Huge freamerate drops while playing Modern Combat 5 - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any of you guys experience freamerate drops in Modern Combat 5 or any other demanding game? I've had those in Real Racing 3 before switching kernels too. They are totally random and can slow the game down to 5fps even. Switching performance mode on doesn't help at all.
I mean, 6P is one of the most powerful devices on the mobile market and it can't handle the game that's been around for quite some time?

Jetcar Stunts and Modern Combat 2 are amazing!

I just bought Jetcar Stunts, and I gotta say this and Modern Combat 2 really show what a high powered android device can do. Amazing graphics and just all around fun to play. MC2 allows for online team deathmatch and other game modes from the Call of Duty games everyone is familiar with. Just a heads up on 2 great games that are well worth their price. If Modern Combat 2 was on the marketplace, it would sell like hot cakes. Gameloft is missing the boat.

Let's add and real racing 3 to the list! Really poor optimization EA! It is unacceptable to stutter on high end device, and noy just on XZ, but with other phones too.

Are these games stuttering with other high end phones too? Like s4 and htc one? I will be a happier man to know this that its not just the XZ

Real racing 3 works fine for me and the graphics also good

Check what background processes are running 1st on your handset. Something could be hogging resources. I have not had any problems with any game so far.

Real Racing 3 looks as good as any other phone, is completely smooth for me. And I'm no casual gamer like some of you lot. I can tell the difference between 30/45/60 fps and tell when it happens.
IronMan 3 is working fine for me, it stutters a bit when entering the menus, but while playing it is very smooth and fast.
Real Racing 3 is running at 25-30 fps, but it keeps the same framerate along all the game with no stutters or noticeable drops.

The only stutter that I've noticed on Real Racing 3 is at the starting grid, before the start, when there's more than 10 cars ready to go...
for Iron Man 3, the further the distance you're flying, the more the game will stutter. And yes the menu is not very fluid either.
Can't download vice city at all currently

Remove the Anti virus
try this guys, try not to use anti virus
when playing, turn off stamina mode
hope it will work..
For me, Infecrinator really stutters in the menu(the game is 2D) and real racing sometimes when I'm speeding and at the start of every race.Also can't download GTA games, no matter which country I'm from

With the GTA games, it will probably be the developer's fault that they haven't flagged it as compatible with devices with the Z's resolution/dpi.

I can confirm that iron man 3 lagged. Dungeon defenders 4 on highest settings lags when you have a mob and use spells/skills.

Wow, try with inner camera, manual acceleration and brakes on the big races with lot of cars! The game stutters like hell, especially when the phone gets hot, and thermal control slows down cpu! I also can tell the difference in fps, and this is nowhere near to the satisfaction! It is a real shame, that the iphone 5 with far less raw power, can handle the game flawless! Put them side by side, and see the difference for yourself! And please, don't tell me that IOS is better by default in games!This is no excuse! That is not a good job done by the developer, or i am start to thinking that, the FullHD is too high for our CPU-GPU?!

I purchased GTA III and Vice City two weeks ago for my Z (damn i missed the special offer), and had no problems downloading, installing or playing. Now if i go to Play store it says Vice City is not compatible with my phone. Maybe they discovered some nasty bug and dropped compatibility until they relase an update. I play it and it works very well for me.
GTA III is still flagged as compatible though.
The fifa companion app and age if empires also stutters and lags.

I'd have to agree with the people saying Real Racing 3 slows down bad on the Xperia Z. Most people who say that it runs fine probably just tried out the first three races. The first real test to see if the phone runs the games properly is by playing the first endurance race; if you manage to go through that race without slowdowns at the end, then, let's say I'd like to know how you set your phone.
That said, all is not lost for Xperia Z users for that game. I did what most people would consider stupid and google'd how I could configure graphic settings of an app. I eventually found an app in Google Play that allows you to configure graphics settings for Real Racing 3; after setting it to medium, the game runs real well now. Turns out reflections are probably the resource hog that causes slowdowns.
So far, games I've tried that slow down in the Xperia Z:
- Real Racing 3 (unless you tweaked the graphics)
- Dungeon Defenders (when you're dealing with huge waves)

Games

Just games. Are there any crashes, low framerates in popular games or any other issues? Mostly I'm interested in GTA and adventure point-and-clicks but you may write your opinions on anything you want.
My kids like to play Minecraft on my G Pad and it seems to run fine. I have also played Artemis, which works great.
Battlefield 4 Commander App is a bit laggy on Stock ROM. But I think fixes will bring better fps soon.
I have played asphalt 7,8,and real racing 3 on the g tab and 2013 nexus, every now and then on the nexus 7 I've gotten a short stutter which has not happen with the g tab.
FIFA 14 and Asphalt 8 work without any issues.

