Game crashing on iOS 26.2 constantly

[jagged sand]

Tried redownloading, didn’t work. Either freezes the whole phone or does this

[steep pagoda]

That's an issue with the phone model
Not the game

[jagged sand]

Confused by that statement. The game is crashing, why wouldn’t it be an issue with the game? Even if it’s specific to a model/OS and there’s incompatibility it’s still a bug.

[dawn onyx]

then Unity will have to figure that out, not the single person developing this game
still, it works on other iOS so it's far more likely something that Apple has to fix

I get it one person, but this is a place for bug reports and this is the only game where I am having this issue. I’m on a 17 pro not a 16 like that comment. Not sure why the hostility, I just want to play the game but whatever.

[dawn onyx]

more info is good info, thank you

[cold silo]

just popping in to say im having the exact same issue, so i doubt its a phone model issue

[cold rampart]

I am on a iphone SE it works

[dawn onyx]

is your OS also iOS 26?

[indigo verge]

17 pro, same issue after updating to 26.2

[dawn onyx]

one google later:

yep, looks like it's a Unity issue.

[sage pasture]

It’s definitely worse in the latest iOS 26.

[jagged sand]

Yeah I’m just sad I can’t play at all, especially after dropping around $15 the past few weeks.

[noble hound]

Have the same issue too but it doesn’t happen that often, maybe once or twice a day

[keen hedge]

Same issue iphone 17 pro iOS 26.2

Happens every session, but randomly. Sometimes after 10 seconds, sometimes a minute, sometimes 10 minutes. Very random

I just played for 15 and had it freeze 3 times

Ill check if I can share crash logs

I have a lot of logs showing GPUevent:

1. Bug type 284 - This is specifically an IOFence timeout error
   2. Process: IdleSlayer - Your game is the affected process
   3. IOFence surfaces blocked - The system is waiting on GPU resources that aren’t becoming available
   4. restart_reason_desc: “blocked by IOFence” - The process was restarted due to this timeout

(Analyzed with Claude) can provide more details for dev if needed, but it matches the issue we’re having

[jagged sand]

What does that mean for someone that understood none of it lol

[dawn onyx]

Considering that it's something that an AI put out and we already had a Unity employee post about the issue and a workaround, it's worse than nothing.

[cinder nexus]

i joined to report this same thing, the first time it happened it made my phone restart? but it’s been getting more frequent, happened like 6 times today 💔 very fun game tho

[keen hedge]

That’s why my message was directed towards the dev. Hope it helps with a solution and get you back to getting your 15$ worth out of the game on your phone. I’m happy to help btw. Appreciate your support

[keen hedge]

Also considering most people just say “lol get a different phone”. Yeah i’d say some of us are just focused on helping to find a solution

[dawn onyx]

again, gen-AI is less than worthless.

[jagged sand]

What’s the workaround? I’m just someone trying to play the game and I don’t understand why you’re being so antagonistic to someone trying to help.

I don’t know Unity, I don’t know coding. All I know is the game is completely unplayable for me right now.

[dawn onyx]

it's something for the dev to look at, if Unity doesn't already have it fixed.

here's the link to the Unity thread again, but for us users there isn't a whole lot we can do about it.
(aside from not using iOS 26... which isn't really an option as far as I understand.)

[jagged sand]

Ok. Then I’m glad I posted it here since it is a bug and it sounds like they can look at it. Understand it may be specific to some IOS users but, as the other person said, I posted it here and people blamed me for having my phone.

It’s just been a weird, oddly hostile experience posting in here. I don’t really get it

[high mauve]

Just coming in here to say that I love this game!!! I am also having the same issue on IOS 26.2 (and even in the previous update as well). I’ve been trying to discern if there’s a particular action I’m doing to lead to the bugs but I think it’s just because god hates me🥲 ty all for your service 🫡

[mighty violet]

they are so rude right

i’m having the same issue

[sullen yew]

THIS IS WHY YOU DONT DOWNLOAD UNFINISHED UPDATES KIDS-

[jagged sand]

I’m not on a beta for anything, the game or iOS

[dawn onyx]

the beta is android-only, you're good
also this has been going on way longer than the beta which was two days ago.

[sullen yew]

i thought the ios 26 was unfinished

oh well

[vale kiln]

please let me know if this still happens in the new iOS version @sullen yew

@jagged sand

[sullen yew]

will do but ive intentionally avoided downloaded the ios 26 update ill download it tonight though

[jagged sand]

Thanks for the response (really do love the game). Downloaded the update, will keep you updated!

[vale kiln]

@here let me know if it's fixed

[jagged sand]

Don’t want to curse it but so far it’s been really stable

[noble hound]

Haven’t noticed it yet as well

[mighty violet]

didn’t notice it yet too

i guess it’s fixed
