While we’ve been excited about the 3.0 release, a number of high profile games seem to still be having issues with the latest version of Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch firmware. Forum user skamando and others have compiled a list of games with known issues under the latest firmware. Partial list here:
- Toki Tori – Unstable Framerate (Fixable by turning off sound in game)
- Isotope – Framerate Stuttering
- Crystal Defenders – Interface Issues
- Zombieville USA – Performance issue
- Underworlds – Sluggish performance (Turn Music Off to Fix)
Many developers have chimed in saying that patches have been submitted, but that Apple’s approval process is backlogged even further than usual with the release of 3.0. One common theme seems to be that music or audio may be contributing to the problems due to a change in audio behavior in 3.0. So, if you are noticing problems turning off sound or music may be the first thing to try while you wait for the updates.
