So I got SimCity originally for my DHD in the £/$0.10 sale.
Google Play states it's compatible with TF300. I download, run and open fine.
However within 5 minutes of playing the game will completely freeze up. Sound continues to play, and will continue to play even after returning to the home screen.
Has anyone else tried? Also I'm on version .17. I don't know if an update will fix it.
I also purchased simcity on my pad and had the same exact problem. Doesn't seem like EA is doing much to address this either, given it's low eating in the Play Store

I tried to find a way to contact EA about the problem but couldn't. When you go to game support, SimCity for mobile or Android doesn't show up.
Same issue here; it seems it's a problem with ICS.
If someone have a solution it will be great .
Almost certainly related to this problem. My users are reporting similar problems on my apps that are utilizing the newer ARMv7 instructions.
My solution to this problem would be to cut your losses and boycott ea games and not buy anymore android games from them anymore. If you have been around the android scene long enough, you would know that they are notorious for providing little to no support for their android games. If later on down the road, the game works for you, then great. If not, oh well.
So I recently upgraded to the infinity and I am loving it the speed and screen resolution are awesome! much better then the prime. However, there are a few games I bought while on the prime that seem to have issues on the infinity...I should have seen this seeing as the resolution is better. Anyways the games are:
Dead space (I am really upset about this one, I was just about to beat it on the prime).
Order and Chaos
The Sims FreePlay
Modern Combat 3
Any help you all could provide on this would be helpful. Has anyone gotten these games to work on their infinity?
P.S. the fact that the games are either from gameloft or EA hasn't gone unnoticed (we all know how great they are at updating their games).

Have you tried side-loading these apps to see if the really work or not? Sometimes, an app/game will be listed as incompatible for your device in the Play store, but will actually still work fine if side-loaded...

yeah...I got the modern combat to work that way. However, when order and chaos and dead space load up it connects with the server and says the game is not authorized for this device

Yeap, what he said. Plus it may help for you to contact them directly. I did this for a game in the past and they provided me an alternative download that still checked that I was authorized, but not the device was authorized. I got an email a month later as a FYI that the app was now gtg for my device (gnote) so I uninstalled/reinstalled (after TBing the game, just incase) the version from the APP store.
yea I emailed them directly yesterday...we'll see what they say.
Modern Combat 3 plays much better on the Infinity vs Prime. I still get connection losses but not as frequent. I'm actually able to finish a few rounds before a connection loss. Game play seems to be much smoother as well.

I have a similar problem with Real Racing and Need For Speed Shift, which are real losses. Can't find an EA Games email address so I hope they're working on it.
Hey guys,
I had this on another forum, but unfortunately that forum has moderators who take their job way too seriously and the topic was moved to a dead section before I could get more than one reply. But that's not important, so...
I am looking for everyone and anyone's experiences with Shadowgun THD on this device. I was digging through the Play Store's reviews and saw a ton of TF201 owners who couldn't even play the game (and a few that recommended it oddly enough), and the one TF700 review I was able to find said he experienced some lag and force closes.
Have any of you guys played the THD version on your Infinity? Experience any issues? Is it worth the (supposedly minor) graphic enhancements?
I have not purchased the normal version, I was holding out buying the game until I got this tablet, but now I am not sure if the increased graphic display will drag down gameplay. The bit of experience I had with a Madfinger game is DeadTrigger. Even though this game is not specifically a Tegra version, I am able to play on the Ultra-High graphics setting with no issues. I will say this, watching zombies fly backwards after being shot with a shotgun on an Android device is damned impressive.
Any experience or thoughts is greatly appreciated. The one reply I received on the aforementioned board was that the user experienced no issues, but I would like to hear from as many people as possible. Thanks!

No problems for me except the game isn't outputting native 1920x1200. It looks to be an upscaled 1280x800 so it will look relatively blurry on the infinity's screen.
Plays fine on mine. Especially fun using one of my PS3 controllers through the Sixaxis app

Yeah the main reason I'm getting this game is because it is one of the few shooters with gamepad support, which is way more snappy than touch emulation.

