Was finally able to download the update and there was no more issue with GC woth the slow downs on startup. New problem though... The fluidity if tapping left and right is gone. Not possible to tap left and right in rapid succession now, to the point that it has become unplayable for me because of the unresponsiveness. Can anyone else confirm they are experiencing the same? I was really looking forward to the update but it open a new can of worms.
Game is now broken for me. I'm getting all my achievements I've previously gotten looping non stop on top of the screen. I've even reset the phone and as soon as it logs in bam. I cannot play like this. It won't stop. Running iPhone 5s with iOS 8.3 Billy
Unfortunately i have to confirm this. It's unplayable now. An hour before the update i managed to unlock Xera with getting 100 chests in-game (i think it was). Super responsive it was...before. Gamecenter stuff: lucky me had never a problem at any time. @Billy Maybe...log out and in again from Gamecenter
Achievements are constantly misfiring for me also. I think the new control system is how the devs wanted it the first time around. It makes it slightly harder and rigid but for new players I don't think it will present a problem and for us, we'll just need to get used to it. That said, I did like the way you could move frantically fast in the original system almost in a straight line - example in the video below; Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Yes, I can confirm. Exact same sentiment on fast moving post update. I reinstalled prior version, it's a game ruining change imo.
I still can't even get to the game without logging out of GC first. Not a major issue. More of a minor inconvenience, but it would be nice to get some of the cheevos.
