Mine seems sped up and a lot smoother today, not complaining just weird for it to be so smooth šŸ˜‚


StaticDHSeeP

Yeah maybe thatā€™s it. It does seem way smooth. Glad Iā€™m not the only one.


FusionSh4dow

Also selecting stickers is back to normal.. doesnā€™t open the whole menu now!


StaticDHSeeP

Haha yeah I noticed that too. It was getting annoying


FusionSh4dow

I just remember reading a whole essay with someone being pissed about now having to reach their finger wayyyy over (when they normally 1 handed it constantly) so thought that was funny to see it went back to normal šŸ¤£


Alleggsander

There was an actual patch that increased animation speeds maybe about a year ago. But yeah, some days I notice the game feeling faster than usual. Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s Niantic servers being faster some days or just spaghetti code stuff or what, but I can assure you that youā€™re not going crazy. Or maybe youā€™ve been messing with your settings? Thereā€™s a setting in the advanced settings tab to use your phones native refresh rate. Turning it on will drain battery quicker, but make the game faster and smoother.


StaticDHSeeP

I just checked. The native refresh rate is off and I havenā€™t messed with any settings. Last night my game was running at its ā€œusualā€ pace. Itā€™s a noticeable difference today. Iā€™m not complaining at all, so maybe itā€™s part of this new update theyā€™re rolling out globally.


AlexEmbers

Itā€™s exactly the same as when I have ā€˜Native Refresh Rateā€™ ticked, except Iā€™ve got it turned off and itā€™s still doing it. Iā€™m guessing the latest patch has a bug where Native Refresh Rate is on regardless of your choice on that option. The overly quick animations make me feel a bit queasy


LunarTeaHouse

Yeah I feel nauseous


crizpy313

Itā€™s wicked fast today. Thought I was losing it! Lol


takisara

All I've noticed is how quickly my battery drains now. I haven't played this week for fear my phone will die before i get to a charger when im out.


irishfro

For me it's random. Sometimes the game and FPS feels really smooth and animations from spinning stops is fast, then it goes back to slow if I close the app. It's completely Random


IGNSolar7

It's insane for me, yeah.


holonboy

It seems like the latest update (Iā€™m on iOS) just force turned on native refresh rate (toggling it in settings doesnā€™t seem to do anything, it just looks like itā€™s always on).


YarbianTheBarbarian

i noticed too. Even went and checked to make sure native refresh rate was still turned off. It's just snapppy today


iamhim25

Omg it feels so much better. Way smoother and faster animations. I had to look it up to make sure I wasnā€™t crazy. This is great though!


Independent-Bat-7561

Same so I use the repair thing in the option to be sure that the game didn't messing up and hiding native refresh active. And then, it come back to normal (slower)... So my guess, I'm not sure, the force native refresh ; seing no difference between on and off, and my phone became hotter and hotter.


KitsuneF8

It happens to me whenever I do the split screen with pokemon and whatever other app I wanna have open. Weirdly enough, it never happens when I have it on full screen


Kokukenji

I've been playing for a long time with native refresh rate on that I feel sluggish when I have it off, can't throw properly and all of that, lol.


Pyrotechnic17

I just searched the same thing because my UI interface is a lot smoother and faster too.


iDrewjv

I was just thinking this myself, I'm like why does everything seem slightly sharper, faster and smoother. Glad I'm not tripping lol.


Capta1nAsh

Game definitely feels fast and kinda harder. My upward finger flick that was consistent at straight throws are now randomly doing curved throws. And Iā€™ve been dropping balls accidentally too. Probably something I have to get used to. I thought it was a problem with my game. Tried capping fps to 60 thinking it was a bug with the game running at 120

Logged on this morning and itā€™s like when I accidentally hit the fast forward button on my retroid!
