(Q) What is your experience with Magic 2014? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the new game is out and it's playable on tablets (recommended), but I notice very weird glitches on my Note 10.1
Anyone tried the game? Do you think this is bug-related or is it just that our GPU can't handle it? You know, it is stated that only 1Gb of RAM is *not enough* to play it (I know we have 2Gb)

Just side loaded the hacked version on my Samsung Galaxy S3...other than the text being tiny the game runs well.
It did however crash when I went around in the MultiPlayer section.
I'm also running it on a Kindle Fire HD, so I would believe your 10.1 should handle it well.

I dont think its that simple, if the video is encoded at 720p and is of a large size and bitrate it should still be as challenging to play, even if its not using all of the reso.
The bigger question is who is playing it? Is the app really optimized to be running on the dual core tegra? I havent had a chance to because my TF isnt arriving tomorrow but I handbraked some 720p files that i have run through my Evo with no problems so we shall see how the recoded videos work with the stock player compared to MKVs through a 3rd party player.
Also are both running off the same SD card.

Samsung said they couldn't produce enough Exynos so even some of their SGS2 phone have to switch to Tegra 2. That's why the 10.1 can't get the Exynos
I dont know about the sgs2, but my Epic has built in Divx codex for playing video. The Tf may not have the same codec pack or asus is usiing some proprietary software that isnt utilizing the tegra well.
Its not about the res I think tegra 2 is a joke cuz its really slow if u compare it with sgs 2 prossesor I wish samsung change its plan with there tab and make there new tabs with better cpu

The tegra 2 is a joke? Well, mines sailing along at 1.6ghz right now and makes all the previously mentioned look bad. Unhappy with your transformer or galaxy tab?

It would take more work to decode a 720p video and reencode it at a lower resolution on the fly. It's the tegra 2 and honeycomb combo. Tegra 2 can handle 1080p just not high profile h264.

I saw this in a YouTube review. The TF had studdery video and the Xoom did not. They both have Tegra 2 processors so I don't think these the problem.
I'm personally hoping its software related and crossing my fingers that HC 3.1 will solve the problem.

Bad graphics on games

I've been trying some games on my GT p3110 and I've noticed the graphics are pretty weak compared to other devices', games such as The Dark Knight Rises, MC4 and others. I'm uploading some printscreens of Blitz Brigade I took while playing. Check out the outlines of the shapes..Are your graphics better than this or it's normal on this device?

Our tab isn't the best option for games... maybe its normal for our tab.

First of all post high res pics .

I don't see any graphics issue leaving games like real racing 3 which set graphics intensity according to devices(which can be set to high with some patches after which it too works great).

U can probably do something similar with other games!
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
If you run custom ROMs like CyanogenMod or flash a custom kernel such as KK, you realise that most graphic issues are resolved. The problem lies mostly with the outdated/poor implementation of PowerVR drivers in Samsung's stock ROM. Custom ROMs & kernels are using newer drivers.
HM I tried to do that with the game in example (Real Racing 3) and it worked but I don't see how to do that with other games

There's some patching tool for Modern Combat 4 that can tweak the graphics if I recall. I think you can check in the HTC One X forum.
But that's beside the point, the main point being that the PowerVR SGX540 GPU is starting to feel a little underpowered as it shows its age. Even if you could force the games to run on high or max settings, performance would take a big hit, in some cases, the game slows to an unplayable pace.
The reason why there are patches, tools & mods to manually tweak graphics settings is because of the fragmented nature of Android, some devices have powerful hardware but have not been properly supported by the game developer yet.
---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------
By the way, I have checked out the screenshots in this thread, they seem fine?
I would recommend the threadstarter to check out these games on other PowerVR SGX540 devices for a better comparison. If these games look better on other PowerVR SGX540 devices, then it would warrant further investigation.
As I mentioned already, the stock Samsung firmware for P31xx uses older PowerVR drivers according to various modders. By switching to custom ROMs or kernels that implement newer PowerVR drivers, users have reported better graphic performance/compatibility in games.
Well i had bad graphics with brotherhood of violence
I had installed brotherhood of violence game and was surprised to see the difference in graphics between s2 and tab2 for the same game. Graphics were soo terrible that i had tp uninstall the game from my tab and had to play on s2....
Well one possibility to have better graphics is to overclock the gpu(more computations per second) and then use patches for higher settings in games... as previously mentioned in the thread some developers ( mainly gameloff) seriously cap the performance...
u can use any custom kernel like kk's blackhawk/next kernel or dhollem kernel to overclock the GPU... see their respective threads for more info..
Our tabs GPU is clocked at 304mHz by default in stick and cm... these kernels allow overclocking 384mHz and 512mHz..
so the problem of frame rate drops when using patches can be solved by overclocking the GPU...
But we need to remember that Powervr540 is at least 4 yr old technology( i first saw it in galaxy s)... so we need to cut it some slack...
Cheers

Half-Life 2 (portal) playable on non-tegra devices [How to]

Hi all!
I find way to play Half-life 2 on non-tegra devices. I get it run on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Snapdragon 800 version) using app GLTools. Just make sure you install on start GLTools second options (install texture decoders on first gltools install), then download game and set settings for HL2 in GLTools like these:
activate function Optimize GLSL shaders
Use fake gpu info
Template: tegra 4
Simple mapbuffer emulation
Software VBO emulation
Use packed stencil buffer
With these settings and connected moga controller i was able to run game and play it. Its playable but sometimes its get laggy on in bigger arenas. I also get crash bug on the end of first part - after the first elevator part the game hang on a loading screen. Its always crash but it has solution - just start HL2 again, start new game and chose second part, it will be already avaliable and you can continue in playing Enjoy!! For now i have something about 1hour of playing and still no problem. Only thing is sometimes weird textures, but this is done by emulating T4.
And now question on you all - i wonder if its possible to hack google play, that i can see and buy portal too?? I want to try it. I thing Portal will be playable too with these settings. :good:
I couldn't find the software VBO emulation and use packed stencil buffer options
EDIT: Just updated GLTools and got it to work!
Only problem is is when I lock my phone while playing I have to restart the phone cause it sort of freezes

Cant get it to work on the Samsung s3 mini, it just crashes at the source logo. I saw a similar thread to this on 4pda and portal worked with these settings.

UPDATE: Please check if you really selected the right plugin.
Now only the models Textures appears, all other Textures are black. Im lucky i know every single map from both games. So I can navigate with ease even with those. I will play around with settings and see what I can do.
Device tested: Nexus 4 PA 4.2 Beta, Snapdragon 600 - Good FPS, texture bugs.
Fixed everything, i have enabled the other options (sRGB emulation and stuff) and now it works.
Configs for N4
Same as above but enable:
Half-float texture Jack
FBO Attachment (i think thats its name)
sRGB emulation

RAM on the K1

I'm in the market for a new tablet to replace my Gpad GPE. Storage and RAM are the same on the K1 as I have now, and I am always having RAM and storage issues. The RAM is my biggest concern because this GPad slows to a crawl when RAM use is high.
How does the K1 performing for everyone? Any RAM issues? Would anyone recommend looking for a tablet with 3gb of RAM instead?
I do not do any gaming. I read, stream videos and play downloaded music, primarily on the tablet.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.

For reading, stream videos and play music no RAM issues here.
