When IOS Updates affect your Game

This may be of interest to anyone who has a game on the app store.

I released my open world wilderness Nimian Legends : BrightRidge last summer, and am abot to release a new HD version for metal devices.

Recently a few comments started to mention the trees flickering blue. I was like what’s up with that?

Last week i upgraded some devices to IOS 8.4 and yes, some of my trees now flicker.

It’s the first time ive seen, or even considered, that an IOS update could affect a game already on the app store.

Im downloading Unity 4 and digging up my old files to try and make an update to fix it. It shouldn’t be too hard because the other tree species are still ok, it only affected the conifers so there must be something in the shader that disagrees with IOS 8.4

Food for thought:)
