I don't have wifi as I travel a lot so cellular was the only way to play. I've played for well over two years and have never had an issue.
Noticed roughly the same usage as last user that posted (own). Have played 2+ years without a problem. However with ridiculous energy requirements, more event than ever, no breaks in the action it seems as though the data usage could be the last straw for me. Gree's lack of self-awareness is astounding
I ran a check today (through data log) and the MW app uses 1mb every 2-3 secs.
Any update Jerle.
Me to, pretty much done with the game :(
MODS: is there any fix in sight?
I just looked at my data consumption and i only consumed 30mb atm, my phone only have 100mb allowed daily and MW is not eating up much data,. Maybe a US problem?
only wd times, always use with gm and 750 mb min.
Hey Guys,
My MW data usage for this month is currently at 542MB - this doesn't include data across the Wi-Fi network. It's far and above my next app. I'm mostly a turtle in this game - I just log in to collect 12/24/48 buildings and participate in faction events.
First time in 6 years that i go over my data Usage! Not a happy camper...
Will you be updating us at all? It has been 4 days.Quote:

This is more like the...the freaking app has gone wild....can't afford to keep Modern War on my device anymore.....stop playing altogether type of issue. It's killing my data usage even if I'm not playing it and the iPad is in sleep mode. I can choose to or not to buy gold with you, but this is costing me money without my consent.
What is going on???
Good luck with Raiding then or loading new NPC's! I have 1500 MB a month in the first week its Used! 64KB connection won't do! MW works with it, But KA NEVER DID.Quote:

I am looking for a Provider that will give me less Minutes to call, but more data a month! to start with 4GB a month
instead of 220 Minutes and only 1,5GB data! Who knows a good Sim-only provider with this?
Prefer Europian Sim-card!
Hows them crickets? Its not even the weekend.
I warned my faction mates about this a week ago. I now have a bill for 18G of data. I spend a little bit of money on this game from time to time , that is when I choose to. I certainly don't need a bill like that one again for a stupid phone game. I don't ever remember getting data usage surcharge like that even when I download movies or music etc.
Seriously mods can we get a definitive answer on this please. ...and don't fob us off as we are able to see which apps are using bandwidth and I can assure you its is modern war. .......
Thanks in anticipation
bump. A real issue... my carrier is threatening to boot me off my (grandfathered unlimited data) plan or slow my data speeds down b/c MW.
Gree do we have an update for this issue????
Does turning off "PARTICLE EFFECTS" and "PARALLAX FX" make a difference? I'm lucky to be in a wifi area most of the time. (1.9 GB cell data since 5/4)
Mine are never on yet I'm using huge amounts of data. Good idea but don't think is issueQuote:

Hey guys, here is what we need: send a ticket to Support through the normal system, attach a screenshot showing your data usage for the app (specifically for MW). We need some hard numbers for this one.
lol that took 9 days and 7 pages?
CJ..sent. Just reset my counters yesterday to see if it was still doing it so not as high as the numbers have been....but out of 165mb of data used, 162 of it was all y'all.
You couldn't perhaps turn on an ipad and try it for yourself?Quote:

Gree,
How big are the data sets? When you load and remove load casts of characters, how big does that get?
The guys are reporting going over for about two months. What kind of extra chatter was put in to keep the client/server in synch? That wasn't there before?
And as Rex said, can you have you're guys try this? And run a monitor package? When loading data sets? Nod sets? During WD? FA? Raid boss events? Etc.
That would seem to make sense.

I don't think they get paid solving bugs though, just paid trying
I cleared my data statistics (Modern War was listed at over 7GB!) and then tracked data usage for a bit.
I raided people for about 10 minutes, closed the app, checked the data usage, and Modern War already used 8MB of data. That seems like a lot for such a short period of time, obviously at that rate it will use a ton of data over time if you use the app throughout the day.
I'm not sure why the devs can't do something similar to identify the activities that seem to result in the most data usage and then take a closer look at why.
There was a similar issue with one of their other games, Beyond the Dead, a while back, and they seemed to resolve it, perhaps this issue is similar.
Dude I run a mail server that sends over 1/2 mill emails per day it doesn't use 8.2Gb for DNS. You've got something seriously wrong there. manually add your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 208.67.222.222. That's googles DNS and OPENDNSQuote:

I have used 9 gigs this month. I can't do it anymore. Can't play over 3G till it's resolved. Wifi only for me
Just crickets!

Yeah I can't play on 3G, and if I can't play I can't keep up.
Same here, my data usage increased a lot recently. Someone pls check on it........
Doesn't Apple have standards for how an app is supposed to impact the device and the user? Do we lodge complaints with Apple since we aren't getting any resolution here?
So once again, when gree says "we'll check this out" or "we're working on it", it really means- this is going in the too hard bin and if we ignore them, they might go away.Quote:
