Games running very badly

:crying:
I am having problems with games running very slowly, it seems the more simple the graphics are the worse it is
Eg "Clear Vision" runs really badly as do a lot of the games from the latest Humble Bundle but gfx intensive games like Shadowgun seem to run fine!!
Anyone got any ideas?

Define "running badly". Display corruption? Tearing? Banding? Lag? Fuzzy?
The only thing I've had is fuzziness. Some apps don't scale well to our extremely high resolution.

Many Android games are yet to properly handle the N10's resolution, or badly optimized anyways, the HW can handle everything, the problem lies at the developers,.

This video claims otherwise

Beach Buggy Blitz and Riptide - both set to max graphics - run very well here. Don't have the Tegra3 special effects but look otherwise even better to me than on the Nex7.

Dont get me wrong im not trolling, a lot of games run really well but I have come across a few that dont and it seems to be the more basic graphics games that dont.
Try running: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEwMiwiYWlyLmNsZWFydmlzaW9uMTJwbHVzIl0.
and you will see what I mean

the force gpu acceleration option in the developer settings seems to make them run a little better

Just tried it, must be a bug because the videos are normal speed, as is the game, but the menus animate in slow mo.

Yeah thats what I get, im guessing we just need to wait for app devs to catch up.

the the force gpu acceleration option has vastly improved some games so this might be a work around if anyone else has any issues :laugh:

I would worry about running games at 2560x1600 on a PC, the fact that we're doing it on a tablet is crazy.

[Q] Anyone Try 4x Anti-aliasing?

Has anyone tried running a game with the force 4x MSAA on? (Multi-sample anti-aliasing).
Replied in the game thread, but wanted better visibility. I just haven't had time to install a game yet and wanted to know if it works.

Just tried it out in Shadowgun Deadzone and what few jaggies there were at this screen's resolution are gone. Running great with Tegra effects enabled.

Good to know. I want to try it w/Nova 3.

It'll be surprising if this setting doesn't destroy FPS.

Precisely why I'm asking.

That Mali GPU has a lot of bandwidth, which should help mitigate framerate loss with AA on.

I just tried it with GTA3 and as soon as I turned it on the game stopped running as smooth. It would like pause the image for half a second every two seconds or so. If I turn it off runs smooth.

Yeah I'd imagine it differs greatly from game to game. But, you should try lowering the resolution in GTA3 and then turning on MSAA, you should be able to get it to look almost as good with a performance bump.

Playing Mario Party 3?

So I got a Nexus 7, and it's pretty cool.
I downgraded to 4.1.2 so I could use the Wii classic controller.
ANYWAYS. I downloaded the three top N64 emulator from the google store, N64oid, Mupen+ and something else...
Anyways, trying to play Mario Party 1, 2, or 3 and it runs at full speed. The game runs okay during the setup, but once you get into play, the sprites disappear and the spots on the board are all moved around and off the path of the actual map.
It's not a frame rate issue, it's graphical glitches.
I'm just wondering if there is any way of fixing it? Is there a setting I can change, or a different type of rom or emulator I need?
Any help would be great.
If you're wondering, yes, I do own a physical copy of Mario Party 1, 2, and 3. Going on a trip soon and would love to play it along the way.
Thanks guys!

Is that a setting on the emulator itself? And to which emulator may you be referring? Thank you.

I tried playing mario party 2 and everything was just flickering, using N64oid.

Bump? Anybody else having this issue and or resolved it? It's a pretty popular n64 game, I'm actually kinda surprised it hasn't been discussed.
BlackFire did as much as he could to help, but we couldn't solve it.

Okay, I see Enable Open GL traces currently set to none, but with options for
Logcat
Systrace (Graphics)
Call stack on glGetError
Which would I choose?
Thanks!

The n64 emulators are not polished yet on any platform including PC and wii and of course Android I doubt you will play a game without some kind of graphical tears or glitches especially games that originally needed the expansion pack and whatever settings you try you will have some glitches

I've been told by people around here they've had it running perfectly on their Nexus. Just haven't been able to communicate with them enough to figure out how they do it.

Could somebody please be kind enough to explain to me exactly how to enable opengl hardware acceleration? Thanks!

Note 3 sm-n9005 Everywhere stattering

Hello! I've bought 3 days ago the note 3 and the first thing I noticed is that everywhere in the OS i experience (I think this is called..) stuttering! Everywhere except video playing through build in video player I see stuttering. In browser, games, apps, scrolling and worse of all Youtube! The video is like skipping frames. The sound is good but the video is not at all smooth! I enabled developer tools and enabled the setting to show me gpu usage in bars. When I experience statturing the usage of the gpu instantaneously is full and then back to normal.I've tried reseting phone removing my sd card and when the phone was only with the factory installed apps I updated youtube app and played a video and again the same even in non HD videos.... >:-X I've read somewhere to enable gpu accelaration in 2d apps neither this worked.. I've also noticed that in antutu benchmark. When the benchmark was in 3d test although the fps was around 40-60fps the image was not smooth at all! IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS! Does anyone else have the same problem with me? It is something that the average user want bother him too much and he can live with it but for me is the worst thing! I paid 750euros for the device and I want it to run smoothly at least the most of the times..! Before this device I had the note 2 and I didn't have ANY of these problems! I mean not even 1 of them! If this is not something I did wrong and it is samsung problem then it is anacceptable! What can I do?

you got a problem i would take it back cause mine is fine.

