Game Crashing constantly on Android
The game is crashing constantly on Android. I'm on the latest patch, have a 2022 Samsung mobile phone, & my internet access was strong while playing.
The most recent new catalyst I've found for this ongoing was going to the Sleeves tab in the Profile & either clicking on a Sleeve or simply attempting to scroll down on the page.
Twice the game immediately crashed, on the 3rd attempt the screen went black for a few seconds then crashed.
Not to mention it's now extremely rare to be able to get through a SINGLE match without the game crashing & needing to be restarted, often resulting in non-games from missing turns, if you can even be reconnected.
The most common times for the crashes are when connecting to the match & afterwards, when it's around 60 / 40% whether the game will actually conclude normally or black screen & crash on you. Crashes during matches are so frequent that it's impossible to list all the potential culprits (unlike the Sleeves bug above) - needless to say the app is so unstable that almost any action seems to be enough to cause the app to die.
'Pets' frequently seem to be responsible for lag, & maybe even crashes too. There should be a way to disable them from being displayed.
I've never known a 'finished' product app or game so woefully unstable & buggy as MTG Arena, to the point where I spend as much time battling bugs, crashes, & blank screens as I do opponents.
Given the size & resources of WOTC / Hasbro, with MTG Arena supposedly the flagship digital Magic product it's an absolute travesty that the game is in this dismal, frequently unplayable state.
Every single update seems to make the game more unstable (something that barely seems possible) - urgent QA is needed & should be the game's priority rather than endless cosmetics & extraneous Alchemy supplements.
