Developed and published by Ludia, Jurassic World Alive is an Augmented Reality based mobile game based on the 2015 Jurassic World movie.
It has more than 100 different species with players able to collect, create and battle various types of dinosaurs. Having said that, one of the most important features of an AR game is its ability to track player location in the real world
But according to reports (1,2,3,4,5) from Jurassic World Alive players, many have been facing GPS issues in the last few months on devices running Android 12. Some say the GPS is not tracking them properly, making it harder to enjoy the game.
A bunch of people said they had to open another app using GPS like Google Maps to sync their position. Below are some reports from Jurassic World Alive players affected by the GPS bug on Android 12.
With some reports dating back to October last year, many are now wondering why the developers are taking so long to fix the issue.
As it turns out, Ludia has added the issue to its list of known bugs and said it is under investigation. However, there is no ETA on when it will be fixed.
They also suggested a workaround that involves turning on the precise location for the app in Android settings. But the majority of players are saying that the workaround is not helping in any way and that the issue persists.
We hope the developers fix the problem at the earliest since GPS is an integral part of the game. When they do, we will let you know so stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
