Same will happen will XCOM anytime now. iPadisGreat Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2012 2,391 0 0 #10 iPadisGreat, Nov 27, 2013 That is crappy. I downloaded it last night as I missed the previous sale. I will just leave it alone until XCom gets patched then... Amenbrother Well-Known Member Jun 24, 2011 6,659 7 38 #11 Amenbrother, Nov 27, 2013 Is this worth $10 guys? Pipipitchu Well-Known Member May 4, 2013 1,644 0 0 Civil Servant Rio de Janeiro, Brazil #12 Pipipitchu, Nov 27, 2013 It's worth $20 (the price I've paid). And I'm more serious than a heart attack. senkoujin Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2013 417 0 16 #13 senkoujin, Nov 27, 2013 Actually, it's worth more than that IMO. Also, the poster who said they had iPad Mini issues...this is likely due to iOS 7.x.x being your current firmware. I'm running the game on iPad 2 iOS 5.x.x....I won't deny that the game crashes from time to time, but I can tell you that it hardly EVER crashed on me on the battlefield. The only time it crashes on me is when you complete a mission (specifically during the CGI sequence of the ship flying back to XCOM HQ), and that happens maybe 2/10 of the time. So overall, I really don't have anything to gripe about. Blame Apple (Cook) for allowing installation of the notorious iOS 7.x on older devices. IMO, it should only be allowed for the latest A7 chipset....but the iPad4's A6X seems to be fairing well with it also. The RAM is very important, and I just don't know why Apple is being so stingy with increasing it. iPadisGreat Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2012 2,391 0 0 #14 iPadisGreat, Nov 27, 2013 Wait, is that issue with the iPad Mini or retina iPad Mini? Mine is the retina Mini, so I can test if you tell me what the bug is. senkoujin Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2013 417 0 16 #15 senkoujin, Nov 27, 2013 ^: This is the post from the person who had trouble with this game on the iPad Mini. Although not specified, I honestly believe that he is experiencing the 'issues' on the original iPad Mini (non-Retina Display). Drucifer Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2010 1,568 1 38 Canada #16 Drucifer, Nov 27, 2013 My bad, I'm burnt. I didn't read that it said it started tomorrow. And the reports I heard never specified iPad Mini Retina or 1st Gen. I'll pick it up while on sale hoping for an update though. If nothing gets fixed at least I'll have it for when I upgrade to the Retina Mini.
