Dark visuals & sparse Sakura Blossom trees after update (iPad Air M2)
Platform: iPadOS
Device Make & Model: iPad Air 13-inch (M2, 2024)
OS Version: iPadOS 16.6.2
Player ID: 3032408859
Issue Summary:
After the latest game update, the graphics have noticeably degraded on the iPad Air (M2). The visual rendering looks muddy, overly dark, and strangely glossy/wet. More importantly, the Sakura Blossom trees along the Sakura Blossom Avenue have become extremely sparse, showing very few trees compared to earlier versions.
Troubleshooting already tried:
- Fully restarted the iPad Air M2 (No difference).
- Verified network and background apps (Issue persists).
Additional Notes:
It feels like the game's LOD (Level of Detail) or graphics profile has misidentified the 2024 M2 iPad Air as a lower-tier device, or the shader/lighting model introduced in the latest update is bugged for this resolution/GPU.
Please see the attached screenshot showing the sparse trees and dark visual tone.
