[Discussion] Gameloft games issues and how you fix it - Galaxy S III General

This is an educated discussion thread. Haters posts aren't welcome here.
I'm looking for a thread discussing all Gameloft games collectively instead of individual one but failed to find one. That's why I created this thread. So let's discuss about Gameloft games issues and how you fixed it.

It seems like Gameloft fixed a few of Asphalt 7 issues with the latest update;namely the long loading time when starting the game. There's also a video when starting the game. Asphalt tracker is still slow to connect like before. Performance is somewhat improved. I think it's smoother now. I noticed an improvement to the graphic as well. What are your opinions about the latest update?
P/S: the update is about 250 MB big.

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?

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.

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

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.

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!

For all "deadspace" fans!

There is a deadspace game for android available online somewhere..you need froyo and chainfire with the qualcomm driver for it to work...it doesn't work on gingerbread roms btw...I had to revert back to froyo but the game is awesome.
update..after playing it for the past 2 days, the is the best android high quality game i have ever played..u can change customs, upgrade your weapons and every single aspect of the character...i have tried every gameloft game except for the w.o.w clone and i can't tell it has a better story and gameplay than all the gameloft games currently available for android..it almost feels like the console version and i suggest everyone tries it...9/10 so far but some of the controls are iffy
Isn't it a game loft game?

Has anyone found why this game doesn't work on GB ROMs? Or know a workaround? Got it to work on my a100 tab but as noted above, doesn't work on my Epic

it only works for sgs models on froyo and also doesn't work on galaxy nexus (read it in a forum somewhere)..but some samsung phones that can run the game in gingerbread are galaxy ace, gio, mini and the droid charge apparently (can't confirm this phone). I think it has to do the way samsung gingerbread update messed with the gpu (assumption) plus the game was originally made for xperia play...i have tried all chainfire settings and i can't get it to work on my epic on gb and cm7 (it freezes the phone) but works fine in froyo..

I also tried running it using Chainfire3D, didn't work. It loads up about 2 seconds of the intro and just closes. For the time being, I'm enjoying GB more than Froyo so I won't be going back, although I wanted to play this pretty bad :\ sad days...
I got it running on my Iconia Tab tho using Chainfire 3D. The only problem is that it only runs in portrait mode, not landscape. So I'm cut off short from both sides of the gameplay. Turning into corners is a pain since I'm half blind and I can't see anything besides me unless its literally like beside me already :\ its playable, but kind of annoying.

I also tried on gingerbread with no dice awhile ago, that's awesome thought to know that our phones can play console quality games.

Posted a thread about this -- apologies for not finding this one first.
I'm severely bummed, because I love this game, and am only about 1/3 of the way through it. I loathe the idea of having the flash back to Froyo to play it, and am not going to... YET.
I mentioned in my other thread, though, that Shadowgun DOES work on the E4G with GB and Chainfire3D+NVIDIA plug-in. While the game does need the horsepower of the Galaxy S II, it plays well on the E4G, with just a little stuttering here and there as the graphics H/W can't keep up. Hasn't interfered with gameplay at all, though, and it's an AWESOME game!!
EDIT: Haven't tried it with an OC kernels yet. Just flashed Samurai 3.01++, with a turbocharge GPU clock, and support for CPU OC. I'll crank it up and give Shadowgun a try, report back here later.

Is it possible to decompile the deadspace APK and recompile for use with gingerbread?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
This unfortunately does not work on my my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate running 2.3.5 and no way am i going back to froyo! Although i do miss playing it. It crashes at the EA logo and just sends me back to my home screen.
I used it on my TW based EI22 Epic rom. Coupled with chainfire it worked fine on gingerbread. Runs perfect with no additional mods on cm7 now.

