Recent App Store reviews say that iOS 10.2 broke H:SA. It crashes frequently now. While not good in itself, maybe it will cause 343 or Vanguard to revisit the game and fix the achievements while there at it.
Anyone having issues with H:SA or H:SS on iOS 10.2? I don’t have the games myself to check.
Now that the game is completely broken on updated iOS10 devices, I wonder if we will finally get a response to these unobtainable achievements as well.
If this thread somehow became popular enough it may catch attention but not enough of the community cares about acheevos let alone the iOS port of Spartan assault
I think that at least some of the devs care about achievements, but apparently their managers do not. At least not enough to assign a team to fix them. To me, it’s even more glaring that the Chinese HMCC has had 4 unobtainable achievements since launch. That was developed by 343 themselves, so they ought to be able to fix that.
For Spartan Assault, I don’t even know if Vanguard exists anymore. Their Twitter feed is certainly dead. Hmm, this press release says they restructured to become a virtual and augmented reality company. That does not bode well for them going back to fix HSA iOS. Or HSS iOS either, since I believe it crashes also in iOS 10.2. Well, I just tried tweeting the new company. I doubt it will help, but worth a shot.
Almost 200 posts and 1.5 years later and no acknowledgement of this issue by 343i. Even worse is that both of these games are completely broken on the newest version of iOS. This is a really poor indicator how the first party studios at Microsoft support their older titles.
Considering this hasn’t been fixed almost two years later, I can’t blame those who are less than optimistic. Why would 343i bother to fix these problems now?
