iOS update is on the way.

Post by singalen »

A somewhat belated (sorry!) update for iOS is in progress.

I'm working on a couple of known bugs:

* When opening Add-Ons screen, if a certain (unknown) add-on is installed, the game crashes.
Known to reproduce on iPad Air 2, maybe on other hardware too. A workaround is to reinstall the game. Save files should be preserved in iCloud (see known bug 2), but add-ons will need to be reinstalled.
If someone is kind enough to tell which add-ons they installed before the crash, it would be great.
If someone is even more kind to reinstall them one-by-one and report the offending add-on(s), this will likely resolve the matter.

* Save files in iCloud are lost sometimes. Well, not really lost, but become invisible because of index file synchronization conflict.

* The promised classic control schema (like in the Legacy version) is more difficult than it seemed. Not sure if it can be delivered soon.

Will the game also be updated to 1.14.17, or 1.16.0 when it gets released? Thanks!

New player here, I tried out Wesnoth on my iPhone for the first time last week and the game is fantastic!

Very grateful to know that a fix for the "Save files in iCloud are lost sometimes." issue is in the works; this bug rendered the game unplayable for me, as I couldn't pick up where I had left off. (Though, also good to know that the saves aren't actually lost.)

Thank you!

Any update on when the iCloud index file sync conflict will be resolved, of if there is a workaround? Half way through a long campaign and unable to continue and now I have to do actual real work!

“Any update on when the iCloud index file sync conflict will be resolved, of if there is a workaround?” I don’t know if it’s the same issue, but my phone randomly moves saves to iCloud. I have to go to Files>iCloud>Wesnoth>Saves and click them to restore them to my phone.

I'd suggest joining Wesnoth's IRC or Discord if you're interested.

The iOS port is unmaintained at this point, due to there no longer being anyone to maintain it.
