Hi guys, I have been lurking around here quite a bit trying to soak up as much of the incredible knowledge you guys have as possible. I can't ask this in the development section yet because I have not made enough posts so I appologize ahead of time if this is in the wrong place, please redirect me if so. After upgrading my Xoom 4g from Honeycomb to the latest ICS build from Team EOS (awesome by the way), I have discovered that none of my games produced by Gameloft will pass the license check. They were all purchased through the Android Market legally. I went through all the correct steps during the ROM Flash of clearing my cache, factory reset,and I even went as far as to reformat everything. Gameloft Tech Support has been unresponsive thus far so I turn to the pro's of XDA. Can anyone point me down the correct path? Thank you in advance!!!
the same thing happened when we updated from android 3.1 to 3.2 every game loft game fc ...so I have to wait for an update from game loft (via email) and a month later they came out with the fix. I hope its not that problem again and its just something bad in the rooms build. Cause all games are not working. What I see things...its something with the apps that need to run 3d .
Asphalt 6 HD and Modern Combat 3 are both failing at the license check.
Use RazorBlade's updated build (1/8)
Everything works. Even Gameloft Games.

Just thought I'd drop a line and warn everyone. I've been anxiously awaiting "History: Great Battles" for Tegra devices. Well sure enough it came out last night and to my dismay does not work on the G tablet (vegan ginger). Looks like the resolution or something is off - the menus work, but any movies/gameplay do not. The worst part is, the online download took 15 minutes which negated my "grace period" for return on the Android Market. I've written a letter to their dev team, but have not heard anything back.

Could be just the last of video acceleration on giner rom's. I'm running the same rom on my tablet and watching anything on the zone doesn't work. It had worked fine when I was running a froyo rom, which supports acceleration.
I did read on the Vegan website, that he is working on video acceleration for his rom. Just might have to be patient or change rom's for now.

That would make sense if it was just the "video" aspect that was messing up, but does that apply to the actual game play? Samurai works just fine - as does everything else I try...
Why not try a froyo rom and see or wait for hardware acceleration to be fixed

I'm flashing a froyo rom right now actually - its just a shame as I will sorely miss the Vegan Tab rom. Seems crappy to have to downgrade just to play a game
Well - it was the vegan ginger edition Back to Vegan 5.1.1 for me.

So the game works well on vegan 5.1.1? How is it? Im thinking of getting it
Glad you have the game running, enjoy, hopefully soon down the road will get the acceleration. The Vegan gingerbread is a great rom.
Dang. I just flashed back to Vegan 5 for this game but it's not showing up in the market! I did the market fix a few times too. Hmm... Any ideas?
EDIT
got the download link to show up after doing the market fix about 8 times.
Not fail for me. Running Vegan5.1.1 and it is running great.
Runs like crap for me. Menus are okay....game play is bad...forever to load....not all graphics are there...unplayable. calkulin w persboot oc.

Has anyone gotten this to run? It loads for me...gets past the first menu into the tutorial mission. Begins to load (graphics appear) and then crashes the tablet. Not an auspicious beginning. Considering this is specifically designed for Tegra 2 chips. I'm running vegan 5.11 by the by......

Actually, after trying out the new vegan tab ginger for a number of days, I'm glad to be back on froyo now. My experience with that is comparable to when I was on vista for a number of days before "downgrading" back to xp. Sure, it's "the new and flashy" thing, but I like stability more than "the new and flashy" thing.
Thought I'd update the thread - I flashed back to Froyo (Vegan 5.1.1) and was very excited to see the game start running. I jump into some of the missions and before I can move any troops, the game crashes and forces a total system reboot.
Looks like I'm going back to Vegan Ginger and waiting for acceleration. Wish I could get a refund.

That's good news. I haven't actually tried playing it after installing so I don't know if I'll run into any of the issues others are having. I'll test it tomorrow and add my findings to this thread too.
Tried it on TNT Lite and the graphics are scrabled bit as to make it unplayable. sound was ok..

