Having serious issues with CODM (Call of Duty Mobile) regularly crashing during gameplay since switching from my S21U. Never had this before in the four previous years of playing with my old device..
I'll be in game and it'll sporadically freeze for 4-5 seconds before crashing back to the phones home screen. Doesn't matter if I'm playing on battery or charge, including trying with a MagSafe fan attached for additional cooling. There's no rhyme or reason for when this happens, I could be playing for 10-15 minutes and have it crash, I could play for an hour and it be fine. Sometimes it'll even crash several times over in these periods.
Game is running at low/medium graphics and ultra frame rate.
So far I've tried the following;
- Adjusted Game Booster between Performance and Balanced mode.
- Used external cooling fan (as per above).
- Cleared game's cache and restarted device.
- Wiped cache partition in recovery.
- Cleared Play Store's data and cache.
- Cleared Game Boosters cache (not data)
- Cleared Android System Webview cache and data.
Game (and all apps) were installed fresh, with all data redownloaded. Only restored messages, photos/videos, and wifi/bluetooth networks via Smart Switch.
Had to side load Thermal Guardian to view temperatures, and while the device does get warm everything is below the second hottest emoji and at most half way above the mid-way marker.
Battery Protection is on and set to Maximum (20%-80%) if that's of any relevance.
Has nothing to do with network connectivity.
Curious if anyone else has experienced similar issues gaming, specifically with CODM? Big part of upgrading was for better performance while playing.
