trying to load shadowgun with chainfire it runs till i load a new game then force closes if anyone has gotten it to run please tell me what settings you used thank you
Check reduce texture quality, reduce texture size, disable mapbuffer emu, and use the nvidia plugin. Mine works great
Same Here. All you really should ha e to do is reduce texture size.
there is a cracked no tegra version of shadowgun out there . some evo 3d users confirmed working on their devices without any problem and no chainfire needed.i dont know if that will work for you. As you have purchased the game you should try cracked version too.....i dont use cracked one untill my purchased one dont work and i havent purchased shadow gun as its a tegra gameand i m not rooted to download it.
Same as felacio all i had to do was reduce texture size not quality and also use the nvidia plugin and it runs great. For some reason when I reduced quality I would get a FC every now and then so I would try both and see what works for you.
One thing that worries me is how freaking hot my phone gets playing it. Even when not overclocked. Very hot. 60c+ area..
texture size worked thanks for your input

Mine actually works great with NO other settings changed other than the NVIDIA plugin..
I think the infected-anthrax rc2 kernel has something to do with it. Performance is amazing and so are the graphics!
i wouldnt even try it anymore non tegra version comes out this week so...yeah lolz
Hello All,
I was wondering how to improve the performance on games such as mc3, horn, and other high graphic games? I heard from someone that ics roms run games faster than gb , and that you also should overclock your device using an app called tegrak overclock. So my question is this: how well does our player run games, and if so how to make the games run smoother or better. Thanks!:laugh:

(This thread should have been posted under Questions, just so you know.)
The Player 4 and 5 both use an SGX540 running at 200MHz. I have both NOVA 3 and MC3 on my Player, and it seems to me that Gameloft has definitely not optimized their Android games as well as they could (example: the 4th generation iPod Touch has a weaker SGX530 GPU and less RAM, yet MC3 runs better).
That said, I have seen people overclock the SGX540 in our Exynos 3110 to anywhere from 210-250MHz. If someone can implement this to a Player kernel, we should be able to do the same, and probably reduce some lag.
As far as Android version- from what I understand (and this may not be correct), 4.0 uses more RAM, so some games might work better on 2.3. I have also seen many reports that Gameloft's games do not work well on 4.0 (more lag and/or crashing), but they may have been updated to fix these issues.
I'm running Android 4.0. I've got an overclock to 1.2GHz. I have set the maximum number of background tasks to only allow 2. This has pretty much completely fixed any lag i've had whatsoever. Even on 2.3! I have MC3 and Nova 3 and they both run fine with the odd jitter every 10 mins but you can expect that with any device. I also bought Gangster Rio but I haven't tried that on Remics UX yet. It ran terrible last time Si used it on ICS Crumble but I didn't have the Background process limit set then so i'll get it and i'll see how it gose. But if you've got ICS Seriously, you will be amazed at what difference it makes. I just hope Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour will run as smoothly!

I highly doubt it will run at all, unless Gameloft has a version with highly toned-down graphics. NOVA 3 with all effects and graphic elements set to high is nearly unplayable (though it looks incredible), and we know MC4 is more graphically advanced than N3. Even if these Players had a better GPU, though, RAM would still be an issue, and Gameloft might even skip on a PowerVR-optimized MC4 anyways.
I am making custom kernel atm, show me an example of overclocked gpu that we have. Afaik the were tryind to do so with i9000 without success

If you look around, you'll see that just about anyone with a Tegra 3 device and a Gameloft game has the same problem. Either the Tegra 3 has a weak GPU, Gameloft fails at optimizing their games, or both.
If you set the graphics of NOVA 3 on the Player to the same level as on the N7, the game becomes unplayable, even though it has to push a much lower resolution. Tying that back in on-topic, as MC4 has more advanced graphics than NOVA 3, it is probably not going to work with the Players.

A one day job? One day to re-do / re-render ALL the textures and models ? Also some games DO have options , like Max Payne.

I can run Nova with no lag. The thing that was causing the problem I think was the RAM until o set it to 2 background tasks. And also SWAP file support could be another thing to work on to gives more than a 1GB or RAM.

Its not one day..its one HOUR job..the game has allready options because every game engine has video option..but with a gamelooft you have to extract option file from ogg file then change on off what you thing ..save and then recreate ogg file again..And only game that gice options is rock star ..they are only developers with brains in android world for now..and off course there is no need to recreate textures..its one command in opengl.

I can run it with no lag, too. NOVA 3 for our Players has all the graphical effects disabled, but when they are turned on, the lag is unbearable, which is what I was talking about (I'll make a video showing this). Tying that back in, since MC4 has these graphical effects by default plus a new graphics engine, either the game will not work at all (read: to laggy to play), or Gameloft will greatly downscale the graphics for us (unlikely).

