I just had to take the apple update. Here are a couple of shots of weirdness. This is the only thing I've noticed so far. Only played one game though. I will report back here if i notice any others.

No problems with the gameplay, but there are some aesthetics problems, none that are immediate or game changing though

I have that too. I use ipad 2. I have a couple shots, they are the same as yours though. What happened?? It also took forever to load and install. Usually for me it's pretty fast. I had closed all other programs.

I will say from a gameplay perspective I noticed head on battles are almost impossible to win. I'm usually 50/50 when it comes to winning but now I'm losing every one. I can be shooting right on target and I get no hits. I've talked to others that feel the same way.

Big gripe here, which I'm pretty sure is related to the Apple upgrade. I downloaded the upgrade just in time to cash in some points and get better planes. No problem getting the Nieuport, but when I try to purchase the Albatros it just says "buying" and then connection freezes. And stays frozen. I mean, I come back the next morning and I still can't get back in to multiplayer.
Anyone else had similar problems, or is the Gronk forever frozen out in the bleak wastelands of reality?
