Hi all, i got hold of splintercell conviction hd , sandstorm hd and modern combat 2 today but ive had problems with all 3 of them i was just wondering if anyone has them working on there xperia play?
it probably was the sources i got them from as ive heard there are different versions of the games about but i dont want to go and buy them if there gonna be no better from gameloft. so im just checking before i fork out.
anyone else had similar experience?
black screen on splintercell
grey and black graphics on sandstorm and fails to download modern combat 2?
i dont think its my hardware as most games are fine.
gimme your thoughts
my problem is slightly different. I bought sandstorm, nova, asphalt, sparta for my htc evo 4g. Trying to get other games it says gameloft cant support my phone. Which makes me wonder if some kind of divorce took place after I bought my games, and if I am in somekind of limbo right now

I bought a few games when I had the HTC desire hd and just installed those on the play and encountered similar problems. Wrote gameloft and got my paid games upgraded and they work like a charm. Dpads and touchpads incorporated in the games ;-)
Regards Dousan...
e: when upgrading games to the play I had to download some extra stuff to make it work. (Had already copied my backup from HTC dhd to my play).
ah right yep the games must be coded slightly differently for the play cos of the pad... ive got another version of conviction here now which is working but not with the pad grrrr ... im gonna have to spend some dosh and buy the right version
ALSO anyone know if the play is multitouch cos it doesnt feel like it. i know its gotta pad so it doesnt really matter but on sandstorm using the screen i had to stop moving to aim?

ONe thing i do know about, lol, the play has multi touch screen AND touch pad, if u try the touch pad test software u can use 2 fingers on the pad AND 2 on the screen at the same time
Just a quick update... i bought splintercell and modern combat 2 and both work great using the pad controls,... I found out i had to buy the games to get the right version for the xperia play just a tip for other noob freebie hunters
Only problem I've had with some games is them not showing up in the Xperia Play games section after download.

Hi There Ive had the same problem with modern combat 2 dont know about the other 2 it force closes when i select it from the app menu, but I have got a way to get it working. This is on xperia play, for the downloading try restarting your phone turning the wifi off and back on and stay next to your wireless so you know youll have a good connection.
You try to load it from the app menu first and it will force close then hold the recent apps button and select the game from there and it will load it does still sometimes randomly force close though.
Hope this helps
If all else fails contact gameloft they take a few weeks for fixes like these but they will offer you a free game or something for the inconvenience.
That is good of them, I bought a game off PSN for PSP which wouldn't work & when I contacted them they told me it was my fault because I have a Jap PSP and they wouldn't re fund or supply a replacement.
i had the same problem with games not showing up... have you shut down and restarted your phone since u got them... mine show up. i think after a restart of the phone, not sure give it a try but mine are on the xp slide out list

Maybe consoles are a bit different but they should have allowed you access to a copy that did work for you if you paid for it. Or maybe that was just Sony as they get a cut out of every psn sale.
Yeah your right that is normally their attitude i was actually surprised when they did it and they done it twice for me bought nova 2 didnt work so they gave me assasins creed and spiderman free, then i got impatient for an fps so i tried modern combat 2 and didnt work either they gave me brother in arms free for this one. To sum that up i got 3 free games for 2 faulty games I bought and nova 2 works now since their update still waiting for a fix for modern combat 2 though.

the nexus one has this infamous multitouch bug/problem bcoz of its dualtouch screen and im wondering if it already has been fixed with custom roms orso?
No and never will.
how does this affect gaming? like age of zombie or modern combat 2 black pegasus?
I dont play games on my phone but allmost anything that requires require mulitouch will be ****. I assume that these games would of course. Where as something like angry birds works perfect.
In air hockey games multitouch makes impossible to play, but in games that there is a joystick and a button it works pretty good.
how about 2 joysticks like in age of zombies and black pegasus?
If the analogue sticks are in opposite diagonals it does work.
Sill a pain tho :\
Most games alllow you to rearrange the sticks.
As long as they allow using trackball for one of them - you're ok.
As long as they put the joysticks in opposite screen corners (like Gun Bros, for example) - you're mostly ok (after the phone heats when you play for a while, the screen might do its "magic" once or twice, but it can be lived with).
right now i have the motorola milestone and im wondering if i shud replace it with the nexus one
motorola milestone doesnt has this problem but the nexus one is more powerfull and has more ram and so
what do u guys think i should do?
very bad
Stop asking the same question with different wording. You can't fix the multitouch with any software update, get a new phone if you intend to play games.

