[QUOTE="DeeEff, post: 103569, member: 2188"] Note that enabling Airplane mode under iOS 7 "fixed" the stuttering *with the fixed camera view*. When I run the scrolling camera, it stutters under iOS 7 whether or not Airplane mode is on... And I've just done some router log sleuthing, and now conclude that some app in the background was intermittently talking on the network which was causing the stutter. Here's why I conclude this: Given: iPad 4, iOS 7. In each instance below, play TPA 2.7.1 Whirlwind for five minutes with fixed camera, view 2, multiball and event cameras off: 1 - "Normal" mode (wifi on, all configurable options set for "no background processing or network talk") - rare but mildly annoying stutter. 2 - Airplane mode - no stutter. 3 - "Normal" mode, but force-closing all background apps - no stutter. #1 and #2 were performed with ~30 apps backgrounded. While doing #2 and #3, I monitored my router log to show all iPad network traffic. #2 showed absolutely nothing (as expected), and #3 showed the iPad going to TPA's server when opening the app, and again upon game completion. Unfortunately I did not run the logfile tail during #1 as I hadn't thought of it yet. During the normal course of events, I don't habitually force close apps as they're not supposed to be taking any resources while they're backgrounded -- but a recently-backgrounded app can continue to reserve memory, maintain open network connections, and finish tasks (downloading files, closing files, etc.) if it's so coded. I'm not an Apple developer so don't know the details, but I'm going to be keeping a very close eye on TPA in the coming days and figure out which app(s) are misbehaving. Oh yeah, MadScience -- I'm kinda ambivalent about 7 at this point; after all, I've disabled almost all of its "gee-whiz" features that IMO are there for looks. If I had my druthers I'd go back to 6 but reality is gonna force me to the latest version at some point (and I hafta support quite a few non-techie people), so it might as well be now. :^/ [/QUOTE]
