    Except...you know...Watch Dogs and Battlfield 4 are console games. And PSP, Vita, and 3DS are built for the sole purpose of playing games.

    What the hell is going on with this game.....all of a sudden am getting booted right left and center from matches...

    And every now and again the game will just shutter and freeze right up

    Not sure why the people here act all confused and surprised every time they update to the newest version of iOS... There are always some type of bugs that come out and eventually get fixed with an upcoming update. Get over it. Don't update immediately. Give it a week or so and then update. This way you don't act like a bunch of sad sacks when u can't play ur games for a couple days. Holy crap...

    Alright foursaken,Firemonkeys,Crescent moon never had this problem.Ravensword shadowlands looks better than any Gl rpg and runs smooth 30 even on an iph4,Same is the case with RR3,How's that possible?These are traditional indie devs CM and 4saken then can they manage to get their games running at 30fps and a multi million dollar Gl fails to do every simgle time.

    P.s I find it funny that people compare ios games to a cup of coffee to justify it's price when they are two 'completely' different things bjt they scoff at anyone comparing a first person mobile shooter to another first person mobile shooter.Goes to show that comparison are only valid as long as they are in one's favour merit or facts are put aside totally.Turning blind eye to something won't change a thing though,The game still lags and hasn't been fixed.We still don't have any word on a performance update by the support guys,There's not even any acknowledgement of the issue just some guy 'rip' telling us they're working on it,How does he know that?Why can't the support guys say it themselves?

    Don't recall anyone comparing the price to a cup o coffee... But mind you coffee is bloody expensive these days ;)

    Also if you follow the forums, RIP is a good and reliable source of information regarding games. Particularly GL titles, often in the upcoming thread Rip would be posting info before Ryan would.

    However it is a bit concerning there has been little information from Ryan direct in the forum. Although I do think he is contactable in other ways, for example in the latest Bnates vid e mentioned that Ryan said there was an update coming soon...

    How I know that is really none of your business but if you were here longer than a wet weekend, you'd actually know that all my info is legitimate and direct.
    You can take it or you can leave it, I don't particularly care as it is clear to me the reason you're here.
    However, decent members, such as jcho, who contribute more than just Internet rants, complaints and ill informed opinion, are those I'm happy to ask for an answer to their question and provide that answer if I get it.

    If you last here, you'll eventually understand that developers appreciate support quite a lot and are very happy to share with those that support them.
    Those that are negative all the time, don't rank too highly and are those that have contributed most to developers lessening their own interaction on here.

    So if you actually want any answers, there a pretty simple rule that applies in real life as well.
    When you're nice to people, they'll be nice back.
    When you're nasty, negative, disrespectfull and critical all the time, don't expect much back.

    Not really mate respect is something you earn you can't demand respect,As far as you're concerned I never questioned your authenticity or whatever infact if I remember you were the one with the whole 'I've been here longer and hence know much more than you attitude so I thought that's the way you like to deal and be dealt with.Again I apologise if I came of as rude but I think you should consider some of the comments you've posted yourself,I tend not to insult other forum members over petty things such as their duration of memebership nor do I care about it.

    Anyway do you work for GL or how are you related to them? I see some support guys in the A8 thread and they rarely respond to technical issues hence I was a little confused as to how they weren't the one to respond and instead some guy named 'rip' who had no obvious visible association with GL according to his username would post key development information.

    Oh yeah and I do respect devs you can look up nimian legends or The wild thread for evidence but I can't stand the same BS from the same dev over and over again.Also thank you for reminding ne as to how I should treat people in real life based on my internet interaction with some random people on a mobile gaming site,I do however hope you're not the same annoying,preachy and entitled self in your real life as you come across in your posts.

    Actually you did question his authenticity, and he never demanded your respect. No one knows Rips affiliation, but what he says is always le truth. Why don't we just get over this whole fight. It's turning more personal which means it'll get uglier.

    Sorry if I came off that way but I was having fun with him,I was just replying to him in a manner that he adopts himself,I assumed he would be alright with it but he wasn't.Anyway I'm new here I don't know who's who people called him out over the Killzone thing which made me beleive he was 'that' kind of a guy so I was having fun with him,No hard feelings.

    There's a rumour going around it will be fixed* this week.

    * that doesn't mean it'll be updated this week as there is still approval process (possible expedited approval excluded) for the fix update along with the added complication of the new content that's coming and new screen resolutions update.
    It's possible/probable that the fix and the new content and screen updates will come together.
    Gameloft tends to include fixes with content updates rather than release fixes on their own. Mostly anyway but with some exceptions.

    The extra content is pretty far along the line though so a guess of about two weeks being most likely but sooner being preferred/possible if they run with just the fix.

    That's the best one could guesstimate right now as there are a lot of variables in play at the moment so it could go either way.
    Not quite the answer you were looking for I imagine but at least something is being done and more stuff is in process so light at the end of the tunnel and all that.

    Maybe.
    Maybe a little bit.

    Does anyone have any idea how much extra content we can expect in the near future?

    No offense Rip, but why are we hearing about these speculations from an anonymous forum member with mysterious connections to GL, rather than through Ryan or GL themselves. Whether you're FOS or not, that's just bad PR from GL.

    Isn't just about everybody an anonymous forum member?
    And no offence taken but whether I'm full of shit or not isn't really a reflection of either good or bad PR from Gameloft or Ryan. It's very unfair to say that.
    I can express a fairly accurate estimate based on whatever info I have because I'm not subject to any of the rules an employee would be.
    However community managers are. And if they don't have the answer, they can't exactly give one now can they. I'd imagine they would get a lot more criticism for giving the "wrong" answer or the standard "we are working on the issue" PR response.
    I'm not even sure what you were looking for anyway because they wouldn't be in a position to give out the same info anyway or give an estimate of time.

    And it's not really mysterious connections. All this data is out there, it just needs correlation which allows for the formulation of estimates. The estimate might be right, it might be wrong, we will just have to wait and see.

    I didn't think sharing that estimate would be turned around into "bad PR" to be honest and as I have a lot of respect for Ryan and a lot more people at Gameloft, I think I'll be a little bit more reluctant to share in the future as I'd rather not see it turned in to a negative of some very decent people who are not always allowed to speak publicly about everything and anything. They have rules to follow and authorisation to receive. I don't.

    And again, no, there is no offence taken but it's not really fair to turn it in to a negative or "bad PR". Sometimes you just take the info where you get it and move on rather than looking for another reason to criticise them.

    @Sherlock. Yes. Updates for games that are subject to a current update schedule, non legacy games, will mostly get iphone 6 resolutions. That doesn't mean all their games will. Legacy games won't obviously enough. Gameloft has a pretty solid history in this area and are generally pretty quick at pulling it together.
