I have plenty of space, though that shouldn't matter. And this Ipad runs plenty of other memory heavy applications with no problem (including avernum eftp), so the problem is clearly with avadon. It is too bad the appe store does not do refund!

I made some changes in iOS settings:

Turned off all search indexing in General-->Spotlight Search

Deleted an old VPN profile

airplane mode

turned off location settings

deleted facebook

hit the gym

turned off icloud backup

turned off mail push

turned off mail preview

turned off imessage

clear data and cookies in safari

turned off music-->home sharing

 

The pauses are now reduced significantly to 1-2 seconds, which is still too much I think.

I did try killing background apps, and turning down quality settings in Avadon, with no change in the problem. It is worth noting that between pauses, there is no slowness of animations and such, it appears to run perfectly except between combat turns.

It is interesting that you say it worked fine in Ipad 1... this makes me think it must not be inherently a problem in the game.

Perhaps there is some wasteful process in the background, which is not represented by an app and so not shown when one double-taps home? Mail checking, or wifi syncing, or who knows what... It is too bad iOS doesn't include some kind of resource manager.

This is a huge problem for me (on ipad 2), it is literally stopping me from playing the game. I do not understand why there is not more complaint, especially if the problem exists on PC as well. This game is unplayable.

Freezing of several seconds, every turn of combat, this really disrupts the continuity of the game, and makes it extremely tedious to make any progress.

I have never programmed any game before but there is clearly some flaw in the combat system if it must do this every turn. It is worth pointing out there is no such problem on avernum for ipad (or any other sws game I had played.)
