Hello Guys,

I just upgraded my ipad on Friday from a 2 to the new Air and noticed somethings that's been really bothering me.

The view port, ie how much of my islands I can see on the screen at once, seems to have changed significantly, I assume its because of the new retina screen but wondering if anyone could confirm, or if there's anyway to change it.

Here's what it looks like, zoomed all the way out on the ipad 2:

Im not sure about others, but I much prefer to played zoomed out as much as possible, ie how it looked on the IPAD 2

I just upgraded from the 3rd gen with Retina to the Air and am experiencing the same thing so it's not a retina display issue. I much prefer it the old way too. Hopefully there is some update that can be incorporated to fix this as it is very annoying.

I think I may have figured out the issue:

I have another game with a similar issue, San Juan. On the Air the screen is cut off all around the edges. On my 3rd gen it is fine. I checked another game Puerto Rico by the same people who make San Juan and that game looks fine on both. Here is the difference: Both Lost Islands and San Juan have been optimized for the iPhone 5. Puerto Rico has not been. It would appear that Lost Island and San Juan are seeing the Air as an iPhone 5 and displaying the resolution incorrectly. I'll try checking more iPhone 5 optimized apps and see if this continues to hold true.

I am on iPad 2 with IOS 7 and read on here logged out.

The foreshortened text is annoying.

That aside, I suggest you post this on ActiVision Support on Facebook or Twitter.

I think that is it, as that is how the game looks on my iPhone 4 ( iPhones having a smaller screen it dose not zoom out as much) so it seem the game thinks the Air is an iPhone.

I am also having the same issue on my new Ipad Air... Is there going to be a fix coming soon???
