Current Modern War Crash Status Update

[corey0025]

It's already been posted they can not roll back to 4.4, apparently not an option.

Indeed. But there shouldnt be any reason why the next upgrade were to contain the 4.4 code... I'm sure we'd have to reload our data but that's a small price to pay.

Further to my previous post, I have put a message on our faction board. Out of 55 accounts in the faction, there are replies from 5 people so far:-

iPhone 5 latest iOS update. The last 3 Gree updates are a bloody disaster.
Original iPad, I'm experiencing all sorts of problems
iPhone 5c having lots of lag and some freezing
Ipad 2 which is freezing and with loads of lag
iPad and cannot load the game

Just theses 5 replies represent a 9% sample having problems. Some have not yet tried to update owing to the problems others have. Some people will not have yet seen the message and replied.

I think Gree are well underestimating the extent of the problem.

my iPad2 hangs with every action taken. my ios version is just before the recent update. the game is just becoming overly time consuming to play unsustainably. why must the program communicate with game server for every action taken, especially stuff like vaulting your money...

With apologies to "The Doors"

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some strangers hand
In a desperate land

Lost in a GREEdy wilderness of pain
And All the players are insane
All the players are insane
Waiting for the next update, yeah

I couldn't say for sure but is it me or is it only iOS devices that are affected?

It is only iOS that are affected.

Yes that is correct. I've heard one droid user complain of issues.

[Adm. J(K96)]

I've asked several times why using the 4.4 data can't be done, but have yet to get an answer beyond "Because".

[Corporal Punishment 2]

It is only iOS that are affected.

And would I be correct in thinking that it's iOS users who are struggling with the game freezing?

[Adm. J(K96)]

iOS are the only users seeing any problems.

There is no reason why not. People have not updated from 4.4 and are running fine. Standard change control process should ensure a backout or rollback plan. With version controlling it would be normal to either roll back the code and version or remove the errant/new code and increment the version number.

Doing this for a living, I speak from experience.

It strikes me from reading this thread that GREE could do far worse than to enrol some help from the people posting the more constructive comments here.

How do I be a tester. Id like to help so these things can be improved upon in future

[Web323]

Game is completely unplayable right now for me (iOS). 2 minutes to login, data being used at a crazy rate when not on wifi, and 3 minutes for NPCs to load. Thank you for ruining the game once again

Agreed that they should have a backup of previous versions on their end. I dont see why they cant roll back the code and name it 4.6 so that apple can approve the package. Worst case, if apple doesnt like this way of doing things, i cant believe they wouldnt be able to make exceptions for exceptionnal circumstances!
