[@dibyanshudas5077]

weird thing i noticed, max graphics as well as 60 fps both show not supported on my device, but at the same time i can run genshin impact or honkai impact at max graphics and shaders on 60 fps without issues, any idea why??

[@Ihavekidsinmybasememt]

Wr optimisation is ass, plus there’s about a million effects

[@_expendable]

Interesting, I rarely experience lag on my android.

[@Overseer_Yt.]

That carpemueats guy in the first game practically focusssd you.

[@sol666]

I have noticed it has gotten so bad that am literally firing several second after the target has left the window of attack. Close combat is literally me starting to attack a weak opponent then a frame skip and then im dead.

[@scottphillips2870]

I am on android too, I regularly have bots whirling around me faster than I can even turn.

[@tisoyowens724]

Im on IOS and one thing I really hate about Pixonic is that I can’t use my account on other devices cuz its on android. I really wish that Pixonic make it that you’re able to link an email and create a password to log on to other devices

[@dikahaekalfirzapratama9649]

they need to fix this ASAP

[@gamingb.s4917]

I played on steam for 4 or 5 years now i started on android in 2018 (I still sometimes play on that acc) i play in the meta on steam and never get any lags its crazy

[@PREDATORWR]

steam is way better

[@FrostEntiy]

overheating is also a problem can play 10 games max before it turns into a Hand held fire brick

[@Jiimys187]

Too many animations in the game nowadays. The game looks literally so messy and is probably adding to the performance and lag issues.

[@The1234Franc]

No it’s the OS architecture. IOS is better with less latency, too.

[@kingjega]

With android when playing with my dragoon crisis i often see the first or second hit not even counting which causes me some easy kills and deaths that shouldn't happen

[@y4mve]

on iOS or iPadOS, device heat/tempeture can be the reason of the lag and drop fps

[@Southernstar-RINO]

So it’s the servers that are creating lag? Same device so it’s not that. Whats causing this lag? I’m iOS and get lag occasionally. Worst lag I had was squadding with players from different countries, each player was from different country. The lag was bad.

[@mohamedlayan1510]

Ive stopped using Flamethrower weapon entirely because of the lag. The whole clip never makes contact lmao

[@abyddeon6249]

There are more android players, thats why they combine ios and steam platforms; they can afford the shared server space... if you play when its not peak hours, the lag dissipates significantly, but there is also a difference in code and android is on the far end of the finite state machining for resolving processes

[@Balancer07839]

Honestly I've just gotten used to ignoring it. I play on the minimal graphics but 60 fps, and I still notice a lot of lag, especially when dealing a lot of damage in a single shot. Sometimes I shoot and it registers a hit but deals no damage (I'm using Gauss)

[@PREDATORWR]

recently its just been getting even worse for me. Seems really weird

[@Potatowastaken_wastaken2]

14:04 Device limitation my foot 👟 I play pubg mobile with 90 fps max possible frame rate there is till today. It does lag, but only at certain hot drops where 40-50 other people have landed. Otherwise it runs smoothly like citting butter with hot knife Idk about band width but i have a wifi connection and play games from gtaV to pubg mobile without any troubles. My phone also supports 5g so My phone can handle 30-40mbps speeds easily.

[@War_Robots_YT]

I play on all three platforms as well I would say the lag is the same for all three

[@rekordjaeger]

Well played👍

[@anthonyfowler5279]

Woww finally this lagging is ridiculous I been complaining about this I cannot play a complete game without that ridiculous lagging that's crazy please fixed pixonic.

[@Rothnacum1]

For their anniversary they should have made a 0 to 5 year and 5 to 10 year choice of robots and weapons.

[@lapboi5594]

i cant even get into the game it said that i have no conection even tho i am

[@naecker8974]

another point is that the game is more optimised on iOS and steam. at least the way the devices communicate with the server

[@SWY1356]

It's much easier to optimize ios due to just having the regular iphone line up, but android has a crapton of phones and processors to optimize on

[@malcolmchazalmartin4921]

Bro I get lag: every time i get someone shoots my robot for the first time in 5 secs, everytime i make my first shot with my robot after a few secs, and when theres too much action going on around me even if im not part of it. Like wtf

[@VaradPathak20051992]

Since you mentioned that iOS doesn’t have any lags. I would like to differ from what you have said. The gameplay experience is horrible on iOS as well. As soon as I am engaging with an enemy robot the frames drop or the screen is completely stuck and by the time the lag resolves, my robot is already dead. Pixonic should focus on improving the gameplay rather than focusing on releasing new content every month. The game is unplayable at this point.

