Epic working on fix for Infinity Blade 2 crashes

Epic is working on a fix for an issue causing Infinity Blade II to crash on some iOS devices.

Writing in a post on the Epic forums, company vice president Mark Rein said some iPad and iPod users appear to be running out of memory on heavily app laden devices.

"For example if you have a large number of apps installed iOS must cache all those icons to give you smooth performance when you hit the home button," he said.

"Unfortunately the machines we tested on didn't have massive numbers of apps installed on them so we think this how we think we missed this particular condition.

"We're working on a quick fix and will submit an update to the store as soon as possible. In the meantime we're going to update the description in the iTunes App Store to mention that we're aware of this issue."

Rein added: "One more thing. When apps run of memory at loading time that is something that is often fixed by restarting your device. So I recommend that people try restarting their device to see if that solves it for them. I say this because the game runs fine on my iPad1 which I restarted before playing the game.

"For those experiencing the issue we thank you for your patience!"

Earlier this week, Chair Entertainment co-founder Donald Mustard said the crunch time the Epic-owned studio underwent to finish Infinity Blade II in six months was "not worth the cost" to the team.
