Redeem codes: enter a gift code in the Manager screen to claim crystals or golden keys — no sign-in needed. Plus: new loading splash with the new icon, trivia bot now fires exactly on the hour and half-hour with 360+ questions, and old trivia messages clear out so real chat never gets buried.

- New app icon and loading splash screen - Trivia questions now land right on the hour and half-hour, and old trivia messages clear out so chat stays readable

The match view comes alive: agents are now animated soldiers — walk cycles, weapon-carry idles, visible deaths with lingering bodies, and their bought weapon as a separate layer with recoil. Chat upgrades: opens at the newest message, a live preview of the last messages right in the chat bar, and a stray display bug fixed. Rivals now keep pace with mid-season power surges, trivia bot asks every 30 minutes with 360+ questions, and clans can be found with search + apply. Plus: UI sound pack, activity hero cards, and fixes for the loading screen.

Global chat is live: talk to every signed-in manager from the bar at the bottom of every screen — emoji, one-tap translate, and message reporting with real human moderation. Plus smoother live matches and the upgraded scrollable emoji picker.

Fixed battle sound effects lingering into the next round -- gunfire crackle scheduled near the end of a round could keep playing for a beat after the round actually ended.

Fixed a rare freeze where a live match's round counter and fighters would stop updating mid-round. A single bad render can no longer blank the whole match view.

Fixed income upgrade cards showing a flat "+$X/s" that never changed no matter how strong your team or league already was. They now show the real $/s you'll actually gain at the next level, same as power upgrades already did Fixed backup failing on a slow connection: the request had an 8-second timeout meant for small API calls, but a well-used save can now be over 1MB — not enough time to upload on a weak connection. Backup/restore now get 30 seconds. Also fixed the earlier "sign in again?" message showing up for this too — it now correctly says the connection was too slow Fixed backup showing "sign in again?" when the real problem was your save being too large for the old server-side limit (256KB) — a well-used account's save data legitimately outgrows that fast. Server limit raised to 2MB, and the error message now tells you what actually went wrong instead of pointing at sign-in Cloud save no longer needs Google to ask you to sign in over and over: after signing in once, the app now stays signed in for 30 days without touching Google again for anything — same approach already used on iOS Backup itself moved off Google Drive onto our own server — Android and iOS now share one save system

Live scrims keep getting better: the play-by-play now narrates YOUR buy and tactic calls, defuses show their progress indicator and sound, and used grenades vanish from your agent's loadout. Boot is quieter too — the intro video plays at most once a day and sign-in asks at most once per launch. Plus: rankings now show true power everywhere.
