Help character loading keeps crashing HL

Hey there, since the update from August 10, I have trouble loading any and all characters. HL loads as per normal, soon as I select a character the loading pop comes up, aprox 2 mins go by and the software crashes back to the ipad main screen. The program is still active in the program's listed by pressing the home button to see what's still active. I click on it and it takes me to the HL character selection screen. Rinse and repeat and same crash happens.

I have an iPad mini 2 and it worked fine prior to this update.

Thanks,

TF
 
Have you made sure to force close all other programs? It sounds like its running out of RAM and dumping the app.

When an app runs out of memory it will just 'close'. So that is what is happening and each new version of Pathfinder adds more Things and each "Thing" requires memory. Very likely the mini simply may not have enough memory to load Pathfinder anymore especially if you have any extra community "Packs" running.

As Andrew mentions make sure you force close (you can google how to do this if you don't know) all the other apps that are running before starting HL. Give that a try and see if its enough to load a character.

I can say the next release of the HL App goes 64 bit and has several memory convention changes in it. I don't know when exactly that is coming out but its "soon". The next version "should" load better for situations like this.

One last thought is make sure the .por file you are trying to open has only a "single" character in it. Each character will also require more memory. :(
 
No everything is shut down background program wise and kept crashing. I backed up everything and reinstalled HL. Restored my .por, side note great job/idea making HL able to store on Dropbox saved me tons of time, and it seems to be stable and work properly, albeit a bit slower in the loading time. Maybe just a bad automated install of the update on my end?

Thanks for the heads up on the future 64 bit update! And great tip on single character .por.

Thanks muchly!

Check your ipad settings, under general, Usage to see how much available space you've got on the ipad. Ipads start crashing a bit when their memory is nearly full.
