Shadowgun

I can confirm that Shadowgun works with Chainfire on the Xperia Play, gamepad also works! Unfortunately, the only functional buttons are the d-pad and the square and cross buttons, so you'll have to use the touchscreen to look around and switch weapons.

how smooth is it?

interesting, i used the CF patch, and the game says: "Not supported device [Exit]"

for me it crashes....

it will only go through the opening movie then crashes, what settings are you using so the rest of us can enjoy some shadowgun goodness

Same here, opening movie then crash.

Saw this on another website for the game.
"Non tegra users use this method works for me
enable NVIDIA OpenGL driver then "Disable MAp Buffer emu" and "Enabled Reduce texture size" ! on chainfire3D"
I do not have the game or chainfire so I cannot say if this really works. Just thought I would share what I found in hopes that it will work, becuase if it does I will seriously sign up for it.

Damn that really works...

just tried using those settings and still crashing so hopefully the op can shed some light on the proper settings

anyway, the controls suck tho not really playable...

Pouxonu love the sig.
" Now get your 7'2" asmatic-ass back here before I tell everyone what a whiny little ***** you were about Padamame, or Panda Bear, or whatever the hell her name is!"
Robot Chicken... awesome show

played around with it some more and the settings i used were unroll textures, reduce texture size , and disable mapbuffer emu. It got the game going but once two baddies showed up I got one of them and as i was turning toward the other one it froze up and had to do a battery pull, so going back in and see what happens. and thanks always a go to quote for me.
*update* went back in and resumed game and nothing so we still need some help

Same problem here with HTC Incredible S

Guys the devs of shadowgun said there will be a non tegra version out in a couple of days.

got this problem with my play too and some of my devices too. (desire S,arc,sgs and Nexus S)

from what i read from the other forums, once you killed the baddies you must not see their corpse slowly disappearing on your sight, or else you gotta do a battery pull.

good new guys!! the release for XPlay version is this week! =D

GTA3 Arms Shortage crashing and other problems

I'm having a bit of a problem with GTA3. On the Arms Shortage mission given by the cop on the second island every time I drive into the marker in the army base the game crashes straight to my home screen, no force close or anything. If I get out and walk into the marker the game takes control and makes the player do a stupid lap around the base, resulting in death.
The game also takes control of the player every time I complete a casino mission and makes him walk into a wall continuously, the only way to regain control is to quit and resume.
Anyone have similar problems or know what to do?

gta 3 crash
i got the exact same problem, i think its the 1.3 update that causes it, i have not found any fix for this yet, i hope Rockstar makes an update for FC and crashes :S

I hadnt any problems with this mission.
If u want i can upload my sd files and u try it with your saves.

I haven't had a single problem with my GTA III game and I've had it since release but have only started playing it since the 1.3 patch.

The 1.3 Update is great. The only problem i´ve had so far is that when i press the aim button when i have the M16 rifle equipped nothing happens. I can´t aim manually with it. This didn´t occur in Version 1.0. Anyone else having this problem?

Could you please? It's driving me mad, I can't advance anymore lol.
Also which button is to aim? I thought it was auto aim only :/.

It´s the menu button on the gamepad. Under the d pad. Just works with the sniper rifle, the rocket launcher and the M16 which obviously doesn´t in 1.3 with this button. You´ll need to use the onscreen keys to get into manual aim with the M16.

Anyone else having these problems?

This is happening due to the High Cpu & Ram demand on the game as soon as you drive into the position, if you check the Xperia Play Themes & Apps section, my CAR MODV2 is available which was designed for people which there game crashes like yours, word of advice though, anytime you drive a police car it will be slow (speed)
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Nah lad thats not it, thanks though. Don't really see how editing the handling.cfg is going to affect ram/cpu usage?
ATM I'm redownloading the sd card files as I believe some of the mission scripting is corrupted, the only reason I haven't tried this before is that my wifi connection is terrible, going to take a while lol.

