@kazoot @kristoffer-magnus — I was able to play the latest version of Epic on my iPad 2. Granted, it crashed frequently, and this was before the event started.
Not entirely sure what you mean by reset, but here’s what worked for me:
Make sure you have a Rovio account for Epic. If you don’t you may be able to backup game files manually @Amslimfordy @estar @birdleader???
Hard close all apps running in background
Wait 20 sec (best to wait to make sure device really hard closes all, I have had them reappear after power-down and restart)
Delete Epic and remove from Game Center
Do a hard power down of iPad. Best if it doesn’t immediately restart, but you have to release buttons as soon a screen goes black.
Wait 20 sec if you managed to avoid restart
Restart device
Check to make sure that all apps really did close; if not, repeat process
Reinstall Epic
Start game and go to nest to connect to Rovio account.
I have actually deleted and reinstalled game more than once after some of the recent updates.
Be sure that all apps are hard-closed before each time that you start Epic.
Use red totem in nest to log in.
If you want to log into FB, you may need to try 3 or 4 times even if you power-down device before you try. If you go immediately to the nest log in screen; wait a few sec. It will probably say login failed. Don’t despair, just click login again, and it should work.
If you don’t have any luck with all this, give up and buy a new iPad Air 2. They are great!
The iPad 2 really is pretty old, and most importantly it only has 500 MB of RAM, which is really not enough to run Epic.
If you buy something other than an iPad Air 2, make sure it has at least 1 GB of RAM. I think some of the iPad minis do not. Your helpful Apple salesperson will tell you that Apple does not list specs on RAM, and by-the-way you probably are confusing RAM with disk space (not true). You may be able to find RAM specs online.
Good Luck!
