OS 4.0 BIG PROBLEM NO REALLY BIG

vegasmike1

Its either a really big issue or I am drunk. (not)
Here is the issue:
I have a touch, a pad and phone The phone has 4.0 on it, the other two of course dont. The game that I am trying to finish, works fine on all 3 devices, but on the phone with 4.0 when I QUIT the game with the little button on the bottom of the phone, all is good, the phone continues to work. But if I then restart the game expecting it to go to the first screen it loads right where I left off. There are 10 puzzle levels, if you dont solve the puzzle you get tossed back to a too bad screen, but if you quit from that point, it comes right back to that point. Everything works but the game now is kind of stuck, in that you can get out of any level, but not with the software, mechanisim like touch this button to go back to some other screen, cause I hate this level, that is not in the code, but I assume that if people become frustrated with the puzzle and want to go to another game they will just push the hardware quit button, I did that, loaded another game, but when I went back to my game, it came right back to the point that I hardware exited the game. This is NOT COOL, or I am drunk but so drunk I dont even realize it. Anybody else had this issue.

Could you not have a 'menu' button in each level that takes you back to your main screen?

And fo r the record, I'm unbearably wonderful right now too!

Quantumwonderful, Yep I can do that, already did it in fact, but the problem is that if someone quits the game, with the hardware button then it comes back to the same place like its doing "GAME AUTOSAVE ON HARDWARE EXIT" This is either a GS bug with a 8,7 game going to 8.8 or its a feature of 4.0 no one told me about. Either way, there is another problem. I have this level where planes are flying over shooting at you, they are spawn actors, when you hardware exit and the game goes into what ever its going into, it keeps playing the game, it does not know it quit, so if you restart the game, and it comes back into battle bliz, the planes that have been spawing have put like 100 bullets on the screen, and the whole thing is a huge mess.
I want my blanket and a 5th or Yager....
How about Yoda, have you guys seen this.

The game is large it is about 12 megs, with about 250 actors, but in 8.7 all was good on exit in 4.0, now its hosed. Hosed is Canadian for AFU.

Tshirt god, that is so good, now my game is all happy and warm, and does everyone know this little ditty, or we should indeed broadcast this fact to all unsuspecting game salad makers of good games. I did the double tap as you suggested and found out that I had almost everything looming in the phone. Whew, problem solved thanks a ton. Now where do I send you a I AM A BAD ASS IPHONE KNOWLEDGE PERSON Tshirt, I will whip it up with Unity.....HEHEHEHE

This is why we need PAUSE! Really, if I want to quit a game, I hit pause, select quit... if I have to hit the home button, that will suck as I may not be wanting to start the game from where I left off (especially if a load of enemies have spawned).

I just did the double button thing and realized I have about 80 things hanging around,. duh duh duh, oh well, its still a big duh, this is not multitask its like multi pause, sort of. Thanks for every ones help.