[@Crystal-Sound-Digital-Studio]

Forget about the lag. As of version 10.1.0 on Android, the game crashes at startup on Samsung A52 running Android 13. Cleared game cache, uninstalled, reinstalled from the PlayStore, it still fucking crashes!!! WR is fucked beyond repair. LE: As for their PC version, it shuts down my Acer laptop while being plugged into an outlet. I had no other game do that.

[@WR0103]

Why not use Ultimate Edition?

[@asmallboi3559]

The game keeps randomly freezing for me despite playing the game completeley smoothly, it will freeze and then never unfreeze again and ti's completely random too. I think one of your squadmates in your fenrir video also froze and couldn't get back in the match. It's quite a big problem and kind of makes the game unplayable because you can't even do anything about it

[@_Rockdrick]

I see this kind of unfair, think about all the action and things going on the champion league, like all weapons, motherships effects and abilities, and how on the steam account it's like silver league where nothing of that happens, it's so much easier to run, and I didn't count the people that live so much far from the battle server that the lag it's so much noticeable

[@MechAnimalWR]

Anyone not getting Clan Trophies after games!? I noticed it since this morning, I only get League cups 😢

[@mihai5210]

The amount of players and weapons effects are also a thing, if you play FFA you'll notice smother gameplay and less lag, in my opinion the game isn't optimised enough 😕 (I'm backing this up by the fact that lots of time the game gets blurry to some degree, does anyone have this?)

[@hityouwiththatdduddudu]

But the only prob with ffa, half the lobby is bots, other half leave, and your left with just one other enemy for whole fu*king 10 minutes, with those freakishly slow robots and stupidly large maps, if your powerful, that other enemy will most likely be hiding from you and you’ll spend all 10 mins going after him and not getting a single kill, or if your not as powerful, he’ll kill you every time you respawn, no fun at all

[@uzmaiqbal146]

yea bro when i play ffa its smooth but when i play tdm or beacon rush its like i got poop stucked in my toilet

[@deeahvadivelloo4021]

7 v 7 is not a option

[@mindsearth2201]

The most problem is no more money to spend..if no money always got bully..

[@limitraven7173]

That right now you can call it the scratch button grifin😢😢😢😢

[@silencerbear9347]

I swear the lag is caused by ocho’s. It was so bad during the ocho meta in squad games. When the nerf came in and only a couple guys per team are playing them it’s much better. If you get 3-6 ocho’s on a map it’s horrible.

[@PREDATORWR]

ya I dont think that helped the servers

[@gamelias87]

Remastered 😅😅 Predator,if you have any old footage, compare it to *remastered* I bet you we had no lag

[@TSWREPTILES]

I think the android lag is why ive actually been dropped into a game that was already over a minute deep

[@PessimisticGamer-ru1wc]

New update this morning it's worse somehow not better 😢

[@therexyogaming]

The funniest part is, lag still does exist on Steam, just not for us. Android players teleport around on Steam making it harder to hit them XD

[@creativeearthian1702]

Do you use an emulator or what.. I don't get lag on my tablet

[@PREDATORWR]

emulator and phone

[@alaskaassassin_2_m256]

i cant even load into a match da help support wasnt useful at all

[@starkrome8737]

I think it dépend of the device I’m on an iPhone 15 (ios) I don’t have the problem of lag , but I got the problem of unbalanced party

[@JamesRoberts-uf1hi]

Lag is pretty minimal on Steam/PC. As much garbage as they shoved into the game it's not surprising mobile devices lag out.

[@titanandrews]

I'm not sure your test was an apples to apples comparison. The Steam play is using a lower league account, right? So bots are slower, lower class weapons, less effects. I would expect increased lag with increased bot speed, game effects, etc. iOS is NOT without lag. I use a high end iPad with graphics set to medium at 60fps, and see lag continually. Internet connection is A+. I think the lag is simply due to the increased complexity of the game. As you move up in leagues, bots get faster, more graphics effects, modules, motherships, etc., increasing game calculations are needed. Maybe retest on higher league account on Steam? And I bet you'll see same amount of lag.

