Yeah, jojo was saying he disconnected 5 times in one hospital.

Ive been having issues with my character not moving when I tap the screen and item failing alot. Thats playing on wifi with no connection issues.

i always play on a wifi connection i should not have any issues but i do the lag stopped for me but i cant play a game without getting kicked

When you guys are having these issues, what exactly is happening? Are you getting kicked out of the game (app) completely? Are you getting dropped back to Connecting/Disconnected (or what screen)?

I don't see anything in the error logs leading me to believe it isn't force-closing, which makes it a bit tougher to track down... Any help is greatly appreciated

ok i am playing and ..... stuck cant move like he moves then goes back to the same place back out of the map then back in and then it stays stuck at the syncronizing screen back all the way to home stop the app go back in 45 secs and it does it again

With the new update it is very choppy. I have been disconnected which is it not a new thing happening but usually only happened during peak hours on 3G between 7pm cst - 10pm cst.

Taking into account phone network connection type.
Prior to update I think the most common issues to lag were two things.

1. Walls/Objects - Getting stuck on them with characters the weaker the connection the easier to happen. There are two types of situations where you stick to walls
. a. Temporary- synch issue I believe where you get stuck and are returned seconds later.
b. Permanent- You actually get stuck on a wall or object when this happens the only way to get out is by using a skill or exiting game. Using items or tapping screen has no effect in regards to getting out of being stuck.
You can pass flags through walls return them through walls. You can also move your character through a wall completely.

2. Synchronization - If you are WiFi the synchronization is more accurate however on 3G its not even close. Anywhere from .5-3 seconds differences with 3 being severe. Anytime you are moving your not actually where it shows you. Anything you do that involves moving and arriving at a destination at the exact time you see it happening on the screen is impossible.

When you combine 1+2= the always complaining about lag. Any game you are in more than 10mins seems to deteriorate for the end user. Leaving and returning fixes this.

Yea its weird tho how inf lags bad if A full park is going. Ppl even get stuck and have to leave out of app. How is it phone issues and peak hrs wen I play mmorpgs that have thousands of players on at once with up to 50+ ppl on same map.. etc... and dont have lag issues, Freezing ,ANY DC OR FC issues like inf ? That's inf servers (or watever geeky term u wana use) not up to par Seriously peak hrs on inf are NO MORE THAN 50+ tops playing the game lol inf really can't hold 50+? WOW LOL shuld really put INF BETA back on the app Which is why I have found another game to keep me busy and play wen DBD practices =) hooray for free games!

Same as above. Ill be dancing around a table to try and avoid getting shot. On my screen Im on the complete other side of the table and then about 5 seconds later the screen jumps back to the table and im stuck in the wall. From there I am either stuck in the wall till I die or exit, able to get out and then its back to playing, or I get out but then my character starts spinning while the rest of the game seems flozen and then I spin off the screen and have to exit and return. Also Ive had a huge issue with items not working when I try and use them. As in Ill try to use a blink, but I dont go anywhere, then ill check my blink item and now my blink is on cooldown but I never got to use it. This will happen to any item. Hell yesterday I had the worst case of it when I tried to blink and nothing, tried to use large and medium meds and nothing, I panic and tried to stim and even stim failed! I almost rage quit right there.
My connection at the time was wifi with these specks that I logged: Download at 9928kbps, upload 4141kbps, ping 43ms. Usually at these levels of internet speed, I have little lag and no issues with getting stuck in walls or item fail. Now I lag about every 5 seconds, even while just running straight where my guy on screen is like three character lengths ahead of where the regenerate is showing or where the damage shows when I get hit, and every game ill get stuck or have items fail.

Suggests there might be a memory leak somewhere. I know going into the store and coming back tends to also improve lag.
