Slower due to Ipad iOS 17.4

[BeezBumba]

When I updated my Ipad to 17.4 I went to my remixed emulator of yours and it started to lag much more than last time. I even tried yours, but it still resulted into a really laggy experience. I don’t know if it’s the update or if it’s something else.

I was also on safari if that helps with anything.

Were you able to fix this? I didn't test on 17.4 yet

[BeezBumba]

No, but it might need tweaking on the webkit feature flags for safari I believe. I’m not sure but it might be a way.

Yeah I just tried it this morning on 17.4 on my iPhone 13 mini and can confirm it is really laggy now. Seems like Apple changed something in Safari. I will also play around with the feature flags and see if there is any workaround for this.

I know they added WebGPU, WebRTC stuff, and 2 or more WebGL settings. It was not talked about in the update and it’s probably something directly on the webkit website. I might be wrong and it might be something else though.

[BeezBumba]

Did you find anything that may help yet?

[nbarkhina]

Nope nothing yet

I have sent a website issue note to apple because now I'm not really sure what could be the issue. I am suspecting its memory only because when I was editing a Google Slides presentation, whenever I would copy and paste, it can take a while for it to paste.

[nbarkhina]

Great - let me know if they come back with anything. Yeah my guess is there's not much we can do unless Apple fixes the issue.

[BeezBumba]

I now know that it’s not something with the feature flags. I tried enabling/disabling all of them to see if there is a difference, but there was no difference.

[BeezBumba]

One more thing. My app store is not working for some reason, so can you try to see if the website works for other browsers?

[nbarkhina]

I tried in Chrome but it's the same result. All iOS browsers use the same engine.

Quick question: Is there any part of your scripts that tries to sync the gameplay with the audio if the audio is acting slow? I saw a part in the script.js script that is highlighted and says that it’s outdated and use a different one.It suggested AudioWorkletNode instead of the deprecated ScriptProcessorNode.
