Bug TPA v4.1.1 for iOS

[IGoFirstIndy]

iOS v 4.3.1 the latest update is crashing at the title screen and will not open on my iPad 3. Anyone else having issues. I hate when this happens. I'm using version 5.1.1. Thanks

Not having any issues on iPad air.

No issues on my iPad 3 with 7.1.1 update. I don't do Apple updates any longer.

Working fine here. iPad 2, iOS 8.1.2.

It looks like it has something to do with version 5.1, as Gary and I appear to be the ones with issues. How do we let them know about this? Thanks!

I just posted about this in the beta test forum. Cross your fingers.

Don't do IOS updates as soon as they release. Bad move. Just stick with the version that works best for you and screw Apple updates period.

...and screw Apple updates period.

But, if they had updated beyond iOS 5, they wouldn't be in this current predicament.

True , but Ive been told that IOS8 is not great on an IPad 2. Not everyone can afford to buy a new tablet every year.

Thank you Fungi! Let's hope they see it and it gets fixed soon.

I am aware of this. For me, I kept things this way because I like the older setup. And if you recall they had issues with 6,7 and 8. I also can't afford to buy a new iPad. It's upsetting because I own every table and play pinball Arcade a lot. I do thank you for your help Fungi.

iOS8 is excellent on my iPhone6 but stay away from iOS8 for your iPad2, it has ruined Safari, terrible speed and all sorts of issues.

This is absolutely true. I also remember iOS6 jacking up TPA on iPad2 back then. I'm not judging, I'm just making the observation. I still have my iPad 4 on iOS6 myself.

Actually, it's you that is helping FarSight. I don't believe that FS has an iDevice on iOS5, so this is probably their only feedback of this configuration.

Also having this problem, on Original iPad and OS 5.1.1 (can't update it on that system).

I seriously wouldn't mind Farsight freezing support on Original iPad/5.1.1 at some version that won't get killed in the future, just to prevent this kind of scenario. I spend a lot of my time playing on this device, despite having PA for others, and don't want to lose that!

I realize certain tables like the latest ones, HRC and some others simply aren't going to play well, or at all, on this system; I just want to have the collection of tables that do.

They can easily set up the, "this update requires iOS7 and above. Do you want to download the previous version?" thing that Apple has on the App Store for gazillions of other apps. I currently have plenty that still run on the ol' thing, that are "legacy" this way.

You'd think that Farsight with all its investment in pinball table history and nostalgia would have the same kind of respect for the iPad, Steve Jobs Edition.....

Just an interesting sidenote for this discussion: check out http://david-smith.org/iosversionstats/ to see where you stand as an iOS user. All 5.x users seem to make for about 1,8% of all users, that percentage may be slightly higher for TPA users because of our justified apprehensiveness to update to a newer iOS and have all of our scores annihalated or some other disaster....

We do have an iPad1 running iOS v5.1.1. When I code though, I test on an iPad2 running the latest OS (iOS v8.1.2). Thanks Fungi for pointing out this issue on the beta forums. I dug up our iPad1, found and fixed this issue this morning. Sorry about the inconvenience, unfortunately I can't find a work-around to get the game working until the app is updated. Due to Apple's app review wait times, this won't be out until the update that releases the next table. =(

Thanks so much for fixing it. Now I can't wait for the update.

Colin, thanks for fixing it!

Now I'm looking forward to the next table, times double!

Thank you Colin! I'm glad it's been fixed. Can't wait for the update!

Thank you so much for this! It's great to see that Farsight cares even for us with old hardware. Keep up the fantastic work!
