Guys and gals,
after upgrading to atrix GB (on all roms this happens) certain games seem to stutter every once in a while. Fruit ninja thd stutters on 3+ fruit cuts, and moonchaser stutters periodically. I don't play too many games so those are the two I noticed, but has anyone else had this problem?
If so, any ideas on a fix?
Cheers

Yep, I can confirm that I am also having the Fruit Ninja THD stuttering problem.
Ironically, BackBreaker THD and Samurai II Vengeance (both of which have much better 3D graphics) don't stutter at all.
Funniest thing! - Fruit Ninja non-Tegra version stutters as well!!!
Fruit Ninja devs probably didn't test the game on 2.3.4 and there's some kind of incompatibility issue.
Btw. Did you try the CM7 beta yet? Could you test if it stutters there too?
I'm currently on the beta and it is still stuttering, cheers

Months later, the problem is there.
Honestly, the only game that really noticeably stutters for me is Fruit Ninja... And i play many many games with good graphics (Samurai Venegance II, Backbreaker, etc).
Both THD and non-thd versions of Fruit Ninja stutter on Gingerbread, Froyo works fine.
My guess is that either Motorola's 2.3.4 is poorly coded or Fruit Ninja is poorly coded.
try dead space xD
Jusz tries both versions and they ran pretty smooth...

Has Anyone got TegraZone games to play on ANY ROM for the G tablet?
I'm running Fruit Ninja THD, Samurai 2: Vengence, and Dungeon Defenders: First Wave all on my gTab which is running VEGAn 5.1.1 without any hacks or mods beyond the rom itself.
They all run fine here..running Calkulin rom....no tweeks/hacks needed.
Good to know. Thanks much guys.
I wonder if any Ginger ROMs can run them. I would guess not without hardware acceleration though.

They all work fine on TNTLite 4.40. No hacks needed.
somebody help me, I can't download any games from tegra zone (not even free ones), it says "the requested item could not be found". I'm running vegan tab 5.1 beta. Is there any ways to fix it like we did with the android market

They run fine. Hardware acceleration only applies to videos. Not 3D rendering.

Got more to back up that "BS" opinion? Has anyone complained of poor play on CM7 or Vegan Ginger? The games play fine for me on CM7.0.3.
Are you having trouble getting them to show up in the Market? Because that's a different question.
@spammhead
For myself and a friend (3 tablets - one from Sears, one from electroniccrap.com, and one from Woot!) we found that in Hero of Sparta, Hawx, Quadrant tests, and a few other games - the ones mentioned stand out the most in my memory, would not display all textures is maps unless we were running a FroYo build with full acceleration. I think Sandstorm was another that had trouble.

Riptide GP and Bang Bang Racing THD both work perfectly for me on CM 7.0.3.

While I would have put it more diplomatically you are correct. While 3D games "work" on GB roms they do not have the same visual texture as when running on one of the popular FroYo roms. I have two gTabs one running VEGAn 5.1.1 and the other running CyanogenMod 7.0.3. They both have their uses.
I noticed no change in 3d textures on games like Dungeon Defenders and Samurai II when moving from 2.2 to 2.3 (CM7, nightly 85). The only issues were with the videos for Dungeon Defenders, but those are all resolved now. Riptide runs perfectly and looks just like it does in Youtube videos I've seen of it, so I'm not sure what you're talking about as far as different visual textures. I think the only hardware acceleration that's missing is in high def videos, but OC'd at 1.4, software does everything I can throw at it fine in Moboplayer.
EDIT: Added a screenshot from Riptide. Does it look different than it does on 2.2? Please post a screenshot from the same map (Twister) so I can compare.
EDIT again: Added more screenshots. Samurai II, Pinball HD, Dungeon Defenders. I want to note that in all these games, I was more interested in taking the screenshot than I was in playing. I don't suck *that* bad.
OK, so you may be missing some fine texturing, but gameplay is not affected enough to merit a warning against buying the game to play on Gingerbread.