Anyone with a Nexus One,can check for any multi-touch issues themselves by downloading “Multitouch Visible Test” from the Android Market and giving it a shot.
Android 3.0 was ok for the only 4 games gameloft released then it came 3.1 and every game fails...gameloft released only 2 patches for asphalt 6 and heroe of sparta and tells everyone it was android fault and that they are waiting for them to fix it... 3.2 came and now i cant play any of those 2 games because of the new stretch to fill sent all to hell, graphics looks awful and there is no way to control it. I have also tryed old games that does not fit the screen (and use 3d graphics) and they work awful too. Anyone have the same google experience?
funny, the games i've tried all work fine. Like Trials, the emulators, and dungeon defenders. Maybe Gameloft should just stop sucking at building their games.
lol, poor Gameloft. They finally decide to stop being lazy(for lack of a better word) and make some games for the Xoom, then 3.1 comes out so they have to update all the many(4) games they have for the Xoom, and now 3.2 comes out.

For me as well.
it's a shame cause I'd totally buy at least Nova, but they suck at making their games compatible for some reason.

Funny how many other games work perfectly well and only Gameloft is having issues that are the fault of the OS.
Let me give you my advice I always gave my programming team - don't write bugs
Gameloft games beats any other android os games out there in terms of quality and gameplay. The other games that works well are casual games. Sure they have compatibility issues but i can understand that because of the screen size, graphic card, ram,touch screen, gamepad, etc. The problem i have is that when there is a 3.x update they always f'up something and games or apps stop working. Many devs quickly update their apps to fix the problem but a company as big has gameloft it must be a pain in the ass to update that frecuently a game that already worked fine in previous version...its not their foult after all.
Seriously? Gameloft games are mostly trash. I wouldn't say they are totally bad but they are definitely not the best game dev.

I love their games I just think they need to get better devs or stop being lazy...I know I am lazy also, but I dont make games for people to play so it is ok lol.
mine has no prob working
I was curious to see what everyone has been playing currently. For me I have been playing Pokemon Emerald, Asphalt 6, and Dead Space.
Don't really have a favorite yet, but Castle of Shadows has been eating my time. That game is really damn fun! The creators actually did re-release it as Avenger without the requirement of constant online connection and with gameplay upgrades, but the new soundtrack just isn't charming enough for me (not acceptable for me, I'm a bit of a vgmusic enthusiast).
Also been really into Modern Combat 3. The campaign actually feels kinda intense, and I've been on this high all since I got online and found out just how awesome the physical controller advantage was.
If I had to pick a favorite though, it'd have to be Spectral Souls. That is an incredibly deep RPG to have on a phone. And since the PSP version is unplayable, this is its only *real* release.

hey TLR i was really dissapointed by the mc3 controls i thought from reading your review they would be like the nova 2 or rainbow six ones but unfortunately not tell me how you play online with these did u get used to em or do you have a special technique or mind powers or whutttt TLR!!
I've been playing Dead Space, Plants vs Zombies and Sonic CD.
I'm currently playing Galaxy on Fire 2 and 9mm
Dungeon Hunter II is my favorite even though
a)the stupidity of having the attack button (X) be the same button as skip cutscenes means I missed 3/4 of the storyline in the game after a frantic battle with a final boss baddie.
b) I can't play online because it won't let me enter my password (i try to go to the password box and type and it just adds the letters to the end of my username).
Since I beat it I'm currently playing NOVA 2, Sonic CD (2nd time around), Toki Tori, Galaxy On Fire 2 (prob my second favorite), Hot Pursuit (my like on off game, I play for a bit then I leave it alone for a while), and holding on Shadow Guardian waiting for Gameloft to fix the damn game so I can beat it finally.