Install Chainfire3d from the Market. Open it, install the driver, reboot, and it should be good to go.
However, a few warnings. Campaign will not work, at all. The only way for the game to load and be somewhat playable is to do a local WiFi multiplayer match with just yourself. I also recommend letting it sit for a minute or so after the map (pick a relatively small one) has loaded.
So no campaign? Oh well I'm completely stuck on a mission anyway ha ha.

First, sorry if it is there, i'm on tapatalk so i can't check
So, i'm getting the Evo 3D this month (97%) and since I'm heavy gamer, i want to know if it can decently run newest games (MC4 etc.). I know that 1 GB RAM and Adreno 220 is not bad, but i still want to know. I want to stay at stock ROM for a while. And isn't the 16:9 screen bad? Are those games compatible with it? Thanks for any answer .

It does run Modern Combat 4 (got it free with my Moga and it played fine)
other games like Sonic 1 run great too. So does NFS Most Wanted if you can get it downloaded (it's listed as not compatible now)
a very little number of game run in 3D mode!
all the rest is standard 2D
Yeah it runs every game just fine except vice city. The game crashes when you enter a vehicle.
Other than that everything is good at defaults. But you don't get all the new games at high graphics like in galaxy s2/s3/iPhone5/iPad 4....In MC4 the havok is not enabled for evo 3d.No ragdoll animations, the gun doesn't shine and so many effects disabled. Same with asphalt 7, real racing 3 and most wanted. No motion blur and no water effects on road. Gangstar vegas has visual quality option in settings but it does not allow anything higher than medium graphics. There is no big game from EA and gameloft (from mid 2012 and onwards) that runs on high settings on evo 3d.

imho the evo 3d doesn't keep up like it needs to... when it comes to gaming... however it does play most games.. chances are on a stock rom you are going to notice a lot more lag than if yo were to root it and get your flash on and get a kernal to optomize those processors correctly....
Hi. I am going to get a new phone, I am coming off of a Motorola Photon Q. I'm looking for a new phone and I don't really know which ones to get, I have a couple of them at the bottom. I am a moderate user. I text mildly, watch some youtube videos, etc. But I do like playing high-end games. My old Photon Q has an adreno 225, and it strains on playing MC4, around 13 FPS give or take.
The keyboard also just doesn't do much anymore and with 4 GB or storage, I can get one high-end game. -.-. I am considering these phones:
Htc One X+ - Because of good Tegra 3 clocked at 1700 and 64 GB space
Htc Droid DNA - Because of very good screen, but GPU might not be good enough for high end games? (Modern Combat, Asphalt, etc.)
Nexus 4 - Because cheap xD, GPU won't have as much strain on the lower resolution.
LG-G2 - 2300??? S800???? ADRENO330??? OF COURSE!
I haven't researched that many phones. (Only about 15 in-depth) so what is your opinion on these 4 phones? Any suggestions otherwise?
My budget is really around ~400 so the LG-G2 is like a dream haha...
Well thanks in advance!
The Adreno 320 in our DNA is MORE than enough for gaming. It is one of the fastest and most capable on the market. I play MC4, ASPHALT 7, SHADOWGUN: Deadzone etc with zero lag at all. In my oppinion, the DNA is supperior and the screen doesn't slow it down at all. This cpu and Gpu BLOW AWAY tegra 3.

I have noticed a bit of stuttering in many games that isn't related to framerate. I've also noticed this on my buddy's GS4, so it may be a common experience. However, I got a chance to play around with the new nexus 7 and games seem to run smoothly (no hitching or juddering unrelated to framerate), similarly to my iPad, so this may be unavoidable on most hardware not google sanctioned (though the nexus 4 apparently has throttling issues, so who knows).
I'm convinced that most android graphics drivers suck. Hitching in games like angry birds is a bit on the sad side.
Well, the new Nexus 7 has the S4 processsor I believe but regardless, the only time I notice any stuttering is in some 2-D games and I belive that's because games not being optimized for the 1080p display. 3D games I play run flawlessly and are smooth as silk. Lol. But I do notice some stuttering in some games similar to 8 Ball Pool and Jet Pack game (or whatever it's called) I do hardcore Modern Combat 4 multiplayer gaming and it's never stuttered once on me.

Well I'm on Ecliptic Sense 5. Dead Trigger and NBA 2K13 run VERY smoothly. And 2k13 is probably one of the most proccessor and graphicaly intensive games on the Play Store. I wouldn't recommend a CM ROM for gaming, because of the lower GPU clock speed. You could also look into the HTC One or the Butterfly S if you haven't already.

I'm back on Stock Sense 4+ with Blackout-V5.9 kernel and stock levels and gaming is ultra smooth. This truly is a gaming phone for me. I play Asphalt 7 and compare it to my wife's iPhone 5 and the framerate is 100% the same and the graphics are actually slightly better on my DNA. That's saying a lot because the iPhone 5 GPU is a BEAST!! But once they released optimized games for our Adreno 320 GPU then it will hands down, be the best. Modern Combat 5 and Asphalt 8 and Dead Trigger 2 is going to he AMAZING on here!!! I can't wait!
On an unrelated note, my Dead Trigger name is Deadlytrigger24 and my Modern Combat 4 tag is my facebook James Anderson. Lol

So I purchased a new nexus 7 yesterday and experience absolutely none of the non-fps related stuttering that my DNA runs into, even through they're running very similar hardware. It looks like the DNA and even the new S600 phones iare definitely crippled by some kind of software or driver inefficiencies.
Okay, so plague inc was running... Now that I'm on 4.3 it keeps crashing when the world map comes up.

