    It's better to send a email to WarDrumStudios through their homepage.

    How and where do you get on the train? I remember having done that on the PS2 but that was back in 2004.

    I haven't played for too many hours, but the framerate on my iPad 3 has surprised me so far. I have not seen any extreme dips like people on minis are talking about. With the history of iOS ports it will be tough to get their attention to fix bugs, it sounds like they made a heroic effort to shoehorn a checkpoint system into the missions, and mostly succeeded - it sounds like people get caught in bugs that don't get reset though, and even more scary some of these bugs could be showstoppers.

    The fix for this in the meantime is to make sure you run at least two save files all the time, one that is behind the other by a few missions. Don't hold your breath for a miracle update that fixes this kind of thing, like people have said try not to 'resume' but rather go to the autosave if you have issues with mid mission glitch bugs.

    As for the android vs. iPhone 5 debates, come on people - I don't care if an iPhone pushes ten times the polys, that postage stamp sized screen is a BAD JOKE and I have a good laugh every time I show someone a game on my Note 2. Where is "screen real estate above a toddler's needs" on the benchmark graphs?

    I'm not to far into the game, 4-5 hours. It runs awesome on my ipad mini , maybe because I haven't run into any intense scenes yet. My 5s runs it great to... Why are so many people with my devices having problems?

    The Retina A7 powered mini is the Problem. A5 Mini is fine.

    I can't stop playing this game!

    I have played extensively on 5S and also tested on iPhone 5. It runs flawlessly on the 5 but suffers occasional stuttering and framerate drops on 5S.

    There is definitely some work to be done to optimise for A7 I reckon. I hope they update quickly but for now I will be playing on my 5 rather than my 5S.

    It has. There's a handy free aim option that allows you to pop headshots and aim for cars' gas tanks.

    No lag spikes whatsoever on mini? Perfect performance?? I don't believe it... I'm running it on a mini and reboot and clear apps and it runs but very laggy. Most of the time it's 19 fps

    I submitted a bug report on Rockstars site about the poor performance on A7 compared to A6.

    Hopefully enough people report it for them to take it seriously. I'm taking my old iPhone 5 on the commute to work tomorrow alongside my 5s. I hope we get an update before the Xmas AppStore shutdown or I will take solace in the KOTOR port universal update until this is updated.

    That said I'm loving the game though. Enjoying it even more on iPhone 5 where I can cause mayhem without too much disruption of the framerate.

    Were there so many ads in SA? I swear 90% of the time I hear ads, I've competed whole missions where all the radio played was ads, it's ridiculous. In GTA V it's very rare 2 stations have ads at the same time, but here all of them are ads. I remeber very good music in SA, it's all there, but the ads are insane.

    You can always make your own playlist with no ads.
     
  15. You get on the train at the sides of the front section of the train

    Yeah, I had that problem with Radio X and K-DST for about 2 days, but I think it's fixed up for me

    Hey guys, SA proves too difficult for my poor skills. I can't finish the OG Loc mission.

    For any of you who have played past this mission, would it be possible to upload the savegame (it's accessible with tools like DiskAid of iFunbox from GTA:SA/Documents folder).

    Thanks! I'm close to delete this game in frustration and waste my 7 bucks.
