Where's the IOS Update?

[Turbine]

Was due by the end of last week according to the latest news thread. Is it still awaiting Apple approval, or did it get rejected?

It's still awaiting approval which is why the next iOS update is now labeled as "should be available soon."

Apple have been a bit slow doing approvals the last couple of weeks. I just had my new game approved today after nearly 2 weeks, whereas usually I've found it takes about 6 days. The slowness is probably due to them having a 4 July bank holiday over there last week.

 

[Turbine]

Ah of course, forgot about the whole 4th July hoopla - thanks. Good news about your game, that was the other thing I kept checking the store for!

@PiN WiZ - missed that bit. I looked staight at the Game Center status (which is what I'm waiting for). That still says : Game Center support will be implemented with the next iOS update due by the end of this week.

After reading this I just downloaded it and gave it a blast, very cool I need to play it a bit more to understand the red/blue mechanics but it plays like a dream.

5 star review on its way.

He explains how that works in his blog. Worth a read as they never come with instructions!

You got me on that one... Thanks for the heads up.

I'm very much looking forward to a bit of Black Knight, so hopefully we'll get that update within the week!

Pretty cool seeing "the ox" post in this forum since this forum is how I found out Llamasoft games were available on iOS. I actually got busted at work for playing Llamatron on my desktop back in 1995 - got through the whole game so it was well worth it. I picked up a used Jaguar a couple of years ago because I got a hankerin' for some Tempest 2000 and Defender 2000 and I was one of the few who had a working Jag CD back in the day and got to enjoy one of his first lightsynths.

Sorry to go off-topic, but I'm a big fan and it's nice to know that The Pinball Arcade counts him among its fans!

Personally, I think the DLC isn't quite ready for release yet, especially BK, so it might very well be delayed a bit.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

Update today or tomorrow?

 

[bavelb]

Not likely

 

[Gord Lacey]

There are still bugs to be worked out of the new tables.

 

[stevesabol]

Are there two updates planned? One with GameCenter and one with the July DLC? Or is it one update?

 

[bavelb]

Just the one

 

[DaPinballWizard]

I expect today or tomorrow. Called the other releases, except last one I thought was going to hit on Thursday, it hit Friday. Still time for today, but looking more like tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Quarters are ready.

 

[Fungi]

Well, judging by their track record, the last two happened around the 16th give or take a day.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

Seems like it is the 2nd Thursdays, and now that seems to be pushed to Friday.

 

[Gord Lacey]

It definitely won't be this week.

Maybe next week, maybe. Definitelynot this week, the tables just aren't ready yet.
