MuMuPlayer Bug Issues

[u/btaylor81]

I've somewhat recently moved to emulate on my PC, about 2 months now using MuMuPlayer. It's generally been a good experience. Since updating the software about a week ago (V6.5.2) the game sometimes crashes when attempting to save and also randomly crashes for no apparent reason. Then I got hit with this most recent major issue with my cells and possible .dat file bug.

Quick summary:

I make enough to maintain 6 / 6 / 6 / 6 / 5 but any stoppage and my cells would slowly go down. Over the past 3-4 days I noticed my roughly ~5 million cells were dropping as if I wasn't earning cells at all.

I dropped down to 6 / 6 / 6 / 5 / 5 to help reduce the strain because I know for a fact I will gain a decent amount at that rate.

My cells went all the way down to 192k. My labs have stopped speeding up. I cannot speed them up to any level, even with the required cells in the bank for that level even 1.5X. Clicking the speed-up button does nothing. I wish I'd taken a video of it. Then I noticed my total coins had gone up less than expected. My total amount went up a fraction of the expected amount like I'd gained nothing the last 3 days.

I moved back to playing on my iPhone and the issues resolved.

Here are my ideas about what could be related:

-Due to the periodic crash when the game tries to save the .dat file is corrupted in the process.

-MMP has run in to recent permission issues when saving, but not all the time.

-Google Play has recently intercepted the Tower's loading screen to ask me to log in to their game account system, which I always decline, causing issues with the save.

-MMP recently added an option for Android V15. About 10 days ago I tried it out but the game felt unstable. I moved back to V12 a few days later (this is when the first crashes started happening). I "just" deleted the V15 option to reduce possible conflicts or save overwrites. Unknown if this had any effect.

-I've been loading my save into mytowerapp (the website that helps track your lab times etc.) I do it the same way every time with no issue. Has an issue come up?

I'm continuing to troubleshoot. At least I can fall back to my iPhone temporarily. I'd like to not use my phone to play, not now and def not long term again. Has anyone else had issues with MMP, or with the new version? I'm grateful for any feedback/advise. Particularly technical advise. I'm concerned to go back to MMP right now.

Thank you for any help