Same here. Doesn't work on Vegan Ginger. Refund period passed before it was done downloading. Kinda pissed.
I had the same issue with vegan 5.1 then I flashed the brilliant colors rom and it works great now. No freezing or crashing on any tetra apps
Got a reply from their customer service:
"Hi Brad,
I'm sorry you are having issues with the game! Please keep in mind that Great Battles Medieval is recommended only on Tegra 2 devices with valid Android Market storefronts, such as:
- Honeycomb enabled tablets
- Motorola Atrix
- LG Optimus G2X
Your device is either not Tegra 2 or does not come with a valid Android Market storefront. To order the game you must have modified your software to enable the Android Market storefront or bypass the restrictions. Some people have been able to get the game to run on your device and you are welcome to try but we don’t have any information on what might help as it is related to the specific software installed on your machine and are unable to support it.
If you would prefer to cancel your order please let us know your order details.
Thank you!
Slitherine Support"
Looks like I'll be filing for that return.
"- Honeycomb enabled tablets
- Motorola Atrix
- LG Optimus G2X"
So what devices are they hoping to run this on? The Xoom, Acer, and Asus.. boy are they missing out on a huge portion of the market.
Yeah, tried to run it on Vegan 5.1.1 with pershoot's kernel. No dice. Menus are fine. But as soon as I clicked the tutorial option, the following screen ran sluggishly and then froze, then black screen, then crash.
Someone said Brilliant Colors rom ran it well? I'm currently loving my set up, how does BC compare to Vegan?
my 3d games i purchased say this content may not support your os version at the moment.please wait for clarification from the mods
seems to be just lg smart world market and offline game and files on sd card working
have you rooted, installed any custom roms, or done the market hack or anything???
Most likely reason, GB should be backwards compatible with froyo and so forth, last time I looked.
I've not had any compatability issues with my apps etc, including LG World.
lets golf and asphalt need redownloading from gameloft. Possibly others do too :-(

I've managed to re-download Let's Golf.
Asphalt is giving an error and one of my purchases, Spider Man, is saying that the app in not original so it doesn't even open.
I hope they will fix it soon.
Haven't tried all the 3D app though.
unlucky for you guys everything is working 100 percent lol...
Bizarre... all my games work and no need to re-download.
i will try to restart the phone and see it's going to fix it.
Earlier this year i read on a forum that someone who updated there Samsung Galaxy S to Gingerbread also had the problem of Gameloft games not working after upgrading to Gingerbread so this might actually be a problem with Gameloft and games that were originally downloaded on Froyo.
All,
Since upgrading to ICS on my transformer, i have found that some graphically developed games tend to crash in the exact same manner... during some high graphic scene like an explosion or a car crash, etc the frame freezes and becomes distorted, all the while the sound is still going. A few seconds later the game crashes and im back to the home screen.
So far i have seen this on:
ShadowGun (non tegra optimized version)
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
Frontline Commando (this one ive had before ICS for a while with no issue)
Has anyone seen anything like this? And more importantly does anyone know of a solution?

ICS is still under-developed ! I mean there are some minor bugs. NFS Hot Pursuit just froze a few mins ago for me !!!!! Used "force stop" and restart app......otherwise have to reboot. The devs are working on the latest update, and some ROMs are a little behind.
It's an annoyance, I know........but a minor one ??
Good luck !!
Yes, since going to ICS on my SGS2 Spiderman and a bunch of other Gameloft games have started crashing after a few minutes of running.
The audio is fine and and all in game videos also run without hitch, as soon as you start to play, blink its gone.
I have been in touch with Gameloft but as yet they are niether confirmning nor denying an issue with the games and ICS.
If anything of use comes from Gameloft I will update here.
Hope it can be sorted soon, my son is going mad with no Spiderman and Shrek Kart!
update
Just an an FYI, I have found that after a reboot the games run fine for a while. I have actually started purposely rebooting after running for over 18hrs straight. after that the weird stuff (app crashes, display glitches, etc) is an almost certainty.
Gameloft have admitted issues with certain games and ICS. They asked me to email them details of game versions and ICS Builds and what exactly happened to produce the crash etc. (the usual stuff)
Apparently they are working on updates....? Hmmm we'll see.
Either way a barrage of techies emailing them software specs and demanding updates can only help.
The address I used was [email protected]
It took them days to reply each time but they did respond!
I had this happening on EOS build 12 with gangstar:rio and order&chaos, especially order and chaos.
Was probably a bug in the kernel, as they work just fine on eos 19.
nasty: I hope you told them to add TF support for all the games working on A500/xoom !
Unfortunatly, this problem still persist. There's a bunch of games I can't play on my TF101, even with stock rom.
Here's a small list
Magicka
Ice Age Village
Auralux
Bards Tale
This are basically, games that use high end graphics.
Is there a chance that my gpu/cpu is broken?