I sometimes have trouble getting this game to play smoothly after I start shooting. If I reboot the tablet or just clear all running tasks using the task manager, it plays very well.

Kind of related, I just tried Auralux for the first time on my JB TF700 and it laggs like hell, every 5 or 10 seconds it freezes, anyone else with this problem? I thought this was a "famous" game everyone has, but I doubt it if it laggs like this.
I never played Shadowgun THD for too long on the TF700 cause the framerate is way too low. I also experienced a few crashes. The weird thing is, I played this game a lot on my HTC One X, and never had any low framerate or crash issue. I know the screen resolution on the two devices is different, but as someone mentioned before, Shadowgun isn't displayed in 1920*1080 on the TF700.
I had no issue in Dead Trigger. The framerate is much more solid, even if the resolution of the game is higher.
I also played all the free levels of Auralux, and there was no freezes, the game was really enjoyable. However, in Beach Buggy Blitz, it's impossible to max the graphics settings if you want to keep a decent framerate. Once again, no issue on my One X, but unlike Shadowgun, the game is displayed in Full HD on the TF700, where it's "only" 720p on the One X.
Absolutely no problems with shadowgun or NOVA 3... after jelly bean update NOVA 3 flies!
interesting post as i play the regular Shadowgun on my tf700 with no problems. the graphics actually look really good and game play has been solid for me. i actually just emailed the game developers yesterday because i thought i had the THD version and realized it was the regular, i was requesting if they could help with switching, which they agreed to do (buy THD and they will refund the regular). but now im having second thoughts after reading this post. i may buy it, see how it plays and return if not as good or better.
i also play Dead Trigger and the graphics and game play are excellent on it as well.
actually, all my games are playing MUCH better after JB update. this is my second tf700 (the first had accidental damage and was replaced via squaretrade) and actually things on this one seem to run pretty good overall.

Hmm that's weird, any idea what the problem might be for me? I've tried to close all tasks with the stock app manager and closed all tasks in the task bar. I play the game but it's annoying as hell when it freezes every 5 seconds. May it that it's a hardware problem? Auralux seems fun to play...if it would work.
I just tried Dead trigger also, and it also tends to lag...don't think it did before JB update though.

So, to be sure, I restarted Auralux... and yes, there are freezes indeed. Maybe not as often as you describe, but freezes nonetheless.
The only thing that has changed between the last time I played Auralux and now is that I upgraded my tablet with the official JB update. I don't know if it's related, or even why it would be.
Maybe someone with a custom JB rom could try the game (it's free) and tell us if he's also facing such freezing issue.

Auralux bug is confirmed by the developers and they are working on a fix. It is an issue with the Infinity in combination with JB.

Good luck. Hopefully one of the mods here won't move it to the Q&A forum effectively killing it. I wish that forum didn't exist, the mods have killed several of my threads that had just gotten going in generating some discussion by moving it to the Q&A forum which basically stops the thread cold.

I have the non-THD version and it is awesome. The reviews you saw where it was failing were probably due to ICS NVIDIA driver bug that effectively made the TFs under ICS unable to play 3d games.

Ah okey, so I am not the only one having the freezes this frequently?
Has anyone tried playing Shadowgun THD in cleanrom? Does it make any difference in performance? I know the benchmark scores and general tasking is much faster and less laggy.
I'd just like to say my game runs like a dream. JB + root, nothing else. The rest is stock
Also the multiplayer beta runs just as well. Its a baller ass game

So I was so mad that Need For Speed Most Wanted didn't work on the Tablet so I asked on Firemonkeys Support why and they told me this
Code:
Hi Rodolfo,
We apologize that we have not been able to support your device for launch.
Unfortunately there are some problems with the GPU drivers on the ASUS Transformer range that
ASUS and nVidia are aware of and working to release a firmware update to fix.
Once these issues have been corrected, your device should be able to download the game.
Regards,
Nina.

