I had the exact same problem. It happened as soon as I connected to Facebook through the game. The only workaround I found was reinstalling . But this time I avoided connecting to Facebook and it hasn't crashed since. Hope you weren't too high a level, I was level 9 when I reinstalled.
I'm sure the devs are working on a fix, but I weighed my options and concluded that reinstalling the game was more viable than waiting a few weeks for Apple to approve the patch.
Try this: Open facebook.com from browser. Click Settings(gear icons) at the right top corner. Click "Privacy Settings". Click "Apps". Find Dead Ahead in the list. Click "x" icon. Do not tick "Delete all your Dead Ahead activity on Facebook". Click "Remove".
Hey. LOVE the game. Congrats! To be honest she is pretty powerful. Combo wise there isnt much stopping her. Also, it would be cool if you could upgrade your bike after a certain level. I love the scooter but it is just a bit lacking. Last thing, I experimented with Dead Ahead on the iCade and it works like a charm. If you were interested in an external control option it plays incredibly well on it PS How do I get the scarf?!
In the video on the front page some of the characters have scarfs that match their helmets. Is this an unlock I'm yet to hit?
We found the bug and fixed it. It should come with next update which we are sending for Chillingo QA today.
Ahh don't nerf the Betty Boomer! I think it's nice to have options. I think with two different weapons, they can never be equal. One will always be better (or more useful) than the other. I actually never use her until I'm desperate. And the fact that she's paid makes sense for her to be "overpowered". But the Vera seems pretty decent and it doesn't feel overpowered. In fact, I even get killed a lot using Vera :O Upgrading guns I would still recommend to add. And maybe different bosses/super boss? Kinda bummed the super boss is just a reskinned regular boss. I was expecting a buff dude like in Left4Dead lol.
The big guy from Left 4 Dead running behind you and smashing, exploding and throwing cars towards you is a great idea! Plus it still counts for the combos and the explosion animation is already there, so maybe its possible. Please consider this... Along the other idea of adding animations for Vera and Betty death (seen it way back on the thread)
