+1 In my iphone4 (not 4s) with ios 5.0.1 non-JB it works great. I closed all background apps & rebooted phone because of all the issues I had read, and I found it runs great...
Really annoying - only a few models. You are quite right. Total blame goes to CHAIR, if they can´t do it for only a few different IOS 5.1 capable machines - they should quit business. Just my 5 cents.
Can someone explain to me how to block properly with heavy weapons? How do you do the perfect block thing?
block right before the hit connects. Do the same for perfect parrying. I'm really enjoying the game so far, though am having difficulty working out how to fight the beasts (like the one in the trailer). Also, it seems dual swords benefits most from skilling damage, and heavy weapons benefit the least. Sword and shield seems to be the safest but least dps route.
I don't want to read the whole thread. Does the game work on any devices on 5.0.1 or is it an issue with A4 devices?
Yeah, I had the same issue at first. I forced the app shut, removed it from memory, restarted and sound effects came right back. Had the same problem on IB 1 a couple of times.
Same here, man. I've rebooted my device 5 times now and reinstalled the game twice. For me, it crashes within the first 10-15 seconds. On top of that, the AppStore isn't updating my purchases. Ughh At least I get to play The Bard's Tale!
I'm playing on iPod 4g ios 5.0.1 and I couldn't get past the first cutscene but logging out of GameCenter seemed to do the trick. Runs incredibly smooth haven't had any stuttering at all. I also had nothing running in the background. Played through the Castle and beat the first boss. Now I need to go to sleep but so far I'm extremely pleased.
Played for a couple hours using Flameon's fix. Worked like a dream (except 2 places with minor slow down). I have to say, the game is a blast, and beautiful too. And there are a TON of weapons/armour you can't buy, but get from chests, prize wheels, or special loot drops. And the enemies feel much more alive as far as movement and attack patterns go. Hopefully chair fixes that bug soon!
ah thanks! Still can't see to get it down. How do you do a 'diagonal' block? And you can't parry beasts, which is pretty annoying.
Yeah, iOS 5's Game Center update really made things buggy, IMO. I managed to get the game to play; just kept trying. I didn't log out of GC, but I did clear it from the task bar, so you'll still log in. Damn you Chair for teasing me with the old language in the cutscene; sounded amazing. Oh well, the voice acting so far is still really good. So, I'm a happy camper. Well, at least until my next crash; knock on wood. Good luck everybody!
Hmm.. It seems like there's no way to actually sell any of my items! I can buy new items, sure, but can't sell my old ones. Am I missing something?

yeah... looks like the general agreement on this thread is that it's 5.0.1 that can't handle IB2. however some people have it working which is odd. some said 5 works fine but i can't confirm that either. rest assured, i'm sure they're going to try fixing it asap. it's Epic afterall ---- btw, do you NEED to use the wheel to get the silhouette items? i thought they would just unlock or appear later. don't tell me you need to gamble with large sums of money to get them.. -_-
Well, I'm running the latest firmware and I got it to work; finally. I'll update as I continue to play. So far, it looks amazing! But it has been so long since I played IB1, I can't tell if there are textural improvements or not for A4 devices.
I believe you block in the direction the swing is coming at you, eg if there's a swing coming from top left you press left block. Btw this is only what I gathered from my brief use of axes, I have since moved on to dual swords. And you can parry the beast's jaws
