[Q] Modern Combat 5 Graphics - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I am a new user here (actually I've been using XDA for help since ages!).
I created this new thread since there wasn't a thread like this since the game launched.
So I installed Modern Combat 5 on my Nexus 4 which is running stock 4.4.4 KitKat and Franco kernel with 1.944 GHz over clock and 450 MHz GPU over clock. The thing is, I can't enable Ultra Graphics settings in the game. There are only three settings in-game I.e. Quality-optimal-performance. I enabled the quality settings but it doesn't enable the graphics as seen in trailers or high end smartphone gameplays. I checked out Shared prefs folder in data/data/com.GLoFTMC5(something like that I don't remember)/shared prefs and opened each and every file but I couldn't find any graphics settings! Can someone help me to enable the ultra graphics? Thanks and greatly appreciated!

Looks like it will take some time figuring it out!

get the app gltools (chainfire 3d might work too) install, find the game in the app, enable custom settings, use fake gpu, and set template ---> tegra shield(tegra4) this will work 100%! have fun with full effects

I tried gltools once when I was on 4.4.3 and it didn't turn out so good. My device got stuck in bootloop and I uninstalled it from recovery (fortunately it created an uninstall zip file for gltools).

I have enabled it. The game lags on max settings when something explodes.

Yes, the game lags a little during explosion . have you overclocked your nexus? I have @1.944 GHz and [email protected] MHz so the game stays on 30 fps constant and during explosions around 17-20 fps. Oh and also the I use intellithermal instead of thermald and have it at 75° C before the CPU throttles down (although when playing the game, CPU's max temp is around 65°)

But I don't run it on 1.944 all the times. Usually I keep it @1.1 GHz with snake charmer (2 cores offline) and when gaming 1.512 GHz and when playing games like dead trigger 2/Real Racing 3/MC5 I over clock it to 1.9 GHz

My device is an Asus TF701T (Tegra 4) and the game looks so ugly.. I also can't change the graphics it only says optimal. Looks like the resolution of the textures isn't optimized for QHD screens

3D games wont work on our SG3 or will work but with many problems.
My advice is dont waste money on 3D games (requires 3d video support) for sg3.

It depends where did you get those games. Some/most pirated versions have white textures because they are not pirated correctly. Download a legit version and you'll be fine. Maybe legit nfs works, I'm old enough not to try it, it's 200 + mb! Raging thunder 1 and 2 work without any issues on Froyo.
Why nfs does not work on Sg3 is a question you should ask Gameloft.
And for the last time, Sg3 has a GPU!

use wifi to download the 150 mb gamedata and you should be fine.. If it doesn't work, search for "nfs shift best android downloads" in google.. You can download the gamedata from there and put in the sdcard.. Good luck

Impossible Game lagging

Whenever I'm playing "The impossible game", it's being a little choppy sometimes.
This is the only game that lags. It might be that I just haven't noticed it before, but I think it was working fine before.
Anyways to fix this?
(I've tried installing other roms, miui etc.)

Maybe the games you play are not very compatible with S2.
Sometimes, as Tegrak said, the GPU runs at 160mhz instead of 267mhz in games...

3d games you play?

Hey guys, after successfully overclocking to 1.7 ghz, with I have been on the lookout for a 3d game that might challenge this processor. Any suggestions?
Also, I'm trying to determine whether or not the gpu was overclocked with the ts alpha 96 kernel I flashed? I'm assuming no.

Check out Dead Trigger, it's free and pretty awesome graphics.
Most kernels aren't overclocked by default.
Right, I had too use the trinity app to actually overclock. What app would i use for a gpu overclock? I'll try dead trigger
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Try Asphalt or Temple Run
Dead Trigger is a good choice. Any THD optimized game should heat up the device just fine.
Try E. Warriors 2
Download the tegrazone app which features all new tegra games

Nova3 or shadowgun thd are the most graphic intense games out now. or mass effect infiltrator. dead trigger good but its graphics wont tax system as much as those listed oreviously.

Batman runs terrible on my nexus

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.

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....
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
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 ?

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?

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.

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.

Tegra 3 graphics

Any way to enable the extra settings in something other than dead trigger?

you want physics (physix) like in nvidia pc games, you require an actual tegra but for many games you don't , see link below, haven't tested it myself

chainfire 3d injects the modules between the game and phone to make tegra run on normal devices. he unfortunately dropped support,
No. There is no way to just "turn them on" Those modules are written specifically for tegra 3. Let's say you got the tegra 3 .apk of dead trigger or the boat racing game(can't remember the name) the apk would crash upon starting because its not written for our processors. The s4 wouldn't know what the hell to do lol.
Chain fire is an option but like he said, no support anymore.

In the end all mobile 3D games are atm _only_ using OpenGLES2 as graphics api. So every game could run on every phone with a powerful GPU. Sometimes it is as easy as just changing config values like in the unity based game dead trigger. When investing more time during development you can optimize your game for special GPUs: Use api extensions to speed up performance or to make the graphics look more nice. Use special texture compressions for performance and memory footprint, use special and or binary shaders, etc, etc. All this leads to the game is only running on a special GPU with the provided resources, but this happens only in the last step during development and doesn't mean that any game is heavily/only optimized for e.g. tegra. It's only fine tuning to compensate their moderate mobile GPU design atm...