Could be true or could be there way of passing the blame, Who knows to be honest..
Please, lame excuses.
All EA and Gameloft games work fine on the Infinity. They're just too lazy to change the compatibility list on Google Play. I'm running most of them, all without issues.
Imo, doesn't mean anything special. This tablet has some gaming performance problems with many games, not only NFSMW. Check Asphalt 7, The Dark Knight and Babel Rising 3D performance compared to let's say a Galaxy S3. Resolution may be a factor but gpu is weak even in those so hyped Tegra 3 games with choppy framerates (i have watched some Nexus 7 gaming videos, framerate doesn't seem to be different in some games)

Agreed. I have Asphalt 7 and TDKR.
S3 = perfect!
TF700 = Framerate lag. However, Asphalt 7 is bearable if you play with the keyboard or a controller (the lag is less noticeable like that, for me at least).
It's sad how such a high quality tablet with great specs performs so poorly. Hah, a smartphone can perform better than a tablet. Wow.
I'm not sure I could trust a statement like that unless it came from Asus or nvidia directly. Forward that directly to Tien or Gary and see what they say.
Why is this thread in the general section? This should be in the apps section. People look at this and think your talking about an OTA from ASUS...Moderator move this please!

Yes, and if im not mistaken the point is about the how well a game works on the infinity. So since we are talking about a game...it belongs in the app section regardless of whether it need to be fixed by the app maker or asus. Just saying...

I just tired to ask something to Asus and don't get a anwser.
The "updates" from Asus are like "downdates" once that its just give "little gifts" for us, gifts like the mysteriously reset.
I got today a message about new update for my Asus 700, and updated it just from OTA to version JB 4.1.1 - JR003C.WW_epad-10.4.4.20-20121026.
All wents smooth and without problems.After update root was gone,but voodoo Keeper made his magic... Also-root work fine now as well...

Hi Ned Flanders !
So just got my EVGA Tegra Note 7 yesterday. The games I wanted to play the most will not allow me to play them with the touchscreen due to them thinking I have a controller connected. What does Gameloft look at to determine if there's a gampad connected? It seems to think I have a Nvidia Shield because that's the controller layout it shows whenever I start the game. I am rooted so I can change the build.prop actually tried changing it to a Nexus 7 but that didn't work.
Aye!! BUMP! I have the same problem too. Launched Asphalt 8 with my tegra note to see how crazy the graphics were, turns out it thinks I have the nvidia shield.... I emailed gameloft, I hope they change it!
seems to be that way on all the Gameloft titles
Even when you go to their support area the Tegra Note is not listed in their "which device do you own". They seem to be lagging behind.
Same problem here guys, it appears all the gameloft games see the tegra 4 devices as the nvidia shield. Bit of a bummer, as even changing the build.prop doesnt seem to fix the issue. One of the guys over at evga managed to get it to work by using an app called game keyboard?
Yeah that is me over on Evga . Game Keyboard is a $2.99 app that will require root to emulate on screen keys as if it were an external game controller. I'll post a sd screen shot when I get a chance. I went on a search high and low to figure it out. Changed the build.prop no dice. Gameloft isn't very quick to fix stuff unless Nvidia can push them a bit but doubt it because they're hopefully busy finishing 4.3 update.

The buttons on the bottom control the game. You have to set them up its a bit of a pain at first but then you get familiar and it at least let's you play the game. The buttons register as a keyboard input method and you simply push the volume up button to show or hide it.
Picture didn't work..
Has anyone got assassins creed pirates installed? Shows up as incompatible which is silly as is optimised for tegra.
I haven't tried modifying build prop to shield yet to test that

Same issue here and even if you use a joypad it cuts out about a minute in and choppy frame rates , some times it well crash as well
There was an update to Asphalt 8 today and it no longer detects the Note as a Shield, so we can play with touchscreen controls now. I haven't tried any other Gameloft games yet.
