gameloft games dont work on g2x?

All the gameloft games ive tried to run other than the preloaded nova demo close after the intro movie. Is the g2x not yet supported?
It seems to be hit or miss. The ones I've tried and can confirm working are Assassins Creed, Lets Golf 1, Dungeon Hunter 1, and Gangstar 2 (although runs very choppy)
Nova demo,assassins creed, and asphalt 6 from gameloft work for me
I also have the Avatar game, and it runs fine
I figured out y my games weren't working. The .apk's were for my mytouch 4g and the g2x needs its' own versions of the games optimized for tegra 2.
Kinda dumb imo because that means I have to repurchase the games, which I will not be doing because of gamelofts horrible methods of distributing there products

Currently there are Adreno, PowerVR, Tegra 2 (GeForce ULV) and MALI 400. You need Tegra 2 version to run on G2X.
Here is link for G2X Tegra 2 games.

A lot of the games are not compatible with Gingerbread also... Dungeon hunter 2, nova 2, S.O.... for a few anyway
I'm just glad that starfront collision work perfectly.

nova is a bloatware, so of course gameloft is supported.
I wouldnt really call it that.Bloatware is typically factory installed apps that no one wants because there is something more popular and better. Like Navi turn. Nova is a game

i have the same setup as u man and i can tell - not a single one of the gameloft games have worked thus far! - they either freeze up right after the gameloft logo or crash after the cinematic it closes - additionally, it keeps asking me to download the data when i've already downloaded it over and over.. this is the third time im downloading the data for assassin's and it keeps asking
but end all - none are working

Hell Lag on shadowgun

I faced immense lag while playing shadowgun specially when fight against bosses.
Does anyone also notice this.
I have shadowgun V 1.0.4
I am on kpq, doomlord kernel v3 with fuss ram script.
I have searched alot and found that this game don't want much cpu, gpu power but more ram instead.
I have tried restart my phone many times, release ram before start of game and also install normal ram tweak file. But result are same. HELL LAG.
IF YOU ALSO HAVING THIS ISSUE THAT MEANS OUR GPU IS NOT CAPABLE TO HANDLE GAMES LIKE THIS.
Yes I have tried playing this game on my htc desire Hd where it run smoothly as butter and I also reached to level 4.

Your issue related to code optimization not hardware power.
On my tegra 2 game flow like water with extra graphic mod. Till now none of the game lag for the a sec whether it's 9mm or asphalt or gta3. But with lag play I somehow reached to finall boss battles when I had sgsl.

Games Discussion Thread

I was about to create this thread at general discussion but i guess it belongs here, we can share recommendations of games and talk about performance on our devices.
Just downloaded the new ZENONIA 4https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gamevil.zenonia4.global
Love the series and 4 is the first episode with HD graphics, which woud be awesome if it didn't ran so sluggish on x10 i'm on vmcms 2.3.4 rom, anyone on different roms had a better experience?
I'll leave a recommendation, Dungeon Raid https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fireflame.dungeonraid it's an addictive "trace puzzle" (don't know how to describe it) with a fantasy rpg theme, match three or more icons of the same type trying to draw the longest line, the mechanic is used to attack monsters or defend, collect gold, potions, very easy to get into but deep. This is an excellent time killer and a great value if you enjoy this type of games.
Need for speed shift and reckless racing work very well
Xperia x10(Feralabs Rom) After trying all roms it was my Fav.
Now on the RAZR.

My experience is that zenonia 4 runs sluggish on any rom that uses a modified stock kernel. I've only had smooth experience on a rom using the cm7 fxp kernel. FXP 10* or miui dark edition based off cm7 are basically the only two running it smoothly

EA NFS Hot Pursuit and EA Real Racing 2 running perfectly. The most awesome graphics to embrace a smartphone game. Ever.
Others: Modern Combat 2, Splinter Cell, WC Cricket Fever
MIUI 2.2.3 overclocked to 1152 MHZ.
I'm playing Asplhat 5 and Rainbow Six right now.
Rom : Oodie's MIUI prime x
Asphalt runs fine however Rainbow six lags a lot how do I improve it's performance? If you're gonna ask me to overclock then please tell me how do it because I don't know how to.

edit: nevermind I figured how to and it doesn't help.
Does Shadowgun runs well? it seems to be the most graphically intense android game.

the best looking 3d game i've seen running on x10 was Dead Space.

