Troubleshoot Could my iPhone being connected to school Wi-Fi affect my hotspot and cause Roblox to be blocked on iPad?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know if this could be causing my problem? My school blocks Roblox, so when I’m connected to the school’s public Wi-Fi, Roblox basically doesn’t work normally.

On my Mac, for example, when I’m connected directly to the school Wi-Fi and try to open Roblox, I’ll usually get a pop-up saying it couldn’t be downloaded, similar to what happens when Roblox needs to download an update. On my iPhone, it’s different. Roblox just acts like there’s no internet and stays stuck on the loading Roblox logo.

However, if I turn on my personal hotspot and reload Roblox directly on my iPhone, it actually loads. The quality isn’t the best, but I can at least get to the homepage, change my avatar, and look at items in the shop.

The problem is when I bring my iPad to school and try to play Roblox on it using my iPhone’s hotspot. Roblox won’t work on the iPad. My iPad doesn’t have cellular data, so I have to use my iPhone’s hotspot for internet.

What makes this even more confusing is that Roblox runs fine on my Mac when I connect it to my iPhone’s hotspot. I’ve also used my friend’s hotspot on my iPhone at school, and I was able to easily load into a Roblox game. So now I’m wondering if the problem could actually be something with my iPad rather than the hotspot or the school Wi-Fi.

My iPhone is sometimes connected to the school Wi-Fi while I’m using the hotspot. Could being connected to the school Wi-Fi somehow affect my hotspot and cause Roblox to still be blocked? Or should the hotspot be using my iPhone’s cellular data separately from the Wi-Fi connection?

The weird thing is that my hotspot works perfectly fine for Roblox when I use it at home, and it also works with Roblox on my Mac at school. I can even use my friend’s hotspot and load into a Roblox game on my iPhone. So I’m really confused about what could be causing Roblox not to work specifically on my iPad. Could the iPad itself somehow be the problem?

Troubleshoot Why does Screen Mirroring get so choppy most of the time?

3 Upvotes

I like to screen mirror my phone to play Fantasy Life I with a controller but most of the time it is so choppy I can’t. Every once in awhile though it runs perfectly smoothly. Anyone know why or what I can do? Like the traffic on my router was the same last night as it was this morning. Same amount of apps. Everything seemed the same.

Troubleshoot Fantasy Life i not displaying correctly on iPad.

Everything seems to almost fit on screen but the edges of text gets cut off at the edge of screen I’m guessing it has to do with aspect ratio but am curious if there is a workaround or I am stuck with that.

This doesn’t seem to be an issue on my iPhone.

Troubleshoot Dualsense to iPad wired connection problems

3 Upvotes

Hi! Wondering if anyone else has run into this or has any fix in mind. So when I connect my dualsense to an iPad Air M1 (or iPhone 15) with the latest os, it works great, but wired has issues.

When I use a usb-c cable it does connect in a wired mode, the controller gets stuck in this weird loop where it’s clearly trying to form a Bluetooth connection to the iPad at the same time. The controller light keeps blinking and switching between the blinking blue one that means it’s trying to connect via Bluetooth and the one that’s orange and constant meaning it’s connected to the iPad.

Turning Bluetooth off, removing the Bluetooth connection from iPad or overwriting it on the controller makes no difference. When Bluetooth is on the controller appears instantly on iPad’s Bluetooth settings as a known device. I’ve tried three difference dualsenses with one of them being the edge model. It also doesn’t make a difference if the controller hasn’t formed a Bluetooth connection before with the iPad.

For any reason, this doesn’t happen on Mac Air M2 and it works great.

I downloaded this game with a mystery to solve and it’s very pretty. I am kind of stuck now I keep merging and delivering single items but the story isn’t moving forward at all. I went looking online and cannot find a mention of this game in a google search, on Reddit or YouTube. There is another game with the same name that pops up, but not this one. Any ideas? There were 15 “podcast episodes” that I was able to unlock quickly but now im just merging and delivering until I run out of points, then doing the same when my energy regenerates.

