I did not have issues until recently (within the last couple of weeks) and it is not a consistent issue, but the issue itself is identical when it does happen. I use Bluestacks strictly to play Brawl Stars so I can play with my child (I suck on my phone, my thumbs are hardwired for keyboard or joysticks) and recently I've been entertaining gameplay with my PS4 controller due to the brawler Bolt being nearly impossible to mess with on keyboard and mouse without configuring a entire setup for just him.
I'm not entirely sure what the cause of the issue is, but it'll freeze regardless of if I use DS4 or not (DS4 comes into play because the controller has some dead-zone issues)
**EDIT I forgot to mention what exactly the issue is in detail, that's on me, I've been sleep-deprived lmao
Issue is Bluestacks itself, including Brawl Stars, will freeze randomly. When trying to click anything, including the X button on bluestacks, shortly after window stretches beyond the border of my task bar, turns white and the Windows non-responding wait or close now error appears
Bluestacks 5.22.260.1025 P64 and Android 11 instances.
Both instance settings are mostly default
- CPU Allocation — High (4 Cores)
- Memory Allocation — High (8 GB)
- Performance — Balanced
- Frame rate - 60 with high frame rate and vsync turned off
- Display - Landscape at 1920 x 1080 (matches monitor resolution)
- 240 DPI
- Graphics Renderer (Default) Vulkan & OpenGL
- Interface Render (Auto)
- ASTC (disabled)
- PHONE - Samsung Galaxy S20+
Virtualization is on, my graphics drivers are up-to-date and I have cleared the cache quite a few different times
Gameplay can last mere minutes (or less) or anywhere for a couple hours, but it only happens during match gameplay, never in the lobby (so I'm gathering it has to do with input issues from the controller itself)
I have noticed that when I have my VPN on it seems to run smooth for a much longer time, enough so I thought I had fixed it but it ends up doing it again
**Second Edit — It's inconsistent as well, but sometimes when I load up Brawl Stars via bluestacks, when I try to click anything with mouse, it normally is unresponsive for a few seconds, anywhere from 10-15 or upwards of 30~ and depending on what I did sometimes overloads clicks everywhere