I know that my friend has the stock DNA and was having some lag issues with a game called Dragonvale. Nothing major but after too much stuff got on the screen it would stutter just a bit. He moved to the NOS M7 3.0.1 (JB 4.2.2) ROM and his performance went way up and has absolutely no issues. Not sure if this is related to the phone having no bloatware, or if the ROM actually has some performance improvements.
I wud suggest the htc one x for u bcoz my friend owns it and ive used it to play high end games which run veryy smoothly

So guys, I traded down for the S3 and games seem to be more optimized for it. Games def run smoother on my S3 and I find it strange because the S3 has an Adreno 225 and the DNA is the Adreno 320...:/ but I'm glad I switched, 4.1.2 on the S3 is smooth as butter with no hiccups at all.

I suppose I'd like to pose a question to developers:
In addition to the DNA, the HTC One and GS4 I've found to run most games, most noticeably in 2D scrolling games, with a sort of hiccup roughly every hundred frames. I'm not sure whether to classify it as a dropped frame, hitch, or microstutter, but it seems to ave very little bearing on the framerate the game is running at, of course more noticeable at games that run at a higher framerate. After purchasing a new nexus 7 with very similar hardware, I found that this 'hitching' was mysteriously absent in all games I had observed it to occur using the other devices. My best case example would probably be the game dead space; on the DNA and the One, I noticed severe hitching/hiccups at almost regular intervals with an otherwise excellent framerate. Coming from the world of PC gaming, the first thing that pops into my head is a driver issue as most games exhibit this behavior. I should note that I've observed this same behavior in AOSP and CM ROMS (4.1-4.3) using the DNA. I suppose my question is: why does this occur and is there a possible fix?
Hey guys, just wondering if any of you have tried running PPSSPP on your z2 yet and if you were having any problems.
I can't seem to get Tekken 6 running at a playable speed (it runs at an average of 65% speed ingame). I can get it to sort of run fine when I turn on 7-8 frameskip, but then of course the framerate suffers to compensate...
I've tried many settings and have made sure that power saving features are deactivated... Could this be z2 specific or am I just missing something (I'm really hoping it's the latter)?
Cheers
P.S. (P?) Fwiw, I can get 3D Android games running fine (e.g. Spiderman 2, Prince of Persia Snf)

Ppsspp isn't that optimised yet... You're mistaking emulation with native Android code when talking about running the Android games.
Basically, ppsspp is taking psp game data and translating it to Android code to make it run... Every single bit of data.
This requires huuuuge cpu usage and is the reason it's so slow.
Tl : dr: no... It isn't yet possible to run most psp games at full speed, especially not extensive 3d ones like tekken.

Thanks for the reply. I totally understand emulators will never be 100% compatible and perfect, even on high end computers just as lossy compression will never be a prefect representation of the original product.
But after some internetting, I found that PPSSPP seems to be able to run at least Tekken 6 at what seems to be close enough to original speed on most mid-high range phones. Examples:
Tkn6 on SGS3: http://youtu.be/t4lw0OexO3Y
Crisis Core FF7 on latest HTC M8 (which has pretty much the same processor as the z2): http://youtu.be/8mH1Z2cebpY
And many more videos of phones running Tkn6 just fine: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=y...Z04H4BQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=348&bih=409&dpr=3
TL;DR: PPSSPP seems to run Tekken 6 and graphically similar games fine on most phones, even those with inferior as well as similar specs to ze Z2, yet I can't seem to replicate anything close to the same speed let alone the same. :/
I bet there's just a setting that I stupidly forgot to change somewhere... Might try downloading Crisis Core and see how that goes.
EDIT: Hmm actually it seems Crisis Core runs fine. Guess it still could be the new CPU/GPU.

Hi, I'm a PPSSPP developer and I'd just like to say that Tekken 6 is one of the hardest PSP games to emulate along with God of War.
You definitely need to have the latest version of PPSSPP from the download page, ppsspp.org/download and not just the one on Play Store. You also need to make sure you have the settings that this person was using in his video. Turn on all those speed hacks and make sure you're not turning on extra graphical effects.
Many of those settings aren't enabled by default like using multi-threading, disabling fog,.. They make a huge difference.
Then it will run at full speed.
Tekken 5 runs much faster by the way. You will be able to run it full speed without any speed hacks and will even be able to run it in Full HD with large textures.
Hi, none of the multiple combination of settings helps me to run this game, Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix on Xperia Z2 ppsspp gold 1.0.1
What should I do?