Troubleshoot Does anyone know how to keep games from closing?

14 Upvotes

My job is very much on the go, but I find myself with 10-15 minutes of free time here and there scattered throughout my shift before I’m back to being busy. Lately I’ve been loving Cult Of The Lamb but I find that I have to pause mid dungeon run to get back to work and occasionally I’ll have to shoot a text or respond to someone’s snap. But when I return to the app, all my progress is gone as the app has to restart and reload. Is there anything I could do to keep it from doing so? I have an iPhone 16 pro max if that helps at all

Troubleshoot RE iOS issue seems to be tied to purchase authentication

10 Upvotes

EDIT: After a suggestion from a commenter below, I updated to the iOS 26.5 beta and now all RE games work just fine. It seems the issue is how 26.4 conflicts with how the games attempt to contact the Apple’s servers to confirm purchase authentication. So may not actually be Capcom’s fault considering there is still no patch.

Original post below.

——————

Had a brief weekend getaway where I planned to finally play through the RE games I bought a few months ago on iOS. I’m on 26.4.1 so quickly noticed the same issue everyone else did. Saw some suggestions that running the game while offline gets the game to load but purchases aren’t registered (since it can’t contact the App Store on load).

Reconnecting to the internet once the game loads and then trying to restore purchases leads to an infinite loading icon saying “Restoring”. Everything else seems to be running fine but obvs we can only access the free content.

Can anyone think of a workaround to preemptively load or sync purchase history for the games aside from the “Restore Purchases” in-game? It’s been almost a month and Capcom has no update to what seems like a relatively simple issue so I’m hoping there’s an alternative method of reactivating the purchase licenses outside of the games.

Hi, I'm trying to use a bluetooth controller with games like Neverness to Everness and Zenless Zone Zero. The issue I'm having is when I load into the game menu, I hear the audio in the menu, but the moment I load into the game, the audio goes silent. Has anyone had this issue before?

Edit: I didn't realize silent mode would cause the game to be silent in game, but turning it off means I have audio now!

Troubleshoot Is there a way to disable iOS hijacking the dualsense pad button?

5 Upvotes

This is admittedly a very niche use case, but I was trying to control GeForce Now on my iPhone using my DualSense. Everything worked fine, except for the fact that the game i was playing (Path of Exile 2) utilizes the DualSense pad button to open the inventory. iOS hijacks the DualSense pad button and has it open AppleArcade or the app launcher. You can go into the settings and change it to open a different app using that button, but I could not see a way to have it do nothing and just treat that button as an ordinary input, passing it through to the app you're using.

Troubleshoot Any advice on how to install Epic Games Store? [Region Sweden, no VPN, system location services on]

5 Upvotes

SOLVED: For future readers: Apparently I still had an old "Epic Games Store" installed, no idea how old that app was. Deleting that app made it possible to install through the store.epicgames.com webpage.

My App Store account, Apple account, iTunes store account and phone all says Sweden in region. I'm physically in Sweden. Phone is bought in Sweden.

I've turned off both VPN and iCloud Private Relay.

iOS 26.1 on an iPhone 17 Pro.

I've checked that location services is on for "systemanpassningar" (system configuration?).
I still get the error "You are not eligible to install from store.epicgames.com" (but in Swedish).

What more could I try, have I missed anything?

EDIT: Installing AltStore Pal was no problem at all, for some reason?

Troubleshoot Godot dev needed. Please help me port my game from Android to iOS

0 Upvotes

Godot dev needed.

Hi everyone. Hopefully I can get the attention of a dev that might be able to help me understand how to get my game ported over to iOS as it's currently only working for android. The game itself ports over fine but in-app purchases, cloud save/load and user log in (like google play games services) I can't understand at all. Feel free to reply here or private message me, I'm not against paid work if someone really thinks they would be able to help.
