Don't anybody realise it's pointless to grasp at straws thinking small little details can cause GC to fail? It's better if we let game developers know that GC has fatal flaws and make them do away with GC altogether. First we gotta let developers of games which require GC to start up know about these problems so that they can update the game to not require GC at all.
I highly disagree. It is clear that while some people could care less about GC, many people enjoy it immensely. It should not be done away with; it should be fixed. I do feel that people should have an option whether to delete GC or not, but it certainly should not be discontinued. I have about 215K points and non of my devices have ever been hacked or jailbroken.
I come bearing false hope! The latest iOS 9.2.1 Public Beta #1 has restored GC to me, but unless it sticks, it could simply be a quick reprieve like one gets from a Settings Reset. I'll keep you posted on WHEN it goes back to crap. UPDATE: NEVER MIND, I could only access the GC app once, now it is back to the white screen, GC is out again.
Mine is still working after my 13th restore. Just don't have too many apps and only install new and recently updated apps. Also don't install heaps at a time, only download 3 new games at a time.
Odd, two days after my update to 9.2, Game Center app suddenly has started working again, just really slow. But it works!
I had to quit from 9.1 because of freezing problem while deleting apps. With 9.2 and even 9.2.1 Beta 1, Game Center app doesn't open (blank screen, yeah I did wait long enough), I can't access the settings to log out (it freezes whole device), can't play games that begin with Game Center login. How the hell did Apple reproduce bunch of bugs that solved with last update (9.1) ? Are they even trying?
Everybody please refer to my advice in this thread, I have had problems with GameCenter from the start, tried every different which way to fix it. Now I have a fix, it's been working for a week now. RESTORE IPHONE DONT USE BACKUP SIGN INTO ICLOUD DONT INSTALL OLD GAMES ONLY INSTALL NEW GAMES OR RECENTLY UPDATED GAMES ONLY HAVE 20 OR LESS GAMES ON DEVICE AT A TIME IF A GAME USES AN OLD VERSION OF GAMECENTER IT WILL FREEZE IT, IF THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY RESTART DEVICE. If you follow these guidelines you will have a working GameCenter again. Enjoy
It's not fix and not even a workaround. You are like "game center doesnt work and i'm ok with it" by doing so.
Your method of fixing the Game Center issue is something to keep in mind, and I thank you. I'm glad it works for you. But having to treat the device with kid gloves and having to possibly restore it from scratch every time you install some app Game Center doesn't like, is not really a feasible solution. I guess it's better than nothing for now, but Apple , with all the brains who work there, should surely be able to come up with a more permanent solution. Maybe I'm beating my head on brick walls, but that's how I feel.
I know how you all feel and my method is a workaround the problem, but I don't care much any more as I play 3DS and WiiU mainly now. I use to love GameCenter and I have around 260,000 points from achievements. Some times you just have to let go.
It's not so much Game Center for me. I can live without the Achievements and such. What upsets me is some of my favorite games will not even load now. If they would, I'd be okay and just play without Game Center. I'd miss the Leaderboards, but at least I could play. When this problem brings down some games completely is where I draw the line.
Same here! To think Apple clearly pushed so hard for devs to utilize their system and now it seems like they've just abandoned any REAL support of it as CLEARLY it is nowhere as important to the powers that be as their stupid iWatch or Music app update.
See Ramon31? You are ok with it as I said. There is nothing wrong about this but don't tell me "let it go" because that's my business. Again, it's not a workaround. I have 64 GB device, I paid for it and I have the right to use that space (I'm not gonna limit usage of this). I can't even play Implosion. So with that I think you got I don't give a thing about "install only new or recently updated" games. Don't get me wrong. My problem is not with you. It is just Apple's fault. They reproduced it after solved with last update. Such an amateurish move.
I understand your frustration and you have to understand what I have been through to get my phone working properly. I have restored my iPhone 13 times back to factory setting and redownloaded my apps and signed in to everything over and over again. I have also sent over 70 emails back and forth to Apple. I have also spent around 12 hours on the phone to Apple engineering team. All I'm saying they have no answers at the moment and if you want to play GameCenter at all you have to do as I say and follow the steps I gave. It's Apple fault this is happened not mine. I've done everything in my power to get it working and I don't even work for Apple. I'm just a consumer who loves games. This is the 3rd thread about this GameCenter issue, the amount of time I've put into this has burnt me out that's why I have turned to real gaming company which is Nintendo. Thanks
I freaking hate my brand new iPhone 6. Piece of crap waste of money. I could delete my phone app for a gamecenter app anyday. This is more of a gaming device for me
I accidentally downloaded an old game with an old GameCenter version now my GameCenter is broken again. Damn!
My ipad air 2 game center is not working now. White screen on app, and in settings it freezes up my ipad. My iphone 6 plus game center still works. I did some research online and found this problem has been going on since September. Why in the hell hasn't Apple fixed this yet??? I bought Guitar Hero and now I can't play the TV mode. I am disappointed. It has to be related to some older game I opened on my ipad air 2. I went through a lot of old games Friday and deleted the ones I don't play or didn't care for.
