iOS 4 massively improves GS game load times

Finally feeling safe to try iOS 4 and having a painless 'update' path using itunes 9.2 beta I am amazed to find that the load times of all GS games are around 4-5 seconds. Elsewhere people are reporting this speed increases with GS 0.8.7 but I am finding this with all old 0.8.6 and earlier games....comments please...

    my load times are now about 4-5 seconds but im also on 4.0 and 8.7 so i cant say what one is causing it.

    Gendai i have said that the time delay on start is not by anyway intentional, therefore, if they had done something to speed it up i thought they would of been proud to mention it on the post to say 8.7 is available, so by that reckoning, maybe it is OS 4.0 that is causing the increase? I have no idea, all i now know is that i love the new load times

    i've only had 2 games put on mine since GS 0.8.6 and my load times have always been about 3 seconds even with 0.8.7 and 4.0

    I'm a little disappointed that the increase is from OS4 and not the .8.7. But it's a good thing in the long run. I wonder how fast people will adopt OS4? I've not looked into it, but will OS4 be for the iPod touch as well?

    Yes it will.

    And in a brilliant move, they've made it free for ipod touch users as well (previously, iPod Touch users had to pay a fee for updates, as opposed to iPhone users who got them for free).

    QS :D

    Except, not for 1st Gen iPhone or iPod Touch...

    Hi,

    just wanted to say that the increased loading times are true also for older OS.
    I have a 3G iPhone running 3.1.3 and loading times for my games went from 15/20s to 3/5s.

    Thanks to Gendai for this. I wanted this even more than pause (sorry QS).

    Honestly? It sounds like a happy accident to me. Otherwise they'd be yelling about it, wouldn't they?

    QS :D

    F*** all your successes are making me jealous! :D Anyway, my game with the iOS takes a solid 20 seconds on my 3G. So I am freakin' pissed off!

    I just want to get this game out into the wild and make some money! (and some chicks at school :D :D)

    Cheers, Dragokillz
