I'm getting screen tearing (vertical black lines all over the place between tiles) on the new iPhone 4S running iOS 5. Anybody else experiencing this?

Hugely interesting to me! Please respond if you experience this.

Different techniques have proved better on iPhones new and old, iPads, and OS X, and different versions of our engine. This is a surprisingly difficult bug, but I would love to know if the 4S part of the equation (in only a small way because I want an excuse to get one).

But yes, let me know if you see this. It should only be occurring while moving, iirc.

I am also experiencing this on an iPhone 4S.  Only happens when moving.. Still playable but annoying :)

OK, I do know at least one guy with a 4s that might let me test on it a while. I'll try to lock this down asap.

Here's some good news for you:  I updated to 5.0.1 about 10 minutes ago and ALL the screen tearing is gone.  I don't know if it was 5.0.1 itself, or the fact that my phone had to be restarted.  I would suggest if someone else is having the issue to see if restarting the phone helps at all, and if not it looks like something was tweaked in 5.0.1.

Disregard the post above… the tearing is back in full force.

It's annoying. Got this on iPad 2, iOS 5.0.

I also get screen tearing on my ipad2 with ios 5.0.1. It's not awful but I'd rather it be nice and smooth.

Status update for version 2.9.6 on iPad2 iOS 5.0.1:

Tearing is gone from ground tiles, but now the walls (brown soil texture) and some objects like barrels exhibit this problem. Flickering Vertical seams when moving left/right, horizontal when moving up/down.

Yep, thanks for the info, everyone. I still don't know how yet, but this can't not be fixed for the next update. I may just need to call in an expert, or at least a guy with an iPhone 4s, but it'll get fixed.
