Playing Warpgate HD on iPad: Trying to warp to Polaris system and game keeps crashing. Trying to complete "Its pretty darn thick" and "Religious Persecution" missions. Anyone else had same problems? Net search turned up nothing. Anyone know of a workaround? Tried deleting app from iPad and resyncing with iTunes and also did a hard reset on iPad with no luck.
Thanks in advance.

Having the same issue. 4.2 on ipad. Not Beta. Crashes on warp into Polaris either warpgate...Driving me a bit crazy...
I'm having this issue too.. I even deleted my game info and started over again thinking it was something I messed up in the game. Now I'm back to that point again and it is still crashing. FRUSTRATING!
Sent an email to support several days ago. Not heard back except for the automated reply stating to wait 48 hrs for a reply. Anyone else?
+1 iPad 4.2
Had exactly the same problem but am lucky enough to own an iPhone as well, so after purchasing the iPhone version of the game, I was able to upload from then iPad, download it on the iPhone and complete that part of the missions there.
Not a solution for everyone but certainly helped me.

There is no current fix for this at this time. Something about 4.2 isn't working with that system. Sorry, wish I could be more of help.
Evan, which quest are you stuck on? I only made 2 quests that involve the Polaris system, and they are both side quests not part of the main storyline.
Do we have any ETA on this? I'm sitting with two missions that I cannot finish. After doing some looking online, it looks like there are a lot of iPad owners having this issue after the 4.2 update. How is this not being fixed? Loving the game, but this really puts a bad taste in my mouth. I code for a living, if there was a major bug in our production system, we wouldn't leave till it was fixed.
Can someone who has this crash do the following for me?
Go to a nearby system that's not Polaris, and use the Upload button to upload that save game to Plus+
Then let me know your Plus+ name.
When Apple put out the 4.2 update, it very much broke the iPad version of Warpgate. It actually took a lot just to be able to compile and build the game again (oddly, the iPhone completely unaffected). I have a fully functioning 4.2 Warpgate now, so I can determine if this issue is fixed and put out an update.
I'm not an engineer, so I was at the mercy of our engineers who were completely unavailable for any support until recently. It's not a good excuse, but it's the truth.
I have an upload for you. I'm in the Alcor system sitting on top of the Polaris Warp Gate. brocja01 is my Plus+ ID

Warpgate HD 1.3 has been submitted to Apple.
It brings the following:
1. Fixes the Polaris Crash
2. Enables Multitasking
3. Updates Plus+ to the latest version. You wont notice much of a difference, but it is doing a lot behind the scenes which is good.
It could go as fast as 2 or 3 days. Could take as long as 2 to 3 weeks. All depends on what Apple is doing. It's out of our hands sadly. We just wait now.
I am also STUCK because I cannot get to Polaris. iPad version costs more but it doesn't work?
You mention that there were only two missions dealing with Polaris? I have the following:
Trail of Clues: travel to Einher Polaris, Pretty Darn Thick: Malik in Polaris, Military Reco: travel to Malik in Polaris, Better Mousetrap: Nattsol
The iPad version is fix and will be out any day.
You are right, there are more than 2 missions. Look at the mission code, the following missions involve Polaris.
1. Religious Persecution - You can take the colonists to Polaris, or you can choose to turn them into the Authorities. This is a sidequest not part of the main story, it does not chain to new missions.
2. It's Pretty Darn Thick - Requires you to enter Polaris (I believe this is the particular mission causing the crash). It is required to continue in the story (when Warpgate launched a different sidequest in Polaris was causing problems, but it wasn't story related, this one is).
3. A Trail of Clues - Requires you to travel to Einher in Polaris - This is a side quest and does not chain to more missions.
4. The Black Manta - This does have a trigger in Polaris, but only to identify how close you are to the signal (not close at all). You never need to enter Polaris for this mission (if you do, you just receive a Signal Detection of a very low percentage).
5. Space Carp - When Warpgate shipped this quest caused a crash due to a bad definition in the Space Carp. It works now, and is a sort of joke mission based on Flick Fishing.
And that's it. Any other mission you get to Polaris, such as the "Recon" mission Daniel Kurzwell has is a randomly generated mission.
But as I've said, this will be fixed hopefully in a matter of days (just waiting on Apple).
Ta for the help, Bruce. Look forward to playing the fixed game.
Hey all,
So clearly Apple is taking its time with 1.3, or it's been rejected. Any update on this?
I take that back. I read those dates totally wrong. :P Sorry!
No problem. I don't expect the game to take too much longer, I'll post as soon as I know anything.
I am running ios 4.2.1 on my ipad. I just got the update from the app store. My game still crashes while trying to enter Polaris. I uploaded the save game to Plus saved at the Polaris warp gate. Verified the crash several times at this point.
SharpDog, what is your Plus+ name? I'll pull down your data and check it out asap.
Should be 'SharpD0g' (with a zero)
Let me know if you have problems getting the data, I only entered the name once so I'm 90 % sure that's what it is. ... hey, half of me is senile and the other half has alzheimer's :p
I can't get it to crash using your stuff.
I want you to try this.
Quit Warpgate, and double tap the home button. Then find Warpgate in the tray at the bottom. Tap and hold on it to remove it form the Tray (that will stop it from Multitasking).
Then launch warpage. While the Loading screen is up with the spacestation and the logo, hit the home button.
Then double tap the home button, bring up the Multitasking, and press and hold and remove Warpgate again from the list.
Then run the game. That will tell the game to rebuild the star system you are in (your ship will now be at 0,0 coordinates). See if that fixes it.
Yes, that fixed it, thank you. I'm landing on Malik now ;-)
Thank you so much for your post.
