Issue: Some Android devices were misconfigured to use higher default settings than intended.
Fix: Adjusted default settings for Android devices.
Issue: Graphics took longer to load than expected, resulting in low fidelity graphics early in matches.

Graphics

Gameplay difficulty

Issue: More real players lead to more difficult games.