There are plenty of good games, and there have also been multiple exclusives, just that they don't hold exclusives permanent on the Play, it just doesn't make financial sense. Currently FIFA 12 is exclusive, Dead Space was, as was Hot Pursuit, and others.
We are playing what other people play, but better, we can also play emulators, but better. If you don't like it, do us all a favor already and sell your phone and leave us alone.
Why do people nerd rage so much over exclusives anyway? Is it supposed to be some sort of my epeen is bigger than your statement to have an exclusive?
Modern Combat 3 - surprised I'm playing this since I already beat it on iPad 2.
Asphalt 6 - best racing game on Xperia Play
Where's My Water - First was Angry Birds,then was Cut the Rope,than THIS! Great game
Fifa 12 and star wars the old republic on the PC. To be honest i havent played a game on my play for over a month

It should be easier to play with sensitivity adjusted...just like all other Xplay optimized games that use the touchpads.

Assuming that you have it installed on the SD card, perhaps if you move it to your phone's storage it may act right.

Exactly lol. It's all about bragging rights.
I've been playing Experiment 13, Tecmo Super Bowl (old school NES version with 2011-12 rosters), Super KO Boxing 2, and the fresh Experiment 13.
I'd recommend that anyone play Experiment 13. It has a catchy tune, decent graphics, it's fun, and most importantly it's a free Xplay exclusive.

Guys, i updated my Eee Pad TF101 last week.Everything was seeming good.But after i tried to open some games.Some of them doesn't work.İ did every updates from GPlay but it's same.And after when i tried to open my tablet,it shows asus logo and when it's loading it's buzzing and not opening.At my second try it gets open but it's just not nice.Today i tried to play Angry Birds Space.İ played at 6. level.After it's buzzed.İ closed it but it's not opening.What can i do about those problems.
The Games That İ Can't Play
Modern Combat 3 Cracked(not from market)
Gta 3 Tegra 2 Cracked(not from market)
Dead Space(it can play well but its not horizonal,it's vertical)
İ deleted all because of this.What can i do? Please help me.İ'm really angry to Google.
P.S:Sorry for bad English,but i'm twelve and not American.So it's good even for me
So everything you cant play properly is cracked and not even purchased? Might want to look into that
I would lean to that being your issue as you cant update those games to the latest version if they are cracked, so I would try getting the real versions of those games and see if you still have a problem......

No, i don't recommend getting not legal games or apps.But in my country(Turkey)we can't buy anything from GPlay,only free apps can downloadable.Tegra games are in GPlay too,so it's not possible to download.But i have lot Gameloft HD games on my tablet,i bought all of them.With legal ways...
And you mustn't be rude to people.Somethings can have a simple and clear explanation.İt's not your job to judge people
For Dead Space on ICS, you need v.1.1.38 and a live Internet connection for it to work. For GTA III, you need v.1.3.

Not sure if you are seeing something similar to me, but i am having problems with many games on my tf101 also. Not sure what you mean by buzzing but for me the screen will freeze them a moment later the app with crash experienced it with several games from different companies, including the new angry birds space. It appears to be triggered by high frame rate or complex graphics. I am running a stock (unrooted) device.
Other affected games: need for speed hot pursuit, shadowgun, riptide gp. All purchased from google play or amazon store.
Angry Birds Space v.1.0 has a problem on our ICS. Angry Birds Space v.1.0.1 does not. That's the one you want.
I should also have mentioned that I suspect playing GTA III v.1.3 causes sleep of death for me, though it does run properly while playing. I've had two sleep of deaths, and I think both were after opening GTA III. Once rebooted, the tablet runs fine again.
Shadowgun works.
So, any way I can get around the "your device isnt compatible" bull**** with gameloft games?
I bought a bunch a while ago (Asphalt 6 and Gangstar, for example) and cant play them on my TF >_>
Gangstar does actually start and download the data, but when the game is starting it just black screens

