    Wait for apple to do another update since they were lazy to test this which I thought they did.

    so Game Center miraculously started working but Genius doesn't work and still crashes....

    I foresee 6.0.1 in our near future

    iOS 6 makes just about every Gameloft game I have suck. Nova 1&2, Gangstar: West Coast Hustle, Spiderman Total Mayhem, Dungeon Hunter, and Zombie Infection all have either audio glitches or game-breaking bugs... and Gameloft has a reputation for never updating anything. $@#%!:mad:

    At least Star Battalion, Tom Clancy's Hawx, Gangstar Miami Vindication, and Castle of Magic seem to work...

    And while were at it, that black bar showing the time & remaining battery power has a nasty habit of showing up in some games.

    They have a reputation for not updating content..they always do compatibility updates like adding 'high res' to most of the games to take advantage of duo core processors when iPad2/4s came out or retina support when the iphone 4 came out etc

    I am amazed that your device is populated with so many Gameloft games. x_X

    But...is there anything in 6.0 that should pose problems for older games? Deprecated apis, for example? Sandboxed...something that wasn't sandboxed before?

    I know there are some new privacy options, but without having a dev account it's a bit difficult to know what is going on beyond the summarized changelog Apple puts out for consumers...and my dev account expired in '09. Someone else got to be the million dollar making fart-app man :(

    Score! Classic Goals has issues with ios 6, but only on certain levels. First Touch is aware of the issue, so hopefully a fix is available soon.

    NOVA 3 definitely runs more smoothly in iPad 2 mode with iOS 6 then with iOS 5.

    Also for a complex 3D benchmark I score higher than in iOS 5, it's gone up to 12.8-9 fps from 12.3. iOS 6 is far more optimized for gaming.

    I had the crashy app store app and Gamecenter app yesterday day time. After getting home I did a full backup and restore, Gamecenter stopped crashing. I do still get random app store crashes, especially when browsing the charts. This is on my 4th gen iPod touch.

    I would be interested in knowing how many people negatively affected by the update are using iPods. They've always given me problems where iPhones haven't; not to mention the smaller amount of memory.

    Can you still use Iexplorer to add games to apps like Spectaculator or iMame? Worried I won't be able to!

    Game Center is crashing for me since updating. I can't open it at all. All in all I wish I hadn't updated to iOS6 yet since I now have all these friend requests for Pocket Army that I can't accept. :(

    I also had the Gamecenter crash when I updated earlier yesterday.

    Last night, I got Gamecenter app to work by manually hooking up to my laptop, manually back up my ipod..then did a restore on the ipod. After ~2 hours, the restore was done. Then I fired up a game that uses Gamecenter first. Finally, I opened Gamecenter and it didn't crash.

    When will people learn not to update their iPods.. I regretted updating from 4.1 so I'll stay with 4.3 until I get an iPod 5th gen or iPhone 5, sure their are a few games I can't play yet that will grow very soon but I don't have to worry about not being able to play all my old games..

    I deeply regret having updated my ipod 4 from 4.3 to 5, after that update using the appstore became laggy as hell and with somewhat regular crashes when using it and other apps that almost never happened on ios 4. On the ipad 2 it was the opposite, I felt a true upgrade from 4 to 5.

    I still havent updated because of this, im guessing the new ios is going to be a real bi@&h on the ipod to run.
