Issue has been occurring for a while (not sure of time frame, long enough for me to forget when it started). I am running latest iOS (26.2) on an iPhone 13.
The issue occurs for me whenever the game is launched and the phone is not connected to wifi or mobile data/cellular. The game will freeze approx 30-50 seconds after making it past initial load screen, no matter where you are (menu, in game, custom mission or any game mode). Reconnecting to internet unfreezes the game within 2-5 seconds.
When I disconnect internet after the un-freeze, the game runs smoothly for approx 2-3 minutes before the same issue occurs again.
No screenshot cause it won’t show the issues :)
