Universal GRID Autosport (By Feral Interactive)

So much smoother on iPhone 8 it turns out (for me anyway) it turns out.

 

My iPhone X has moments of choppiness. Overall it’s not bad, but an option to increase frame rate over visuals would be nice.

 

On my iPad Pro I wasn’t’ talking about moments of choppiness, it was plain old choppy full stop. Sure the iPhone 8 might drop some frames here and there but overall it’s very smooth and am much happier with it. Would prefer to play on the bigger screen but the difference in performance is so vast that I’ve removed from my iPad for the time being

 

Just in case anyone else seeing this, I was getting the ability to ‘boost’ or change up gears when on auto with my steelseries stratus. Just got a new Nimbus and it doesn’t seem to happen

 

To be fair- there’s other things that you can’t see that may affect performance. Physics being a big one- I remember reading an article detailing the amount of physics calculations Forza does. I’m guessing the physics in GRID, since it originated on console/PC- are more complex then RR3- there’s more disciplines too so more details in physics engine. Also there’s other things to consider like draw distance - LoD. RR3 I see pop in consistently where in GRID it rarely if ever happens on my iPhone X.

Also iOS and Android are notorious for having background processes going on. A lot can be set by user so there isn’t any dev optimization to help with that. Make sure, for iOS, True Tone is off and so is Background App refresh off.

 

Hello newbie here!

I agree with the above. The physics feels more robusts here.

Moreover, I play PRO AI setting which the cars seems to have their own set of runs running, some will try to block you, the others will chace each other down (and spin out of control at times). This is not something I see in RR3.

BTW, is there any recommended setting for controller? I find the steering super sensitive by default.

 

luckily apple company isn't driven by people like YOU who thinks staying on the old generation OS would be comfortable enough and dont feel the need on improving

otherwise it would have fallen to the likes of Nokia

 

Hey, Ellie!

Any news about Brazilian version?!

I am anxious!!!!

 

Hello! I'm afraid I don't have a specific release date for you, but we will post in this thread when the game becomes available on the Brazilian App Store. You won't miss it, promise.

 

Aside from saving battery, why turn off background app refresh?

 

In a game thats heavily demanding background app refresh can cause framedrops

 

I still don’t understand. Background app refresh allows GRID to function in the background while I am doing other things. It should only impact battery life (as far as I can tell it doesn’t) and data usage (I have Sprint, so not a concern).

 

We are talking about background app refresh of other apps, like facebook, twitter, etc.

 

I'm not 100% sure but I'd assume 'Background App refresh' would mean the iphone system is communicating with Apps to keep them refreshed, at all times-in game or not. This would take CPU processing power and hence, less devoted to the game you are playing.. this case - GRID.

I think of Background App Refresh the same as having multiple programs running on a computer then trying to play a game. If you have enough ram, you are OK but it still affects the performance because there's less memory devoted to the game. That's how I interpret it but maybe iOS it's a little different.

 

Oh, ok, that makes sense. I only have a few apps allowed to background refresh, so I haven't noticed any problems.

 

I get background app refresh, but the post made it sound like I should turn off background app refresh for GRID. That, by definition, would not affect an active session of GRID. Your description of how background app refresh is accurate, but in iOS apps will not background refresh unless there is RAM available. So, it shouldn't disrupt GRID to update Facebook. Of course, that is assuming everything is working as designed...

 

Repost: is there any recommended setting for controller? I find the steering super sensitive by default.

 

Same here tbh, I just got used to it, I suggest just fiddling around with the options though, youll eventually get something confortable

 

Hello Feral Interactive. for next update, could you add options to change game resolution like 1280x720? i think iphone 8 plus with 720p strong enough to get quality as good as xbox360 like shadow effect or even better and iphone 7 plus will get boost performance too.

And in game benchmark like pc
