How many PVP loses due to crashes

I thought it would be interesting to see how many PvP losses people had due to crashes during this tournament.
I have had 17 over the last 4 days

    I have a 170 game winning streak right now, so none here.

    I've had about 7 cases of either program updates between the diamond safe opening, and sending data to GLU; or from running out of the playing field, or not being able to move from behind a server rack. But that's an all time record.

    So, yours are actual program shut downs, or freezing? Does it just knock you out of the game, or lock up your device? Sounds like maybe a re-install is in order? That would drive me nuts, and to the point of quiting.

    I used to experience freezes and crashes. When I would re-launch the game I would notice all types of anomalies ... lost match, win streak reset to zero, diamonds depleted, etc.

    I have found that if I stop after 10 matches (max) and shut down game completely, clear the cache and free up some memory, then launch the game again, the freezes and crashes are minimal.

    I also suspect that if you happen to start a match while someone is attacking your base, the game will freeze and I'll notice when starting the game again that I've lost a base defense.

    I hope this helps a bit. It's not 100% but your in game freezes and crashes should noticeably drop.

    I am using a note 4 with not much else installed. So if memory is a problem I am not sure what else to do I have over 2 gb free. I used to be able to get about 75 matches in before a crash now I can't get 15.
    The crash turns the screen blank and in about a minute android cleans itself up and goes back to the home screen. It doesn't even matter if I reboot. I had it happen twice in a row after two reboots. It tends to crash before the match finishes loading but this weekend it has crashed a couple times just after the match started but before I start shooting. I just made the silver league Sunday night and usually I am there much earlier than this.

    Just to vent. I am currently stuck trying to get the last piece of intel on WOF because it always crashes when I start any of the campaign events that are left. This all started(got worse) after the android 5.0 upgrade.

    I use a google nexus 7 and have stayed on Android 4.4.4 for stability. I noticed that 5.0 was quickly followed by 5.01, 5.02 and 5.1 in just a couple of months. Rumor has it that 5.0 was full of bugs. Not sure if that's your problem or not, Note 4 is a solid phone so I doubt if it's a hardware issue.

    I'll echo the Lollipop issue (also nexus 7)! I lost a bunch of game data of other apps going back to 4.4.4, but the device is faster and much more stable. If I try the latest release again, I'll be sure to do a full backup before I do.

    With 5.01, I had to shutdown every other app I could to play CKS, and still the game had graphic hiccups, and poor response. The bootup seemed to take twice as long as well.

    To scratch this inch that's be nagging at me for awhile now, I decided to install CKS on another Android device and login with the same account I originally used on the original device. Good grief Charlie Brown ... everything came back, weapons, progress, diamonds, etc. I even tried switching my drone and went back to original device and whatta you know ... drone selection was correct.

    Caveats ... you can't be logged into same account on multiple devices, Glu will fail the login so make sure you've logged out of the old device first (I completely shut it off to be on safe side). Be sure you've got apps and data sync setup properly with Google Play Services. I would try this with a less critical game or app before attempting this with CKS. It would appear that although CKS saves all of it's data locally, Google WILL back it up periodically. BEWARE there may be a lag between syncs, so I would definitely give it a couple of hours to sync ... but it appears that nothing at all has been lost.

    Kudos