My Note3 is silky smooth fast even with high bit rate high definition video. You must have a fault and I would get it exchanged ASAP.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 4

Definitely something wrong there. My Mega 6.3 didn't suffer from stuttering but Note 3 still feels super fast after that.

Eh eh
i love this HUGE Problematic posts that someone with zero posts apperas in android forums suddenly after sammy releases... really fun & great posts i love them

Thank you
Thank you all very much for all the responses! I called samsung and they told me that they don't know something about this and they will search for the issue and call me back after 3 business days.....

When I'm playing video from the built in player or MX Player is runs smooth all the time. Youtube app has the real problem! When you are playing from youtube runs smooth on you phone?

I watch YouTube videos all the time, no issues whatsoever. Try clearing cache/reinstalling youtube etc..
To OP: Either you have some really rogue app running in the background, or your phone is defective. I have none of these issues on my Note3 and I've had it since 25th of September.

Same issues here just did a system reset and will bring it back tomorrow if still the same. Very disappointed ofcourse!

I guess that my phone is defective. As I said in previous post I've reset the phone. I've cleaned the cache and reinstall it bebore reseting it. But the problem is not only on youtube. It is in almost all apps excluding build in video player. Now if I have to give it back and get a new one should I go to Samsung service or the store I've bought it? And one question more. If the phone is from a telephone company is there a chance the OS could be damaged from them. Are they touching the software before get it to the market? Because I've noticed that after every reset the first time I open Safari the start page is Vodafone. I've bought it without contract. Is there any possibility that all these happens for this reason?

Thank you all!
They finally changed my phone! At first they told me that this is a minor issue and they don't know if they could change the device for this...... :laugh: Hahahaha in their dreams...........! I went to they store manager and I make him take my device and compare it with the store's demo device.. Finally he gave me a new one.. :victory: And it's working perfectly!!!! I really love it! I was very dissapointed at first with the other device because I was thinking that maybe that's how the phone is or I should be waiting for an update to fix their issue... :silly: Thank you all for your responses! You were very helpful! I'm very happy to belong in your forum community and from now on I will be very happy to help where ever I know my help!

For All The People Who Faces Lag in Games or Generally using the device!

Today I found something interesting happened to my phone it was running buttery smooth like it should be (821), and most of all the game i play everyday wasnt lagging at all, PUBG
Solution: DO NOT USE SMART CLEANING app or any other kind of it, your phone will start running smooth in next 3 4 days or maybe less.
Try this and share me your experiences.
Comment to let me know you're trying this.

Thanks. I'll give it a try and see if it makes a difference, because the amount of lag I experience while playing Cytus II is unbearably bad and makes the game nearly unplayable.

So dont use anything at all and itll work smooth? ok ill try that

Hi
Are you referring to the Smart Doctor build in app?
Did you disable or uninstall it?

It's been 3 days and I've reached a verdict. Doing as the OP said actually made games run better. By that, I mean I disabled Smart Cleaning via LG Package Disabler and deleted Google Files Go.
I'm not kidding about this helping. Cytus II is playable now at full 1440p 60fps, with very few lagspikes. Other games I've played, like Alto's Odyssey, run somewhat better as well.
Go try it out yourself, it may help a lot!

The name is "Smart Cleaning" app. No disable/uninstall, I'm just not using it that's it. You can disable/uninstall it if you want.

After a factory reset a couple days ago the antutu graphics benchmark got noticeably choppier, especially the "marooned" scene which was previously completely fluid. That was a disappointment since that was one of the reasons for going through that process! I've now removed Google files go and I will see if that makes a difference, I hope it does. If so, thank you in advance.
Btw I think you meant "1440p" (QHD) not "2160p", that's 4k! ?

Yeah, that's right. Thanks for pointing that out!

This is serious guys, I deleted Smart Cleaning by ADB and my gaming experience increase magically, Shadowgun Legends can run quite good with Ultra high 60fps setting, it couldn't do that before. Unbelievable
PS: Tested only with latest Android 7.0

I have zero lag and i use smart doctor every other day.

Well, two weeks from when i see this thread and i stop using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app, just to say, this guy is right, using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app will (somehow, and i dont know how and why) make you phone laggy and in my tests if i open it like between 2 or 3 days and make a clean all UI and the app frezzes and i need to wait almost 1 minute to phone get out of the app and all be OK again.
So, my test really gives reason to this guy and i will delete the app from the phone, and i recomend all people with rooted G6 to do the same and use CCleaner instead to clean cache from apps and so on...
to the guy who discover the guilty of the lag: i cant pay you a beer, but you will be my hero forever.

Not working for me unfortunately... Still quite a bit of lag playing heavier games like csr2, Rr3 (practically unplayable), hungry shark world ?

I've had the phone since September last year and I don't think I've used it for more than 10 times. It lags anyway. Lowering the resolution does wonders, but it has some bugs that I don't like so I've switched back to lag.

If you are rooted, I highly recommend installing the new Adreno 530 driver, there is a decent improvement in games and definitely in Antutu...

does this stil work as of now?

This reads like bull****. What is "smart cleaning"? Is it supposed to be an app? The instructions are super unclear.
Smart Doctor cannot be disabled either. You can just disable it running in the background.
