Bug Megathread

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

This is an attempt to consolidate them into one prioritized list (backlog)
[updated 2025.02.16] (updating for “R338”)
R338 (search for “v338”) fixed a couple critical items. Thank you!
It also introduced some lower priority issues.

It looks like the new IP2 team is starting to get serious about top priority items like: “hot devices” (thermals), crashes/stability, etc.

Critical priority

  • Unstable game crashes or exits. While starting, in the middle of a match, opening rewards, etc.
    Sometimes the game slows down, 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. (or add Backtrace crash reporting)
    Crashes are counted as a loss mid-game, so the health penalty occurs.
    Discord Discord Forum Forum Discord Discord Forum Reddit Discord Reddit

  • Game freezes, thus you are forced to quit the app.
    Usually after a win, but sometimes in the middle of the game, or opening tokens, MPQ will become unresponsive. Some say they don’t get the reward/PvE points. (due to having to kill the app)
    Sometimes it gets stuck on a red victory screen, other times on a black screen.
    Discord Forum Reddit Forum Reddit Discord Forum Reddit Reddit

  • App Store releases should use Phased/Staged releases
    Rather than pushing out MPQ to all devices you can slowly role it out over a week. Developers need to plan for that. See v327 and v329 (Game would not load at all) or v331 (Team chat is broke) releases for reasons why to slowly update.
    Consider using public Beta releases and tools like Apple’s TestFlight or Google Play Console to gather feedback and (crash or “not responding”) metrics.

  • Can’t play any nodes, Deadpool Daily is missing
    Some devices are not able to play PvE nodes at all. You try to click on the node and nothing happens. Some can exit, and come back and it works, others can’t. Sometimes the entire event goes missing.
    Discord Discord Forum Reddit

  • Can’t play some PvE nodes, or nodes are misplaced off the screen.
    Nodes misaligned in the Tower is the most recently example. Also Webbed Wonder’s walk in the park didn’t work initially.
    Forum Discord Reddit Forum Forum Forum Discord Discord Forum Reddit Reddit

  • 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 Reddit Steam Forum

  • 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 exclusive bug, but been around since he was launched.
    Human and computer take turns, strike/attack tiles will create damage, matches don’t.
    Might occur more often after a “match 5” critical tile is made. The match never ends.
    Discord Reddit Reddit Discord Reddit Forum Reddit Reddit Reddit Reddit Reddit

[Above are “Critical”. meeting the definition of “game breaking” or can’t play the game.]

High priority

  • All assets are removed every major update.
    This makes the game very slow and laggy. People without unlimited data are quitting. It uses 1GB of data to re-download everything the fist day. This was a recent introduced change, rather than deleting everything, delete things that are not needed like old CharacterManagerData, set a max size for the cache 3GB should be plenty. (see also “slow game” below) This was introduced in v334 The “Download All Assets” feature introduced in v338 is the exact opposite of this.
    Discord

  • Hot device and/or battery drains really fast, lowered the priority on this since “batter saver” (lower FPS) was introduced in v338
    Constant CPU/GPU/memory usage are making the device hot and quickly draining the battery. Optimizations are needed, with a dead a battery you can’t do anything. Heat can cause instability (see the next few items)
    Forum Discord Discord

  • Stuck at 32% or 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 v327 or v329 hanging on the Marvel screen.
    Forum Discord Steam Reddit Forum

  • Game won’t finish loading.
    Lowered priority as this is actually caused by multiple (duplicated) things.
    Stuck on Marvel screen is due to all assets are removed every major update.
    Stuck on blue percentage is caused by intermittent network connection issues, and poor error handling.
    Stuck on a red swirl was last fixed via a data update at the start of a new season.
    Sometimes it is frozen at the Black Marvel screen, other times it stuck on the blue percentage screen, and sometimes a red circle or swirl
    (There was a fix for the red circle/swirl)

  • Events Quests don’t progress or are wrong.
    There is a pattern of quests not working, sometimes the text or character is wrong or unclear.
    Reddit Forum Discord Forum Discord

  • Story Points aren’t being counted
    Sometimes when completing a node, you are not given the progression points. This causes you to miss out on rewards. This is most noticeable in stories like Tower, since the nodes are not re-playable.
    Discord Reddit 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 Steam Reddit

  • Entire Roster has damage that will take years to heal while not a VIP
    Don’t play the game for a long time, come back and your roster says it will take years to heal.
    The player did not purchase VIP
    Discord Reddit

  • 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.

  • Pressing “Ascend” on a 1* as 2* or 3* deletes the character
    Normally when you ascend a character the lower character disappears and you get a higher level. In this case you get nothing.

