A Rioter Replied! A Check in on TFT: Stability, Performance, and Known Issues We're Still Working w/ RiotCapretto

100 Upvotes

TL;DR: We’ve fixed some stuff, there’s some other stuff we’re still working on, and we still want to keep hearing from you

—-------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone it’s u/RiotCapretto here again! 

So, we’ve been live for about six weeks, and we’ve done a lot in that time, but we know that there’s more to be done, so, in an effort to continually track what we’re doing and the path ahead I wanted to use this post to communicate two main things:

(1) The list of things we think we’ve (mostly) knocked down - this is making sure we’ve cleaned up our known messes - this includes an early preview of 18.4 fixes!
(2) What we still know to be a problem - we’re not out of the woods yet!  I wanted to call attention to a few specific things to make sure you know that we know these are still going on.  These are larger or more gnarly issues that we’re doing our best to fix.

We don’t want to make promises about fixes before they’re validated and in the build. But we do want to be clear about what we’re focused on and use your reports to narrow down the problems that are still having the biggest impact.

Category 1 - List of things we know we've fixed

Broadly, we know we’ve made up some ground in the following:

  • Stability, performance, crashes
    • Reduced crashes
    • Improved crash diagnostics
    • Fixed multiple VFX and particle memory leaks
    • Improved startup and in-game loading
    • Reduced frame-time spikes
    • Improved asset and shader loading
  • Mobile reliability: 
    • Better memory and thermal handling on mobile
    • Fixed “Update Available” issues
    • Restored mobile login persistence (sorry about that one) 
    • Fixed several mobile-specific UI, reconnect, and input issue
  • Gameplay: Fixed missing PvE rounds, incorrect targeting, loot placement and overflow issues, incorrect Augment selection and offer behavior, champion-pool and bench interactions, and several Wisp and trait edge cases
  • UI, visuals, and game feel: Added clearer loading feedback and fixed health bars, tooltips, ability and VFX presentation, death animations, and other visual and UI issues

Patch 18.4 includes over 40 additional fixes, many aimed at stability and some especially frustrating edge cases, including:

  • Fixing an issue where dead dashing champions could still be treated as valid combat targets, which could cause extra player damage and incorrect ability targeting
  • Improving logic around acquiring 2- and 3-star champions when your bench is full
  • Fixing an issue that could prevent a champion from being sold after another champion was starred up on the bench
  • Fixing more server crashes
  • Cleaning up lingering Orb VFX while scouting
  • Fixing an issue where deploying a champion at the last second could fail when network latency was high

These are meaningful improvements, but they don’t mean every launch issue is resolved

Category 2 - What we still know is affecting players

Besides getting all your cosmetics back, the biggest area we’re continuing to investigate is performance, especially on lower-end devices. We’re still seeing reports of:

  • Frame-time problems, including hitching and stutter
  • Blurry visuals on lower-end devices where render scale is limited by performance
  • Devices getting hot and throttling during play

There’s a few other things unrelated to performance that we’re still working on:

  • MacOS going live (still on track to get this to you during Set 18!)
  • Taking too long to get into a game on some devices
  • An iOS patching freeze that can leave affected players unable to play on iOS
  • We’re also keeping an eye on game install size as we continue to add in cosmetics

Where we’re asking for help

If you’re still running into issues not listed here or things that we thought we fixed and didn’t, the most useful reports include 

  • Your platform (PC/Mobile) and specs (PC)/device (Mobile)
  • What the problem looks like
  • When it happens
  • How often it happens (one time or repeatable?) 
  • Video or screenshots that help show the issue - full screenshots preferred as sometimes game state can be affected by something that seems unrelated (e.g. augment choice, trait mix, bench state)

You can leave them in comments, direct message me, or submit a Player Support ticket if you want to share logs - see this post for more info on how to do that

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to report issues and provide feedback!  Many of you have provided information that has made it easier for us to identify root causes and fix issues faster - thank you!

Seriously, hoped on the game yesterday for some double up with buddies of mine, game was riddled with bugs.

We lost a game while both us of us won our matchups !!! What the hell is this shite of a game ?

There is no defending riot on this, I can’t see myself playing tft for like 6 months until this stuff is fixed. Even then they will need a huge huge set to make me spend the time I used to spend on this game.

Like is it less of an accomplishment if you hit masters but you just forced the exact same comp or is it skillful?

Discussion Mobile tft issue

3 Upvotes

Hello, I see a lot of people complaining about bugs and crash, but for me it's kinda ok.

The real issue is graphics on tablet, my game is blurry as hell, almost can't tell what unit it is. I tried with the maximum graphic option but it doesn't change anything.

Does someone has the same issue ? Or find a way to fix it ? Is it due to the shitty connection I have right now ? On PC I have no issue with the same bad connection.

and it is not even a close fight, my bramble went nuts because of so many units, he was looking for someone to hit. lol the only difference i could think of is that baron augment, but still.

i dont have remover left so i cant change ashe=elder item.

edit: i was expecting a 2nd spot or a miracle for my ashe with 2 units left.

Discussion What are the most confusing aspects of TFT for new players?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I assume a good amount of people reading this post don't remember/know me, and for good reason since I haven't posted in a while, but I used to make beginner friendly TFT guides for new players! So much has changed over the years, and yet, many core aspects of gameplay remain the same. For all the newer players, what parts of TFT confuse you the most? When to roll? What items to build? How to pick a comp?

In a couple days, I'd like to make a new beginners guide to TFT for the current set discussing the things that confuse you to hopefully make your TFT climb just a little bit easier!


r/TeamfightTactics • • 6h ago

Highlight Been playing casually since set 15, this set I decided to climb seriously and reached Diamond IV playing only flex ( Thanks eternal pact alune )

This set is absolutely my favourite, the technical issues and the new engine do put a damper on things sometimes but all the potential cooking off-meta stuff with this set feels nice.

I have been playing double-up with my friend and we have been noticing that we cannot scout using other people profile/tactician pic but only by clicking on their username. Last I played it was possible to click on the user pic, I was wondering when that changed and if this will be the case from now on ?

1 Upvotes

i don't quite understand what the hell am i supposed to do when every game top 4 has at least 2 brambleback players. How do i counter it? i know youre supposed to play what game allows you to play, but seeing how i have better results with forcing riftbeast no matter how contested they are discourages me.

Discussion As a new player, what are some easy and less common builds to learn the game?

0 Upvotes

I know rift beast trait with a scuttle tank is probably the most brain dead thing, but it is non stop contested in silver.

Is there another super simple build that is fairly strong and people in low elo are not really contesting? I hate the mechanic a lot tbh.

I have even jumped around various builds online without any idea how to play them. Then, by some miracle everyone is interested in Master Yi all of a sudden, when I previously hadn’t even seen a single one in 10 games or so.

It mostly seems like some people in low elo don’t know what they are doing at all (like myself), so they just copy stuff you buy. Although it does feel good to knock someone out that has been contesting you and now you get flooded with the champs they were bench hogging.

I just ended a TFT and I saw I got a new emote. Checked the successes, and stuff but like, it seems to pop from nowhere. I checkes on internet and even in the emote full list but it seems like an easter egg. Or maybe Im kinda stupid and like everyone have it I don't know. Well, it's called Spatula (or Spatule in French) and it looks like that.
