Don't get yer hopes up. With Apples approval rate, we could be looking at another few weeks of waiting.
Not sure if I'm loving this update or not. I have yet to join an online game using gamespy yet. I'm usi g an IPhone 4.0 with 4.2 and never jailbroken. It's just a pain. The follow behind view is great but you need to stop the damn camera from moving around at all. Let me just do it manually to correct awkward views in the corners or near a wall. It's crazy. You guys didn't fix the inventory at all and it's really a nuisance. I thought there was a list view or something. I fo love the graphic bar slider. Graphics are a knock out. Little laggy but worth it! thumbkiller Apprentice: 62 Squire: 62 Monk: 61 Huntress: 64
Trust me, we are going to work to the best of our ability to get the issue sorted out. Anymore info from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
Going to copy/paste what I said in the deals/pricedrop forum thread... I chose GameSpy when booting up the game after installing the new update, I was curious as to how it worked. It took too long to find a quick game (it didn't find one at all), and the Custom games screen is sloppy and am unable to read the list. I want to switch it back to GameCenter multiplayer, but I can't find the option to.
My itouch 4 is working great, no crashes yet, not jailbroken the new graphics does make it seem much better. My only gripe is that the new hard and insane modes are too hard or slightly unrealistic; what I mean by this is the fact that in the last challenge with the new courtyard, I was playing that scenario on hard, and then two ogres come out, each at 220,000 ish hp and they're like running unrealistically fast and running as fast as me. And does this update include familiars?
I'm no programmer, nor one of the Trendy Ent fellas, but I'm starting to get the nagging feeling that jailbreaking is the culprit behind the intro crash
You need to be more specific than that. There are a lot of things that can happen after jailbreaking. Are you saying if someone immediately runs this app the moment they run a JB tool that it will crash (i.e. nothing new besides the actual Cydia app installed)? There are a multitude of 3rd party tweaks and Cydia apps that could be involved if it has anything to do with JBing being the issue. What it looks like more to me is 4.1 users are having issues jb or not. For the record, I've downloaded and played well over 200 app store games and JB'd my iPhones since the first JB ever existed for the OS and they've never been the problem for app crashes. I'm not saying you can't screw up your phone after JB'ing because you certainly can with all the more access that you have but doing it right does nothing meaningful to any of the APIs games access.
Okay I lied. The game's framerate goes all the way down once the drops start popping out and cluttering up the map, just like before. Will there a way to disable the drops from showing up until a round's finished or something like along those lines?
Since the game has passed Trendy Ent's tests for 4.1, that is actually far less likely. Add to the fact that an unjailbroken friend of mine is running it on 4.1 right now (and trying to get me to join him), and the notion that this particular crash (just at the blue ring, preceded by a short flickering and color distortion) only occurs on jailbroken devices becomes even more likely. If the actual jailbreaking process itself is to blame, or if it is caused by a Cydia app/tweak, I am in the process of testing right now... The instances of the jailbreaking process causing unique crashes in games have been few, but they do exist. UniWar 1.0.3 is one example. I can scrounge up a few more, if need be. The jailbreaking process need not mess with specific APIs to affect games. The small changes it makes to iOS' filesystem in order to allow SSH access and the additional daemons and frameworks (such as MobileSubstrate) that run in the background after a jailbreak are apparently enough. However, do not feel the need to defend jailbreaking As a journalist focused primarily on iOS, and as the editor of a jailbreaking-friendly iOS site, my use of words such as "culprit" are rather humorous, and I'd take jailbreaking over any game, any day
I only have a couple of tweaks. I'm going to see if disabling them does anything. EDIT: nope still crashes...man...this sucks.
The update broke the game. Crash on start up always no matter what. iPad 3G 4.2.1 WTF This game keeps disappoint me. And I was a first day buyer.
Dang, that new campaign level is so freaking hard! It's Awesome!!! Sadly even with my level 52 mage I got owned on the last wave on easy
We are SO sorry guys. We are a small team and are working on this constantly! We are going to try to push a patch fixing this error ASAP. Is everyone on iPad 4.2.1 getting the same crash after the initial videos? I believe we figured out the GameSpy issues. iOS is forcing the first character of the user/pass to capital... so if you change your password, you should be set.
Usually if JB is the issue you can try putting it in safe mode sbsettings>power>safe mode. It disables all you tweaks and makes you iPod or iPhone run as if it wasn't jailbroken, that's worked for me on a few occasions in the past
Crash, 3GS, iOS 4.1, JB. If any other details would be helpful please let me know. Really looking forward to playing whenever this does get solved.