[@goodmood4652]

Yes the said is very true

[@coadarodica8352]

Its true bc I bought baihu lucrător with veyron weapons but I get kicked out the game which means im crashing so I can't use the lucrător when I sent 7 pounds

[@ecay]

I don't have a lot of issue with the lag but there's a massive amount of people that have got to be hacking the system because not only me but several other people will be pounding on them and they take zero damage or they go from very low health to complete full health multiple times rapidly or they have one shot kills from weapons that don't do that. I'm at a point. Literally I'm about to quit. I'm at a point where I literally am getting to hating the game and it doesn't seem like the creator of the game even gives a care long as people spend money they don't care. I'm absolutely tired of almost every game I go to. There's at least one that will never take damage no matter what is thrown at them. One person can take out everybody and take zero damage but hits a registry and this isn't something that's been going on just recently. This has actually been going on for quite some time. It was just not very often and now it's every game. Somebody is cheating or I've had a few games where everybody seem to be. Nobody took damage. I don't even play with those people. Just leave you know what I think. I'll just delete the game and get rid of it. Thanks for letting me argue. Not worth playing anymore

[@0Nutria]

Ios is similarly laggy I literally cannot rely on short range weapons specially shotguns against lynx or shenlous when they teleport around me and not take damage

[@vyerz1153]

guys is it possible to transfer my adroid progress to steam?

[@NinjaRivera98]

[@emperorkalel]

How can I transfer my mobile to steam?

[@Jack01749]

The lag is terrible for Android especially when you're in the heat of the battle and trying to survive

[@jfk070]

I have noticed that steam performs a lot better then on android as well. Steam is more expensive than mobile. No video viewing and no local currency conversion..etc I really wish pixonic allowed us to log into steam with our android accounts. Unfortunately, I don't believe that pixonic. It has the man power and maybe the technical skills to improve performance. Seems they are heavily focused on the artistic Feel and look of the game over performance & user functionality/experience Eg. Menus in grid mode need to be refreshed as they dont resize to fit screen.. pilot management challenging cant see pilot stacks and no grid view.. cross platform hangers.. cross platform clans.. etc.. It just appears that pixonic is dedicating. Developer resources for new content over fixing improving existing content. They seem to be breaking things along the way. But don't return to fix them afterwards.

[@SPARTAN-74]

And the constant reconnecting

[@LaserUnicorn_racing]

On iPad Pro. absolutely no lag.

[@bobbycampos6576]

IOS is the best and most stable. Side note I have two fun Raven builds for you to try Pred. Wasp/Shredder and toxin/Venom the slimers. Both are awesome build to play. Not very powerful compared to META but I’m in Champion League and having a blast with them just for the challenge

[@carllewis166]

Predator, I agree iOS was lagging last-night kicked my teammate off! And then it froze 4 times I pretty much lost my hanger being I kept freezing. As the leader this looks bad! But also makes playing annoying! IOS ACCOUNT FREEZING TOO! 😡 🕸️🕷️Black widow Commander 🕸️🕷️

[@mohamedlayan1510]

Steam is a single platform. IOS is a single platform. Android is a platform with different OS on different devices. Samsung, Oneplus, MI, Redmi, POCO all these have different OS though all are Android. Takes a lot of time to optimize for every device unlike IOS or Steam.

Yes it's so bad for Android and that's fkn funny because WR was originally a Android only game . They'll never fix anything for us . Just another ios and PC gets the upper hand ....

[@mrtoecutter1927]

Steam is pretty bad right now. I've paused on playing for a bit.

[@do.xuantung]

If this game is cross platform meaning you can use your iOS account on Steam account to play on PC for example, then I will never touch the phone or tablet again

[@joeyhudicek8108]

That's because less people use steam than android or Apple therefore the more people that use the same server the more lag!!!!!!

[@sumeetpalit6362]

Thats the reason why tesla weapons work like magic because they hit regadless of aiming whereas you miss all your shots with sonic weapons beacuse of the lag. 😢... The main reason is badly written code with no optimization and they expect us pay tons for this crap 😅

[@AriAzHandle]

U tell em! 🖖

[@abandon8498]

When I get lag it usually means someone is hacking

[@butchl6403]

There is noticeable lag on iOS as well

[@Roos-BotsiOS]

iOS can be laggy sometimes, I think it’s the cross platform playing, don’t get me wrong I like to play with other players from different platforms. Could it be different servers and VPN, I’m no techi so I don’t know. What does annoy me is sometimes I lock up and die for no reason …. It could be my device or my connection but I have no other issues on any other game. 😩😩😩