Like a 0.1% chance. The kernel in the stock Asus ROMs suck. They have been problematic with memory management (including graphics memory, which is likely the problem here) since the first Asus ICS release. Flash a better kernel (guevor's in ICS or KAT in JB) and try again.

Make sure you have TWRP recovery installed first, CWM will give you a bootloop
Install GooManager here

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm trying it right now.
Try it and it's working great Finally tablet is behaving like it should!
I had seen a few threads saying it does not work, but then i saw a few others saying it works flawlessly. I just want to know if this will work or not?
Well either way i will find out tomorrow then when i get my TF in the mail.

Does it work now on your transformer? I've been trying to get it running for several hours now, still without success.
There is one version floating around the web that does indeed work.
Its very hard to find though, and No I wont tell you where, except 'google'
Mind you, it took me 2 weeks to find it. And it doesnt run perfect. The graphic glitches sometimes, and the overall framerate isnt quite as good as it could be.
I also had to apply several tweaks in Chainfire3D to get it running somewhat stable.
works on prime 1.4
I have reverted to prime rom vs 1.4 and order and chaos, monopoly, lets golf 3, sim city, fifa 12 and many others that were previously unavailable all appear on market and install fine. I am currently playing Order & Chaos from market without flaw.
edit: Have been trying various roms such as Prime 1.4r2, 1.6r2, 2.1. It seems android 3.1 and 3.01 all show these games and 3.2 / 4.0 does not. Prime 1.4 uk install has Gameloft netherland as market source all others are just Gameloft
Gameloft doesn't like ASUS, so they all appear incompatible in market. You'd have to edit your build.prop to make market think you have say... a motorola xoom and buy from there. Or get the apk from another android device you have and edit the apk to not check for device compatibility.
I understand the changing of build.prop and have tried many methods to get gameloft games working in the past. I am now using a stock 3.1 nvflash and Order & chaos does indeed show up on the play store as purchased and I can install it without problem. This is without any modifications or hacked apk. Perhaps someone else on 3.1 can confirm this is not just my good luck.
Check your build.prop with prime, something may be different. I'm really reluctant to even look at honeycomb again though xD with ICS so great for me.
After updating to Kit Kat I decided to try out a game I've been playing recently (Modern Combat 4). A normally smooth game with not too many glitches is now nearly unplayable. When I am aiming my gun (It is an FPS game) the aim goes crazy as if someone else is moving my screen around. I was interested to see if this was an issue with only this game... It wasnt. Modern Combat 3 doesn't even start up, minecraft pocket edition has the same weird movements while moving my player around. Grand theft auto vice city has had extreme lag issues. For me this is a major issue because I use my tablet a lot for gaming. By the way it is a Nexus 7 (2013) Running stock 4.4. So overall, my question is has anyone else experienced this? Has google said anything about it, and if none of these have happened yet... How can I downgrade to 4.3? Thank You!

Frankly it may not be a googles problem but more the app and game developers updating their apps for the Kit kat version of Android, which I am sure they are already working on, as its money in the bag for them As for end users, yes, its a pain in the butt till updates starts rolling out.
Check this out! Links to useful Guides and " Banned " Documentaries
the problem is in the app not yet been upgraded to Android 4.4. Give it time and you'll see that everything will work out for the best!
On my nexus 10 I had problems only when using art, and the list of apps and games which doesn't support it's rapidly shrinking. Performance wise I don't seem to notice anything different.
I wanted to try kitkat
But the more I read, the less I think I'm going too like it.
