iPad battery drain/abrnomal heatup

Dec 13, 2021 Mozenrath link
The newest version of VO started draining iPad battery very fast. The device heats up quickly and its screen becomes mildly unresponsive (inconsistent response to touch input until full device restart).

Reinstalling the game, reducing graphics/video settings to the lowest possible, limiting fps to 30 didn't help. The device is capable of producing 120fps on all max settings but even the lowest graphics with 30fps limit cause abnormal heat buildup and battery drain.

The battery is being drained approximately 1% every minute or 60%/hour (lowest graphics settings).

I play almost exclusively on the Android phone and can confirm that Android version of the game doesn't have that problem.

Device specs:
- iPad Pro 10.5 2017 (A10X Fusion);
- iOS 15.1 (latest).

Please investigate.

We will investigate, this evening, and push a patch if possible. Although, given the lack of recent binary changes on iOS, the issue is a little surprising. But, it's also possible that Apple updated iOS in some way that is now problematic.
