@Saltypatra Any update on when the fix for the Switch will be approved?
Hey folks,
Sorry it appears there may have been a miscommunication, the double skull damage from the AI was affecting everyone, not only those playing on older devices. Sorry for the mix up!
Regarding players who are still having crashing issues on iOS:
It is quite normal for apps to close on mobile devices when too many are open or too many memory hungry apps are open at once, the operating system automatically closes apps running in the background to help the active app run more efficiently. So if you have a really good new phone with the latest operating system, youâre less likely to experience crashes on any app and even then, less frequently than older devices running older operating systems.
The key difference with this specific iOS issue weâre investigating is that it seems to only be getting reported by players with more recent iPhones and the latest versions of iOS installed - so thatâs what makes it stand out to us all.
If you have an iPhone 5 that still runs the game KUDOS on keeping your device in tip top condition - mine already died 4 years ago! - but itâs your OS and device memory causing crashes 
You can try these steps to help run the game smoother but we may not be able to assist you make the game run better in this case we do try to keep the game optimised so it continues working on older devices but at some point it does become very difficult to keep the game running on devices the manufacturer no longer supports either.
If youâre in the group using an iPhone 8 or later model and your game crashes quite regularly even with NO apps running in the background (and I mean NO apps - Iâm looking at you Discord, Facebook, Messenger and TikTok users!) then I would recommend sending a ticket to help us pinpoint the issue.
If you send a ticket through weâll ask you to send through some crash logs for us so we can determine what caused the crash:
https://gemsofwar.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000013356
The information you provide in your tickets is being gathered and passed onto the dev team so we can look for similarities in the devices, OS version, accounts, gameplay patterns etc of the people who are affected by this.
Weâve already been receiving the requested crash reports from a few players so thank you very much!

Thoughts on starting a new thread? This is a great post, and I imagine people will miss it since itâs hidden inside another post.
Also, someone who was experiencing this issue on a brand new iPhone was able to fix it (so far) by reinstalling the game. Just something to try for anyone struggling! Not sure if itâll work for everyone but canât hurt.
So who thought 50 gems and 5 event keys was enough of a compensation for the game being broken for over a week?

It has long been clear that developers donât care what the community thinks

Dear Community, we are fully aware that our bug significantly cranked up event difficulty for more than a week, requiring you to buy additional shop tiers for event energy needed to participate. Those shop tiers cost up to 500 gems each, so even a single purchase due to battles lost is quite painful. Good news, we promised a compensation, and we live up to that promise! Please find 50 gems in your in-game mail, those should make you feel much better about the extra cost we caused you. And since we are feeling extra generous, we are also tossing in 5 event keys. Yay!
Reminder: Donât forget to buy the Elite Pass next week so we can continue to uphold our exceptional service standards.
Hold on, that does make us appear like complete butt holes. Letâs forget about the announcement and just send out the compensation. Please make room under the table, Iâm definitely not going on show up on the forum for the next week.
I guess a less tone deaf move would have been to not send out any compensation at all. If you canât make it look good, at least donât make it look bad.
