Hi there,

I’m having some trouble on the iPhone 4 where if I show an iAd banner, my game becomes super choppy.
I’m really starting to hate the iPhone 4 these days it seems like i waste so much time getting things to run nicely on it… Does anyone know any tips for getting this to work nicely?

Thanks
Pete

You cannot overlay ANYTHING with iPhone 4 if you want it to be smooth. Gamecenter, iAds, keyboard, they all cause shuttering, freezes etc. with iPhone 4.

4 is no longer being made, so I wouldn’t worry too much. For the 4 (not 4S) just render to a low res buffer, that should fix all your fill rate issues. That device was plagued since day one with it’s crappy little 3GS gpu.
