Why does every game stutter now?

You make me laugh. You restore to clear caches? Yeah, okay, cause that's a reason to restore.

Are you sure you're not using an android phone and you accidentally stumbled upon the wrong site?

Where do you get the idea that it is common for Android users to regularly reinstall/reset the OS?

I was half joking.

It's just that Apple has always taught us that there is no need to do maintenance on our stuff. We do not need to close apps on a regular basis, we do not need to re-install fresh every few months, we do not need to manage our RAM, we do not need to clean cache files... it's just not the Apple way of doing things.

Apple software isn't designed for the user to have to worry about that background stuff. The OS is supposed to handle it.

If I have to restore as new for a 9.3.x update, then I'm not the one who's doing something wrong. I don't have caches that need clearing.



After the 9.3 betas were over and 9.3 was finally released, I restored to a fresh 9.3 install and set up as new. However, that didn't help. Games that ran 100% smooth before 9.3, now stutter and it sucks.

Also, don't sit there and tell me it's not Apple's fault. If Sony updated the firmware in the PS4 and suddenly all of my games ran like crap, I wouldn't blame the developers of the games, I'd blame Sony.

Apple broke something while fixing 9.3. It also sucks because those small time developers are long gone with my money and probably don't care anymore.

Also, let's say Apple does figure out the problem and releases an update that addresses it, then it would be obvious that it was Apple's problem to fix all along.

I don't get how 90% of my games went from running flawlessly in 9.2 to stuttering in 9.3 and above, but 9.2 was generally stutters os-wide (except for games) and 9.3 is smooth os-wide (except for games).

No one is saying they don't believe you. Restoring a phone as NEW resolves such a wide array of issues it's worth a try before declaring a problem is world wide. If you have restored your phone and the problem persists that than are other avenues to explore. You can't come asking for help or advice and insult people's responses.

No one has the same problem as the OP? That is a clue to the problems cause.

Not no one.

"restore as new" may come off as "go see a doctor" advice when someone is complaining about a very specific illness. But at the end of the day, "restore as new" DOES solve most, if not all, issues with iPhones and Macs. But setting up the devices exactly the way they were are a pain. It took me several hours to configure my iPhone like before.

Before restoring make sure to:

* export text messages if you like to keep them. There are apps to export them.
* export messaging app messages (WhatsApp) if you like to keep
* take screenshots of Settings menus
* takes screenshots of app settings/configurations
* check whether apps store important data locally. If so, export them.

Listen guys...

I restored as new when 9.3 public came out because I thought that maybe my iPad was messed up from the betas. I did a full DFU restore and set up as new. It did not solve the stuttering within games. Then 9.3.1 came out and it still didn't help.

I'm not making this up. During one of the 9.3 betas, I downgraded to 9.2 and sure enough, Zig Zag ran perfectly again. Upgraded to 9.3 and the stutters came back.

I guess it's me then.

Thanks for the help.

Then I think I don't need to put faith on iOS 9.3.2 at all.
I have downgraded back to iOS 9.3.1 and with automatic brightness on, game stutter is much better, for me and my game.
I will wait for iOS 10.
