I am not enjoying ML now because the game runs slowly during fights, and some of my monsters are not even moving in the habitats, they are just frozen.

Is this something that has happened to everyone with the latest update, or does it just mean that there is something wrong with my iPad?

Regarding freezed monsters in habitat
i noticed that on my old device every habitat has 2 freezed and 2 moving
think sp made this to reduce the game load on device as the game has devices tier system
same game account on stronger device has all monster moving .
and i don't care either way if this will make game faster or more stale on my old device freeze them all

AS for game run slowly i didn't come against this one

I am not sure if this is the same as DC but they are doing something in DC where only a few of your dragons are animated to help with the sluggishness of older devices.

Well some monsters are frozen on my computer too (Memu Emulator). I'm pretty sure it can handle this game, so the problem is something else.

It looks like if you have 4 monsters in a habitat, one of them is standing still. It happens only if you have 4 monsters in a habitat (I have some lvl 3 legendary habitats and all of the monsters are moving in them).

Yep its only with my habitats with 4 Monsters in them, been about a week or so with it doing this

I used to have this problem with my iPhone 6. I upgraded to an iPhone 8 and now everything is smooth again.

Hi Clackers,

We reduced the animation of Monsters in habitats for older devices. A lot of players complained about game lags and to be honest if you have islands full of monsters it is quite heavy and the game is not running so smooth. I was actually quite surprised how many people play on old phones and tablets.

@Fox well my phone is one year old and the monsters are still frozen. Also on my computer (Memu Emulator) the monsters are still frozen (I'm pretty sure it can handle the game easily).
I don't mind it though, if it helps with performance, then go for it (it's also hilarious, 3 fire monsters with a Nemestrinus in a habitat and the Nemestrinus is so scared he can't move ).

@Fox a question, will this change reduce the large size of the cache which the game takes up??

@Nynaevelan No, it shouldn't. Have you experienced it?

No my devices are pretty recent so I do not experience the lag too much, though the large cache is my issue. I find it is easier to clear the cache for both ML and DC at least once a week, between the two they take up over 3 gbs if I let them linger too long.
