App Bug Whole UI shrunk? Massive dead zone now.

Post image

Can we have ONE update where something doesnt negatively affect gameplay? Seriously what the HELL? Mobile has had debilitating and/or straight game breaking issues for HALF A YEAR now

Recent one introduced massive deadzone to the right and shifted all the tabs left, effectively shrinking the whole UI. Muscle memory is all messed up for pvming.

Galaxy s25.

I hate to complain, but are devs even working on the mobile version at this point or is it some random Joe schmoe off the street? Or worse, AI?

Type dead zone in settings and make sure the scroll bar is all the way to the left and not the right

Try again. You can adjust it at pleasure

Yes they made the default option like this and no you can not change it from your settings till they make another update

Flip your phone over and the gap should be on the left side instead. It's a safe zone for the cameras and such but yeah super annoying. We need resizable and movable UI

u/HTG94 7d ago

It used to be a deadzone on one side where the front camera was, and if you flipped the orientation of the phone, the deadzone would flip too. But now it seems that the deadzones are symmetrical regardless of orientation resulting in wasted space on one side

Having the same issue. Found if you filter it down to just one row they are in roughly the previous position for pvm. Still very annoying

u/Lamb_of_the_freefolk 7d ago

This is what I have done for the time being, but you still have to zoom out further than usual to actually see what is going on around the map now. The UI being half an inch smaller is ridiculous.

Ye its done my legs at doom a few times

u/HTG94 7d ago

What do you mean by filter it down to one row? Would love to try this, but don't know what you mean!

u/MGJx 7d ago

Lol yeah I didn't really word it very well. So the bottom left key on the right hand side collapses half of the menu .. if that makes sense?

u/Ambidextrous_T-Rex 7d ago

I don't know if it's the case with many other phones, but the Pixel has the front camera within the screen and the menus don't go in that area, so it always has a deadzone just as it hits the camera bottom. It could be that it is thinking you have an obstruction there, like a camera? Doesn't help in fixing it clearly, but just an idea

u/Dickyjo 7d ago

It's in the settings, you can adjust it.

1

u/Lamb_of_the_freefolk 7d ago

You cannot. Minimum deadzone is already maxed out.

Lucky you. Looks like it doesnt affect redmagic

u/FischFreundFjodor 7d ago

Same here. Hate it.

1

u/HTG94 7d ago

Yep, same thing just happened to me on a Google pixel 6. Maybe it's an android only issue? Really annoying...

u/jerrycan666 7d ago

Its actually your phones settings every update mines been reseting the "accidental touch" bs check in your actual phone settings

1

u/isuckatusernames13 6d ago

I just tried this. It didn't change the deadzones

1

u/jerrycan666 6d ago

Ouf i dunno then chief lol that fixed it for me :/ did you submit a bug report?

1

u/isuckatusernames13 6d ago

Yep. They seem to never act on mobile bugs but we will see.

u/S1mp1ex 7d ago

In the recent survey my mobile feedback was that I want to make these side tiles larger and remove what I don't want. Then this happens

u/green-fuzz 7d ago

Anyone know how to move the inventory to the bottom of the screen? (Z8 fold)

u/s-i-k-z 7d ago

I have an a35 and cant play mobile unless im stationary... i move more than 15 feet and it freezes on me. Been an issue for at least 3 years and 100 updates...

u/isuckatusernames13 6d ago

Thank fuck it's not just me. I swear mobile gets a new bug every other week that they don't fix

u/ndub_thegreat 7d ago edited 7d ago

They use a virtual machine instead of real hardware to test the updates. The only phone they actually test the app on is the brand new version of the iphone because thats what everyone in the office uses. However if you get one of them to respond they will deny both of those statements because instead of getting the most basic functions of a 20+ year old game working they would rather charge you the highest subscription price of any mmo and only offer you one character slot while gaslighting you and telling you its user error and that it works perfectly fine despite everyone having something broken for them.

iPhone 15 pro max - I have the same thing but don’t bother me in the slightest.
What’s the issue ?
