Just downloaded Plants vs Zombies 2 to play and getting quite a bit of lag while throughout the game, especially when scrolling the map to select different stages. Gameplay is okay with only a slight amount of lag.
Anyone else experiencing this or do I have a lemon?
I have played it a bit. no noticeble lag. where there many apps open in the background? try closing them by pressing your homebutton. or download the game again. i hope i helps
offtopic: my note 3 get hot arround the camera when i play it. i guess the GPU is located there.
Tried it immediately after reboot, no dice

Yeah scrolling the map is a bit jittery. Also starts to lag a bit when a lot is going on the screen. It's pretty demanding for a casual game.

Yeah pretty much what I'm experiencing. My friends on note 2 say they aren't experiencing any though. Will check it out on my colleague's note 2 later

Me too
I am also facing the same thing. I am playing it on my Note 3 and it's extremely laggy. Not sure if it's the game or does it require some other extension to make it smooth?
solution
I already got the solution. The one I was using was a hacked installation file with the additional files. So I just ditched it and downloaded a new one from play stores and it works perfect. They even updated the stages so I think they fixed the bugs and lags on the latest plants vs zombies 2.

Ok so i recently stimbled upon a game called dungeon defenders and its pretty graphics heavy. Problem is when you go into a multiplayer game it lags like crazy unless you turn the graphics to minimum in which case the game looks like ****.
Im running the bionix newgen rom not overclocked or.anything, but what could i do to help speed the game up without sacraficing graphics

Try the stock rom, or try not to put the graphics resolution to full. the game still looks good if it's halfway.

You need a phone with Tegra 2 processor to run smooth. Dungeon Defenders is optimized for Tegra 2. Unreal Engine is optimized for Tegra 2 also.

yup, but the tegra 2 phones that are out now isn't really that smooth with this game. Maybe the SGS2 can handle this game very well.

In single player my game is smooth. But in multiplayer it is not. This is an issue with a lot of games out there, and it happens do to the network coding in the game and it being crappy and sucking up a ton of CPU time. A PC game from 7 years ago could play upto 150 people in a single map, but once 60 people got on everyone complained that the game played horribly and the frame rate sucked, but play with 20 people and it was nice and smooth. This has been an issue for lots of games for a long time, and was one of the primary reasons LAN parties came about, better and smoother graphics from a local 1gig lan compared to the internet and lagginess because the CPU didn't have to work as hard with the network code.
Try playing a multiplayer VIA WIFI with both people on the same WIFI and see if that makes a difference.
I'm curious if anyone ever found out if there are any ports that I could open on my router to get better connections.

I uninstalled the game because it kept freezing my phone and was laggy. Too bad too cause it seems like a fun game.

Just purchased the game and for my surprise it is running really bad here. Low fps and laggy as hell.
I have been researching and it seems that tegra 3 has some issues with games from gameloft.
Anyone else tried and had problems like this ? I am trying to find a solution for this but so far no luck.

Yeah same. Used different kernels too. It's pretty much unplayable.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Forgot to say that I am using motley kernel. If the problem is with tegra maybe it possible to emulate some other api....
Well...back on looking for a solution....

The PowerVR / Adreno 2xx / Mali chips do really well with Gameloft games. I guess nVidia needs to increase their market share before Gameloft shows them any love. My phone is using the Adreno 205 chip, and plays some games better than my Tegra device(which sucks).
If i am not mistaken Chainfire had an app to emulate tegra drives on mali so we could run games like shadowgun.
Maybe the opposite could be done either ?

Heh... maybe
Let me try that ChainFire3D, and report back, because I'd like to think this was 25 cents wasted hahaha
*edit* DO NOT flash ChainFire3D. It sent my tablet into bootloops and had to restore a nandroid. Little bug with this phone won't let you go into recovery from bootloader without it being plugged in.
id say its your setup, its running very smooth here, and lag free. do you have force gpu rendering enabled in the main device settings, developer options? rasbean jelly rom with the latest trinity kernel.
Same here runs great, using paranoid android 2.17 and montley kernel 1.1.1 gpu 484.
Runs horribly for me too. Stock kernel and XenonHD,no over clock. Laggy as hell.