  • Pending covers are deleted before they expire when you champion a character.
    If you leave some covers pending (on the vine) and champ a character pending covers are removed.
    Discord Reddit Forum

  • On Kindle Fire you can’t make store purchases
    This was introduced in v332 when changes to how store transactions were made, and a minor Unity version was updated.
    “Added extra safeguards to ensure store bundles always grant the correct items” may have had an unintended side effect.
    Discord Forum

[Above are “High”. meeting the definition of “frustrating” or no obvious workaround.]
##Medium priority

  • Slow game, lots of lag, visuals taking time/not loading/wrong, but not crashing. Lowered the priority since “Download all Assets” was introduced in v338 and seems to help
    It takes much longer to clear all the nodes, and open tokens than it used to, generally slower to load things, graphics stutter or fail to load. Scrolling and opening tokens are slow.
    Discord Discord Discord Forum Discord Steam Forum Forum

  • Offers have wrong description and/or offers are not working.
    There have been a multiple deals for purchase, where the description does not match what they are giving out. Frustrating when you don’t get what you pay for. If you contact support@d3go.com they will compensate you.
    Reddit Discord Discord Forum Forum Discord Steam Reddit Discord Reddit

  • Event Rewards screen are not accurate (often too generous)
    The event rewards screen does not always match what was given out.
    Discord Reddit

  • Bounce animations are nauseating
    Some of the new Unity animations are unnecessary and cause a bit of motion sickness.
    An option to disable those extra animations as well, would be nice. They slow down play as well.
    v338 The animation for SAP (special) tiles now throbs down and to the right.
    v338 The charged tiles don’t stop their pulsing.
    Forum Discord Steam Reddit

  • Descended characters have a few issues. v338
    Descended are used for missions that require low level characters.
    However they are not descended to their max level.
    They don’t use the equipped support
    They don’t sort correctly.
    There isn’t an easy way to filter/hide descended characters, making the character list cluttered for high level players who have multiple 1a5 1a4 charters, who just want to see their 1a1*
    If you have multiple descended, you can’t pick them.

  • Battery Saver mode enabled by default. v338
    Users complained the game was jittery, had low FPS, wasn’t smooth after updating to v338, despite not making any changes. Battery saver technically has 3 states, New (never used/set/empty), On=30 FPS, Off=Device’s FPS. if it is “New”, save the state as “Off” so the user knows what happened, vs. changing new options without their knowledge.

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

  • Game board flashes or switches to black
    Introduced in v332 screen flashes constantly, or when you switch between apps you are greeted with a black screen for a second. The strobing (dance party) occurs mostly on Apple iOS 26 when getting a notification.
    Other games that had similar problems, are having some success with Unity 6000.3
    Some have said updating to iOS 26.3 has helped. Lowered the priority as there haven’t been reports after v338, but haven’t seen any notes saying there was a fix.
    Discord Forum

  • 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.
    Character Discord Channel

  • Boosts are no longer randomly dropping
    Typically after winning you could randomly get ISO-8, a cover, team-ups or a boost.
    Boosts are no longer appearing. (they can be purchased and found in vaults)
    Forum Reddit

  • Post-Event Scores are not kept for 24 hours
    It is nice to see specifically where you placed after an event is over, and to be able to double check the final leader boards and rewards.

  • Using shards to upgrade your character sometimes doesn’t work.
    Immediately after getting shards, trying to upgrade a characters level seems to work, but doesn’t actually stay. (level reverts, and shards aren’t used.)
    Reddit

  • Board shuffle causes damage
    When no matches are left, the board shuffles. A reshuffle should not match anything, causing damage or granting AP.
    Forum Discord

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

  • Can’t select language

  • 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 Reddit

  • Android navigation buttons don’t auto hide anymore, and date overlay covers options.
    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. iOS users have a hard time pressing the back button because it is covered with the time
    Discord Reddit Reddit

  • Team ups are no longer scaled to the correct level
    In game, you can request that alliance members send you Team Ups (TU)
    Champed team ups were at the level of the sender or your average top for that star level, whichever was highest.
    Discord Discord 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 Reddit

  • 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.
    When it does work, it says there is a HP sale, and there isn’t.
    Reddit

  • 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

  • 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. It recenters for a bunch of different reasons not just after Player vs. Enemy (PvE) completes.
    Discord

  • Larger multi-wave node enemies show up inconsistently.
    Waves with 3+ enemies in a single wave isn’t consistent.
    For example: Start with 5 enemies, down a couple, remaining enemies count is 3, but only 2 are on screen. Need to down those 2 before the last 1 shows up.

  • 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. This worked correctly in previous Unity releases.
    Forum Discord Reddit Steam

[Above are “Medium”. meeting the definition of “annoying” often times there is a workaround.]

