We have submitted a crucial update to make your multiplayer experience better. We are hopeful that the update would go live before the App Store Freeze on 23rd Dec. You can find the list of changes below:
LOBBY IMPROVEMENT
===================
- Added a whistle sound when someone joins your game
- iOS 4.x Multitask support: Create a new game then put Soctics into the background. You will be informed by a notification message and a whistle sound whenever someone joins your game.
MULTIPLAYER IMPROVEMENTS
=========================
- Cheats eliminated! When a player disconnects from a game by any means, he has 20 seconds to re-join. Failing to do so will register a win to the remaining player ingame, and a loss to the disconnected player
- Incoming calls, notifications, texts no longer make the game quit
- Giveup or timeout does not count as a loss in the first 2 rounds, regardless of the score standings
- iOS 4.x Multitask support: Now you can even answer an incoming call. If you return to the game within 20 seconds, the game will resume where you left. If you fail to return to the game within 20 seconds, you will automatically lose the match
NOTES
======
- devices with iOS 3.x still can not answer incoming calls without losing the current multiplayer game (we are working on it)
