Support:

Known Issue: Audio stutters if headphones plugged in when app is launched. Temporary solution is to unplug from the headphone jack (if already in game with problem), or cold-start the app without headphones plugged in. You will see the intro-movies on a cold start. After it starts you can plug in and use headphones normally. A permanent fix that will re-enable normal headphone use is pending.
IT IS HUGE!
Please note: Installation over Wi-Fi can temporarily require as much as 3.4GB of free space on your device.
