    Sadly, that won't work. The game caches resources based on the minimum required RAM on the lowest settings; 256MB of RAM isn't enough. It's not just the models, either. It's the hi-res textures, hi-poly models, and all this audio pumped onto one device. It wouldn't work on iPod Touch 4 unless it was built from the ground up for it.

    The iPod Touch 5 isn't too pricey.

    This is the first time I have played an online shooter, and I must say I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I've always stuck to single player games up to now, thinking multiplayer wouldn't be my thing, but this is more fun than I expected. I'm finding that the game is performing well on my iPad 3. The only map that has some performance issues for me is the refinery, (the one with the neon light strips on the ground) which is odd because it looks less complex than some of the other maps. But yeah, I think I am converted - looking forward to dipping into the MC4 multiplayer when it is released.

    Just 250 more gold and you could've gotten a week long account.
     
  6. Is a premium account worth it?

    What are best weapons in the game or very good ones?

    I'm going to do some offers because I have spent enough $$ on my card on the Elgard MMORPG

    Nah, I rather get it daily...and dedicate half a day or so to playing it. Once a week. More economical and sensible thing to do imho.

    Then make the Hi-Res textures and hi-poly models less high resolution. Oh my giraffes, just do what you have to make the game playable! For all I care, there could be 8-bit sprites running around instead of charecter models! Wait, that would actually be super cool. Regardless, Madfinger should've worked something out. A non-HD version, maybe?

    We have submitted version 1.0.1 to Apple yesterday.. Hope they will approve soon. It will fix annoying crashing when you log to the game

    Best

    Definitely. It's really the best way to play the game; do a couple Tapjoy deals to get the gold you need to buy a week, and see how you like the benefits.

    That's hardly economical. If you play once every other day, buying three days or a week is going to save you a lot more money than buying it by the day.

    Okay, listen to me for a minute.

    The game caches the hi-poly and hi-res models and textures on the RAM. You have 512x512 and 1024x1024 textures cached at the same time. This is how the game changes graphical settings; it just switches to different textures in the cache. Same goes for models; audio's a bit different, as there's a lot of it, and there'd be a brief delay in loading it were it not cached. Madfinger would have to release an entirely new version of the game to support the 4th Gen iPod Touch, and I'm pretty damn sure they don't have the time or resources to do that.

    Anyways, you should understand that supporting a 2-year old device is becoming more and more difficult; maybe it's time to upgrade.

    Same here. Encountered a few "teleporting" opponents (probably due to internet connection) otherwise it's all fine. Even managed to get no.1 in a few games. See you guys there! :cool:

    That's normal in online multiplayer games, probably due to your Internet connection.

    Did you manage to fix framerate issues and hit detection?

    Hit detection is probably due to lag.

    I have a Tegra 3 tablet....and you know what? All this while I was playing the game on "normal" graphics. LOL. I realized something was amiss when someone here mentioned water effects (DT is auto set to ULTRA HD on my tab so I assumed the same).

    Anyway, playing on UHD brings a lillte more lag...but the particle effects, water sim and lighting is just too good. Even there's the volumetric fog.

    I just want to confirm - is this a Tegra 3 exclusive feature or do iPad3/4 and iPhone 5 owners see this as well?

    PS: On UHD, the graphics are similar to Dead Trigger in terms of effects. But I might go back to medium setting to enjoy a totally lag-free experience.

    I downloaded 4 games last night through tapjoy and never got my points. Well today I started the game a boom! 2400 gold. I'm going to give the 1 week a try and buy a skin. But if its that easy to earn gold then no one should be complaining. It took me 1 minute to have 4 ganes downloaded and all you do is open the app, close the app and log back into the game. It takes no longer then 3-5 minutes to do that to 4 games. But I did notice now that the game is not in tapjoy anymore.
