Game regularly downloading 700MB assets on launch | Forums

[lister_infiji]

Since Thursday (3 days ago), about 50% of the time that I'm launching the game it is 'downloading assets' of just over 700MB and taking 5 minutes to start.

Not especially happy about this because:
* Can't play the game while out anymore - on PAYG that would cost £7 just to launch the game.
* I had games in the 1980s on cassette tape which loaded faster.

I've been trying to look for patterns but not been able to see anything yet that suggests a difference between when it does and doesn't happen.

Tried the obvious stuff like restarting app and restarting phone.

iPhone 6S.
iOS 12.

I have one of my accounts on iOS, and this usually happens when the phone is very close to not having the huge amount of storage they ask you to have to be able to run the game. Releasing more space seems to stop this but to be honest I don't know if it's a coincidence.

This happens to me sometimes too, and it's for the same reason Void_Away- mentioned. How much free space is currently on your device?