Well,we both have almost same problems.İ meaned not any move on the screen by saying ''Buzzing''.Freeze is the correct one.
Whatever,i didn't tried a lot gameü, but i must have same problems at same games.For now best we can do is always keeping our games updated and waiting an other update from Google
So I basically couldnt wait for the sheild to come out and I bought one only to find out that big gameloft titles like Modern combat 4, Nova 3 etc are not supported by the shiled controls :crying: why nvidia why, I would have thought that nvidia would have some kind of on screen mapping controls like archos gamepad but I was wrong, I hope soon that they will with some kind of software update because alot of ppl who bought this thing to play big Gameloft Tiltes are not happy plzzzzz nvidia fix this
Current devices:
Xperia tablet Z 4G LTE. (4.2.2 rooted on stock rom)
Xperia Z. (4.2.2 rooted on custom Rom monxDIFIED)
Galaxy S4. (4.2.2 rooted on omega Rom)
Galaxy Note 2. (4.3 CM10.2)
Nvidia Shield. (4.2.1 rooted stock Rom)
PlayStation Vita 3G & WiFi (collecting dust)
There are 3rd party apps that let you do that.
Also NVidia have no obligation to "fix" this when it isn't an advertised feature.
If anything the only people that have to fix things are gameloft themselves.

Just to let you know, Modern Combat 4 works just fine on the SHIELD. You can fire and ironsight with the R1/L1 buttons and sprint/crouch by pushing up or down twice on the left analog.
Try the Amazon App store, it's $6.99 there. The game runs very smooth and multiplayer works great as well.

Same issue. I bought modern combat 4 for my phone a while ago, but I see no way to get it onto my shield.

LADIES AND GENTS!
Root your shield and download "Device Spoofer". This app does as it sounds and spoofs google play into thinking your shield is whatever you want it to be. This makes it so you are no longer limited to games available to only shield. I have chosen to spoof the system into thinking my shield is an Xperia Play. Now I have access to all Gameloft games on the Google Play Market.
I'm still testing controller support while spoofing though. Don't get too excited.

I went ahead and grabbed MC4 off Amazon App store...annoyed to have to buy again, but I was real curious about it working on the shield, and it does work well. The control mappings could be a bit better though, but maybe they are working it.
I also would like them to update Wild Blood - since I paid for that sometime ago but want to play it on my shield.
I wish they would quit releasing everything as freemium...I hope they DO NOT release MC5 as free to play.
I have an issue with the right stick not working in Max Payne and all gameloft games. Anyone else having that issue?

drag down the top right notification and untick virtual mouse off, then it should work :good:
Think I found my first actual complaint with the shield and it's completely software related, possibly analog stick driver related. Could be corrected for in games, but after some testing all games are sort of struck by this.
You turn off mouse emulation and the analog stick movement in games is almost entirely static aside from the small zone in the center where you can make minor corrections. Movement hits "balls to the wall" max value very quickly IMO.
Nova 3 is brilliant with shield, a lot like a Halo 3 clone, I have spent many many many hours playing halo 3 so I was very excited. After playing for about 4-5 hours last night, one thing I could tell as being mostly different (aside from R bumper fire vs R trigger fire) was regardless of the sensitivity setting, the acceleration spectrum of the joystick isn't anywhere near the same.
You can turn down the look sensitivity and moving the stick quickly plateaued out on the speed you can look in any direction. You turn it up too high 3/5th-5/5th and it makes it impossible to make any kind of very sensitive minor correction. (no scopes) For me anyway, having it set to 1/5-2/5th sensitivity is perfect for the minor corrections in that game and getting those headshots with ease. But it makes making major corrections (looking behind you 180's) impractical. When playing on the xbox the more aggressive the stick movements the more it will accelerate your movement while still keeping minor corrections possible with minor movements. (I played halo 3 on 2/5th setting)
So, I went in and started checking other games, maybe it was just a problem with nova... and it's basically doing the same thing in every game. Spent a lot of time playing GTA 3 and same thing there as well. I didn't pick it up at first because for the other games I didn't have a good idea of "what right looked like" But other games like respawnables & shadowgun are sort of the same deal even though I didn't really have a point of reference for those.
I know it's not a simple thing to explain and ask for, and I bet a lot of people won't even notice it, or think it's just me. What is needed is the joystick equivalent to "mouse acceleration" in windows though.
EDIT: and there needs to be (or a bigger) deadzone in the center, that might actually fix both problems (push minor values outwards of the center some). I have found some analog stick ghost movements when my thumbs are off them.
I wouldn't mind trying order and chaos with controller support. If you use the device spoofer just to get the app downloaded then turn it off will the games run? The issue is mostly just getting them onto the device isn't it?

The spoofer is only needed for the play store, from that point onwards the app itself has very little it can do to prevent running on your device.
