[Q] Gaming performance

I've basically been playing a few games like asphalt 7&8 and modern combat 4 and I've noticed that it doesn't really perform well. MC4 and asphalt 7 ran quite well with occasional stutters, but overall it's quite smooth. On asphalt 7, if I were to go to the homescreen and back into the game, the accelerometer will become laggy, like... the car would take 1/2 a second to turn when I tilt the device instead of instantly. The device also gets very hot on asphalt 7. On asphalt 8, the screen transitions in games are not smooth at all, and in game I would have frequent framerate drops to 20+. I've watched youtube videos of G2 playing asphalt 8 and they never had that problem. The phone doesn't get very hot but it still is slow. Anyone else had performance problems with gaming? I'm really bummed cos I can't exchange it. :crying::crying::crying:

Is there some kind of Power Saving mode on the G2?
I don't own the phone yet, but On the Galaxy devices you have Power Saving toggle that will underclock the CPU causing games to run like crap.

Strange, because I play all games smooth and maxed out on my G2 (international).

Played modern combat for 1 hour straight no lag
Best device i played this game on as well, actually feels a little smoother than my nexus 10.
No lag and no heat.

I play those two games as well. No issues on my g2. The accelerometer is a bit laggy though I guess.

I'm pretty sure these games just have bad optimisation for Snapdragon 800, and people just are used to gaming at low framerates, because this and this is exactly the type of stuff I see too. Remember that YouTube is limited to 30 fps, but you can still see how this dips to 15 at times, which just shouldn't be possible on a Snapdragon 800 as we can see that this game runs butter smooth. Might also be the dreadful thermal throttling, that LG really need to fix.

Does GTA still lags so badly on G2?
On nexus 5 (same s800 soc) it's much better:

Testing GTA III to see whether I should get a new one now. Would you say it runs at 60 FPS on stock firmware? Would it be possible for you to film you playing it and upload it for me? (send the file, YouTube is rubbish for showing how a game runs)

Testing Vice City on G2 gave me abysmal performance. If GTA III runs this bad too, I will get another unit and test further. I hope my unit is faulty, otherwise LG really needs to bring 4.4 to G2 and fix it.

Maybe it's because LG is lowering gpu frequency to save battery, have you tried a custom kernel?

You can also try this:
1) In the dialer write 3845#*802#
2) Set High Temperature Property to ON
3) power off the G2 and wait 10 seconds, then reboot
Let me know if it works, thanks.

First of all, thanks for the help, I appreciate it
Second of all, after trying this, it didn't fix the problems I had with Vice City at all. I guess I'll have to take it to the store tomorrow for replacement and if it still doesn't work I'll wait for an update to roll out. No way this baby isn't gonna be mine.

I can tell you I've tested 3 g2s 1 was a att version 2 were T-Mobile . 1 was stock other 2 were rooted and running a custom ROM. I only play 1 game, clash of clans .. I can only go a few mins and the phone heats up a lot and the screen becomes laggy to the point I have to shut the game off for a few mins. so its def a issue with this phone. And I've played that game on like 6 androids and I phones and never had this issue.

This seems to be a general issue with the phone, so I guess LG will fix it when they bring 4.4 to it. Will try and get another G2 today to see whether I got unlucky with my first.
OP, sorry for hijacking, what I really wanted was to check whether it's an issue with the phone or whether it's an issue with our specific phones.

My guess is its just these phones in general .

Bad kernel, bad optimization from both LG and the game devs and old Android version. The hardware is great, everything else... Not so much.

Went and got myself another unit. Still has the same problems. LG ought to fix this.

Dead Trigger 1 & 2 runs perfectly smooth, but Doodle Jump occasionally stutters.

Anyone else getting major lag in games? (Hearthstone)

I just tried playing Hearthstone with my S7 Edge and the lag is horrible. The game is almost unplayable. Not to mention, the game runs in some ultra high saturation settings. This game ran faster on my S5 and a lot faster on my 6S+.
Is anyone experiencing lag in any other games?

Thanks for the advise but I don't even have Game Launcher activated.

i'm having the same issue with pinball arcade, like if there' some type of game lag. it's unfortunate because its the only game app i play lol. now it's useless unless i enjoy lag pinball. very weird, hopefully samsung can fix this or the app creators.

Runs very Smooth with my s7 edge. But i have the exynos chip, maybe you have the snapdragon...