Low Priority

  • 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

  • Team chat is Empty
    The chat is reset/cleared each time it is loaded.
    It might be a data issues with certain characters that were typed in, as it does not happen for all teams.

  • Big Enchilada Deadpool Daily Quest does not allow the use of some saved teams.
    This daily quest is one of the few with no restrictions. you can simply select each character as a workaround.

  • Text Bugs in multiple places
    There are many places where the text is wrong, or the formatting is incorrect

  • Sound bugs, get stuck repeating etc.
    Sometimes a noise will get stuck repeating sounds like AIM bots make when they “do stuff” or electricity crackling.
    Reddit

  • Player starts a match looking like they are damaged
    There is a visual bug where it looks like your character is half damaged but they are not.
    Reddit

  • Roster Filter is inconsistent.
    Filtering by “upgradeable via ISO” in your Roster shows characters that can’t be upgraded.
    Discord

  • Leveling a character with multiple copies should display valid options. *
    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
    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.
    Reddit

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

  • Supports have the wrong images after leveling up
    The pictures on the supports seem to have shifted by a couple after upgrading a support.
    Supports seems to act normal, probably just a visual glitch.
    Discord

  • Rewards that contain Favorite Support Shards, will have characters overlaid
    Normally Support shards mean you can pick your character so they are blank.
    However they often show a character’s face on them, making it look like a character reward.
    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

[Above are “Low”. meeting the definition of “inconvenient” they either don’t affect game-play directly or there is an obvious workaround]

I am no longer tacking fixed items, they should be listed in the release notes.

Final thoughts

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 are near the top.

I’ll try to keep this current. (removing items, once they are fixed)
I’ve spent multiple hours gathering/maintaining these 50+ different issues.

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.

KGB

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. :wink::seal:

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 - Welcome to SHIELD Reward Error - MPQ Bugs and Technical Issues - 505 Go! Official Forums

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.

KGB

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.

Done today in the DPD. Fired Nova Green, it killed 3 enemies. 2 of remaining 3 appeared. 6th only came after killing 4th and 5th.

I’ve updated the original post to reflect the new v329 items, and noted/removed the v329 fixes as well.

Shout out to @Krazy for all the effort put in to this so far.

Truly wish there also would be a dev-led ‘known issue’ and ‘priority fix’ tracker that is frequently updated. That seems ridiculously beyond the realm of possibilities though. Efforts like these by the community members is what makes me continue to appreciate the game.

Also

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.

Is broader than just PvE. The issue is that screens reset when exiting, full stop. Not just in PvE. Exiting any Story event resets the Story overview screen. Exiting any Versus event resets the Versus overview screen. Exiting any PvE node resets the Event overview screen. Exiting any Boss node resets the Boss event overview screen. And here ‘Exiting’includes completing/winning/manually exiting.

Before Unity the game remember the prior view placement. Not it resets to baseline view.

On a personal note, and from someone who has experienced few other bugs, this is much higher than Medium priority to me. I absolutely hate it

I’ve updated the original post to reflect the new items, and a couple older ones I missed previously.
I noted/removed a couple v330 fixes as well.

I think I am going to take a break from tracking bugs, for a while.
This list (first post) is fairly long and comprehensive, it will take time, to fix them all.

I’ve updated the original post to reflect v331 changes.
Only three new bugs found in v331 so far, two of them were fixed with a data push in v331
Quite a few older bugs appear to be fixed.
Thanks Zarqa (comment below) Cover exchange cost bug was both introduced and fixed in v331.

I’ll probably create a new “Fixed” section, and move them to it, after a few days.
It’ll be nice to track the good progress that has been made.

@Krazy another reported 331 bug (not tested myself): the cost of cover exchanges reverted back to the old, higher HP price.

Edit: apparently only the 4* exchange cost (according to Discord) and not the rest

Another bug - one nod in current puzzle gauntlet is not playable… Started to count how many times i will be forced to retreat due to unmovable tiles… 11 times… Deadpool daily was working fine, so…
Btw - ok, bugs will be removed, and then what? The same pathetic compensation as earlier? Deadpool daily with two weeks of “Victory banner” bug means 14 3* covers, also lost chance to get 10 covers pack for PVP, two favourite pve events and Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. - what they had given us as a repay?

That is captured above.

forced to retreat due to unmovable tiles
Happens pretty much every day to me, I listed it under “critical” priority back in June.

All we can do is report bugs, and hope they get fixed.
Wish there was more I could do to help.

The first/top post has been updated to reflect fixed and new bugs for v332.

Constant crashing. Sound inconsistently works. Please fix- my alliance is a ghost town.