Thanks for the info, it's been a long time since i've tested fxp cm7 but i may give it another try.
try thgo v14.0 it is best gaming rom
what you got at the Play Store (i'll never get used to this name) sale this week?
i've gone crazy, purchased Cut The Rope, Shadowgun, Quell Reflect, They Need to be Fed, World of Goo and Osmos HD there are more games and apps available for very cheap prices, don't know for how long.
Osmos - you are an amoeba-like blob that moves by ejecting it's mass and must consume other blobs that are smaller than you, as you eat you grow bigger and can assimilate bigger ones, unless they assimilate you first. The challenge is controlling your movement in a way that you don't waste your mass and there are a series of tasks you must complete. A creative and clever game with very nice presentation, it runs fine on x10 with occasional stutters but no bigger issues.
Cut the Rope - this one doesn't require much introduction, it was a huge smash on iOS and it's quite sucessful on android as well. several puzzles in which you must cut ropes in order to feed a small lizard with candy, cute and with great physic effects, adicting and well worth the cheap price.
They Need to be Fed - looks like feeding is a recurring theme with those indie games, this one is a simple yet cool 2D puzzle platformer, traverse a series of obstacles involving gravity and collect diamonds to feed a creature in the end, one of those masochistic games in which you die tons of times until you master the levels but it's nice and addicting if you're into meat boy or similar.
Quell reflect - a good surprise, it's a puzzle game where ou must guide a drop of water through a series of obstacles, flicking your finger starts the motion which can't be stopped, sounds tense but it's a relaxing game with a nice presentation. Oh, no feeding here.
World of Goo - a pretty popular game widely available on PC and Wii, gameplay fits very well with touch screens and performs fine on x10, you must guide a bunch of black blobs of goo through the scenery by creating structures, you touch a goo and swipe it to the position and connect them. the physics can be a bit unforgiving but the game is very well done.
Shadowgun I have not tested yet because it downloads a lot of stuff and I couldn't finish yet.
help me
how an i install nfs shift and hot pursuit on ma xperia x10 rooted running on 2.3.3
I guess shadowgun is too much for our old X10, it only shows the opening sequence but when it starts loading the first level the phone reboots.
will keep it for when i purchase a new phone.

Did you try with ChainFire?
tell me more
edit: i've installed chainfire 3d, downloaded drivers, but no luck. I guess the game will only run on CM7 or MIUI.
How make that Real Racing 2 running perfectly?

Runs perfectly on Cobrato MIUI. I just reboot the phone before playing - it frees up all the RAM and kills unnecessary background tasks, and RR2 is buttery smooth.
I've been using feravolt's V12 Enhanced Edition and of all the stock roms I've tryed it's the best for games performace, there's an optional boost gpu script but even without using it there's a noticeable improvement. However, playing games will eat your battery even faster than normal.
Kairosoft's new game Dungeon Village has a lite version, it's a cool and addictive sim game as usual, but it's kind of a casual ripoff of another game called Majesty (available for both PC and Android), where you manage a fantasy town that must attract adventurers to it. Majesty can get brutal in the later levels, I have no idea how Dungeon Village will evolve but it looks much more simple.
And of course, Angry Birds Space was unleashed upon us.

These types of threads are not allowed!! It's stated clearly as a sticky post! Try pure cm7, gingersnap which is full of tweaks,perfect peso or something I don't remember the name. In future don't create use less threads.

Pure CM7 in my opinion is the best ROM for any sort of performance. Running CM7 stable at 729MHz or 748MHz will allow you to play most non-demanding games. Most new 3D games however won't work that well. I use CM10 on a regular basis and it does play games like original Angry Birds, Cut The Rope, Ice Cream Jump, etc. with playable framerates with only occasional drops but these don't impact gameplay to me. However games like Angry Birds Space, Temple Run 1 and Need For Speed Shift won't work on CM10 but will on CM7. Again these games even on CM7 overclocked do get framedrops because the hardware on the O1 just wasn't designed for intense 3D gaming. It was barely designed to be capable of playing back 480p video. In the end though pure CM7 does do a very good job and I highly recommend it.

[Q] Help me improve my gaming performance

I have an HTC Desire C which I know is a low-end phone (please google the speccs) but mine can't play even basic games like Subway Surfers, Jetpack Joyride, Bad Piggies and Zenonia 5 without it lagging horribly. However I have been able to play Angry Birds, Clash of Clans, Clumsy Bird and Hill Climb Racing without any lag. I can also play games on that My Boy! GBA emulator very smoothly 95% of the time (but it does lag for short bursts of time). I have not rooted my phone, Android version is 4.0.3, am using Nova Launcher and run all games in Boost Mode (Clean Master). Have plenty of free space on my 8GB SD card. Can anything be done? If not, can you recommend some good games that will not lag on my phone?

First of all, this is kind of in the wrong part of the forums, you'd be better of in the general Q&A section.
Secondly, the phone isn't really great, at all. It's a single core which runs at 600mhz, not that great, at all. You won't be playing a whole lot more than what you are able now.
You could always root your phone and overclock it a bit, but then it gets a lot hotter.
Conclusion: If you want to play games, buy a different phone.
