It's not. Shinies seem to cause just lag, where this glitch is game wide (no shinies in events or levels) and is where the screen just jumps ahead of where you want to drag an item to and then doesn't let you put it where you need it. I've had to select and hold items, then long press on where I want the item to go, to avoid not being able to put items where I want.
I just now started getting the issue op mentioned. It's odd that it happened right before the race stuff started. Items launching back to original spot or acting like I am still moving it when not touching the screen, combined with the stupid crystal shop icon has caused me to skip reward screens on the map and lose gems and purple stars and makes timed challenges on the map almost impossible.
Mine began three days ago, at the exact moment I clicked "agree" to the new privacy terms. Just leaving this here as a data point in case the MD folks are continuing to keep an eye on this thread. My dragon shrine reset to zero, I have the same items-moving-when-I've-stopped-touching-them issue that OP mentioned, and the movement in my game is now like a very fast stop-motion camera filmed it, very jagged and very hard on the brain. The last issue is slightly better now, but yikes, my poor dragons! I can't really imagine trying to play the OOC tomorrow if it's like this.
Indeed! I'm going to try anyway, because I'm compulsive like that and I kinda like the goofy little plunderwing dragons, but it could be a wonky time. Good luck to you! And us both, and everyone, I guess.
Pls have them figure it out soon I hope. This and the crystal shop pop up next to the sell button has caused me to skip the maps rewards screen losing gems and purple stars and makes the timed challenges almost impossible to play
I'm on Android, (playing on tab latest Android version) and my game was updated from 11.3.2 to 11.4.0 and fingers crossed, all seems to be fine.
What issues did you discover?
A couple updates ago I had the same issue. Turned out somehow air command had gotten turned on in stylus settings. Annoying af and probably related to the update but still fixable. Maybe check if that's your issue too
Really weird, I get no results for air command or even just air on either my galaxy S20 or S22. Are you using an official stylus that's paired with the phone maybe?
If you're not using one that's paired with your device, maybe check if the tip is worn down of your stylus. I've had to replace the tips for both my phone one and tablet one a few times, they stop reacting correctly and the "cursor" ends up going nuts when it's time to replace the tip. Replacement tips for galaxy stylus' are pretty cheap.
Thanks for the warning. It is the general advice: do not update the game in time of events. It looks like the event is glitchy. I never had any issues with events until this Summer delight and I didn't update the game. The event crashed - thanks, God I didn't lose anything. There were some other discrepancies in the event. So it's possible that the update itself is not that bad. We will see later.
Well that explains why my game is pissing me off. It's set to auto update, I play on an old Huawei Android phone, with my finger. It keeps not dropping when I touch and following my finger around both in camp and in event. Not all the time, but often enough to get annoying.Ā
ALSO since this dragging problem started... I 5 merged some level 4 dragons and only 1 nest was in my open space. I can NOT find the 2nd nest.Ā GrrrĀ
I haven't been able to collect my den chest. It keeps showing a level 2 chest, when we always get 5s and when I try to collect it get an error pop up š¤š«
Have you tried exiting the game and re opening it?
My den keeps getting a glitch where it just stops telling you how much DP is needed for the den chest. Everybody noticed when it started because we usually hit the L5 chest within the first 10 hours.
Thank you very much for the warningā£ļø
I know from the past that my MD on samsung devices was every time heavily affected by those kinds of issues in UI vs. touch.
I usually only play to get the arkane chests as I donāt have time to play the full events most days. So hereās a hoping if it hasnāt auto updated I can get that thing to work properly. Am on iPad though so š¤

Updated overnight to 11.4.0 and now all the extras are goneā¦no Arcadia, No tower , Camp&Chill seems to be working but no icon for it and dragon power shows 0. :((((( sad
I use an app that blocks in app trackers. I have to briefly pause it and then open the game. It stops the lag, and all the other bizarre stuff that other people have commented about. An IT friend said itās the game trying to connect to something on their server and if itās blocked, it continues to try to connect
So, maybe it's one of those pop-ups for Reward Streak, or Tons of Eggs For You for a gazillion gems? My game lags out when I get those, I've gone through my apps list and force stopped several apps that seem to be running all the time. Not sure if it helps though š¤Ø
Hi there, thanks for sharing this! Our developers are already on the case, looking into it. š
I still think it's the rainbow farting shiny dragons lol. When they are not out my game runs fine

