When I updated to iOS4 I started getting lag on most games, SQH included, and it's gotten to the point where I just don't play it anymore (putting it off until the new iPhone becomes available in Australia). I haven't tried the aforementioned "turning on airplane mode" but I don't play hooked up to Feint anyway so I don't see how that would make a difference. I'm not very techie but it seems like the memory management is different on iOS4 or that the OS simply requires more to run, making older devices more prone to running low. I do notice a definite difference playing SQH straight after a fresh reboot, it runs smooth for a while but inevitably bogs down after half a level or so. That said, SQH is one of my all time favourite games. It's, simply put, ****ing amazing and if you haven't already you should buy it now. Hope it helps /A
The new level are really excellent.Even better then the''older'' ones. I wish I could buy the game again to give it another 5-star review
Super Quickhook is the best app on the appstore. Extreme feeling, good graphics, good music, best sfx and good humor. 5/5 So good. Probably the best game that will be released this year.
hey kepa it would be cooler if you make an appart place were you can see all you're achievements with pictures and in SQH style and not only in Feint, I mean just like the leaderboards by the levels.
Kepa i have a lot of problems with the new version of the game. When i find secrets the game doesnt say anything but when i quit the level in the menu it says that i already found all the secrets but i dont! The Game became more laggy that i just cant play it anymore. PLS fix this issues.
Hey Kepa, can you please add a playable gnome, demon of the mountain and bear as DLC for .99 or $1.99 each? Especiallly a gnome (I would pay $5 to play as one)
Any word on the constant crashes when buying things in the shop? I do not have a jailbroken device or a cracked copy of the game as another member tried to imply and it gets very annoying when I have $5000 or more built up but I can only go into the shop and buy 1 or 2 items otherwise the game will most likely crash and then I'll need to relaunch it again. Happens everytime I'm in the shop buying 3 or more items.
I think you're right that iOS 4 probably just requires more to run. (Great way to push iPhone 4 sales?) But I do believe that part of the lag is caused by Apple apps running in the background, so Airplane Mode is worth a shot even if you don't play with OpenFeint enabled. Plus, the lag you're experiencing sounds exactly like mine, so there should be a decent chance it'll work. I'll be sending Kepa an e-mail with more details to hopefully help him fix the problem, and I'd encourage you to do the same. This game has so much going for it that it'd be a shame for performance issues to keep some of us from playing!
I get this too, but honestly I'd forgotten about it until it was brought up. I don't have any lag issues unless I'm running app store updates in the background (iPod 3rd Gen, OS 4), but the game will crash after buying stuff from the store and I don't get notifications for achievements earned in the new levels. It must be a glitch with the new achievements, because when I beat Unknown Fate I got the End of Nightmares Gold achievement popup (which was part of the original achievement set) but I never got a popup for any of the 4 new secrets or for the 'Deathtrap Dodger' thing.
We were going to do that, but had to cut it out. Not sure if we'll bother with that one, though it would be nice. It's just low priority, considering. Did you have slight lag issues before, and the spikes and such just exacerbated it? What triggers the new lag for you? The no-popups-on-secret-finding thing is a bug for this update. Gnomey and Demon of the Mountain will be free characters in Update 3. However, they will have hefty unlock requirements, especially Gnomey. They'll be something to show off. We'll also have about 4 99 cent DLC characters, most of them familiar faces. I thought we fixed that one. It's still going on? It's one of those things that's really hard to fix because none of our beta testers has the issue. We're still trying to figure out what's causing the lag. It's a very small subset of people that are experiencing lag, which makes it very difficult to track down the cause. What your hardware generation or OS is doesn't even seem to matter much, except for some people that didn't have problems before getting OS4. Yet not all OS4 people are having problems. There doesn't seem to be a very strong cause and effect between people having lag issues and people that aren't having lag, despite having the same hardware. Yeah, it's a glitch. We'll fix it next update. At least the achievements still work. I think what we're going to end up doing is continuing Update 3 as planned, while adding an experimental lag-reduction option, like we did with Hook Champ. Something drastic... maybe "eliminate all particles", for starters. After update 3, we'll concentrate solely on quality-of-life stuff. If we can't track down the cause of the lag for awhile, hopefully adding more tweaks in the settings menu can be helpful as a temporary solution.
for the new characters, I'm guessing: the pirates that goth girl on the next update button gnome DotM Jake Gunny Zelle HB The Shopkeeper The Innkeeper The Curse The Super-Mad-Demon-Hand-From-Another-Dimension Ghost Am I close with some of the ones you haven't said yet kepa?
Can you make it s othat the dlc characters are 1.99 for all of them or something? Like a package deal as in minigore?
Hey what will the unlock requirments be for gnomey?? I want to get started now lol. At least a hint!!!!
