Hit boxselection difficult since the version 1.1

Hi,



Since the update 1.1 of Fallout Shelter on iOS, I noticed that I have problems to select the dweller I want.



Sometimes when I try to select a dweller from a distant view, it will select someone in another room



Sometimes the dweller in front of the room, but not completely in from of the dweller I want, will be selected.



Sometimes, one dweller (for now, I'd say the one of the left if the 2 are at the same distance and close enough to each other) will "hide" the other dweller on te right. Meaning while clicking on the dweller on the right, I select the one of the left. I am pretty sure that this is a "hit box" issue, as to select the one to the right, I need to click in the empty space at his right...



Note that, this was working fine before (I wouldn't say it was working perfectly, but it was far better before the update).



PS : I'll add a picture as soon as I find out how to do so...

Agreed, the selection is not working as well as it should, copied here is my incident report to gamesas:

***

Noticed since the update, that the selection of dwellers seems to be a bit off target, especially when zoomed out. It is necessary to touch off to the right of a dweller to select or drag them.


Also, touching a dweller sometimes does not select them permanently, they will highlight green briefly, but then selection reverts to the last selected dweller. This is hard to manage when trying to fight bad guys in the vault, as it's impossible to apply stimpacks unless you can select reliably. Now that there are badder enemies, it should at least work well...

***

And as the thread starter noted, it is very hard to select a dweller that's behind another dweller, even if you scroll sideways to separate them. During battle, I also notice that dwellers I've selected so I can apply a stimpack, sometimes spontaneously unselect, then usually die... Awwww.
