Current Modern War Crash Status Update

[Agent Orange]

You talk about 32 bit OS-s. More memory is available in 64 bit OS-s.

You know you might have good point, I've been suspecting it's got something to do with new command sets in IOS 8 but what if it's something fundamentally stupid like they compiled only a 64 bit version and why the older 32 bit devices are all screwed up....

Tadaaah, or Clementine....could either of you possibly hit us with an update this morning?

[chubster]

Two weeks since I had access to the game, two weeks Gree��any chance of an update?? Any chance of a sign that you are even remotely interested in your customers???

Looks like our community manager is too busy today in the other forums to address the minor issues here

From 11/19, Tadaaah said nothing would be addressed until the next major update. I took that to mean that fixing the issues keeping so many from even being able to open their games is on the priority list somewhere below getting the next major new features and WD mechanics change done and live. Unlikely we'll see any attempts at a fix until after 5.0 goes live.

I was able to get my game transferred to my new iPhone 6 about a month ago without any problems. I am running iOS 8.1.1 but I'm currently only running mw version 4.4. I have refused to update to the new version for weeks now. It currently runs wonderful on it with load times of under 10 seconds. Just thought I'd weigh in with the current device and software versions. Sorry so many are having trouble.

i wish they would just re-release 4.4, but they wont

but hey GREE, maybe try to delete all things done to version 4.5.2 and go back to what worked. then try again to get it right for a future version, this is nuts and if i worked for GREE it would be fixed by now, even through Apple. money talks and BS walks, so please no more BS

Hang tight General...the fix is coming.

Good to see you old friend. Take care

Impossible as if they compiled a 64-bit only version it would not run on any devices without 64-bit hardware & 64-bit OS.
Apple to protect their brand would have as part of Appstore release ensured it would not even allow you to download a
64-bit only application to a 32-bit device.

From testing I can state that invisible targets and invisible buildings are a problem at the client (app) level of this game. This drawing issue has plagued low memory Android devices for almost a year. I documented it on this very forum.

The dataset of this game is huge, but that is supposed to prevent huge data transfers between the server and the client (app). Which is why up till now things were actually working fairly well on IOS. But it was mind boggling to check memory allocation and to discover that MW takes up 2GB of space for it's dataset! Yes the app is only 80k but it's that massive datafile that is causing the problems as devices cannot handle it properly. Mainly older slower devices with limited available memory.

I do also see the point about the Airplane issue being the cause of more problems, mainly that the client keeps wanting to sync with the server to prevent this type of fraudulent use. I get that, mainly because the original design was meant to be more autonomous but in doing so it opened the client up to hacking.

It does also seem as if Gree has downgraded their server(s) running this game. Likely because they want to put the better hardware on apps that are making the most profit. Also does not bode well for this app….

When IOS 8 came out and Gree updated the app to 4.5.x is when things went off the rails. Although I was seeing a lot of crashing on our 1st gen iPad before these changes. But with 4.5.x came the locking out of a lot more IOS devices. Basically it looks like any device not running IOS 8.1.x is either locked out completely or experiencing a high failure rate.

Why Gree has not rolled back the app is beyond me unless they successfully also crapped the server side as well when they started to make these changes, in other words what is on the server may have changed in format and therefore might not be able to be rolled back. In which case that could account for such a slow painful process. Or as others have speculated the programmer doing the work on this game is incompetent, granted my money is on upper and middle management.

I will say bogus on the belief of server cost as GREE use Amazon EC2 to run their games. So they are not saving money from that, now GREE
may be using their owe servers to do MW data set deploys as Amazon charges a fee for the amount of data sent from an EC2 server instance to
any connected device outside of the Amazon EC2 clusters. Apply to be a GREE third party developer the informatinformation they provide about
how to interact with the GREE platform is enlightenin.

You mean like the way the app (4.5.2) crashes when run on older non 64 bit devices......

Yes one would think it would be colossaly stupid to make such a mistake and that Apple would have caught it however it is gree we are talking about...

No as in because it is looking for 64 bit shared or dynamic libraries that do not exist the error would be
pretty self evident as it would not even get to that point the binary will not execute. And Apple, Google &
other AppStore already have the framework in place when you package up an app.

Did anyone else get another download as they tried to open modern war? Was that the solution that we have been waiting for? It didn't work. I am still locked out.

[Bobar]

Seems they switched 3% into +3 health regen.
+20% health regen went to -10% health regen
New threatening NPC
Boss event

At least they did not start events only

(Still would prefer gree postpone them until further notice and fixed stable version)

[General Lea]

no update here to try yet

[Bambamgunz]

Where's the spinner to let us know next update being worked on. Its been 2 weeks already since i have been able to enjoy playing MW.
