    Purchased it cause I loved the PC version. Game crashes at startup after tapping to start. I went ahead and requested a refund. Once the game becomes stable I'd love to repurchase it but until then I'll just wait. I'm running iOS 9.3.2 on iPhone 6. A shame, really.

    If you get a refund, you can't repurchase the game

    Really? Are you sure? I'm sure I've requested a refund in the past and then later bought again after updates have resolved bugs. I may be wrong but think it would be a bit odd if Apple policy refused to let you repurchase an app - a sale is still a sale.

    Hero Siege crashing

    Hjello,

    I am the developer of Hero Siege.

    First of all I'm sad to see the game doesn't work on some devices. I dont yet know what the problem is but I am working on it.

    I bought an iPhone 6 basic yesterday and about to test it tonight with it.

    I ran the game on iphone 6 plus s and an old iPad Air + iPad mini and thought it would run on the rest since it runs flawlessly on android.

    But yeah I am looking into it and hopefully I will find a problem and can fix it.

    I am following your Facebook.. I have a quest in on the video you posted. Why is that the icon u have on your iPhone is the game maker icon and not this game? Are u running the one which all of us get from the app store?

    Yes once refunded u can never get the app anymore.. This was implemented somewhere in mid 2014 so maybe your repurchase was done before this

    Going the posts on here, it seems that user have have crashes on:
    iPhone 6
    iPhone 6+
    iPad air 1
    iPad mini 3
    Ipad 3

    Although it works on Ipad mini 4 and iPad Air 2 (but its "bug fest" on the latter)

    It doesn't work on my iPhone 6 plus either, with the latest ios

    After a time period it opens back up. You can re-download them.

    A while back they allowed refunds for anything and I tested it out. I have re bought all of those titles.

    And I still want the old app back; even though the game has changed drastically from it.

    So which bugs are actually present besides the NPC and start screen crashes?
    I'm really on the fence to just buy it and try my luck. I loved the original game and put hundreds of hours into it just to get it pulled from the AppStore.

    Reason is RAM

    Sooooooo.... I am shocked to see that iPhone 6 has only 1GB of ram which is like third world low amount of memory for a 2016 device.......... Even my S7 has 4GB of it. How is this even possible? The OS alone eats half of the memory, closing all apps leaving 512'ish for Hero Siege is so low it just isnt enough to run the game. On iPhone 6S Plus it runs because it has 2GB of ram which is a ridiculously shitty amount of memory for a $1000 phone. My god Apple.... My God.....

    All I can do is try some texture page optimization and if it still crashes then the next step is to exclude all of the last generation devices and older. There is just no way to get this game with a million lines of code, thousands of objects and sprites, hundreds of backgrounds and sound files to run on a device like iPhone 6. I am really disapointed about this..

    Yes. The IAPS are:

    - Amazon class
    - Paladin Skin
    - Marksman Skin
    - A mobile exclusive hat

    So no, you dont need these iaps at all, not getting iaps wont affect your game play at all. We dont limit anything, iaps dont boost anything.

    Huh, you were saying in your video that it is running on your iPad Mini 1...which has half of the Ram an iPhone 6 has.

    Btw, to anyone with an iPhone 6 or older, what does the crash report say specifically? If the device is running out of memory, it will be described there. Crash reports are accessible in the settings app.

    Its iPad mini 4 with 2GB of ram, I might miss understood that. I am an android user my self, tho I always thought that apple was the driving force in performance and memory but seems its no longer like that.

    Anyway the game is just too heavy for a 1GB device. The old version was 60 FPS where the new one is 30 FPS and runs much smoother and lags a LOT less, but still due to the amount of assets and texture pages, sounds etc its just way too much for such device to handle :(

    Does this game allow me to play the same account on multiple devices?

    Sounds like it's not optimized to run on our devices. Who knows though, this may be that game that forces people to buy a 2GB device just to play it.

    Well I would make sure that you change your app description so people know that their device may not run it and maybe put it on sale as a show of good will on your guys part. So you did say that this will run on an iPad mini 4 right?
