[MCPE-37085] Singleplayer lags on iOS make the game unplayable

Single-player, local Survival world. After installing 1.6.0, the game has become unplayable due to performance. Navigation is painfully slow. Unable to open doors (success rate approximately 1 in 20 clicks). Performance was generally fluid in previous verion 1.5.3. I seriously regret installing this version and had to give up after only a few minutes of gameplay.

Same issue on version 1.6.0 (iphone7+, iOS11)

Single Player World becomes painfully slow after

playing about 1 minute.

While Multiplayer such as Realms does not have this issue.

Playing version 1.6.0 on iPad. Immediately following update to 1.6.0, motion in game is severely delayed, like playing in slow motion. By the time I click on a block, the screen lag has already put me past that point. Blocks burst into pieces in slow motion. Moving across the landscape is so slow, I can't navigate properly.

Oops. I added another issue. I can only play if you switch fancy graphics and beautiful skies off - which detracts from the game but at least you can move about.

Deleted 1.6.0 but my purchased apps fortunately had 1.5.3 so reinstalled that and I can play again. Shame I had to lose all my games but 1.6.0 unplayable and I was fed up with having to switch off fancy graphics, beautiful skies etc just to stop the screen jitters.

Same lag problems here to on iPad 4. Ever since the 1.6 update the lag had made this unplayable.

Newly created worlds suffer from this as well. Turning off, for example, 'fancy graphics' makes such a slight difference that it may as well be enabled.

Playing on ipad pro. Normally super fast but now is so slow !!!

Then, the game crashes every 10 minutes.

I decided to stop playing until next update

Since 1.6.0 update, game is laggy to the point of making it unplayable. Turning off all the good effects improves somewhat but impossible to play in survival monster mode. This also occurred in an earlier update. I like all the good effects. My grandkids and I are playing on iPad 2 and 2 mini iPads running 9.3.5 version.

iPad A1458 (iOS 10.3.3) - since 1.6.0 update the low frame rate (approx 2fps) makes it unplayable. Prior to this version it ran well on this iPad.

Experimentation with settings makes no significant difference.

Is this still an issue in 1.6.1?

Installed 1.6.1. Tested three worlds. Performance restored to 1.5.3/pre-1.6.0 levels. Movement is generally fluid, no problems opening doors or chests. Thanks for the fix!