If anyone could upload or send me their SD card files it would be a great help, when my wifi craps out at over 23% GTA3 won't boot and I have to delete and start over again, never ending cycle lol.

Sry guys, I just tried the 1.3 update, and I was wondering if I can can set the movement controls to the touchpads. I read that on xperiagamer, but I can't find anything in the game options, I can only move with the dpad. Maybe you just can't move with the touchpads?

When you enter the location, aload of police cars start chasing you & you have to escape, due to this your CPU usage is quite high & ram & probably cant cope
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

It has nothing to do with cpu or ram usage, it's just a glitch in the game. There are no more people or cars than in any other mission.
The way I got around the glitch, though, is by first walking into the trigger area (the blue circle of light thing), instead of driving into it. Then, as he jogs around the area ignoring user input, he will get close enough to the tank for the "door" on-screen button to appear, which you can press to break his jogging cycle.
He'll run over to the tank, try to get in, but it's locked, and you can then help the one-armed man kill the Columbian Cartel attackers.
Hope this helps others! Sure was a hassle for me lol.
Edit: I'm playing this on a Droid Bionic, btw, not the xperia

When i had this mission i take ol and use them as barricade and than destroy cartel using granades. Try it maybe it helps...
Of course i did it on r800i

hi
at first sorry for my bad english.I'm new (they call it NOOB :laugh
I had the same problem(crashing in this mission) and I searched it through the internet but i couldn't get pass of that.

at last I found it! the problem is with the cars..when you go in the marked area with a car,it crashes...when ever you had this problem,just go at the marked area on YOUR FOOT!! thats it..it works for this problem in any mission crashes like this
I hope that I could help some of you my friends in my FIRST comment:good:

Very Basic Question About FIFA 15!

I have downloaded FIFA 15 onto my OnePlus One, but i don't understand how to play a custom match? When i select 'Play' from the menu and then 'Quick Match', it comes up with the team selection but i can't change my own team, only the opposition?!
Anyone know why this is? I don't play much FIFA so it's probably just something simple which i've overlooked.
Help would be appreciated!

Tbh I never liked FIFA games, why? Because of the issue you're having. I've never actually been able to play a game as i was never able to figure it out.

Yeah i don't understand why they feel the need to make it so complicated. Not once have i ever played a mainstream title like this and not actually understood how to start the game!
Come on, someone must know how to do this?

Nook Glowlight plus- "no-refresh" display mode

Hi Everyone,
I have a Nook Glowlight+ device which i bought for my 60 year old father.
He needs a device to browse the web with, and regular LCD/Amoled hurts his eyes.
I successfully rooted the device, it runs Android 4.4.
"No refresh" mode allows smoother browsing on an E-ink screen like in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b7JjllImjM
I know it has been done somehow for the device's previous version (Nook touch):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502723
I am not an expert, but i found there are files that define the various display modes, they start with the name "WAVEFORM_MODE_X"
I know the one that defines the "no-refresh" is "WAVEFORM_MODE_A2".
Does anyone have an experience with these types of devices?
Does anyone have an Idea how I can configure it?
Any Kind of help would be appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

Possible solution

It might be a bit late for this, but for anyone who is reading, the NOOK Simple Touch NoRefreshToggle does indeed work with the glowlight plus. it's not perfect, but it certainly helps. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22800284#post22800284
If you get any messages suggesting that NoRefresh crashed, It seems that they can be ignored. Interestingly enough, it remains in effect.
PS: I recommend checking "Start Service on Startup" in NoRefresh Settings so that you do not need to reapply the service manually upon every reboot.
PPS: Grayscale remains in effect, scrolling in many apps will still cause noticeable refresh, but seemingly less. When swiping through the pages of a NOOK e-book, I only experienced minor refresh in graphic novels. text only books did not need to refresh at all.
Hope this helps someone!
Disclaimer: Like with everything and everyone else, you try this at your own risk. You will probably be fine, but it's not on me if you mess up your device. This will likely be a one-time post, so don't waste your time waiting for me. Hell, I posted this practically on a whim. Still though, good luck!
Edit: You may want to hold off on this. It's pretty glitchy, so it is going to need some configuring.

