[Q] Gameloft's HD games crash and phone restarts after 5 mins - Xperia Arc General

hey...i got some gameloft HD games like nova 2, lets golf 2, sacred odyssey, etc. whch when i run they start perfectly and even the frame rate is fine. but 5 mins into these and the screen gets stuck and the phone restarts. These games should work on my phone and they support my device on the site. so what can be the problem and how can i rectify it? any help would be appreciated. thanks. btw i got my xperia arc updated to 2.3.3 gingerbread (2.3.2 had the same problem).

I had it in NOVA 2 at an exact place, so I'd say programming error. But I could play much longer than 5 mins.

yeah but i dont have it on an exact place, when i just restart the phone and play it it crashes/restarts after like 15 mins but when i play after doing some things like play music or install an app, it crashes/restarts after just 1 min. so there is a fixed time to when it crashes....and btw all games cant have the same programming error.

I can't get tekken or any fighting games to work, but I have gotten ff tactics, loaded, reloaded, and need for speed high stakes to run flawlessly, mortal kombat trilogy freezes at start screen, soul blade freezes at loading, gta3 won't load cars or avatar, no go at all on twisted metal 2, tekken 3, and one game I can't remember doesn't load.
All I want to work is tekken 3 and I will be happy.

any really good game thaat doesnt need much keys ?
the screen on the x10i
even though i have got the games working fine from bin files. well i say they work fine, sound is perfect on my xperia x10i, but the screen wont fill and stretch the x10i. ive tried all the settings and still nothing. does anyone have ideas of where im going wrong on this? or is it worth rebooting the entire phone to factory standards and starting again?
without multi-touch you cannot play games like psx games on psx4droid or the games which require mlti-touch like football ( 2.1 is required ) so sony X10 is not for playing games, if you wanna enjoy games then go for desire instead ( great phone as compared to X10 trust me ) HTC desire is far better than X10.

nope ur wrong as i been running psx4driod on my x10 for ages fair enough there is no MT but there is a few games that run perfect on it.
@djboxer. do your games on x10 run with the screen filled? or did you have any problems like im having, with the screen not showing properly. as the button layout is fine on screen, but the actual graphics are squashed up in the middle, and ive tried putting the screen settings to stretched and all the others, and its still putting the graphics squashed in the middle. the sound is running fine, just the graphics are strange. and i cant figure it out. has anyone else figured this out?
people, to be able to play games without MT, buy a wiimote and download an app that connects the controller through bluetooh. works FLAWLESSLY
how do you guys play FF7? i'm able to load the game, but just black screen. any help?

brill idea i have to give that a try has many of my games are racing ones i have choice of accelerate or brake pffffft haha
and also here the other topic which is for all users wanting to install and setup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8238406#post8238406
The FF7 I got online was in rar/zip/ecm/bin combination i have to uncompress it to bin file.
I can play FF7 (disc 1), Chrono Cross (disc 1) and SagaFrontier 1 on my X10a. Graphic and video playback are nice but audio is very choppy so I turned it off. Also, it's almost not playable because you cannot multi-touch (you need to press directional key and 1 button to 'run') on those games, without it, the characters are walking in snail speed...
Ive tried playing grand turismo. had 2 different downloads and both had an issue,first one didnt go forward at all and the second one the car can only get up to around 10mph..... the accelrometer works nice with the racing type games but need to find one that actualy works
Hi i think mt for playing psx games would be awsome but: in fact i ve played psx games on my touch diamond and yoused my own psx games and they worked fine. Only reasen why games werent enjoyable: 10 frams/s and okay the diamond has few more hardware buttons but great for final burn for example
Cheers

If you're having trouble with FF7 in the underwater bit, I read in other forums that you can't get past it using the psx4droid app. Apparently you need to do that part on a PSX PC emulator then save the save game file back on to your psx4droid folder, doesn't seem to be any other way around it
i`m playing diablo 1 mostly because i dont need the mt ... like in the other games ... and mostly i`m looking for games witch dont need the use of mt to be played
Heh,i played Dino Crisis 2 : works
Gran Turismo 2 : Works perfectly
GTA 1 : Works perfectly
GTA 2 : Works perfectly
NFS 3 Hot Pursuit : Works perfectly
NFS 4 High Stakes : Works perfectly
Tekken 3 : Not working at all.
Gonna try this evening : Resident Evil series.
BTW : For those that complain of multitouch,ican play ALL games without any problem...how ? Using the hardware buttons.
You just put the "Back" button as the "X", and the "Focus"(Yes the camera button) as the "Square", and you can play almost all the games without anykind of problem,specially driving games.
So for those who complain of MT : Yes its nice but NOT a "Cant live without it".
And for those who say Desire is better : Why are ya here? The X10 can be a LOADS nicer,smoother and better device than the Desire if you tweak it nicely,so shush.

Another thread posted in wrong section

I think the title of the post says enough but I shall discribe what happend.
I have updated my x10 to android 2.3.3 a couple days ago but when I installed dungeon defenders on my phone and after that when I wanted to play the game it craches.
- sometimes when it is loading the game.( this is when you see the purple circle)
- sometimes randomly in the game(there are moments when i can play the game 2 seconds and sometimes 10 minutes)
I was wondering if one of you has the same issue with the game?
comment please

Same, haven't even got to the menu before.... CRASH!
Shame... I liked that game.

