Iphone 4S MAJOR bug!?

[Zeus]

Okay, so recently my entire family bought iPhone 4S's. When I logged on to try PL, it was blissful, the graphics were smoother than ever and ping was the lowest I had seen it in months.

Then I went to go try PvP, to my utter disappointment, things went downhill. Ping would be stable until I actually started fighting, then the screen would freeze up and stutter.

This problem was replicated on all the other iPhone 4S's I have come into contact with and has even shown its ugly face when using different wifi networks.

I have come to conclude, while I may be wrong, it must be some sort of glitch in the PL application due to the dual core processor of the iPhone 4S.

I would appreciate if any light is shed on this matter, as I have a tourney coming up and it's essential that I have at least a reliable device that I'm comfortable with for it.

Doesn't ipad 2 have also dual core cpu? So it's something else than dual core cpu <-> pl app.
Have you tried in pve how it works there? When fighting mobs does it cause lag at there at all.

I have to agree with Darkfader, even tho all my apple products (iPhone 4, iPad 1st & 2nd Gen) have always lagged my Android devices have dual core processors aswell and don't have that issue at all. So I highly doubt it's the processor but as for the root of the problem I am as lost as you.... gl and I hope u get it worked out before the tourney

I have a video of the occurances, but I'm not going to post it publicly, as it has some of my personal stuff. If a dev wishes to see it to get more of an idea of what's going on, please let me know.

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you explain again what you said in the first post?

That is weird... I use iPad 1 and i got absolutely no problem, i mean normally. There are times with everyone being a bit laggy.

Yeah, there should be no reason that a phone as powerful as the iPhone 4S should have graphical hiccups. I mean, my iPhone 4 played the game without a single hint of lag; the iPhone 4S has a GPU that is up to 10x more powerful than that of the iPhone 4's, so it's only logical that the iPhone 4S shouldn't have a problem handling PL.

Essentially, my point is that PL stutters and freezes/graphical hiccups periodically when playing the game. This is something my iPhone 4 and other devices were not doing. It's not specifically my phone because I've asked other users and tested some myself, all have the same results. Imagine when you're playing, the screen freezes for a split second then continues.

It seems to occur during skill animations. Perhaps some weird coding on Apple's or STS's part? Trying to figure out which party is responsible. Going to try and contact apple's developers later to see if it's a known problem.

I have this same problem. Except I don't use an iphone. I have a samsung mezmerize which initially did not have this pvp fighting lag spike issue. It came roughly after the halloween event. Its frustrating and I have really let down on twink pvp. I dont even try pvp on my main at all anymore. But I hope you find a solution. So far I haven't found one fir myself.
Have reinstalled/cleared cache/ moved to internal storage/updated my signal roaming thing (*228) so yeah...idk what else to try.
Wish you good luck though.

I have the same issue but I don't really care XD

What a waste of bytes :P
I have never run into lagging EVER, unless ping is bad, so I have no idea.

As I told you via PM, ask Siri!

Actually, I was looking around, and it was happening on a few other games. No single-player games, just multi-player. With games that supported both modes, it would only happen in multi-player.

Me and a few friends have been having problems with the game stuttering but in PVE. (don't PVP much any more) All the action is choppy while ping levels are great and steady. However, we are on iPads (me iPad 1st gen). So, I don't think this is an isolated occurrence with iPhone 4s or PVP.

I´m having the same freeze trouble with my new iphone 4s. I´m just doing pve, and each 5 seconds or so action freezes and goes ahead like a fast forward. It´s not a lag question because my ping is the same as usual.
I also have an Ipad2 but I didn´t experience anything similar there.

Edit: It seems to happen on SL too

[Zeus]

Yeah! Finally others who have the same problem as me. I'm glad I wasn't going crazy. It is REALLY REALLY annoying, sometimes making me annoyed enough to just log off or sit in Balefort and chat.

I've reproduced the problem on a 4S here in the STS Secret Underground Testing Dojo. We're not sure yet if the issue lies with us or Apple but we're looking into it. Thanks!

Thank you so much! You're a life saver, Flip! (:

It seems as though a VAST majority of the skipping seems to have disappeared with the new iOS 5.0.1 update.

I'm having the same issue all is well until I start fighting. I have an EVO 4g though. I tried everything with no luck.
