Before Ashes of Outland, this game's performance on mobile was amongst the best I'd ever seen in a mobile game. Since playing the game when it first came out on mobile, performance was always buttery smooth, with no noticable lag, and with no random disconnections.
After Ashes of Outland, however, I can barely go a single game without being randomly disconnected. If I try to close the app and re-login to a game, the client usually not only fails to reconnect, but fails to give me a failure-to-reconnect notification, simply landing me at the main screen as if no game had just been taking place 30 seconds prior.
Between disconnects, performance is noticeably choppy, with animations intermittently becoming stop-and-go, and with many point-and-click player actions becoming unregistered by the client, leading to frustrating scenarios where the player has to re-preform actions multiple times (and extremely carefully!) in order to achieve their intended outcome.
Not only that, but random text artifacts will now pop-up sometimes in the middle of the game (for example, "Deal 2 damage to an enemy") and hang there for some time. This text can be located anywhere on the screen, but tends to center itself in the middle of the game board, or at the bottom-right. Just as these text artifacts seemingly pop into existence, they (thankfully) also randomy disappear after a while.
To note, I've restarted my phone many times, uninstalled/reinstalled the app several times, and have played the game on PC just to make sure the issues weren't reproduced on that platform. Every time, the same issues reemerge on mobile, but cannot be reproduced on PC.
/Also to note, my mobile phone is a OnePlus 5T, Snapdragon 835 processor, 8GB RAM, Android 10(?). Super fast phone, even after years of use.
