This will stop about 99% of the local hack attacks of a save file.įor those who are willing to edit files and create accompanying hashes, the 2nd layer defense comes into play, the system uses some level of encryption to obfuscate the hash. So mail it to your friend(s) for them to watch the game turn from 'your' perspective.Ģ) People cannot create or edit the save file themselves, because:Ī) when you modify the save file, you generate your (customized) SHA-1 or MAC hash.ī) to load a save file successfully, it must take the file and recreate the hash which must match the one given from when the file was last modified. The save file can be done in the clear, i.e., a simple text file.ġ) You can email the save file around, to another system for example, for replayability. I think you can allow the local save if you use something like an encrypted MAC/SHA-1 on the save file. When will the update for iOS be out? Just curious. Its annoying though to kill a tank in a tight battle and then lose the turn because I forgot to save invariably when I reload I can't hit crap (I've started saving now to protect those moments).Īll in all I love the game, money well worth it. I really like that the RNG instead of a PsuedoRNG is different every time, i.e., just because you fire and kill the tank this time, doesn't mean when you reboot you will fire and kill that tank. and reboot knowing all the enemy locations from the free scouting. I also understand the playability effect.if you know that this is how it behaves you can load the game, send all your units off on suicide missions, find where all the enemy units are and then close BA, open Safari, etc. I have started saving as I go and that usually works fine, no problem. I would prefer that it save locally as it goes, I think this would alleviate some of the issue. This is pretty rare, however, as in only happened once.ģ) After the turn, if I enter in a large amount of text in the comments window (5-6 lines of text) then the game freezes, screen blanks and goes back to title page.Ĥ) After the turn, if I hit the backspace key a lot in the comments window (erasing a sentence for example) then the game freezes as above.ĥ) Again rarely (as in once) I have had the game freeze/blank when I hit the submit button. When I reopen BA, I get a quick white screen flash and then the opening page.Ģ) Rarely, if I simply close BA (and do nothing) then when I reopen BA it erases as above. Circumstances in which it manifests:ġ) If I close BA and open another application (Safari, Angry Birds, iTunes, etc.) then whatever I was playing in BA is erased. I too have been having this issue or one very similar to it. Updated iOS recently, several weeks ago so the firmware is recent. Any and all flags from the automated system are checked by a real person to ensure that only actual cheaters are penalised. With regard to the email, I am sure you can see that we want to prevent cheating, and the game can't tell whether it crashed at some prior point or not, so please don't take offence. Windows Vista: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter/MobileDevice/.Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter/.Mac OS X : ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/. If you are able, post a crash log for me and I can be more precise. Is there any common pattern to when it does verses does not crash? My guess would be some kind of memory issue, so you could try killing off anything else still living in memory before playing any turns (double tap the home button, then hold, then zap all those resident apps!). This is not something that has been reported before to my knowledge. What exactly happens when you go to submit a turn? Do you get an error message etc.
