App running slowly between scenes

natclarke

I have just tested my universal app on the iphone 6.

Currently I have large background scenes of 1536 x 2048 that can be selected so I can't slice the background.

Banner sizes of 1536 x 300

How do I make it run faster. At points it takes about 3-5 seconds between scenes to load.

I would like to show quality images but also make it run a lot faster.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

a few tips:

• look up the optimization thread "timers are for chumps" or something to that effect
• try to use spawn techniques for actors....don't preload them on scene
• try to get images and sound down in size

My 2 cents. Good luck

You could reduce the quality of the image - remove some of the elements and/or optimise it in something like Photoshop. Or add a loading screen between scenes.

Are you images divisible by 4 for retina display? Here is a chart done by another GS Dev.