If I'm missing texturing, I'm not seeing it. Otherwise, with the currently nightly of CM7, the video issues (like the opening video in Dungeon Defenders) that appear in Vegan Ginger aren't present, so yeah, I think it's fair to say that the "Ginger isn't good for games" factor is wrong.
The only thing that drives me nuts about CM7 right now is the boot times.
after having played many tegra games on froyo and gbread, I have never noticed texture differences or anything else. the latest libraries in cm7 and aosp work wonderfully for everything I have tried.
Tegra Zone loaded and Dungeon Defender works on (gasp) stock 3588.
Hi to all. Guys, what about tegra games on Honeycomb? On my G Tablet with [ROM][BL1.1] GtabComb alpha1.6 for Bootloader 1.1 Gtablet these games didnt work. When I tried install any tergra games I get error.
Any ideas?
P.S. Sorry for my English, I am from Russia.
Hey guys
Do any of you experience lag/sluggish performance in games ? I recently got my Titan and I only had a chance to try angry birds and it wasn't at all smooth.
I disabled the SRS sound but it didn't help.
Any ideas ?
EDIT: Well,it's not laggy TBH,but not as smooth as my previous iPhone 4 which I think is because of the GPU.
I know the iPhone 4's GPU is stronger but shouldn't games like Angry birds run maybe a little more smoothly ?
Try closin some apps or redownloading the apl

I closed all apps and tested but it didn't change anything.
Will re-download it but I don't think that's going to make any changes either.
I just downloaded the game and played for about 10 min and it ran smooth here. I also tried hydro thunder which seems like a more gpu intensive game and no probs. can u download hydro thunder and see if you notice any problems?
Will do.
However, I tested NFS and it ran butter smooth.
Ok,tested Hydro and it worked perfectly.The graphics were just amazing !
Currently,Angry birds and Fruit ninja aren't that smooth,they aren't lagy but I tested Angry birds on a symbian device(Nokia C7) and it worked flawlessly.
And I remember that when I first played angry birds/fruit ninja on the iPad,they both performed pretty much like Titan(not so smooth) but after updates,they both worked great.
So I guess,it's software issue,thoughts ?
Ok so tried doodle jump too and it ran great. Maybe a tad slower than the iOS version but it was barely notable.
Did you try disabling the sound enhancer "fix"?

Aren't we just talking about the 30fps cap? I think that's all it is. They need to re-release at 60fps, though I don't know if first-gen devices can handle that though it's just a side scroller, not a big deal. And I'm sure 2nd gen devices can.
Maybe but how come iPad has the same issue at first ? Did it have 30 fps cap and then when they updated the game,they removed it ?
I've played Fruit Ninja THD, Modern Combat 3 and Grand Theft Auto 3 but the framerate is really poor. Id say itsmonly running at 15-20 FPS. Why is this? I love games and this tablet but if this is the case then I'll be quite disappointed.
(Rooted and Running the Galaxy Task ROM, btw)
same here! The framerate is very poor when playing gta 3
I haven't experienced any problems yet, played GTAIII & Fruit Ninja THD (and many more), perfectly smooth... You could try to reflash your rom, or maybe overclock..
ps running Galaxy Task 10

Other games seem perfectly fine actually, just the heavy games seem to have trouble running. It's a shame, I was looking forward to playing GTA3 with my PS3 controller at at least 25 FPS but oh well
Perhaps background processes push CPU usage over the edge for you. I don't have GTA 3 but fruit ninja is flawless on my tab.
reflash...should help. i'm on stock and both games work at maybe 40-50 FPS? anyway its really smooth. (i'm on stock btw)

