As the mega-fans of UNO recoil in horror and one-star the game's latest update, Gameloft is preparing a patch to address two of their core issues: the ads and the crashes. In an e-mail floated to us this afternoon, we get the impression that the development team behind the game has identified what the crash problem stems from. More importantly, though, it's fixing it.

The same goes for the ads, which were essentially links to other Gameloft titles. As of this upcoming update, they'll be removed from the main menu and the loading screen, which were the two places they appeared in the first place.

As for the IAP cards… well, apparently there's been a misunderstanding on the user end, as you can disable bonus cards before every match. We've also been told that the game doesn't allow you to use bonus cards that other players don't have access to, which makes a lot of sense from a competitive design standpoint, but has us scratching our heads over the reviews that game has been seeing post-multiplayer update.

As for an ETA on the fixes, we don't have one yet. We've touched base about that and I'd imagine we'll be able to get that to you at some point in the near future.