Sorry but I haven't had a tablet or phone that didn't run hot with graphic intense games.

Exactly, and "overheat" is a bit of a strong term which suggests that the machine will crash or the hardware gets damaged after playing games for awhile. It gets warm but nothing out of the ordinary IMO.
I've been playing Flashout 3D, Assassin's Creed Pirates, Galaxy on Fire 2, Anomaly 2 and various other games and it's been able to run them all with no problems (Pirates does stutter every now and then but not enough to bother me and the fps is usually beyond 30).
The main problem for me when running games on the G PAD, is that they eat everything out of the battery from the phone. When I have only been playing the game for a short period of time, my battery soon goes down to 50% which is really annoying.
I would recommend "Jetpack Joyride", its free to download the google play store however is more designed towards kids. Its a truly addictive game and will keep you entertained for hours.
It plays even intensive games like Asphalt 8: Airborne well, and nothing ever felt overly laggy. But stock KitKat clearly comes with a huge speed boost, and switching from one model to the other for days at a time, I always noticed the difference.
I had major perfromence issues with games with lags, stutters, fps lower than 10... But it was all fixed after I moved to CyanogenMod
Since latest Nightly my two crashing games were fixed. Plants vs Zombies and Anthill.
I've got a question, is Order and Chaos Online working fine on your GPads? Mine is unplayable

Xperia Z3 Compact - Gaming

I haven't seen gaming theme for this particular phone yet so I'm opening it
How do you guys like this phone as a portable console and what games are you playing most often ?
These are the games I'm playing most often : Modern Combat 5, Boom Beach, GTA San Andreas, Real Steel WRB and Soulcraft 2.
Gameplay video:
I only play Minecraft PE and Wordz 2
Thanks for minecraft ! I'm playing it every day and it's really addictive.
Two new games are out for Android. First one is the internationally acclaimed WW2 franchise :
and the second one is relased long time ago for PSP and IOS devices but now it's out on Playstore and it has enhanced graphics, lighting and explosion effects
Brothers in Arms 3 for "free" by Gameloft? No thanks...
haven't got it yet, but wanna try some games
Waiting on mine to arrive, but can't wait to try out a bunch of humble bundle stuff. I was playing Shadowrun on my Z1 but i think it may be too small for that and baldurs gate. Any experience? Excited to try Exiles and a few others.
I don't prefer games on mobile but this looks awesome!
Long time no see ! The legendary Dungeon Hunter series returns with the roar of a dragon! New Dungeon Hunter 5
Modern Combat 5, which is a huge game with huge graphics, runs really well with no lags at all!! k:

I was playing at full graphics and it ran great. Stopped working correctly after upgrading to lollipop. Uninstalled eventually and didn't look back. Compared to DH4 this felt like a real slot machine and too much going on beyond dungeon crawling. Replaced with XCOM,which plays beautifully on this device. Worth the space.

Lags on games with my Nexus 6P

Hi guys, i've bought my nexus since april
I'm seeing some lags when i play on games that haven't got too much high graphics like Clash Royale and BBTAN but when i play on games that are "heavier" than BBTAN like Asphalt 8 and Mortal Combat X there aren't any lags.
Are you having the same problems that i have?
Me too ;(
Hello! It might be due to your wifi, you see, games like clash royal are very wifi based, while asphalt games do not use Wi-Fi.

Clash lags for me regularly regardless of the strength of my WiFi connection. Seems to improve with a reboot.
No lag in clash royale using benzo Rom

Hey Im having the same problems too BB-Tan seems to be dropping frames a lot, even though its not a game that requires data connection. Pokemon Go is choppy in the menus and my friend's one plus x is completely smooth. I have done extensive research regarding the Nexus 6P and its lag in graphically intensive games. No one seems to have found a solution, fix or even an explanation. Whereas there are tons of people talking about how smooth their nexus 6p is in games... Any help is appreciated.
I play Order and Chaos 2 and it only starts lagging after playing a while and the phone has got hot. I'm using the developer preview of android N, everything on my phone is stock.

Thermal throttling of Snapdragon 810 is the reason.

Edit: Opps, posted question in wrong thread.
But while I'm in this one, I fixed my game lag in Clash of Clans by editing/replacing the thermal-engine.conf file in the /system/etc/ directory with one that allows the SoC to get a bit more toasty before it throttles at all. It does make my 6P a tad warmer from what I can tell through my thinnish case, but for the performance trade off, it's well worth.
