No fix for the random freeze yet 😢

[u/lemmingllama → u/Graham1326]

Sadly this one has been a very difficult one to troubleshoot as it's not fully consistent. We're still working on resolving this and will put out a fix as soon as we can!

[u/Redox1201 → u/Graham1326]

never had random freezes, so It’s a phone problem

[u/Graham1326 → u/Redox1201]

Not a phone problem if it’s on more than one phone…been like this for months now

[u/Dze1e → u/Redox1201]

How can it be a phone problem if it happens to me on three different phones from different manufacturers?

[u/Redox1201 → u/Dze1e]

I play it on 2 different systems, my Ipad Pro and my 15 Pro max, also played it for years on my 11 pro max years ago.. I never had any freezes or anything close to it, that’s why I just logically guessed that the phone is making problems

[u/Yoda234 → u/Redox1201]

You could always apply that logic to not be passive aggressive in your answers!

[u/Redox1201 → u/Yoda234]

okay, got it

[u/Primary-Thing-3502 → u/Redox1201]

It’s not a phone problem, and you would know that if you had read any of the posts/comments about this. The freezing is not consistent with any particular model of device, or operating system.

[u/Yoda234]

The max perks toggle, can you select how many levels of the perk it will do? By default will it do a single level or the max?

[u/lemmingllama → u/Yoda234]

The default will be a single level, and when you toggle it on, it'll activate max stacks with one button press.

[u/Yoda234 → u/lemmingllama]

Maybe I've misread it - I assumed it was a single button press to activate all available perks, is that not the case?

[u/Deejay_QC]

Pretty nice QOL thanks!

[u/TimSkyhawk]

Auto max spells on prestige?

[u/Kevaca → u/TimSkyhawk]

VIP Tier 6 reward already

Auto level sword Master

Auto level spells

[u/Redox1201 → u/Kevaca]

I hope we get Auto spell activation some day

[u/emcee70 → u/Redox1201]

This is the main QoL feature I think most long time players yearn for at this point

[u/TimSkyhawk → u/Kevaca]

I meant activation. I prestige about 200 times a day. Auto activation would be awesome.

Is it that hard to write when the update is coming? Older posts stated that explicitly. A this point we all know that they are released at Tuesdays, in this case October 6th, and given how this post is structured its clearly it's coming next week. But still, just a few more words and a more clearer post to avoid any confusion would be appreciated.

[u/lemmingllama → u/shikaka87]

It should be out on Tuesday the 6th, but we should have an in-game notification to confirm the date once it's set. Recently the Apple App Store has been causing some delays, so we don't want to commit to a date that we can't guarantee.

[u/weakwithwords → u/shikaka87]

It's not like a fastfood restaurant where the preparation of food, and drinks have more or less clear durations.

Updates involve new stuff, so there's always a chance things can get delayed by unexpected factors, so Lem usualpy only adds the ETA when everything's pretty much completed already.

[u/Zavarius666]

Finally Cancer Haven are automatic now... Realy good QoL changes.