Runs really choppy SS well. I have an iPhone 6s plus and it's not even close. I figured new Samsung could hang

Runs smooth on my s7 exynos version. Does the lag appear immediately or after a while as when I do play on my phone it's usually for no more than 30 min at a time.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Galaxy S7 Edge, Exynos Polish retail presales. I got lags on everything. Touchwiz, chrome, facebook, games, videos (however only in software-decoded). If a video player is using hardware acceleration, then it's fine. html5 embedded videos run (with individual pixels flashing with different colors), but fail when I try to change the viewing mode to horizontal, try to run fullscreen or skip few seconds of the video. I see same flashing pixels when browsing instagram pictures. The most irritating is VR mode. Flashing pixels all the time, a 10-20 second freeze every other minute in any app, however, when running 360 videos, most of them run smoothly without a lag. I ran Antutu benchmarks, but the score was ~101K. Is that the general lag some people are experiencing and hope Samsung will release patches, or should I get my phone serviced? Is there a way to run maintenance tests to check what's wrong with it?

Just to be clear, I have the SS version and the phone did not lag anywhere else. It was only in games. I fixed it though.
Those who are getting unplayable lag while in games you can download "Package Remover Pro" and remove "Game Services" and "Gamepad Services".
Now my games finally don't lag and they look much better.

Let me give that a try. I will post results

I have a Snapdragon 820 S7E, and Hearthstone worked perfectly for me for an hour yesterday. No issues so far.

I don't have any lag issues but disabling the 2 gaming packages fixed the over saturation, thanks! (On a Exynos model btw)

I'm getting lag even in Monument Valley on my S7 Edge Exynos version and no lag at all on my Huawei Mate 8.. I'll try disabling those two game packages.
Hmm this seems to trigger Knox? If so I don't want to do it.

Still having gaming lag issues even with package Disabler. Need advice otherwise I'm going back to my 6S plus

Yea, I am also still getting lag in Hearthstone. I can't believe Samsung would release such a half baked phone. The most powerful mobile GPU around and they manage to screw it up.

I don't get lag on my SD 820 Edge when playing Hearthstone... I do however get force closes. I have to then rush to get back logged in before I lose my "turn". Anyway, it's been pretty disappointing.

I get lag angry birds 2 and tekken nothing os playable. That relates to something sammy changed in android 6. As note 5 have same issue on android 6 but not on 5.1.1.

I am playing Hearthstone on my Exynos S7 Edge for a few weeks now.The game runs pretty smooth while dropping frames time to time but when I activate Power Saving mode it doesn't feel like it is 30 fps.
I play on computer all the time at 30 fps and it is great.
When I use the Game Tuner just to lower the resolution and texture quality,FPS also drops for some reason.

Hmmm. mine does drop frames every now and then but hearthstone doesn't have major lags. I'm on exynos.
I only play for 1 or two battles in a row. maybe that's the reason? I haven't played a lot. only a little

[root & non-root fix] buttery smooth gaming & no fps drop [100% working]

Anyone else notice the lag when playing games?
Especially Blazblue, Bleach Brave Souls, 3D games, etc?
WELL youve found the right place here!
ROOT SOLUTION (100% LAG FREE)
Buttery JUST like an iphone 7! 100% LAG FREE
1)Install BatMan Rom in the Samsung S8 Rom development (Credits for making the rom!)
2)Install PekakaKernel
3) Root as Usual with magisk
4) After phone has been setup, download Kernel audiutor app
5) Before you play your game, set Minimum and Maximum both to 2314mhz for the BIG cpu & LITTLE cpu & GPU to min & max 572mhz
6) Click on governor and change to "Performance"
7) At the top of the settings page, click Apply on Boot
8)DONE! Enjoy your iphone buttery Gaming experience!
My lag in Bleach Brave souls and every other game has gone. So happy I made the decision to go custom rom & kernel!
NON-ROOT SOLUTION:
(decreases lag by ~40%!)
1)Install new launcher (nova) or anything light weight. Do not use Samsung's stock launcher.
2) Install Samsung's Game Tuner App & set your game settings to HW +5, and your resolution to however you like. I have mine on 100% as it feels snappier.
3) DONE!
you should notice 30-50% less lag and games will be actually be "playable" (remember to always play with game tuner app, with HW+5 setting) but you will still feel the lag here and there and in certain graphic intensive situations, it will still drop frame but its your best non-root solution!
if this worked for you, please donate me a beer or 2 thru my paypal at [email protected] cheers! :laugh:

Same here man. Even a game as simple as the Tsum tsum game lags. My wife ain't happy about that as her iphone had no issues with games.

What kind of lag are you experiencing in Bleach, Co-op lag or standard quest? I haven't had any issues, playing right now.

Just tried the game out and have zero lag. Smooth like my pixel.

I would say when it comes to apps specially gaming give at least a month before updates for them start rolling out. Most of them aren't optimised for the Galaxy S8. Once updates start rolling out i believe the experience will get a whole lot smoother.

anybody plays Mobile Legends?
my problem is the game isn't smooth.
there's constantly lag/delay.
I've tried downloading Package Disabler Pro, and disabled GamePad & Game Services.
it did make my game smoother, but the lag/delay still can be felt.

