Common Clash Royale Problems & How to Fix Them

In this guide we go over a list of the most common Clash Royale problems and offer tips on how to fix them. With monthly updates and balance changes things are constantly changing, which occasionally causes problems. Especially after the summer updates or the latest December 2018 update and star levels.

Every month the developers at Supercell address problems, balance gameplay, or add new features. It’s a nice touch that keeps things fresh. Like the new Giant Goblin or Clan Wars. That said, constant updates can cause more harm than good. Which is exactly what we’re seeing lately.

Are you having problems playing Clash Royale? Some can’t watch replays or see the friends list, and others are constantly having WiFi drops. Even with a strong signal or sitting next to their router. Another big issue is quests aren’t working right or dropouts during Clan Wars. Personally, I keep getting stuck in 2v2 matching that I can’t fix by closing the game or even rebooting my phone.

WiFi Drops or Freezing

> 1 / 8

One of the biggest problems is WiFi crashing while playing Clash Royale. The worst feeling is being in the lead during a multiplayer battle, about to beat your opponent, and seeing the dreaded WiFi logo in the middle of the screen. Everything stops responding, and the next thing you know you got 3-crowned. Game over, you lost. Grrrr. This just happens from time to time. The way the game works is after a match is found, both players are added to a server to complete the battle. For whatever reason, WiFi or the connection occasionally fails. Often times it's only to one person, and not both. Although I've got a draw before and neither player is able to drop troops.  If you continue to experience WiFi drops over and over again, a few small things could remedy the situation. First up, physically close Clash Royale by using the multi-tasking button on iPhone or Android. Then restart it, for a more reliable connection. We'd also recommend turning WiFi off and back on, just to be safe. Head to Settings > WiFi, turn off and back on with Android. A similar step can be done on iPhone. Also, make sure battery saving or "Smart Network Switch" modes aren't enabled in the advanced settings menu on your smartphone. Another idea is to toggle airplane mode on and back off, then re-enter your WiFi credentials or password. Or make sure your 4G LTE has at least two bars. Honestly, though, I think most "WiFi problems" are simply Supercell servers struggling, not our devices or home internet.  Lately, this has been a non-issue.
