Able to run it doesn't mean it's PLAYABLE!

Able to run it doesn't mean it's PLAYABLE!

Warzone mobile has so many issues since beta and early access. And I wouldn't say they fixed it! It's just... Patched, with duct tape. You'll see what I mean
TapTap
Immediately the most notorious of all: Graphics. Or more like, the performance issue caused by the graphics. Back then the graphics is so relying on expensive effects of shaders and post processing that the internal resolution got impacted so severely, the game became "blurry". TAA does help making the visual softer and realistic, but the temporal artifact and the blurriness of the game just became lot worse.
So, did they make the game more accessible? Did they finally include a graphic setting this time? The answer is: NO, YES, NO, Kinda YES
1. They added graphics settings with 2 options: Minimal, Low, Medium, High, and Peak. "Bro can't count, he literally just said 5 options"
TapTap
Yeah. I'm not kidding you. My device (snapdragon 870) can't use minimal graphics. It's just not supported. I can only play at least medium.
"Whoa Whaaat?" Yeah argue what you like, my theory is that this is done so no one can achieve 120fps and have huge advantage over those with lower end devices. Yes you can uncapped the fps, but with High settings? It's basically a scam!
What was the difference between the graphics, you asked? Well Minimum based on my friends phone, is... Uh, PS2. Low is kinda HD mid PUBG but blurry mess. And Mid, is a different story. My friend with SD 845 on mid got blurry graphics, like basically same as beta. While me Mid feels somewhat much sharper than High. Why? Well I think this is because to achieve minimum set fps, they make sure to lower the render resolution as low as it needs. So based on your device the game will appear either very blurry, or just blurry.
2. Insane graphics
I still should give them credits for porting the entire graphics there is on PC to mobile. Everything is here. Soft shadows, motion blur, global Illumination, high res textures, fog, volumetric smoke, grasses, exposure adjustments, bloom, chromatic aberration, SS reflections, dof, and I think I don't need to list all. The point is they are HEAVY and that's a reason we don't find that often in mobile.
3. Either your phone burns, or your battery died quickly. Or both, probably both anyway
I tried to play it at recommend settings alright. 60fps, high. And while my phone can maintain 60fps on most places except the main city, it heats up to 50° before finally settling in being throttled consistently. Yes, My phone is aging, that's true. But try saying that to those who spend $200-300 on Helio G99 and ends up can't even run the game at all.
So what can you do? External cooling? Yeah true they worked well here but I'm not gonna take out a fan and fiddle with it everytime I want to play a "mobile" game! And either way "Battery Saver" mode is here to save you!
Or not..., while it does reduce battery usage by 30% on my testing, and my phone doesn't heat up much (only around 42° and not throttled), the game runs 25fps regardless of your setting. 25FPS on a competitive shooting! Even your mom agrees the game runs like potato.
TapTap
Gunplay is why I'm so interested on Warzone. I pitch all these to my friends to finally able to play the game with someone (We didn't ended up playing much at all... Because... It just not playable for most). But the gunplay is so good. It's the best gun and sound feeling I've ever had on mobile. Wait, I mean, aside Arena Breakout yeah. But you can't just run around and gun down one-man-army style there. So that's why you gonna try Warzone mobile.
TapTap
There are many maps in this game as of launch. I think it's 1, battle royale map. The rest is multiplayer oriented gameplay. Which I think is progressing towards porting all gameplay the PC has onto mobile. Thing is, we already have CODM that doesn't cook your hand playing it, with very sharp graphics too. So people enjoy CODM better in terms of multiplayer.
So we care only on battle royale in Warzone here. It's the best battle royale? No. But is it better than CODM battle royale? Definitely yes!
Oh also don't get confused with "mobile" or "PC" skins. They put small sticker on each item for you to know if something is cross-obtained or just for mobile only. Yeah the cross progression is nice. I mean at least they copy your gun attachments and skins and all. Very sick feature without needing to combat against $2000 PC, 1000fps, 2400dpi mouse with 10x bigger screen than ours (I meant cross-play, they don't have it, which is a good thing).
Conclusion:
Unplayable. But if you still want to I guess play it anyway. I mean I'll continue playing it because my laptop can't handle Warzone. My phone is my only hope now.

