Hooray for the universal update! I bought this previously hoping for this update. Glad I did. Enjoying it immensely right now on my iPad, though I appear to not be very good at it.
another minor thing: I like that the machine gun flees bullets now look different... makes it easier to know what bullets to avoid. @Foursaken_Media current list of problems with the update: update on the above freezing bug: it happens frequently (maybe on avarege once every minute or two). the first time it happens after I start the app it causes the sound to be lost permanently until I restart the app. the freeze lasts about a second or two each time...
Hmmm, nothing major was changed in any code that should affect performance. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?
Everything so far for me has been super smooth. VERY happy with this(pretty massive) update, and have yet to experience a crash. Will report back when/if I do. TOOT TOOT: http://toucharcade.com/2011/02/17/bug-heroes-1-1-arrives-now-universal-among-other-changes/
I am noticing 1 second stutters quite frequently. Also, my stick for shooting/attacking is getting stuck in place quite a bit and I have to lift my finger off of it to get it to move again.
Have you restarted your device? What device are you running? Which level are you playing? Is this happening starting from round 1, or a previously saved game?
So its looking more and more like you may have to start a new profile with 1.1... which sucks. The good part is that your achievements are linked to your Game Center account, so even if you start a new profile, all of your old unlocked achievements will still be there (even though they won't show up in the game awards menu, which is only for your current profile). Thankfully in Bug Heroes you don't have to spend days of grinding in order to unlock all of the equipment We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. And of course we would love to hear thoughts on the new Pond level and enemies I actually think its my favorite level now (Laser turrets are a must for their long range) Don't DELETE your old profiles though... we're working on a fix that should re-unlock equipment in the next update.
sounds like the same problem as mine. (except of course I also lose sound from the first freeze). device: iPod touch 1G level: Kitchen Hard (I haven't played any other levels yet) and it happens from round 1, as well as on saved games. edit: and I just restarted my iPod and created a new profile, but I have yet to test.
Restarting my device did help some with performance issues. My attack stick is working properly and the stuttering has been greatly reduced, it hardly happens now. I am using an iPhone 4 and have only played the kitchen level so far without using a saved game.
I was just about to post about this but everything has already been answered thank you foursaken media onward to a new profile
Dang it, all the levels are now locked again for me except kitchen and pond. Also loading times have increased by slot after the update.
Yeah, unfortunately you'll have to start a new profile with version 1.1 to make sure everything goes smoothly. Your achievements should have already been transferred to GC though. As far as load times, nothing has changed in that regard. Have you restarted your device? Are they longer in general, just during game startup, or during level load? Is this a bad thing or something? People have this very strange perception that "bigger is better", when in reality Gameloft games and such are so big primarily because of audio files (i.e. voice overs) and cinematic videos. We spent months optimizing the game to be as small as possible so that memory wouldn't be an issue for most users. Or.... are you saying its too big?
Promises are promises some pages ago I said i sould buy the game when i had the money.... So i finally bought it today !, lets see why are the people in this thread so in love with this game xD! its downloading now hope to see more updates in the future and more games from the developers =)
@Foursaken_Media the game freezes before almost all popup boxes (quests, achievment complete, bugs talking, etc.)... sometimes it crashes to the home screen. I also just had the old crash when I try to post my score (I had a bad game, so it really matter this time)... do you want me to send you the crash logs? info (at) foursakenmedia.com, right? edit: by the way, I love the ninja smoke ability. same price as ant teleport, 25% less cool down time, plus the (short) slowdown of enemies... wow! I haven't tried either of the other new abilities yet, but I think I'm going to love the goggles....
Yes please, send them over. Is the freezing new? I would expect there to be a slight delay on older gen devices as its loading. Yeah, Ninja smoke is better used for offense with its shorter cooldown and being on Spider. Of course it has much shorter range then teleport, which is still the optimal choice for mobility and escape. Goggles are one of my favorites Really helpful when looking for food or coins!
yes, the freezing is completly new. especially when it freezes before pop-ups... on the previous version, in the higher rounds, it would be laggy, but this new freezing is completely different... also on the previous version now and then it would lose sound, or crash to the home screen, but it was a lot different, and a ton rarer. I'll send the crash logs, hopefully tonight but it might not be till tomorrow. edit: I sent them. if you could let me know if you got them, that would be great.
Just played my first game on the pond and really liked it a lot. Looking forward to playing that one a lot more. What a great update - love the new abilities too. It seemed like I had an easier time keeping up on food demand... is that just the pond, or is there more food in general with the update, or is just my imagination? I did get occasional 1/2 second freezes randomly, and before messages popped up. I'm on an iPod touch 4. Didn't try rebooting before playing though.
