    I know some of you were waiting on that one.

    Thanks for the update! Now my savegame is gone so definitely on the same ground 0 as my iPhone save. I am now debating whether I should ask for a refund or not...

    I waited for the game a long time, when it released I was sooo happy I started playing immediately. Then I got disappointed by the lack of normal: huge game but no iCloud or any way to transfer saves? Fortunately, you announced the “in work” status of the feature and I decided to pause my exploration and wait for it to have a better experience. Now the update is out and my save is gone. I was halfway through, had a lot of upgraded stuff, ship fully done for example, and this happens. No backed up save, got to start over and as much as I like the game, that is too much.

    I played Aralon 2 and started it again when I got a new device because iCloud was not modern enough for the game. Now when Morphite gets it, I get to rant and vent a bit. No idea what is relevant info or not, so PM me or whatever if you want details other than iPad Air 2, latest iOS (11.1.1).

    PS: not gonna ask for a refund, but losing the save really pissed me off after what was a bad day. Worst timing to have it happening (not that losing something has ever good timing)...

    Ok - I just spoke to someone with the iPhone X that had grabbed the update - and they didn't lose their save at all and were able to continue playing.
    It looks like it could (I'm hoping) be an isolated case...

    So for those who are going to spend some time with the game after the update - how has it improved?

    I've updated the app on my iPhone X, and the save is still there! But, for some reason, the screen is pillar boxed. black bars on the left and right. Was the update supposed to make it able to display across the screen fully?

    Not sure about improvements, but noticed an increase in stuttering and clipping off the edge of the map. Made trying to aim at things a real headache no matter how I adjusted the sensitivity

    yeah it should definitely be filling the screen on the X. if not, then I don't think it is the update - what version does it say for you? Nice about the save data still being there.

    no problem here with the save (6S 10.3.3), but for a second i panicked 'cause now, after the pod launch intro screen, there's the complete intro story every time, so thought i lost everything... i know that i can skip it holding down the screen, but it's a bit annoying, especially 'cause didn't happen before.

    We're doing the intro and menu in a different way now so it's leaner - helps if you hit the menu button while on a planet. But doesn't appear to be skipping after you watch it once.

    In a few hours I can report on the iCloud system using an iPad 2 and iPhone 6S+, both on the latest ios 10 release, if you'd like more feedback.

    Okay, I feel bad... the save is still there but the intro sent me to panic mode. I haven’t imagined that the intro you get for a new game is the new norm... well, now I’m happy with the update, but man, what a scare (Halloween is over!). Thanks to the guy who mentioned the intro, you made me go back and check past it. :d Sorry guys for the rant!

    When I go to the Morphite page on the App Store, it just says Open and it isn’t listed in my updates (I try to update all once a day). The version next to the latest notes is 1.21. Is there a way to tell which version I have installed in the app?

    And right now when I open the app, I don’t have an intro. Just have the title screen and when I tap it, the ship takes off. Then I’m into my save. Could it be that my save is preventing the update from going into effect?

    1.21 is the latest - if you don't have the intro then you still somehow have the old version. The new version doesn't auto skip the intro.
    I just saw this guy's vid of it running on the X and it is definitely filling the screen

    Are you using the same App Store account?

    Awesome news. I kept refreshing my App Store and finally the 1.21 update showed up. And I got the Update instead of just Open. After updating, the screen is now beautifully filled! Thanks for confirming. Sorry for my App Store’s reluctance to refresh. :) Really appreciating the work put into this one. Also, I just noticed that Ravensword 2 was recently updated. Guess it’s time to play through it yet again!
