Hi!
We've noticed some random glitches in our game. Sometimes, on some phones, a part of the screen flashes black. It seems as if it only happens for one frame, but since it's black it's noticeable. It usually comes from the right side of the screen (landscape mode), covering the full height (320px), and going for about 30-75% of the screen. There doesn't seem to be a regular pattern for this, but it seems it happens most often on a particular screen, which is nothing special except for a few things that I can notice:
- it's a layer with a full-screen background image inserted on top of an existing scene
- there are about 4-5 Labels on the layer, very rapidly changing (it's a tally screen)
Could it have anything to do with those fast-changing labels? I know we're supposed to use AtlasLabels, but this has worked for us so far.
It's a very strange glitch and I really can't find anything that could be causing it (we don't even have any big black images loaded).
I'm using iPhone SDK 3.0 on Snow Leopard, but the app is built for 2.2. We and our publiher have been testing it on a variety of devices, from 2.0 to 3.1, 2g to 3gs and iPod Touches, jailbroken and non-jailbroken ones. It seems it doesn't happen on every device, but we can't find any relationship between the OS version or the device model and the glitch.
It feels like shooting in the dark here, but I was hoping someone could be able to help...
Thanks,
Ivan Galic
