For the person who had performance issue on iPhone 5, I have pretty good performance on a iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1. Anyways just to chime in I'm still not able to perform very well in the races. I've only able to get a single 2 star in on race. Everything else I can barely scrape through a one star. The handling is very weird and loose. Has anyone upgraded vehicle skills and see if that helps handling ?
Just tried airplane mode and it will finally work as long as I leave airplane mode on. I guess it's Game Center causing the crash. Hope they fix this as I'd like to use Game Center for this, especially since Gameloft never utilizes GC on any of their stuff...
Man, i wish they didn't had used GC for this lol Now weekend is almost over and still no update/fix yet. In this case it's rly annoying to read all these positive comments here hehe plus since i installed this game my GC is messed up, trying to force me to enter my apple id password every now and then -.-
That happened to me too. Luckily I was only an hour in when it happened. When it shows "retrieving file" or something press cancel instead of okay.
That's my one disappointment with the game in that leveling the driving skill attributes does not make the cars handle any better. The controls are better than previous games but hey still feel unresponsive on some occassions, touchy on others and loose all around. Then there are the rampage missions with a vehicle in which the cars top speed and handling seemed fudged. I have everything in the skill maxed except for the vehicle toughness and I have still yet to scrape by anything more than a couple of two stars with the next to highest expensive car. In most races, time attacks and ring games I am still pulling mostly one star performances, and I don't think I am driving poorly in any respect... This and the sloppy camera system that doesn't follow your character well enough. Having to constantly adjust the camera is annoying especially when the button for shooting from the car or when walking, pressing against a wall for cover, is so close to the buttons and the area you need above it to look on an iPad. I really wish they would allow for movable/relocatable buttons like in their Modern Combat/N.O.V.A. series...
Okay, so I have come to the conclusion that certain control layouts respond better for certain mission types and respond worse for others. for example: For vehicle rampage missions use a control the has a gas and a break pedal buttons. If you use either of the other bar acceleration configurations you will be met with a car that just won't pick up and move or respond well regardless of what vehicle you use. Conversely, for races, use a configuration with the acceleration bar. It seems that only this configuration allows you to get an early start on races, ring and time attacks whereas the gas and break button configuration will not let you early start before the 3,2,1 countdown to start. Also, it allows for better cornering and speed control in races, time attacks and ring games. Just my observations... Let me know your finds. I had a really early morning so I have been poking and prodding this game!
About 5GB to install if you are straight downloading to device, otherwise if you hook up to computer it is only 2.6GB installed game size. I recommend just hooking up to a computer and syncing through iTunes that way otherwise if you are tight for space you may be forced to delete games you may want.
The bad thing without Game Center / no online connection is, that we don't get the free stuff that Gameloft is giving us on a daily base. Hope they'll fix it quickly.
So far I think although the vehicle handling is crap, the rest of the game is pretty good. At the very least the money is generous and there's no paywall for the cash. I'm having a hard time figuring out what the keys are for though... During in game tutorial I found a box that used the key once. Thats all. On the other hand, money is super easy to come by. By just getting one star on missions i've already racked up about 3M in a few hours gaming. Don't understand how the upgrade works though. For example it shows that to upgrade a gun, i need 26 of something and i only have 2. But i dont know of what... Cant be that I need 26 L1 guns. I mean since i already have a gun, how'd i get another 26... If someone knows can they explain? In the game they tell you to just buy the extra stuff which I do, but still dont understand how the numbers work.
I haven't got to check out everything yet, so I don't really know. But, could it have something to do with the weapon, clothing and vehicle collectible things you find? I think it says there's like 60 when you collect one. I've got like a few of those so far. Maybe when you get so many of the weapon collectibles, you can upgrade a bunch of guns? I'd have to look into it. But, I've probably got like 6 so far. Not sure if that's what it'd be for or not. Only upgraded one gun so far, that was part of the story?
Yeah I upgraded it in the story mission. The standard handgun upgraded to L2. If it is the collectibles then the upgrades will have to be bought because I think collectibles are 60 each type. And the gun needs 26 to upgrade. Thank god that that upgrade costs are still reasonable so far and money is easily earned. If anyone from Gameloft is reading this... I think they should explain more clearly. And while they are at it, can we reduce the difficulty of those races? The times are way to aggressive and brushing things deduct time which is frustrating. So far it looks like the IAP is not obtrusive nor the presence of significant paywall which is great Hoping to see if someone whose played till the end can confirm this...
I just looked on the Pawn Shop, which I think you're talking about? And if it's that, I don't think it's from the collectibles. I actually don't know about that myself. But, it gives the option of Trade-In for so much money. I don't get the required items thing yet. Only other upgrading I know, is the skill points. I'm only 22% completed. I didn't mess around with getting new guns. Only just got double SMG after only having handgun. And still using the handgun only mostly.
I only had 4gb free and it installed fine direct to device. I was sure it wouldn't work since generally you need double the app size to do this.
OK. One thing that I find annoying (outside of the wonky driving) is that you don't have to actually GO anywhere to do stuff. All missions, races, vendors, gambling, can be accessed directly from the menu. I know it's optional but it kind of ruins the immersion into an open-world.
anyone have trouble when gamecentre sign in then the game freeze? it happend to me all the time. anyone know how to enable gamecentre without freezing the game? please help....
Unfortunately if you have this bug there's no way to use GC and not have the game freeze or crash. It's the connection to GC that's causing it in the first place. You can turn on airplane mode to shut off all wireless connections and the game will play fine, you just won't have any GC features. As a last resort, you can try deleting the app and re-installing. It's not a guaranteed fix but if you're not far in the game then you have nothing to lose. Apart from that your only other option is to wait for Gameloft to submit an update that fixes the issue and there's no telling how long that will take.
I did that and it was normal game and I play for a bit and it switches so fast to the beginning of the game. No where to get passed it. I was at 27% done with the game.
I had that happen as well. I instantly killed the game and opened it back up and my save game was there. I had to select between local and the cloud hitch which appeared to be out of sync. On another note, the key thing is annoying. I have 5 boxes to open yet zero keys. I haven't gotten a key aday. It appears to me the only way to get a key is by gambling or buying via Iap.
I was just on the main menu a little bit ago. And it said at the top about a daily key. And listed "Suitcases" next to it, I clicked on that and it took me to the boxes screen. But, I couldn't figure out how you were supposed to collect the key. Then I went back to the main menu and the message was gone.
