    The change in view is instantaneous and large, it's not as if I tapped a bit hamfistedly.

    MFi problems?

    Anyone else have problems using an MFi controller?
    In the settings app it says my Stratus XL is connected, but I can't seem to get it to work in Talos.
    Any suggestions?

    I fear it's not "idiot-proofed:

    Hello devs!

    The game crashes right in the loading splash screen (robot with cat) after a few seconds.
    Then I'm back @ the iOS home screen.
    Deactivating Bluetooth or Wifi doesn't help, neither restarting the device. Unplayable at the moment for me.
    Any ideas?

    Thx. Lezrock

    What device are you playing on, and what iOS version are you using?
    We actually deployed a patch last night that solved some issues with iPad Air and iPad Pro. Could you give that a go if you are using those devices?

    If not, please drop me a line at [email protected] and we'll see what we can do to make things right.

    Are you planning to add Road to Gehenna DLC? Update 1.2, my game become laggy AFTER 25 min of gameplay. Iphone SE (iOS 11.03)was extremely hot then slowdowns appeared, thermal throttling maybe?

    Hi guys,

    I'm looking to pick this one up, but the battery drain is a major concern. I got a 6S, anyone have an idea on how much battery it drains from say, 1 hour of play?

    Also, any tips to saving batteries other than playing on low brightness?

    Thanks.

    Playing on an SE and the drain is pretty damn significant, I'm afraid. I'd say it uses a single % of battery per minute, maybe? I'm not exactly sure.

    Damn, that does sound bad. My normal charger recharges around the same rate...

    Okay, I can confirm my initial estimate is pretty much accurate on about 25% brightness. 12% in 11 minutes.

    I’m downloading The Talos Principle while typing this, partly because of the hype and also because I like to have a flagship game when I get a new phone, and I just upgraded my falling apart 6+ for the 8. Very excited. I was drawn to the “Epoch” vibe of controlling a robot protagonist. This really does feel like the successor to the Infinity Blade, Epoch line of flagship games.

    Say, any word on plans to also port the Gehenna expansion? That would satisfy my completionist compulsions.

    Here we go. Thx to the dev team for listening and answering to my crash report (via email) and fixing it so fast.
    Now the build 1.3 is perfectly running on my device (iPad mini 4 iOS 9.3.5) for 2h.
    Those 2h did "cost" me about 60% battery. I consider this normal for a 3D game.
    Awesome Game! It sucked me in ;-)

    I'm having a blast (8 hours so far), but after the latest update the issue with the camera has gotten worse. It changes randomly quite often, like once every 2 minutes.

    How to run with Virtual joystick turned on

    I love this game and I also love the virtual controls. But could someone please explain to me how to run when using the virtual joystick? It’s been driving me crazy and I would greatly appreciate any help on the subject.

    On a side note: I also have the problem reported in this thread, where the camera suddenly looks up. Playing on an iPhone 6s+ on the latest iOS and game version. Also sometimes weird flickering issues after playing for 30-60minutes or so.

    Just figured it out...
    For anyone having the same issue: You need to change your ‘player speed’ from the default ‘slow’ setting to ‘fast’ in options->game options. Now it’s an absolute joy to play with the virtual joystick!
