Several performance issues.
1. Takes about 5 minutes to launch
2. First match, no matter the mode, results in freezing at the VS screen or initial hand causing my turn to timeout and creating a match loss. This has occurred in past paid events with no refund issued.
3. First match that actually launches and allows me to play, is very choppy and laggy.
4. During several matches, game freezes and window pop ups with MTG arean logo and exclamation point present, causing the application to shutdown and relaunch.
5. Upon exiting the game, confirmation screen is frozen and takes about 5 minutes to shut down and locking my laptop from doing anything else, ie launch a browser, power the laptop off, etc.

I have not other programs running at the time besides a MTG companion overlay. My internet connection is a steady 450mbps. The game has been like this since I installed it over 8 months ago.

My client before historic anthologies 3 was working fine now is just very slow.
Entering games, shut down the game for example go from the decks to the store always the blackscreen

This JUST started happening to me today after being fine for weeks...MTGA is currently taking 40% of my CPU. It's lagging so bad just on the menus that I'm afraid to go into a game. WotC PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!!!!

After the ikoria update game runs very slow sometimes, using a lot of CPU and GPU time.

I have the client installed on two machines, a desktop and a Surface 3. Both are using the same network connectivity (ethernet 1G on Comcast 1G plan getting 4-500 down and 40 up). Before the recent update both machine would run fine. After this latest update my desktop will no longer run without crazy lag and issues with controls. The interface is fine up until I enter a match. Even playing against a bot it slows down all actions.

LOL I booted this up for the first time and the performance is ridiculous. I can play Doom Eternal at max settings at 1440p over 150 FPS but this runs like garbage? Come on.

Game really likes to 'check for updates' after Ikoria. Like ****, just gonna leave your own client hanging like that? Don't leave your boy on read fam.

Hi, i'm also receiving very slow boot time since the update. I'm happy to see all the comments below, i thought i was the only one.

Please address this in next update.

Fix your servers. Slow boot time and constant in game issues after Ikoria.

New issue Victory/Defeat screen has no continue. I have to force close the game and restart.

My computer has no problem loading any massive gane, and Arena would load very quickly before Ikoria, now it's taking up to 10 minutes or more to get past "checking for updates" and loading inventory. Come on Wizard's!

Very slow load times since the Ikoria update. seems consistently on the "checking for updates" screen after login

Is this still a place to report poor performance?

Game very frequently stutters and drops fps for no apparent reason whatsoever. System has loads of CPU, RAM, GPU and HDD resources available.

Hello,

It sounds like you may need some more troubleshooting advice, please submit at: https://mtgarena-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and select 'Technical Troubleshooting'.

Thanks!

Game constantly freezes during matches. When this happens, the cursor still moves, but I cannot perform any actions, including conceding. I can close the game and reopen it to rejoin my match, but by that point I have already lost a turn or the game.

My game sometimes crashes, and other times lags so bad that I time out. Which I don’t understand I am running it on a new 16 MacBook Pro high end booted to windows 10

Hello
I cannot play anymore this evening to MTGA because the game is laging very much and I cannot complete my turn, especially when I need to select card in my graveyard to sacrifice.
It's laging very much.
My connection is very good, I only have performance issue with MTGA ...

Could you please fix it ?

Significant lag and "static" or "stuttering" in nearly every game I play. Making Arena not worth my time. This is not a performance issue with my machine.

THERE ARE PLAYERS USING CARD VIEWING TO FLASH CARDS ON OPPONENT SCREEN, SLOWING THOSE WITH A LOWER GRAPHIC PERFORMANCE AND PROMPTING THE TIMER ON OPPONENT, CAUSING BUGS AND EVENTUALLY WINNING THE GAME DOING THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
