Far too many crashes lately. I second this. Also why when I cast a beacon, even when fully powered it says unpowered in my structure tab and I can't jump to it from cloudview or my structure list w/o closing out of ap?

The game resets have become a ridiculous problem. About 50% of the time I cast a beacon in a battle, my game resets. About 75% of the time I pot a beacon in a battle, my game resets (and sometimes resets *twice*). No crash log is generated because the game only resets, it doesn't crash. But this makes initiating battles very difficult. It's a fairly recent problem, please fix it!

Oddly, it seems to happen to me primarily when I destroy beacons in a battle.

We know lag issues and crashes can be frustrating, and we work to make improvements with each update. It helps us greatly to review crash logs, so please do send them whenever they occur so our programming team can better determine the specific cause. The link below will provide detailed instructions on how to locate and send your crash files:

It would be better suited to delete the app if you're bothered enough by it to take this little stance.
For every action you take, plenty of others are taking the opposite. I'm not sure GA are worried about your loss of custom, to be quite frank.

I think it's more than simple frustration for the Architects who are outnumbered in so many battlegroups: it completely changes the balance of the game when in the middle of a war, and full-health beacons are suddenly gone and show no signs of being hit with War Chant, etc. The game tends to lose all sense of skill and nuance, and simply becomes a matter of who has the larger zerg rush offensive.
Folant, your disparagement neglects to recognize that people really enjoy certain aspects of this game, but have found that, for whatever reason, recent gameplay is SEVERELY diminished as a result of resets/crashes/lagging. It's not exactly reasonable to simply walk away from everything in life that doesn't meet every expectation.
However, I think many of us who are frustrated have only a certain amount of reserves of caring to spend before, yes, deleting the app becomes the only choice. There's still fun to be had, but it's been diminished by the technical problems.