Runs laggy here too on rasbeanjelly stock kernal, Franco kernal seemed to have slightly better performance buts dissapointing that gameloft is having us resort to using custom roms/kernals just to get almost decent performance in there games, back on tegra 2 gameloft games were extremely smoove what happened here?

It seems to be a miss and hit scenario, some report it playable and some report unplayable. Suppose everyone has a different outlook on playable, anyway, Gameloft games aren't optimised for Tegra 3. As leelaa pointed out they only use 1 core, which is pretty annoying. Also this should be in Themes & Apps section?

batman runs fine here..non-rooted..very mild lag sumtimes..but playable..i have complain bout asphalt 7...low gfx..terrible frame rate...

You are correct they aren't optimized yet, if they were you would see all the HD titles on the wapstore, and there's actually none on there other than the simple free games that they have, but hopefully that changes soon

Ran fine on rooted stock when I bought it a while back. Pretty graphics but it's more like watching a movie with predictive actions. After a few tries got bored and uninstalled it.
I'm on stock unrooted and it works perfectly. Very smooth.

mine lags... almost unplayable.
Could it be possible that some 'variants' of Nexus 7 runs fine?
Let s try to discover what are the settings of those who runs it smooth and copy it.
I will begin to test it here.

I disabled the force gpu under developer and it got way way better. Now it is playable. My nexus frooze while playing. I will increase the voltage and how it works.
Nice...i will keep testing

How's emulator performance, anyone tried them yet (PPSSPP for example)?

I'm installing it now, I'll report back shortly.
EDIT: it runs buttery smooth just as everything else I've tried!
Asphalt 8 smooth as butter even on high,no frame drops anywhere,
modern combat 4 is fantastic too.

I don't own many PSP games but it looks like they work alright.
There were a few sound glitches on a few (this probably has more to do with emulator quality). But the phone smashes through the frames. You even get a decent amount of speed up.
Ppsspp all the way... currently playing dbz n naruto

I try Liberty city story, he run a 80% of real speed
If you are using the emulator fpse you have probably noticed the open gl performance is bad on this tablet (if similiar to the 10.1) To fix this download the open gl plugin through epsxe and transfer that one to fpse. I dont know why but it has MUCH better performance. Also how are emulators in general running for you guys

Haven't installed any yet, but I plan to do so this evening. I'll report back later. I own all the .emu emulators and SuperGNES...Oh, and PPSSPP...And FPSE...And NostalgiaNES.|
This made my husband very happy. Working well for him now. Thanks for the tip!

No problem. I was running fpse and epsxe and just kept noticing that open gl was much smoother and more stable on epsxe. So I figured what the heck maybe its the plugin and voila!! Fpse has better options and playability and with the epsxe plugin it runs incredibly well at high graphics. Ff7 looks awesome with very occasional lag (like when starting a battle)

hey guys
Is anybody else facing this?
When I was doing a bit of phone research before I got my grand prime, I stumbled upon this Indian guy video on YouTube in which he plays some games, one if these games is asphalt 8 which he plays at high settings with no noticeable lag.
Now the problem is that I can't even play asphalt at medium settings, I mean the game is absolutely unplayable, bunch of lag and frame drops and stuff.
Actually my phone hangs and freezes a lot randomly, even candy crush freezes at times.
So... anyone of you guys are experiencing this kind of behavior?
Im rooted and on whatever firmware that the mohan method installs, done a hard reset already and it only got a bit better.

Touchwiz is likely to lag no matter how good the system hardware is, The main reason is we're having latest touchwiz Ux on a phone which is made for Nature Ux 2.5.
To improve performance I would suggest you to use any CPU controller app (No-Frills) to put your phone to performance mode. Also use greenify to hibernate apps that you don't use often to increase the available ram.
Press thanks if It helped.
awesome, thx be trying that