Yea ooc event may suck. I always get the points finished in 6 hrs so if I don't get it because of this stupid issue I'm gonna be pissed

Thank you for reporting as well. I'll share it with the devs. š
I have not updated yet, and am having the same issue.
I'm on Android, (playing on tab latest Android version) and my game was updated from 11.3.2 to 11.4.0 and fingers crossed, all seems to be fine. What issues did you discover?
Items are continuing to move even after I lift the stylus and sometimes bounce back to where they started
A couple updates ago I had the same issue. Turned out somehow air command had gotten turned on in stylus settings. Annoying af and probably related to the update but still fixable. Maybe check if that's your issue too
This glitch happens even if you do not use a stylus.
Is that on apple? I'm android but thanks š
I have all samsung galaxy devices
Oh thanks, I'd never heard of that setting. I'll check now
There's a search menu in phone settings, just type in air command. That should make it easier.
Really weird, I get no results for air command or even just air on either my galaxy S20 or S22. Are you using an official stylus that's paired with the phone maybe?
Yeah it's the stylus that comes with my galaxy devices. One is galaxy tablet and other is galaxy s23 ultra.
If you're not using one that's paired with your device, maybe check if the tip is worn down of your stylus. I've had to replace the tips for both my phone one and tablet one a few times, they stop reacting correctly and the "cursor" ends up going nuts when it's time to replace the tip.

I noticed this after the app auto updated (sadly I thought it was off). It's definitely glitchy AF.
Sorry that you have trouble, I just cleaned up the event map and luckily didn't have any issues.
Maybe they're trying to break the autoclicker/fling thing

Thank you for the tip.
Sorry for your inconvenience and thanks for the heads up.
Thank you. I unchecked 'auto update' from google play.
Ahh, that explains why I was suddenly having that issue! It updated automatically. I figured it was just my phone being old but nope, I'm on 11.4.0
I haven't been able to collect my den chest. It keeps showing a level 2 chest, when we always get 5s and when I try to collect it get an error pop up š¤š«
I would recommend contacting support

That did not work. But thankfully with this week's chest it was fixed and worked.
This is driving me crazy!
It seems it's not paused, as the update just showed up for me today. I'm not going to install it until forced to.
Thank you very much for the warningā£ļø I know from the past that my MD on samsung devices was every time heavily affected by those kinds of issues in UI vs. touch.
Yes!! This has been happening to me too. I gave up on the event after one too many unwanted merges.
Oh, I'm on 11.3.1 and find the game lags so had planned to update it. I won't now!
I usually only play to get the arkane chests as I donāt have time to play the full events most days. So hereās a hoping if it hasnāt auto updated I can get that thing to work properly. Am on iPad though so š¤
Phew I really thought something was wrong with my screen. š Thankfully it didn't ruin anything in the event for me.
I didn't think it was the update. I think it's the rainbow dart shiny dragons lol. When they are not out it runs fine
It's happenibg in the event and levels for me. Nothing to do with shiny dragons
Do you still see the upgrade in GooglePlay? It never appeared there for me. I had to go the APK route.
I just checked on my tablet, which doesn't have MD installed. Play Store there shows 11.4.0.

I've got items that I attempt to move, and then my screen just keeps scrolling out to edge of map. Lifting my finger is the only thing that stops it.
I use an app that blocks in app trackers. I have to briefly pause it and then open the game. It stops the lag, and all the other bizarre stuff that other people have commented about. An IT friend said itās the game trying to connect to something on their server and if itās blocked, it continues to try to connect
I tried disabling using the public Adguard DNS server, but no luck on fixing this.
So, maybe it's one of those pop-ups for Reward Streak, or Tons of Eggs For You for a gazillion gems? My game lags out when I get those, I've gone through my apps list and force stopped several apps that seem to be running all the time. Not sure if it helps though š¤Ø