As an update, the game require EXTREME GPU performance. using Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 finally the game feels smooth, without any stuttering, without any memory issue, the image looks sharp and nice, and the graphics settings DO changes something.

I actually have a theory on how to do this. but it involving some level of technicality and the phone has to be rooted. The idea is to spoof the device / device component so it's read as something lesser. such as Xiaomi POCO M5 that I know still run but absolute trash, because it only unlocks Min graphics. The spoofing is done and HW app got fooled. But the problem was, since Warzone use anti-root, I have to hide the root from warzone, therefore causing the spoofing to not be applied on Warzone. right now I'm stuck. if I let warzone know I'm rooted the game doesn't run. but if root is hidden from warzone I can't spoof my device (I meant warzone won't be affected by the spoof). so yeah so far I can't get Min on my phone

Dude, I love you make your complaints entertaining and engaging. I dont usually finish articles but your writing is so catchy its like I'm talking to my buddies who runts over something. It makes you listen, compare and then vonvlude. wahahahaha. Great work buddy! anyways. I totally agree on all the points here. my phone is Poco F4 GT 5G gaming phone, even this cant keep up how CoDWM. I tried disabling my Battery Optimizer hoping to mske the game lag free. not working. ( btw 100% - 70% the game is playable with minimum Gpu with max Fps. but still looks bad. ) porting everything there is on their pc version into mobile is like, 11 ft Black Buff Dude dating 4.5 cute little Asian. 😂

Activision....... what the hell?!
Warzone mobile just released and a lot of players are already fuming! Apparently the game runs and looks like crap, with many unrendered assets, bugs and glitches being present on High end and mid range phones/devices. Iphone users aren't safe either because A lot of IOS players in our discord were also NOT HAPPY. To sum it up, The game is not very well "Optimized" yet, with some high end device models not being unsupported graphically. The game states that the longer you play, the better the game'll feel, but a large majority of players disagree. The issue is now sparking a lot of memes all over the internet, with some frying an egg on top of their devices and others literally sharing a picture of their phone exploding.

The game is still not optimized well for mid range devices FPS is not stable its all over the place it needs to be locked and the game needs an FPS METER BUILT IN THE GAME so we can monitor performance I can go on but they should take this information serious and they should release the and not delay the game any more and work more on the game after it releases PLUS the Hud on screen should changed LIKE ON console screen when controller is been used  so the screen is not Clustered and full.  Fortnite mobile does THIS. SO warzone mobile should too it will allow use to get more information when playing ON CONTROLLER

What's happening to warzone mobile??
Hello everybody, after months I'm here again with another post. Those who remember my last post I have said that game will support more GPUs such as adreno 610, and yes after 2 years of work game had bad global launch, cuz of optimization and bad graphics, but devs are trying their best ( after 2 years waste of time actually ) to fix the problems and one of them was fixing unsupported GPU error, and they have fixed it and game's is playable with adreno 610 don't know about lower, game is not that smooth on my device note 11, but it's getting better more and more I play, not too much heat or battery losing and of course no crash during playing, my friend playing on note 12 which also has adreno 610 gpu playing the game a little smoother than mine, but the more I have played warzone mobile it got better not too much good but playable most of the time, and they're sending little updates more and more for most devices to keep the game smooth and it's actually getting better on some devices and the score on Google play raised from 1.6 to 2.0, keep up with the game guys if your device is overheating or losing battery too much try play on min graphic which doesn't have much difference to low graphic. Try your idea here and write your device spec and tell me and others how good was game the first time you play and how it changed after playing matches ( fps got better or graphics got better or nothing ) write down here and tell me about it