I downloaded DeadSpace from SamsungApps for free & it works great on CleanGB MTD.
Just to give feedback, Deadspace runs great on EI22 (CleanGB) and Cyanogen 7 RC0 through nightly 16, to include using Samurai kernel with overclocked GPU. I got mine from the Android Market, I think it was on sale. Great game to show off the Epic's performance and black levels.

[ Discussion]-The one game you always go back to.

This isn't a ratings topic or a top whatever topic...This is a topic of what game you just can't get enough of. Don't get me wrong there's a lot of great games out there. I'm curious of the diversity of the crowd/ XP community.
For me...its Minecraft. I started playing it on android & after uninstalling to check out other games, I always bring it back. I like how smooth it runs. Its the one game that I have truly never had a problem with...but enough about my choice.
R800x-unlocked/ Aokp-m6/ 4.0.4
Im with you, always have installed minectaft, for me the best sandbox game.

MMMMMMMMMMinecraft!
And Asphalt 7, but since i do development of roms, i mainly change roms so i dont stick with much gamez.
Being a classic gamer, I bought my xperia play mainly for emulators. The first console game I ever owned was Sonic 1 for the master system. Even these can always pick that up and not get bored
I found that the xperia play is great with NES and GBA emulators, maybe I'll try to get a SNES one soon as well.
pokemon FTW !!!
Pokemon and emulator gaming.

My Boy! is my favourite. The UI is tidy and easy to follow. It has the ability to disable linear filtering. Cheat support was included with the latest update. I get full speed in all the games I play without needing to use frameskip.
VGBA has good compatibility but the UI sucks and is battery heavy. Also the developer is employing dirty tricks like preventing people with LP installed from using the app.
GBA.emu you would expect to be good but performs very poorly on the Xperia PLAY and other single core devices. You get lag every 10-15s with frameskip on, and is slow as hell/unplayable with frameskip off.
Gameboid used to be my favourite until My Boy! replaced it. Both Gameboid and My Boy! are similar in the UI and performance. My Boy! is slightly better in both those areas, and seeing as Gameboid is no longer being developed, it made sense to buy My Boy!.
Sonic episodes 1 & 2
I allways go back to them!!
Draw Something... Yea yea yea, make fun of me, I keep uninstalling it because nobody plays it. I always go back to installing it after a few weeks without it because I feel like playing with someone. Nobody plays it anymore, so I uninstall it. Repeat process.

Bad graphic performance

Hi guys,
like many of you. i just received nexus 10 yesterday after some basic browsing, everything went fine.
now i want to try google earth to see how screen will perform. it was so laggy to the unusable.
then i tried some tablet made game (http://machinarium.net/), is also very slow.
please see youtube video 1 & video 2.
so is my unit defected? or this normal can anyone confirm please.
thank you in advance
Games running very badly
Overall Responsiveness?
On the first link, some people there are also experiencing some FPS issues, but a possible fix for that seems to be to Force GPU Acceleration. The second link has a reviewer mentioning dropped frames a lot, which might mean it could be a common experience. Forcing GPU Acceleration though might help.

Runs slow for me too. Its not just you. I have a feeling...and I hope I'm wrong. The resolution this thing outputs cannot be handled by the GPU in graphic intensive games...

Instead of knee jerking why don't you send an email to the developers to report the issue and find out when they're going to optimize their apps for Nexus 10.
If demanding games like NFS MW, Dead Trigger, MC 3, etc. run smoothly I don't how they can't optimize that child's game.

Asphalt 7 slow with recent update?

Has anyone else noticed asphalt just got really choppy after the most recent update? (App update). It played great for me prior to it. No ROM or kernel changes here. Very disappointed. Any suggestions?

Asphalt 7 is slow for me as well. Runs great on my Nexus 4. I noticed the same thing with NFS: Most Wanted, slow on Nexus 10, fast on Nexus 4. I assumed it was due to the larger amount of pixels being pushed with the 10 versus the 4, but your comment suggests this is not the case, which of course makes me happy.
But still frustrating that we have slow performance with some games.
