    Glad you're enjoying the new level :) You should notice a big change in food only during the later stages, from rounds 15+... Basically we made random food drops from enemies less frequent, and increased the amount of regular food that spawns. We found it kept things more interesting and fun then just "camping at your base waiting for random food to drop" in order to stay alive.

    Also let me know if rebooting fixes the freezing issues.

    Freezing

    i'm also getting a 1 second freeze about once every couple minutes. Never happened in prev ver.

    it's hard to tell what triggers it. seems to happen when dialogues come up. Or when bugs spawn in 1st 5 min of the game. Hasn't crashed yet though.

    iPhone 4. rebooted phone several times. using new profile. only tried kitchen normal so far.

    I'm only having a problem accessing the leader boards. I don't know if it has something to do with my connection or game center or whatever.

    Wondering?

    On the pond map does the sand slow down character walking speed?

    I'm also finding performance issues with the new update (on an iPod Touch, 4th gen).

    Playing primarily in Coliseum mode, Tree Stump level I have experienced momentary stutters or freezes upon new enemies spawning and firing their first projectiles.

    I am still using my original profile and I'm not clear if that would resolve some performance issues or if there was another reason suggested for starting a new profile.

    It might be the profile. I have the same problems only on the olld profile. In a new profile the stutters and freezes are not occurring (only once in a while with many bugs on the screen or a lot happening and the game is saving).

    I am getting the slowdowns too, so far all I have played in this update is kitchen but the slowdowns last probably a half a second...I also noticed that when I get a gamecenter achievement there is a noticeable lag, similar to the random slowdowns. otherwise the update is fantastic!

    Same thing here, & it's just a fantastic game period.

    I just tried a fresh install of Bug Heroes on an iphone 4, iphone 3gs, iphone 3g itouch 4g, and ipad and don't see any of the stuttering issues... so i'll have to try to gather more info if thats ok (if anyone having the issue could chime in)... how often does it happen (is it consistent, or random)? does it stop after playing for a certain amount of time? Is there anything you can notice going on while the stutters occur (enemies shooting for ex)?

    As for the pop-up pauses... do they happen on ANY pop-up (quest dialogs, characters talking, etc)? Or is it basically just for completing achievements?

    Thanks in advance guys...

    What about the character speed on the pond map? Does the sand slow them down?

    I am also not having any unusual problems for some reason (no fresh installation of the game, I just updated normally from my device).

    To those that don't know: the stutter between rounds is normal, it's because of the autosave.

    There still shouldn't really be any stuttering anymore though... we optimized saving back in 1.01 so that it should be nearly (if not completely) none existent for the 3gs and up.

    DK, did your equipment data even transfer over (ie everything is unlocked still) -- or did you start a new profile?

    I still get the stuttering its usually when I complete a quest or something pops up on screen. And ocassionally when I am shooting at enemies. I did reset my phone after update and started a new profile I still get it.As for the icon I like the new one.

    Just so I get an idea... is this like, game breaking stutter, or just a little thing that pops up once and a while?

    As mentioned before, a little pause before certain pop-ups (achievements, armor unlocks, equipment unlocks) is normal... however it should NOT be pausing before quest/quest completion pop ups or characters talking...

    For me. All my equipment is locked for all 3 characters ( I'd unlocked everything for all 3) the office map & the playroom map are both locked as well as my character rankings have dropped for some strange reason. Anyone else have similar problems? What should I do?
