Pokemon Go Curveball Bug: How to Fix Glitch Making Catches Almost Impossible

Despite its popularity, Pokemon Go is currently experiencing a frustrating Curveball bug, causing throws to become uncontrollable and ruining the gameplay experience. Luckily, there is a manual fix that players can use to address this issue.

After the recent Pokemon Go update, players have come across a new glitch that is making it extremely difficult to catch Pokemon.

The issue at hand impacts curveball throws, as demonstrated by Pokemon Go players who have taken to social media to express how their aiming and accuracy for this type of throw has been greatly disrupted.

All Pokeballs thrown with a curveball that sways out of control will miss their target by a significant margin.

@Niantichelp #PokemonGO Do tell. It really sucks. Same curveball motion for 7.5 years. Now I can’t throw at all. https://t.co/ZVt82BwE5u

To help those looking to fix this issue and restore curveballs to their previous effectiveness, here is a guide on how to do so.

How to Fix the Pokemon Go Curveball Bug

Fortunately, resolving the Pokemon Go Curveball bug is a simple task.

To resolve the bug, players can easily disable the ‘Native Refresh Rate’ option in Pokemon Go by following the steps outlined below.

First, go to the settings section which can be found at the bottom of the home screen
Scroll down and click on the advanced settings
Click on the Native Refresh Rate toggle under the quality category and turn it off

Nevertheless, it should be noted that deactivating the Native Refresh Rate setting will affect the visual performance of the game. However, this will not affect gameplay in any other way except for fixing the Curveball bug.

Despite the likelihood of Pokemon Go developer Niantic addressing the bug in the future, utilizing this quick fix is an excellent solution to prevent Curveballs from veering too far off target in the meantime.
