Bug: Upside down game

[Scionwest]

When I have the iPad oriented in landscape, on it's right side, the game is drawn just fine. However when I open the multi-task tray either with a four-finger swipe or double clicking the home button, the game flips upside down and my tray is upside down with it. When I let go the game renders back in normal mode but the multi-task tray remains upside down.

I've also had issues where screenshots are saved upside down. This only happens when on its right side. On the left side it doesn't happen at all.

If I move the ipad a certain way, mine will flip upside down for like a milisecond and then return to normal.

Ok, here is how it should work:

The game will change orientation based on the way you hold the device. It should (after update 1.0.1) not change orientation when the screen lock is activated.

While we are at it, I've noticed that if the screen is oriented where the home button is on the right side of the game it's easier to click players/links/etc. however if the home button is on the left side of the screen, it's a pain in the butt to click links for some reason. I'm playing on an iPad, so the fact that I have chubby fingers doesn't apply as much.

That's how I expected it to work, but my screen lock is off so it freely rotates and the multi-task tray always stays on the left side of the iPad (top when in landscape w/ home button on left side). Not sure why, I assumed iOS handled that automatically lol.

I will play around with it tomorrow but it is not in my hands to change anything regarding it, it is something the framework we use does for us so I would need to submit a ticket if we have a problem.

Sebastian -- I'm having the same problem. With the case that I use I hold the iPad with the home button to my left. The game will be in its correct orientation except when I pull up the multi-task tray like the OP, but it also flips upside down every single time I get a notification (annoying since I have email notifications set and get them every few minutes). I have to physically flip or shake my device to get it back to normal orientation.

Sebastian, the game does work this way, but it is upside down compared to the rest of the iPad. E.g. I am playing, I rotate the screen and the game rotates, etc., but notifications appear upside down at the bottom of the screen! This is the only iPad app that does this.

P.S. this also makes 90% of my screenshots upside down as well....