You can really notice the difference when you play something on iOS then play on this phone. Marvel Contest of champions is my go to game. Open that game on this phone and on an iPhone, not onlky does the iphone open is much faster, going through the menus is a breeze.
Tsum Tsum lags on this phone as well compared to the iphone and so does subway surfers. This is pretty pathetic with suppose top of the line specs.

Same here. Playing Fifa Mobile and it lags. This is really frustrating. Such a device and than this. Even on my old huawei p9 no lags. Anybody found a solution?

No, Mali g71 is already supported on Mate9/P10, while Adreno 540 on non Samsung device already runs Riptide Renegade at 2k ultra settings and 60fps for an hour!
The SoC is clearly crippled on the s8 for battery score, high performance mode is BS, you really can do nothing before root to fix it, believe me I have been trying on my friends s8

I haven't had any such problems and I play marvel contest of champions and star wars force arena.
Not a hint lag or slowdown hardwear wise.

No lag on mine either. Whether gaming or during anything. Phone is extremely fast.

Another thing, Just play
Skyforce reloaded on an exynos S8 vs s821 device to see the much inferior graphics, Mali's support is not great

I have severe problems playing Hearthstone. It sometimes doesn't register clicks and freezes for a couple of seconds.

I have no problems with lag, but I do with crashing. Bleach Brave Souls is constantly crashing. Froze game launcher, no launcher.

High performance mode doesn't make any changes to the cpu or gpu, sadly - only display resolution, brightness, etc. g71 is on mate9/p10, but with less cores = less heat. Also only Samsung goes extreme to gain a little more battery life. Sad as in reality you pay so much for super high end phone and the games play worse vs 3 years old phones. This is unacceptable, but Samsung gets away with it every years and keep doing it.

I think anyone posting here should make the distinction of they have exynos or s835 s8, the exynos version is just pathetic in running any game and if it runs good initially just play 5 minutes before it goes to hell, a phone with such hype and raving reviews should not be given a blind eye about this, it's inexcusable including the UI which lags in every corner
I just hope the s835 version runs things better (I know the UK doesnt)

Considering the games you listed are all just simple 2D games it should run them easy and battery is gonna last a long time.

No lag on: DB Dokkan Battle, Fire Emblem: Heroes, Summoner Wars, Pokémon Go and Tap Titans 2

What if those games just can't see 18:9 and are hardcoded to run in 1280x720? And when stretched they stutter somehow?
another example is RR3 which throttles to 18fps often which is way too low for such powerful 821

Well, you basically choose in which aspect ratio you wanna play games that don't support 18:9.
You can choose the usual default format 16:9 (with black left and right borders), optimized format 16.7:9 (with small left and right black borders) or 18:9 (fullscreen). It basically crops the games window to your liking. Really easy to set up and works like a charm.
Most games don't support 18:9 yet, only some new ones do, but i play pretty much all of them in 18:9 np. Performance is the same in either of those ratios, i'm pretty sure, as it only crops the image.
If a game is hard-coded to lower resolution then i'm pretty sure it plays at that resolution and doesn't up-sample. I've played a cpl of games hard-coded to 1080p and they actually still looked great despite running on a 1440p screen. You can still choose aspect ratio tho.

I've had no issues. So far I've played Pokeymanz Go, Magikrap Jump, Devil Twins, Sailor Drops, TriggerKnight, Dungeon Vilage, Game Dev Story, Ninja Village, Plague Inc, Infectonator, Tales of Link with no issues. The only time I've managed to make this thing stutter is when streaming music over BT and the phone switches back and forth between wifi and mobile data a couple times (this happens on my way home in the afternoon. It picks up my 802.11ac, then I whip around a corner and it drops it, whip back and it picks it back up).

I've played King's Raid on lg g6 and its lag pretty bad, i did change resolution , battery saver and graphic quality but still lag big time.
Can any of u guys give it a try?
But other similar games run very smooth which is strange.
Thx

That's probably not weird considering it won't even install for me through Google Play. It's says it's not compatible with my phone.
Doesn't look like a demanding game so it's probably just not optimized.

They claim that in Mushroom Wars Space and Mushroom Wars 2 G6 is especially lagging. Could anyone prove this claim?

What about framed/2? they say G6 is snail laggish in this

I play this game on my LG G6 and I can confirm that it does lag like CRAZY! Especially BD Raid DAMN!!! Feels like its gonna blow. But everything else is super smooth. Weird thing is my Note7 Exynos 8890 runs Kings Raid on max settings super smooth.