Reflashed, fruit Ninja is fine now but GTA 3... Still pretty laggy, especially if rain falls. I already removes the audio folder so it runs flawlessly with no audio and while its not raining, but still I damn well miss audio. If I knew how to modify the gta3.set I'd just disable rain, lights, shadows, draw distance, etc... I'm more concerned with performance that graphics.
hey guys..
Well i was wondering how is the 3d performance of games on your devices?
I am quite unsatisfied with the performance of S2..mainly in 3d gaming..
Though most of the games run flawlessly.. but the open world games lag quite a lot on s2..
I have seen considerable fps drops at few places in open world 3d games like :
1. Gangstar rio city
2. The dark knight rises
3. amazing spiderman
4. gta3
5 backstab etc..
So i would just like to know that the others are facing this problem too? or is it my phone only? or could be my rom/kernel combination reducing my 3d performance?
Currently i am on neatrom lite with siyah 3.2
Again i want to mention that the games usually work good with proper fps..but at many places like when lots of builidings and stuff are there...there is quite a big fps drop while rotating camera or moving ..
Please guys do mention about your 3d performances..i am quite FRUSTRATED AND ANNOYED at my phone's behaviour..such a hyped phone and not givin satisfactory performance..
thanks
The games in your list i tried is gangstar rio and gta 3. In gta3 it doesn't lag at all while in gangstar rio, it lags alot because as someone posted (forgot where it was) the game was not optimized for our device. Bdw, running stock XWLPO with siyah 3.5.2.

well i am a bit bothered..even in case of mutant roadkill..the starting scene (where the car jumps out ) is also slightly slow..
Plus the open world games like dark knight, spiderman etc lag a lot.. :|
Anyone have any suggestions for games that take full advantage of the Tegra 2 chip and the hardware?
I noticed Real Racing 2 doesn't show up in the market, are there any really good high res games, 1st person shooters, racing, dungeons or other cool games?
Not really Tegra 2 specific but drag racing is really good
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
The Blood and Glory games are pretty good, as is GTA III. Too bad GTA's controls are so awful.
You likely know about all of these already, but heres my list:
(All of the Madfinger games)
Samurai II THD - hack & slash
Shadowgun - scifi FPS
Dead Trigger - zombie FPS
(All of the Vector Unit games)
Riptide GP - racing
Shine Runner - smuggling/racing/smashing through things
Beach Buggy Blitz - timer based racing
(Various)
Mini Motor racing
Turbofly 3d - wipeout style racing
(Fun 2d physics-based games)
iStunt 2
Ski Safari
All of these run perfectly on the Atrix 4G. Another awesome game is Modern Combat 3 from gameloft: great controls, impressive graphics, and a good soundtrack - but it lags a little sometimes. Not unbearable though. All the other gameloft games completely suck on the atrix, sooo laggy!
I like Shadowgun, and the Modern Combat series.
Chess.com
Max Payne
The various console emulators (NESoid, SNESoid, N64oid, etc.)
Thanks for all your help

Agree. I like most of the gameloft first person shooters, such as the modern combat series and NOVA3, also the gangstar series, in particular gangstar rio which was the first game that I was really addicted to since GTA san andreas. Max payne is really nice too.
I had no game so far that was not playable on my Atrix, occasional stutter may occur, but nothing disturbing...
there is an alternative appstore named NVIDIA TegraZone which you can download it on Play Store, it contains a lot of Tegra compatible games.
Another good one, kind of addictive is Temple Run. No lags and lots of fun.

Dude, Real Racing works fine on Atrix, try with market enabler or.....
a very cool game is Rayman Jungle Run, very fluent, awesome graphics.
Also you have The Bard's Tale (action rpg), NBA Jam (sports), Dungeon Defenders (tower defense), Legendary Heroes (dota-like game)

You are right, they aren't unplayable - but the op was just asking for games which take full advantage of the tegra hardware - definitely no gameloft games fall into that category. They are fun though, have you tried asphalt 7? The gameplay and graphics are awesome, but that one lags on basically every non-mali400 device... even the nexus 7
+1 for Rayman Jungle Run - awesome game!
