Re: Can't play while the game downloading on the background

I dont know anyone who can run the game while an update is downloading.
My guess is that this is a feature that will work on future devices, which are capable to handle it. So far Im not aware of any that has the process power to do this.

2019 and the iPad Pro still won't "Play while Downloading", still just shows the download progress.... Why don't they just remove this button? It's never ever worked for me on any of the 10 devices I've played this game on... And it still bugs me every time :-P

@TastyChimera Lol it’s almost 2023 and on an iPhone 13 I still can’t do it. I’ve never been able to on any previous devices either. It frustrates me so much that I had to Google it this time and the results brought me to this haha glad I’m not the only one but they really should remove it
