Post R342 improvements, suggestions, and bugs

In no particular order: (Just numbering them for ease of reference)

1) Screen auto movement/centering is worse on phones after the 342 update.

Preferred behavior is: Remember the exact location of the screen, only the player should move the screen. When a battle completes, leave/scroll the screen where it was, prior to the match.


Say I play 1, 2, 3, 4, then 10.
As soon as the first clear on 10 is done, it now moves back to center on 4.
Node 10, which I just completed, is no longer on the screen.
Minimally, the new “Auto center” feature should be a toggle option.

2) Brawnbuster has no cover art.

3) Volume turns on, after the update.

Despite having the volume turned off for years.
After updating sounds are on, despite it looking like:

4) Stuck on Marvel screen for 5+ minutes (only the first time after the update)


Some sort of “Post update cleanup, please wait…” message would be nice.
Depending on how many assists are being removed, and how slow the device’s storage is, this can take a long time.

5) Code Redemption | Marvel Puzzle Quest website shows an error “Too many requests”

This has been a problem intermittently for a month.

If you try to redeem a code like “GAVEEDRA” an hour later, it works.

6) Season points for PVE??

It looks better now:


I guess I had 29505 progression points in PVE prior to winning, now I have 29656?
I don’t think that “Season points” exist in PVE, Progression rewards do.

obviously better than it was before, when it was overlapping:

But really it should look like:

7) Heroic mode

It is an interesting concept; it has room for improvement.
If people are playing for speed/placement they are probably going to skip it.
At least we have a choice, which is good.
If people want a bit more of a challenge, and don’t care about placement it is a fun option.
Not having the required characters be boosted, was also a choice.

8) Today’s News

Welcome back my old friend, you were missed.


It would have been nice if the link was displayed, or was clickable.

Baby steps, this is better that the silence of the last 5+ months.

So many people were asking “What is the NORMAL/HEROIC button??”
I feel like a Today’s News paired with a link to a Blog Post with HEROIC details would’ve been a nice touch.

I know links are possible, because the ‘HELP’ button does open them.
However, the Help site is very outdated

9) Apple/iOS 26 (Liquid Glass) and stability

Let’s be honest, Unity’s support for iOS 26 when it first released in fall 2025 (Northern hemisphere) was not great. It’s time to switch from 6.1, to 6.3 or 6.4
Several improvements for iOS 26 were not “back ported” to 6.0 and 6.1
Looking at the crash logs (Backtrace) surely patterns have emerged by now.
Crashing, flashing/“disco disco”, freezing, black screens

10) The MPQ 2026 Player Survey

I hope you get lots of good feedback, and more importantly act on it.
There was a question: What do you dislike?

“Bugs” was not an option, if it was, I suspect it would be the #1 choice.

It has been my experience that doing a survey once a year is not frequent enough.
Having a shorter version of the annual survey, every 4 months works well.

Final thoughts

Apologies for the wall of text, I tried to break it up with pictures.
While this may seem like a “There goes Krazy, on a rant bashing MPQ again”
This is not the intent. I am trying to share honest and constructive criticism.
The direction MPQ has been heading, in general, has been good.
Without feedback and constructive criticism, change for the better rarely occurs.

Edit: typos and updated screenshot, nothing big.

Krazy, please don’t ever apologize. Your efforts and diligence to track, categorize, update, and describe bugs is impressive and hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Totally agree

Have a like my good man

Thanks, @Krazy!
Updates on a few of these-

  • Map Movement - We’re going to do a mixed sort of solution (343). The first time you visit a map it’ll select a playable pin (handy for the confusing early game situation and straightforward chapters). After that, it’ll reopen wherever you left it (like it was before Unity).
  • Celestial Brawnbuster cover art - We’re waiting for confirmation that our choice has been approved.
  • Volume Bug - That is… Weird. Have reported.
  • Code Redemption Error - I’ll report this issue back to 505 and see what can be done.
  • Season Points in PVE - That text will be gone in 343.
  • Links in Popups - We’ll also be fixing this in 343. (We didn’t know it was broken until we tried to put the survey out.)
  • Unity Upgrade - As we mentioned, aiming for 343. If updating it doesn’t look like it’s going smoothly enough, it’ll be 344.
  • Survey Aspects question - In retrospect “Feature” would’ve been a better word than “Aspect.” Bugs are indeed a pretty major aspect right now…

This might be too much of an ask, but I have been able to play one match today (thankfully crashing out after the victory banner) and every other time I’ve logged in, it crashes at any point between clicking ANY button and making a first match in a game.

I know 343 is supposed to fix this in a week or two, but will there be any compensation for those of us who can barely open the game? I apologize if this is too complainy, but I’m missing out on 6 shards, 5 shards, covers, iso, tokens, and season pass quests. Not to mention trying out Heroic. Anyway, I miss playing but I genuinely cannot right now. At all.

The Unity Upgrade can’t come quick enough.

It finally happened. Got screwed over by Disco Disco. Play fine allll day. Get 3 disco disco during grind. Finish just out of time to drop from top 5 to 47th. Clears perfectly fine.

This is costing me 6star shards.
