Clash of Clans performance in old iDevices.

Hi, since this update came out the graphics on the iPhone 3GS worsened. The letters are blurry and almost unreadable. I have a couple of friends that play in that old, but still working, iPhone 3GS. I used to play there too and the graphics were reasonable considering the device generation.

Please Super Cell, I am sure there are still some players that play in the iPhone 3GS, fix the graphics and set them as how they used to be.

I know that the game is suggested to played in iPhones 4S, 5, and 5S, so don't tell me to get another one. The 3GSs are still working, and they shouldn't be forgotten.

I am not sure how the graphics are in all tablets or iPods.

I am having the same issue as well (FYI - on my 3GS only, my iPad4 is fine).

Everything seems to have a subtle blur to it that was not there before the update. Text has a look that is..double anti-aliasing...the best way I can describe it.

Same here, I can't even read chat and when I log on my base is small. I have a iPod 3g as well.

I had composed a message to start a new thread on this issue, but since it already exists, I will simply add my thoughts here.


First off, I want to say thank you for continuing to support my iPod Touch 3rd Generation on iOS 5.1.1. Right now it is the only device I have, and I enjoy the game very much.

With the 5.64 update on Nov 6, 2013, the game has become very difficult to play. I suspect the issues I am seeing also apply to the iPhone 3GS, and perhaps other older Apple devices.

All of the HUD elements—the icons, buttons and text around the edge of the screen—have been reduced in size by about 1/3. While this gives more room to the playing field, it has pushed usability beyond the limit. Much of the text is now illegible, particularly the player's username. The target sizes of the buttons have been reduced, and they are much harder to hit. (Eg, the defense and attack logs, the league button, etc.)

The default zoom position of the playing field is much farther out than before. This allows more of the village to be seen at one time, but the buildings appear much smaller. Part of this is solvable simply by zooming in. But even when zooming in, the text associated with buildings remains blurry and does not become clearer. (Eg, upgrade time remaining.)

By far the worst elements I have seen so far are the clan chat text and the clan list, both of which are now super tiny text, blurry and illegible. Donated and Received Troop numbers are particularly unreadable.

I know there have been similar if not identical issues in the past. My request is that you please return the display of text on these devices to what it was before the 5.64 update.

The most important item for me is the clan chat text. I need to be able to read what my clan mates are saying. In fact, if you could make the chat text even larger than it was before, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you for any help you can provide. Please contact me if you need further feedback for troubleshooting.

My son plays on an iphone 3Gs and todays update has made it close to unplayable.

The reasons are already posted above but i thought i would reply anyway to show that more people use old devices.

Never forget the classics

I can still read the clan chat and global but not as well i did before,
You cant read the clan description either wish is a downfall

Please change the text size back to size before update, I can't afford to buy a new I-device because I spent all available money on gems.

Can someone post some pictures about this problem? We would help SC to address it.
