I believe that many friends who choose Pixel phones should have seen the notification of the new system update, and they should be quite willing to click the upgrade button (at least I think this is one of the important reasons for buying this phone). But coming to Android 12, if you are the intersection of “like to try new system features” + “mobile game enthusiast” at the same time. So recently, you may have a good chance of encountering a completely confusing game crash situation. Continue reading Android 12: Playing games often crashes and restarts for no apparent reason?

Android 12 games often crash and restart inexplicably? This is probably caused by Material You (eh)
For players who like to play games on their mobile phones, the biggest problem should be that the system suddenly crashes while they are happily playing. Coming to Android 12, some people discovered that when playing most games, they would encounter the problem of game restarting for no reason. Fortunately, someone has found the core cause of the problem – automatic tablecloth changing.

In fact, there are two triggers for this problem, but the most critical reason is that the automatic tablecloth changing function is turned on. Another necessary condition is Android 12, which will automatically adapt to the wallpaper color and change the system interface color system. Material You function. Because of this, this feature, which is still exclusive to Google’s own mobile phones, has caused Pixel phones to become the focus of this wave of models encountering this bug.

To simply understand this problem, you can think of the program that triggers the Material You function after automatically changing the wallpaper as the same situation as switching “dark/light” – the system will undergo substantial changes. The difference is that when most people switch to dark mode, they usually do it manually in the settings (even if there is a schedule, the number of times is not too high). However, Material You’s automatic wallpaper change makes it relatively easy to encounter background switching when using it in games and other situations.
That is to say, since this bug can be logged in the Google Issue Tracker, it means that it has been confirmed. Therefore, the probability of being corrected through updates soon should be very high. As for Pixel users who are currently suffering from this inexplicable crash problem, it is recommended to temporarily turn off the automatic wallpaper changing function, which should prevent similar problems from happening again (fingers crossed).
