Bug report: temporary freeze, repair drones gone

[Paul]

Hi,

thanks for getting in touch, we’ve had a couple of reports of this problem, and am currently doing my best to track it down

I have a couple of questions:

1. How long was the pause approximately?
2. Did it happen when the music changed back to normal after a boss wave?
3. What number wave were you on?

thanks!

1. The pause was of a few seconds, I’d say 10 or less.

2. No. It was in the middle of a flying critters wave, I don’t remember the exact type.

3. If I recall correctly, it was wave 22. When I remembered to take a screenshot it was already wave 23. I have a screentshot of this wave, but it’s foot soldiers.

thanks for the extra info. After looking at the wave patterns, they go like this:

wave 20: boss wave
wave 21: flying
wave 22: arachnid
wave 23: mutant

so, it looks like the flyers do actually come after a boss. My current thinking is that it is related to switching music, which happens a few seconds into the wave after a boss wave, as it takes time for the music to fade out.

OK, even though I’ve never actually managed to reproduce the bug myself, I’ve put in plenty of countermeasures to stop the game jumping and enemies/repair drones flying off. These fixes will be in the next update, and I hope they will alleviate the problem!

Hi guys!

Love the game, but I noticed that after the last update I’m also getting the temporary freeze, although it happens in all game modes.

I got out my trusty stop-watch and noticed that it regularly happens every 60 seconds in the game. It doesn’t seem to matter if I’m touching the screen, have my hands off, or even in the pause menu. Just like clockwork, the game will "freeze" for about 5 seconds then come back to life. After each freeze the game also automatically switches to the pause screen (maybe it’s trying to be polite?).

If you’ve got any suggestions on how to fix this please let me know. I’m Sentinel 3 (1.1.4) on Android 3.2 (Acer Iconia A500).

One quick side question…. where on Android is the save-game data? I wanted to try re-installing the game to see if that fixes it but before I delete everything I would really like to backup my progress.

Update: Looks like it went away on 1.1.6 (was still present up to 1.1.5)
