How to fix Pokemon Go Curveball bug
Thankfully, fixing the Pokemon Go Curveball bug is an easy process.
In order to fix the bug, players must simply turn off the ‘Native Refresh Rate’ in Pokemon Go. We’ve outlined how to do so in the below steps.
However, it’s important to note that disabling the Native Refresh Rate will impact the graphics quality of the game but rest assured it will not impact gameplay other than removing the Curveball bug.
While players can expect Pokemon Go developer Niantic to patch out the bug in the future, this quick fix is a great alternative to ensure Curveballs don’t go completely off target in the meantime.