I have zero lags. But I have my G6 pretty much debloated and I always disable the, "Game Battery Saver" option. I think that option makes a difference.
But I mostly only play racing games and COD games.
Sent from my LG-H872 using XDA Labs

It seems it has problem with 2D games. My wife's G6 lags like crazy in Angry birds pop. I tried to force GPU rendering in developer settings, but didn't help. I even lowered game resolution in battery settings

No lag at all playing pes2018

Yes, it does lag, but only when charging and playing at full resolution. It also only charges at about 1000 miliamps when screen is on. Not a huge deal for me, but I do hope oreo update will fix this.

Mine has this weird thing where a game will be super smooth for about 5 seconds but goes choppy, then I have to pause and resume for it to go back to smooth for another 5s.
This mainly happens for me in RR3, Plague Inc, Beast Quest and a few others.
Must be a software issue as it's obviously capable enough hardware. Hope Oreo fixes this!
Can't deal with low frame rates!!
Anyone else had this issue?

For me every game is working quite well except Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. Which I really like so it's quite annoying.

PUBG mobile really stuck

Hi, I just got the Galaxy s10 plus and I am having a weird issue. When I play PUBG mobile it is really stuck and I have fps drops every second or 2, the game is really not playable.. I have the exynos version. Is it possible that my previous s7 edge ran the game better?! I tried reinstalling the game and cleaning the cache but nothing works.. Any ideas?

PUBG used to run at 15fps when it came out on console, they're just not the smartest Devs.

I had the Huawei P20 pro before and it ran on 50-60 fps with no stutter.. Is it possible that a 2 yo processor is better then the new Exynos on the S10 plus? Or am I missing anything?

No.
The P20 Pro is a generation behind and it even has less clusters, if anything it's 100% Pubg's fault for not being optimised to new hardware, it's common for new devices to suffer that for a few months.

pubg on my mobile has the buttons beyond the screen even. it sucks big time. so i keep playing it on my mate 20pro for now...

i play some on mine and no issues whatsoever. Runs better then it did on my pixel 3 xl

Hey buddy, similar issue here but it's not unplayable. Just a few frame drops every 10-20 secs or so. I could play it just fine on my note 9, with an exynos chip, and so that leads me to believe either pubg or the newer exynos chip hasn't had a software optimisation update yet.. it will come and when it does it clearly will be far more stable than the previous chip.

I have the Exynos version and it runs at 60 fps with no problem. I think you should go to game launcher and at the bottom right there is a settings wheel with performance logo, press on it and then select focus on performance and make sure you are not on power saving mode. hope it works bro! good luck.

I was facing same issue fps dropping constantly i have flashed my phone through odin and all fixed now.

no issue for me. I've selected rounded corners and made this game full screen.
it depends on which side of the landscape u r playing on.

I downloaded it just to try it for you and there's no stutter or low fps, I think you should do a factory reset and follow my guide, there's something wrong.

Rather annoyingly I seem to be getting the same issue as the OP. Gaming performance (pubg) really hasn't been great with frequent stuttering and frame drops. Worse performance than my note 9. But if others of you can play without fault then it is something more localised. I don't have many apps installed, my phone is fresh as of two days, I'm using performance mode in the gaming tool app, and also am not in power saving mode.... any other guesses as to mine and op issue might be?
Any help appreciated

Mine runs Pubg brilliantly with HDR and ultra framerate.

s10 has a problem with the separation of sound. When I play and talk to discord I hear the game very badly. Note 9 does not have this pr0blem

So I played pubg last night, and my persist issue with the frame drops continued throughout the game. It's not unplayable by all accounts, however it is distracting and does leave me at a slight disadvantage.
Anyhow, I decided to have a play around in dev options, in my phone settings. And after some googling I decided to try "force GPU rendering" - I then tried pubg and the frame drops had completely stopped. I have no idea why this is, as from my research most developers enable it by default in their games, and when I googled it people mentioned a placebo effect.
Placebo effect or not, I can categorically state that the frame drops stopped, and force GPU rendering was the only option I changed out of the game.
Weird... would love to know anyones opinion on this?

Everyone having problem playing PUBG do the following.
1. Update game launcher ( Samsung just released an update)
2. Log out of the game
3. Hit repair on the right Corner on the login screen
4. Tick all the boxes, done
5. Restart the game and let it download the updates again
6. Restart again and then try to play PUBG
7. OPTIONAL: Switch off Dolby atoms
Let me know if this works

calling glorified arma 3 modders "devs" makes me laugh for all the wrong reasons, that is literally where the game was cloned from after all.

I never had interest in either game but I can imagine they'd do that.

No lags or frames drop? HDR + extreme?
