Comment on I just released my first fully free Android game: Wandering Alchemist (GPS walking game)

  Sorry, that’s the latest, I fat fingered the version (:

  Was this on just your very first app start (with the tutorial) or later on too? The first start needs a very good location fix, sub 50 meters (so indoors it’s a bit tough), otherwise the tutorial spawns, you jump and it becomes a mess.

  As soon as the tutorial is done all further game starts should be much faster, hopefully.

    It was on my very first start. I tried closing then opening the app but it didn’t fix the issue. I know opening Google Maps will fix this because this also happens on Pokemon Go when the GPS location is inaccurate. Opening Google Maps seems to trigger a better algorithm for GPS. Not sure if this is device specific though or triggered by power saving mode.

      GPS can be fiddly unfortunately. But great that it works now, if you get any issues on the next few starts please let me know 💚
