After 2.1.029783 update my iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 16.5) runs really hot just couple minutes after opening PQ3 even if I just hang at the tavern. This wasn’t the case before 2.1 was released. Could you please fix this?

I’ve noticed it’s draining my battery quickly, which is probably what’s causing the phone to get hot.

I love the new loading animation in version 2.1, but would like it removed if it’s draining my battery.

Agreed, came here and finally registered an account to say this. Game is running so hot I noticed it just from the heat alone, but it’s also draining my battery crazy fast now. This is new since the last update.

I’m going to add to this. I’m on android 13.

In the past, in the evening I would leave my phone plugged in to my computer via a standard USB cable and run autoplay battles whilst reading the news, etc on my computer. In this case the battery % would remain pretty much the same. Recently though I have noticed it now it drains at several % per hour.  
Not sure if it started with the very latest update or the one several weeks ago.

And every in game setting is to conserve battery.

To add one more thing, I switched today to playing while plugged in so that the phone could recharge, and it also agrees that it’s overheating. 🙂 For the record I’m inside, A/C in full effect, it’s otherwise not hot…

(apparently can’t upload images… ok) –

**Charging On Hold**  
Charging will resume when  
iPhone returns to normal  
temperature.

Same on Android. Never had this issue before in all time while being with the game. And yes, not every new graphical idea may be a good one so please check for the cause asap and remove it. Thanks!

Hi all, sorry this issue is still occuring.

Could I get you all to check your in game settings and see if you get the issue with 30FPS or variable FPS set under display settings?

This will help us narrow down the cause.

I’m using ps5 to play p.q.3 and my playstation is over heating when l play p.q.3 , never had problems with other games. I can play final fantasy 16 for 4 hours without problems.  
Playing puzzle quest 3 gives a “getting hot” message within 30 minutes.

Spending a lot of time in airports lately, I actually can’t play this game while traveling any more unless I’ve got power on hand. It destroys the battery so fast, my ability to keep track of boarding passes/etc is imperiled. 😉
