Infinity Blade II iPad Fix On The Way
Those who purchased Infinity Blade II for the original iPad have been running into some trouble.
Since launching yesterday, many users have been experiencing crashes upon loading the game. Mark Rein, Vice President of Epic Games, issued a statement explaining the problem and says an update is on the way.
His full statement is below:
For some users Infinity Blade II seems to be running out of memory on their heavily laden iPad1 and iPod Touch devices.
For example if you have a large number of apps installed iOS must cache all those icons to give you smooth performance when you hit the home button. Unfortunately the machines we tested on didn’t have massive numbers of apps installed on them so we think this how we think we missed this particular condition.
We’re working on a quick fix and will submit an update to the store as soon as possible.
In the meantime we're going to update the description in the iTunes App Store to mention that we're aware of this issue.
One more thing. When apps run of memory at loading time that is something that is often fixed by restarting your device. So I recommend that people try restarting their device to see if that solves it for them. I say this because the game runs fine on my iPad1 which I restarted before playing the game.
Here’s how Apple recommends you properly restart an iOS devices: First turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and the device will turn off after a few moments. Next, turn it on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears then wait for it to continue booting up.
For those experiencing the issue we thank you for your patience!
