Battlegrounds (iOS) – Long animation delays and no Reduce An

Multiplayer Discussion

Hi,

I’m a regular Battlegrounds player on my iPhone 14 (latest iOS), and I’ve been facing a recurring issue with the slow response time in the game, especially related to card animations and triggered effects.

Whenever I buy or play a minion, the animations take a long time to resolve. This becomes especially frustrating in the late game when multiple interactions stack up, and it eats up a significant portion of my turn time, affecting gameplay flow and decision-making.

I know that there’s a “Reduce animations” setting on PC, but unfortunately this option is not available on iOS. It would be extremely helpful to have:
• either the “Reduce animations” option available in the mobile version,
• or an automatic fast-mode for animations/effects, especially during the shop phase.

Please consider this feedback — many mobile players are facing this issue, and a small settings change could significantly improve the overall experience.

Thanks for your time,
Eyden.

Primarily play on PC and we do not have such a setting, we have the exact same options +Resolution, Fullscreen and Quality (Quality only effects looks, it doesn’t disable any animations)

BUT I and many others would love the option to enable the buy phase of the game, I regularly end up with 6-24 gold and a full hand when the rope burns out, ALT + F4 right as combat starts is sometimes my only option as it will skip the majority of combat.
(do not press quit game as that will count as surrendering)

On top of that playing Seafood Stew can take multiple seconds if played on Murkbrine Expeditioner, your entire turn can be just playing your seafoods and waiting for the animations to stop, I once rushed 9 Seafoods with 2 seconds of rope left and I had to wait forever, my duo was almost done with combat while I only just started it.
(used alt+f4 and I still only had 30 seconds to play)
