steste Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Yestarday I played 2 hours and my battery moved from 100% to 16%. Thing that never happened with fmt20 or with other application. Am I alone in this case? Playing on ipad pro 2018. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartMurray Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I noticed that yesterday, but I was at 10% and went to 5% in minutes. So didn’t think much of it. Usually would take 20 or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Dunning Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi @steste & @StuartMurray, Thanks for raising this is an issue and thankyou for providing your device @steste - could i ask which device you are using @StuartMurray? this will now be reviewed by our dev team.

doc32 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just to chime in on this, I am on iPad Air 4, and I seem to be getting around 5 hours of gameplay with full battery. I am new to this, so I am not quite sure what to expect from battery life when it comes to gaming, but essentially it drains twice as fast compared to other tasks.

minotauri Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 my iPad Mini 5 is also draining much faster than on last year's game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMT has always used more battery than other apps (which I would expect), but this years seems to be more extreme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steam just is Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The battery on my iPad Pro 2020 seems fine under FMT21. I’m really concerned that the undoubted quality of the new game will be compromised to account for weaker batteries. Perhaps (and I don’t want to use this word) a tiered system will work best. So higher spec tablets get full graphics etc. Those with older machines, can choose a less intensive ME/ graphics? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also using an iPad Pro 2020 (11”) with FMT21 and having a completely different experience when it comes to battery drain. I posted about it yesterday here: https://community.sigames.com/topic/542492-extreme-battery-drain/ Does your device get extremely hot when viewing matches in 3D? Have you checked how many % your battery drains during a match? Weird to see such a different behaviour on the same device. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heats a little but nothing close to excessive and battery drain slightly higher than last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartMurray Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Been playing for 2 hours and lost 9%. Pretty good I’d say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
João14 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I second the issue with the heating with the 3D games. Lost like 15% on one match and couldn’t hold the device at the end because it was so hot. Are you still reviewing this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridge73 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 iPad Pro 2017 or 18 and I have had battery draining problems in FM20 too. The game basically sucks up the battery and I keep the lights extremely low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

João14 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) @Neil Brock@Harrison Modeste Are we going to have updates to this issue here? Losing 10-15% a match is not a good metric. Loaded up FMT20 to compare and lose about 3% a match. This also cause the iPad to be extremely hot for no reason. Which is harming my battery status in the long run. iPad Pro 2018 11’. Please tell us something Edited January 11, 2021 by João14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Dunning Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi Guys, Thanks for contacting us and apologies on the delay here. This is something we are reviewing and are looking to iron out for a future update - thanks for all the info here as its very helpful and apologies for the inconvenience caused.

João14 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Thanks @Harry Dunning and sorry for the multiple tags. It was just frustrating having no response. Now we wait for a patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Dunning Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi @João14, No worries - i will add that we have added quite a lot of extra elements to the game this year so some extra battery drain is to be expected - but as ive said above we are reviewing the situation with this on all iOS devices. Cheers, Harry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
João14 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 @Harry Dunning I know that as a developer myself, but even though i get that we could have a bit some extra battery drain this year due to extra features, I find it odd that it occurs only on matches. 3D or 2D or Text Only. Other than that the game is perfectly fine and normal. And i would say the device running super hot may be a bit more worrying since I don't use a cover when playing, just the device and holding it while on a match is very uncomfortable . Thanks though, this should be enough until we get another update. It's reassuring to know you're still dealing with this and was not forgotten.
