Laggy as hell
I can't believe i'm the only person to post a topic on this....but my complaints have been heard regarding game of thrones on ios....but borderlands issues on ios for ipod 5 are exactly the same....super laggy, slow, repeatedly dialogue, etc.
when will there be a new update to fix these issues? the game was fine until the last update that completely made the gameplay go to hell...it's now unplayable.

am I ever going to get an answer from telltale on this? sure you said there are 'minor' differences between itouch 5 and iphone 5 (very minor mind you - and I also emailed apple to ask them if playing certain app games like borderlands/GoT would be better played on one or the other ipod or iphone - so we will get to the bottom of this)....Regardless of that, my point still remains, there was never a disclaimer about itouch5 just ITOUCH 4 (BIG difference).
so you guys increased the graphics, but that screwed over the gameplay and made the bugs/issues exactly like game of thrones (repeated dialogue repeated dialogue, lag, freezing, LOOOOOONG load screens, etc.)....I want my OLD borderlands game back that I originally purchased from the app store and worked perfectly FINE before you did that stupid update without thinking it through first.
you want to update the graphics? fine. but it should NEVER compromise the gameplay - if you can't play the game then WHO CARES about the graphics? I mean really. are you guys really going to force me to buy the bleeping game on PC again just like for Game of Thrones?
there's a lot of shadiness going on around here with telltale - the problem is I actually like the games and gameplay but I swear by my words I will continue low-rating the games and spreading word of mouth about all these glitches until they are resolved.
you guys finally released a statement about game of thrones in fixing it....now I want one about borderlands.
K...clearly telltale doesn't care about it's ios customers (ipod touch 5th gen to be specific) and that is why I don't get answer.
that's fine - I will do exactly what I did with game of thrones with borderlands.
still no response still no response still no response (repeated sentences in borderlands is EXTREMELY ANNOYING! just do the same thing you did with Game of Thrones on IOS with borderlands...problem solved.
My apologies, unfortunately Game of Thrones and Tales From The Borderlands share the same minimum required specifications. While the iPod Touch 5th Gen device is able to run the game, you may experience graphical and/or performance issues during gameplay such as the ones you have described. To increase the performance of your device, please make sure you have closed any and all applications running in the background. (To close an app running in the background on iOS 6 and before: double tap the home button to make all running apps appear at the bottom of the screen, hold down on an app you wish to close and red buttons will appear, tap the red buttons to close the apps. If on iOS 7/8, double tap the home button and swipe up on the open apps to close them) Also, please turn off your iOS device for at least three minutes before attempting to play the game again. This will allow the device’s cache to clear.
Then after restarting your device, please reset the WiFi by turning the WiFi Settings Off, and back On again. Then try starting the game application again, and see if the performance issues are improved, or even resolved.
I will make sure to pass your feedback and interest in updating Tales From The Borderlands, along to the team though!
thank you, telltale mike..
another little thing I noticed that maybe you guys can fix or help me with....when I go into settings and extra's, it no longer show's "choices made"...for some reason it went away because it definitely used to be there...and ive tried starting a new save slot/game and it still doesn't show anything about the choices I make.
Can you please clarify if you were connected to a WiFi network connection either while playing through the entire episode, or when completing the episode? You will need to be connected to a WiFi network in order for your choices/stats page to update and show you your current choices page.
ok so apparently the choices only show if you are connected to the internet for some reason? I guess that's fine as it isn't a huge deal...
however, now i'm having another issues - I've come to terms with the fact that the game will run slower and lag on my itouch 5 (at least until they come out with a newer version already!), but there's this part that I can't get past now because the 'download' screen just stays on forever (I literally waited 30 minutes - that's more than enough, agreed?)...and it KEEPS happening at the part when you meet Shade and he's taking you to see August when playing as Rhys...as soon as it goes to the 'Download' screen it just stays there and the game basically freezes....and yes, I've tried turning it off, letting it stay off, turning off my wifi, etc. etc. but it keeps doing the same thing.
can you guys please look into this and find a solution/fix?
thank you for your help.
PS. the PC version of tales of borderlands I bought directly from the telltale website doesn't show any items in the 'inventory screen' (like the briefcase, stun baton, etc.)...why is this? it even shows all that inventory in my crappy itouch ios version. I bought the PC version so I would have the best version on the market.
My apologies, unfortunately if you have already tried closing any and all apps running in the background, and turning your device off to clear it's cache, I do not have any other potential solutions for you to try on your particular device. I recommend contacting Apple Support, and see if they have any other suggestions on how to improve the performance of your device so that you can play the game successfully.
If you are experiencing any issues with the PC version not functioning correctly, can you please clarify if you have tried rewinding to the point before you receive those items in the inventory, then playing through until you receive those items again? They should now show up properly in your inventory.
