This is the usual response I got from all devs so far. Close all apps, reboot, etc. As far as I know, if there isn't enough free ram, the app would a) simply crash to springboard or b) iOS tries to free up some RAM which doesn't always work so a reboot is necessary. RAM doesn't affect the framerate in general besides some hiccups which you can get if the app loads a new area (textures, objects, etc.). Framerate depends on the GPU, as Mamalovesyou already pointed out and I never got a smoother experience just by rebooting my device. Yes and yes You're right though. My bad.
I don't speriment crashes on my iPhone 5s and in general the fps are good(I'm on Neptune's bounty, photo's mission) but graphic sucks, resolution is very low and it's very difficult to distinguish enemies sometimes! Why on IPad Air is the game better? 2gb of ram? Is the CPU the same as 5S?
the iPad Air has the same A7 SoC as the iPhone 5S but the CPU is clocked 100MhZ higher. I doubt that will make any difference. The 5S should be able to run this game in retina resolution considering it's almost the same resolution as on the Air (1024x768). I think they've lowered the resolution on the 5S due to heat. Yes, heat. It's less of a problem for an iPad due to it's bigger case and therefore better handling of heat but an iPhone is much smaller and doesnt have much room for heat circulation. There are benchmarks which are showing that an iPhone automatically throttle down its CPU (not GPU) speed pretty fast as soon as it gets too hot.
iPad Air and iPhone 5s is almost the same hardware.I am 100% sure that is a bug or bad optimazation on iPhone 5s.
Not annoying you all with my whining anymore...just a question.Is Azerbaijan is the only country that does not have bioshock in AppStore yet?Any other Europe countries maybe?Just curious.
I hightly suggest you,to download App Zapp from app store,It's free,then you can switch every app store in The world,so maybe you can cleary see if it doesn't out in other country,or,create an US Account And download BIOSHOCK!
I thought battery life could've been a reason too. If it was drawing power like an iPad it wouldn't last long.
The game has been playing fine for me on my ipad 4 up until yesterday. Suddenly I am unable to load any of my save files, so I can't play the game. I go to the load screen after clicking 'continue game' on the main menu, and at about 2/3rds complete, the bar stops and the music breaks, and the game is frozen.
Same has happened to me on my 5s the game loads 2/3rd of the bar and then suddenly crashes,This is shortly after you beat your first big daddy and move to the next chapter.
I think it isn't frozen. The loading gets much longer the farther you get. Wait it out. It would eventually start. At least that's how it was with me.
It did that for me and after another minute or two loaded up. Try and wait it out. Still might not work. That said, after I beat the game and started a new file to play through to the other ending I had a similar issue. The game would continue alright but trying to load specific files was effed. Nothing really helped. The game would crash during loading. No amount of restarting the iPad or killing background apps would work. I had a lot of save files. I deleted and re installed and now am keeping one and the auto save to see if that was the problem. There are some issues with loading. There really should be a way to delete specific save files as well.
Removed until 2k updates the game! Unplayable after Neptune's bounty on my iPhone 5 and resolution too low!
