The processor is too weak to handle the excessive strain of gaming so games may crash

Try gaming without the phone cover and make sure to not game while charging your phone.

Tbh I was tired at the moment, but basically, you might have noticed that while on one ui 7 your phone could pretty much handle any game without crashing, that was due to the fact that prior to one ui 8, the system of android 15 used to take/demand way less ram to operate smoothly.. i believe it was about 1.5gb, now one ui 8/android 16 asks for about 2.5gb or above from our ram, that's more than half of it, and one ui 8's "high temperature auto close apps" otherwise thermal throttle drivers are much more aggressive.. forgive me for being a geek😭

How much RAM does your phone have?

A lot of people on 4GB devices are having this issue where the game is closing in the foreground.

It is likely because the previous OS version only required 4 gigabytes for the full experience, but the newest software now requires 6 gigabytes. This means 4 gigabyte devices are now running a more limited system version, leaving much less memory for your games

You can try a few things, please:
1. Optimize RAM Plus
Go to Settings > Device Care > Memory > RAM Plus.
If it is set to 4GB or higher, try lowering it to 2GB, or turning it OFF entirely. Sometimes, this can reduce stuttering because the phone stops trying to move game data to the slower virtual memory.
2. Try lowering graphics settings in games if you haven't already tried this.
3. Clear the Cache Partition.
>Turn off your phone.
>Connect it to a PC via USB cable (this is required for the menu to appear on newer Samsung models).
>Press and hold Volume Up + Power until the Samsung logo appears.
>Use volume keys to highlight Wipe Cache Partition and Power to select.
>Select Repair Apps from that same menu afterward.

Let me know if that clears it up!
