Locking up while mining

[jamminben]

Aurora Feint has been a fun game! Until now...

It's started locking up in the middle of mining and I have to do a hard-reboot (hold down the top button and the home button until the apple logo appears) to get out. When I go back in, the mining session is lost and I have to start over. Since this has no happened 10 times in a row, I basically can't play anymore.

I can't really tell what is causing it specifically. There's no combination of things I'm doing that I can narrow down. I tend to turn the phone upside-down a lot to shake more blocks onto the screen.

I don't know what other information would be useful. I'm Enlightened Level 3, have maxed out the Magic Books and am about half-way through the Blueprints.

I am having exactly the same problem. I get about half way through mining to level-up and the program crashes. It is really annoying. I am doing the same thing - as in turning it upside down a lot to get more blocks - maybe this is the problem? But it's WAY too slow waiting for the block to appear at the bottom. Will this issue be fixed in 1.0.1.2??

I'm having a problem where I have reach the end of a level and the game tells me I have to buy challenges or continue mining. No matter what i choose I am sent back to the mining screen which continues forever, never finishing. I do not have an arrow at the top left either toexit screen. Not to mention I cannot go to my character or anything. This is after update 1.01. I had an error from Itunes when it was downloading the update. However, I was able to download afterwards, but allmy game data was lost.

Use two fingers, touch the screen, slide up. It makes it move one level up each time. It actually tells you that when you first play.

OK, now back to figuring out how to get those cool avatars...

This freeze sounds rather nefarious. Do you know if the game is generating any crash logs on your device that you can send us?

puma We have not done anything to specifically address this issue in 1.0.1.2. I wasn't aware of it. If I can figure it out though, I'll issue another update.

I'm having the same problem with locking up while mining. Where do you look for crash logs on the iPhone? Is there a crash file? I am using a 16g 3G iPhone.

I agree with the person above who says that it basically shuts down game play because you can never get out of the mine. I too have had multiple crashes while in the mine. No rhyme or reason that I can see.

I think there should be that screen where it asks you whether to go to the store or not. After you level up.

Is there a solution to this. Same problem. Locks up while mining. I removed game and reloaded and still same problem. Running latest version of game, iPhone and iTunes.

Check for crash logs. Then you know whether this is programming or system or hardware problem.

[dahipbone]

Thank you for replying. I checked....no crash logs. Another suggestion??

I having the same problem and sent in my Crash logs, Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon...

Hi folks!
Just upgraded to the latest version and I have got this problem now. Never had it before. Also I get a static noise in the music which is new too.

iPod Touch 2.1.1 firmware
No crash log generated (Edit: Sorry just found them, will submit)
Locks up during mining

It is enough with a soft restart. But when I come back it has lost all the mined resources and I get back to the screen where I was before the mining session.

For me it was the upgrade that started it.

Also just upgraded to latest version.....and for me the problem continues
