Users have reported that BGMI crashes frequently, force closes unexpectedly, and in some cases even causes the entire device to restart. The issue appears during gameplay and sometimes shortly after launching the game, making it difficult for affected users to play matches smoothly.

This problem is particularly concerning for gamers, as BGMI is one of the most popular mobile games in India and requires stable performance and system compatibility.

• POCO F7
• Xiaomi Pad 7
• Xiaomi 14

Affected HyperOS 3 versions include:

• OS3.0.2.0.WOLINXM

Xiaomi’s Official Status

According to Xiaomi’s latest bug status update, the BGMI-related crash and restart problem is under analysis. The company is examining the issue to determine whether it is related to system-level changes in HyperOS 3, game compatibility, or GPU and memory management behavior introduced with Android 16.

• Current Status: Under analysis
• Fix Availability: Not announced yet

Once the root cause is identified, Xiaomi is expected to release a fix through a follow-up HyperOS update.

What Affected Users Can Do for Now

Until an official fix is released, users experiencing this issue may consider the following temporary steps:

• Ensure BGMI is updated to the latest version from the Play Store
• Avoid extended gaming sessions that may trigger system instability
• Restart the device before playing to clear background processes
• Keep the device updated to any newer HyperOS builds if available

These steps may not fully resolve the issue but can help reduce crash frequency.

Gaming-related crashes after major system updates are not uncommon, especially when new Android frameworks and performance optimizations are introduced. The key takeaway is that Xiaomi has acknowledged the BGMI crash and restart issue and is actively analyzing it.

Users of the POCO F7, Xiaomi Pad 7, and Xiaomi 14 are advised to stay alert for upcoming HyperOS updates, as a permanent fix is expected once Xiaomi completes its investigation.
