I can usually tell by just looking. I can't say exactly what the rate is but it's pretty easy to discern the difference between a game that's running at 24fps as opposed to one running at 60. There are ways to be more specific about it but I'm not familiar with them. What's most noticeable (apparently the issue here) are drops when the game doesn't run at a consistent rate. At its worst it looks like the game is dropping in and out of slow motion as you play. Most common shortly after a load or during periods of a lot of on screen activity. It's a sure sign that the processor is struggling or the game hasn't been optimized properly.
Really annoyed, had no problems so far on retina mini, now it crashes every time I enter the casino at the end of the mission where u take pics of the blueprints w camera in las venturas. It actually crashes during some point in the last part of the mission, not just entering the casino.
Custom playlist? Really enjoying this game! I've created a playlist, named it "GTASA" per the instructions and I can only get it to play one song when selecting mixtape during the game. Occasionally, it won't even play the single song, just silence. I've tried restoring audio defaults, restarting the game, rebooting my iPad air and still not working correctly. Anyone else having this trouble?
I believe I may have found the problem as to why the radio stations are only playing commercials. I started a new save after attempting to fix the problem to no avail, after beating the mission "Sweet's Girl", the then working radio had began playing commercials only once again. This leads me to believe that either the mission in question is causing this problem, or the victory music that plays afterwards is interfering with the radio, as when I step into the vehicle during the victory music, the radio doesn't play, so I step out, enter another vehicle, and the radio begins it's commercial only loop. I hope this helps, and in the meantime I'll look into it further.
Wow, just stumbled onto this. Old school game info, brings back some memories... http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox/925634-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/33432
Since people are saying the game is having performance issues on a7 devices, does that mean that the 5S is having issues? Can anybody playing SA on an iPhone 5S confirm?
Finally The driving school missions took FOREVER. On the bright side my Driving Skill level went up to 67%, and the Bullet (Middle Car) is IMO the best in the game. For those experiancing heavy lag when driving, try deleting all apps from multitasking and turning the device on and off.
Strange, my 4S has dropped below 25 FPS in Las Venturas only a few times, and still above 15. Smooth as silk other then that. Which iOS version are you running?
I can confirm framerate issues in hectic situations. I also have a 5 as well as my 5S and it plays significantly better on my 5 so I know further optimisation must be possible / coming ? for A7.
I can also confirm to you that I have the game on my Iphone 5s and since a couple of days, I'm not playing anymore because it completly crashes my phone twice. And I did try a hard reset and to close all the apps that were opened, except maybe installing and unstalling it which will take a long time. The worst is that, it crashes almost at the beggining of the game, where there's a mission that requires you to drive in a couple of places to paint some graffitis. Like most people have said, I really think that it is not optimised for the A7 chip because those with Iphone 5 seems to work fine. So, for now, I will keep it in a file separate from the other games, with my other game that just crashes recently, Ridge Racer Slipstream, but that's another story. It will be too painful and long to uninstalling it.
the game runs smooth on my iphone 5s i can also confirm that the planes are locked in the second airport that is open, but the same trick i talked about a few pages back works to get in still
Smooth does not mean 20 fps with occasional drops.... Smooth means 25+ with little to no drops at all.
i have had no framerate drops.....a couples of crashes when restarting missions....other than that runs just as well as vice city did and im on a jailbroken 5s on 7.0.4 if that helps
I have a question of i take over all the gang areas after the mission doberman then the gang terriorities go away after the green sabre mission when i get towards the end of the story where gang wars return will i have to redo the taking over of the gang areas or will it return to what i had?
Is anyone else having trouble climbing ladders? I was at one of the boat docks by the airport in san fierro and I cant climb up the ladder
