GameSalad speed performance on latest updates

kapser

Hopefully my question won't be too vague.

I bought GameSalad a while ago (before pro version appeared) and it seemed pretty fast. I started a big project, but since it stopped supporting first generation ipods, I couldn't test my game for a little while.

A few updates later, GameSalad improved in many ways, but I now I got my hand on more recent iphones/ipad and had FPS performance issues on both. The prototypes that used to run smooth on a 1st generation itouch now ran slow on a 3rd generation iphone, so I had to put my project on hold because of bad framrate when using too many actors.

My question is: I haven't used GameSalad since and I was wondering if there was speed improvements in the newest 9.2 release. I'm not yet ready to renew my lisences if my game still doesn't run smooth so any informations would be helpful.

Thanks.

GS is free now, so you can download .9.92 and test yourself without a problem. You only need to buy pro for $299 to remove the splash screen or to use the pro features.

Thanks but unless I'm mistaken I think I need an apple lisence to test on the actual device. I renewed twice already and failed releasing my games on time so I'm waiting to get more into it before getting another year.

Edit: btw the game run smooth on a mac, it gets laggy only on the handheld devices.
