Yeah. It used to be that devs could always assume that mp3 files will be decoded in hardware, but that is no longer the case in OS 3.0. The workaround in some cases (e.g. AirCoaster 3D) is to simply turn off the background music in the game. Most people tend to do so anyway, so that they can play the game with their own iPod music. The code to fix this issue is really easy. Unfortunately Apple takes sooooo #&$#@ long to approve updates.
Now I tested through all of my installed apps, have some more with probs: Powerboat Challenge: Slow, but smooth framerate, I checked it on my old 3G with 2.2.1, there it's clearly faster, on both devices tested with the same fresh new character without upgrades. Woodcutter: No Sound when you axe the trees Cubic Man Deluxe: very slow and un-smooth framerate Prison Breaker: In the game you can change the gravity and turn your character 90 degrees around (also sometimes 180 degrees but this is not the problem now), sometimes the game doesn't recognize which angle it is actually, you can't moove the character in left or right direction and he is flattering, in this situation I had to turn gravity 5 to 7 times before the chara stopped flattering and I could moove on with it. This is clearly a bug under 3.0 Tangram Pro: at beginning advertise screen, sort of, in which you can press "continue", if you do so, game crashes and homescreen returns Let's Golf: Game is on my 3G S 3.0 waaayyyy too fast, framerate seems to be 3 times faster than on my 3G 2.2.1, it is so fast that it's too difficult to catch the swing strength and "middle ball slap point", unbelievable fast. There must be an update coming with framerate limitation, otherwise i am gonna delete it.
Is anyone having trouble with naming the people on the Oregon Trail? I tap on the characters, and it does nothing.
Baseball Superstars works fine in 3.0. It may be a specific hardware/jailbreak issue. You can take that off the list.
That was one I experienced first hand. It has been slow for me since the update. And I'm not jailbroken and my hardware is fine. EDIT: Nevermind. It's working fine right now.
Please provide more information about your iDevice and the OS on it. Please comment that you have understand what exactly the problem is in crystal defenders, maybe you have the vertical mode enabled and don't know that there is a widescreen touch mode, no offense intended
Yes but if it works for me then it can't be a 3.0 issue. A 3.0 issue would give everybody trouble because it's something in the code. What are you playing on? I have an iPod Touch 2G so it may be handling the problem better than yours. Are you on a 1G or an iPhone that's not the 3GS?
Flight Control I had posted another thread, but didn't get any responses of use. I am seeing a big issue related to the movement of planes on the screen. It comes to crawl when playing and the planes move so slow it is no longer fun. You can tell it is slow when the helicopter blades are not turning smoothly. Another poster said they had the same issue. It seems to be worse on the Hawaii and Original Map. Device is the iPhone 3G S Black 16GB. My iPod Touch 2nd Gen running 3.0 is fine.
ipod touch 2g running 3.0 firmware. Cricket Twenty20 Elite freezes every now and again, plus after one ball of the second innings in any game mode it suddenly jumps to the game over screen. So you cant even get a full game played. The game was running fine under the 2.2.1 firmware.
Like I said to skamando, it must be hardware related because it's working fine on 3.0 for me. And you also stated that it works on your iPod Touch so that's even more proof. Good to hear.
I've had noticeable lag on zen bound and sway, tried re-booting the phone and it's still there. On CJS, the sound has become very inconsistent while the menus in Galaxy on fire have become very unresponsive (similar to how they were before the first update). Also, is there any reason whatsoever why flick fishing now has tap tap revenge 2's logo instead of it's own? The game still works fine and when I use the new search function it shows flick fishing's original logo but on my phone it has tap tap revenge 2's logo! Just deleted and re-downloaded it and it's the same. Starting to wish I'd left my software at 2.2.1