Nova 2 unplayable

Hello. I.recently purchased Nova 2 from gameloft website for 4 euros. I honestly tried a cracked version before that. It didn't run well. I then purchased the game and it's exactly the same. The game often drops to what look to me 3 or 5 fps, very laggy in every situation. I tried with chainfire 3d but nothing changes. I am at the moment with latest cyanogen. I have read that people with desire HD run the game smooth so what problem do i have here?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
you should try a complete wipe + reinstalling..
I was on Cyanogenmod when i bought the game and had no problem.. i'm on Virtuous right now and still plays smoothly
Complete wipe of the Tom or the app? Before installing cyanogen i did the complete clean uninstall. After the cracked version i also disinstalled the app from the manage apps, and then deleted the directory of gameloft from SD card. Then i purchased the game, installed apk and downloaded all the new game data. Can you give more info?

And did you buy it from gameloft wap website, gameloft full website or android market? Maybe it makes a difference.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
A compete wipe of the device and reinstall cyanogen. However you did it the first time so im clueless.
As for the .apk, i got it from the market but i dont think i really mather because all the cache files are downloaded from gameloft servers anyway
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I had the same issues when i first played the game with the normal version you get when you buy it for the DHD. This version is somehow buggy i think. For me the lags where most noticeable while there where enemies on the screen. Seemed to me like there is some texture or effects on the guys that causes the lags.
I then tried about every version out there and to my surprise the Xperia Play version worked best. You might wanna give that a try Its the oldest Android Nova 2 version, 1.0.0. But it runs super smooth on my device! Note: The resolution is slightly off in the menus but the gameplay is perfectly fine.
I am gonna try the experia play version. Any hints on how I can find it?
And also i made someone download the game from the market on an Acer iconia with Tegra. It runs not smoother than my phone and it's weird i think. I don't expect 60 fps but on my phone it's just impossible even to just look around.
So i am waiting on advice on how to run the xperia version! By the way i get 2200 points on quadrant benchmark so i guess CPU and video are ok.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Found it even before your post! I was sure that was the version i tried before buying but maybe it isn't....this one works flawless, only weird things are the menu which is cropped and the initial intro video which is smaller than the screen. In game graphics are the same, but it runs very very well. Nothing like the other one! Thanks!

I noticed that the picture becomes blurry and the framerate drops down. It is like the game uses some sort of dynamic resolution. The weird thing is that when the picture is sharp, the game is very smooth. As soon as the picture pixelates and blurs the frames go very very low, unplayable. I wonder what causes that. Gameloft said that no one reported problems on the desire HD so i have no idea.

Gameloft released NOVA2 v 1.0.3 for some HTC models ... the link is available from support...just email them.
or Google search for this version this even works in SGTAB2 7.0 ( unrooted ) ...however the movement control gets stuck at times, you may have to pause the game & resume to play.
On Android phones ( not Tablets ) with smaller screen size , I think this version will play much better.
I tried ChainFire3D on it, but it fails to load.
Happy Gaming!

thanks, but well i am not able to open the android market ,so how should i download the games? and even the browser doesnt work says 'unfortunately the browser has stopped'......
Please be aware that Sony is specifically asking for feedback on this and has a format that they request you put your games reports in (see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571463). I think that making the list here (and not in the Dev thread) is great but it would help Sony too if you also make sure that the reports conform to their format.
I'm posting this because if it's just a list of games that work well, I'd be worried that people will run to the games that work and in the process stop testing the other games...which doesn't help Sony diagnose game issues before a real release.
I use a backed up asphalt 6 apk and the same game files and Asphalt works but it's ugly, there are red lines where there should be drift marks and there are lots of other red lines everywhere but the game is playable.

Games not working as they are supposed to...

Hi friends, this is my first thread in this forum and i'm a complete noob in android.
i got my note 2 on 7 dec and it has been running nicely but i got a problem from some 1 to 2 days ago, i have some games in my phone and have been playing since i got the phone but now there's a problem, when i play each game it gets stuck for few milliseconds then running with more than normal speed and this process is going on continuously(i.e. stopping for some ms and running with more than normal speed again and again, so we can say in general that the games are running with more than normal speed)
Please help me on this one and provide some solution, thanks in advance
[extra details: i tried uninstalling some games when i thought it might be their problem, but it didn't fix the problem.]

I think I might be having this same problem, though not with the same gravity as you do. For instance, sometimes while playing something like Temple Run, the game will get stuck for a few milliseconds and then as soon as it starts again the game would run on super speed for a few milliseconds, thus essentially resulting in the death of my character as I wouldn't be able to control it. It's almost as if the system is compensating for being sruck fir those few milli seconds. But this happens once in maybe 10 games, and I haven't yet seen it in any other game. This never used to happen when I was playing the same game on any other android devices I had. Maybe it's a bug in some note 2 decices, or maybe a bug in the game itself?

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.
can this be because of some app i installed?
and @SacGuru in my phone it is happening the same but really fast and continuously so you know there's continuity but because of constantly getting stuck it does not make the game look good and also this happening all of the games, and when i tried uninstalling and installing again it didnt solve my problem but what it did was delete all my savegames
oh hey guys i just figured out the problem, sorry for your time lol, it was an app which used to start power saving mode on its own i turned it off a few times and then i got suspicious and found the app and changed its settings and now everything is working fine
BTW thanks for your help
I told you so ...lol. ....anyways good to be of help
