AdMob text banner causes fps drop

[Aleksandr Ro]

Hi, 

I'm using Heyzap v10.2.0 with AdMob 7.7.1 included. Unity 5.1.4 and xCode 6.4

The ads display fine, but if there's the animated text banner ad, the game start to run on 20-30 fps.

It's only noticeable on low-end phones, like iPhone 4S.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Aleksandr,

You might want to determine the origin of the ad that is causing the drop of fps and speak with the corresponding ad network for that issue. Generally, though, animated ads tend to incur some performance overhead due to the CSS and JS happening under the hood. On older devices where the specs might not be as powerful, frame rate drop can happen.

Try building from scratch with only our ad SDK, then start adding the other ad networks and logic until you notice the performance bottleneck.