How is your experience so far with the Quest ?

Hello!
As you know it is one of the futuristic technologies, Please share your experience so far!
Games - Screen resolution - Sound - ergonomically...etc
Thanks!

The best thing I think I have ever bought! Has a few software quirks but is solid . Especially the tracking(hand, head and your physical location in space). Side loading any APK via Oculas Screen is a god send. My brain has a hard time remembering it not reality. And there a lot of games and apps already via oculas and third-parties. Can't recommend it more. Got to be seen to be believed.

Absolutely love it. I got to test it a while before it was released, and I absolutely knew I needed to have one. Beat Saber is amazing, and everyone that I've shown it to was really impressed.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get robo recall to load, so there seem to be a few bugs waiting to be ironed out (might be because I'm traveling between Europe and the US, and the store had some issues with the location?)

I Must say iv loving the quest so far. coming from a psvr the freedom of no wires is amazing. somebody has already mentioned the sidequest pc app, the helps you upload and download software from your quest, also gives you access to the full android on the quest, so you can link Bluetooth joypads and head phones. my quest also had 5 hidden demos of which 2 still worked this was taking up about 2Gb of storage and i could remove them via the full settings app which i now have access to. i have also loaded on some 3D Movies and find that skybox was the best app to view them, with it, its easy to select SBS or Under/Over and the soundtrack. As for Games Beatsaber already allows for custom tracks using the Questsonginstaller, iv not get over 100 tracks on my quest. and as for emulation, i really like the Virual Boy Emulator of Oculus Go which works perfect on quest in full 3D, but you do need to pair a Bluetooth controller to use it. but its great. As for the normal quest games, Vader Immortal, Face Your Fears 2 and Robo Recall are the main ones iv tried. they are all great, the tracking was great and now been able to do full room scale was a game changer for me. the games make visual compromises to get them working, but still looked good and ran great for me. if a new games was coming to both PSVR and QUEST i would get the quest version not just for the ease of setup and the visual hit was`t that much of a deal for me.
Thats about it, iv loving it so far, there are still a few more quest games i want come payday. If you want to try any of the above things above like me, i recommend looking up a tutorial on youtube and they tend to have all the links you need in the description.
cheers

Very cool) Shame that apps from go is not available on quest. Would love to have some apps from go on my quest. Hope we will figure out how to download apps from oculus stores someday.

A fair number of them can actually be pulled via adb and sideloaded on the quest

I was in 2 minds about the quest or the rift s.
so glad i went with this - as if you sideload ALVR its basically a wireless Rift as well. And i have essentially a mobile VR gaming console - i can take it to a field and simply go mad!!
simply love it! jsut need to know how to pair bluetooth gamepads ?
i have created a seperate thread asking this question.

just search for the APK file and OBB if needed
sideload the apk and copy over the OBB (if needed)

I have a very annoying issue. Probably anybody faced it and found a solution.
Sometimes Moss and Robo Recall which I bought in the store ceasing to launch and shows the three dots loader infinitely. It fixes only after reinstalling. So I lost saves every time.

Try using the patched apk and obb files - they work fine for me on robocall
so ironic how the pirate versions work better than the versions you pay for in many cases lol

Memorable experiences?
Exercise.
Eye contact in a porn video. Kind of frightening.
RecRoom paintball.
Chatting to what sounds like a 4 year old in BigScreen.
The pirating warning thread. We don't know this device well and I worry about the messiness of sideloading with a company like Facebook and Oculus. What data do they really have? I'm really looking forward to seeing how this thing is pulled apart.

you bring up a very interesting point with regards to piracy and FB.
You almost think....by making this thing on Android, and making it so easy to register as a developer and sideload apps - they have made it almost too easy to simply sideload games rather than pay some of the exageratingly overpriced tags!
Some of the games are extremely good IMO - namely:
Superhot
Creed
Sairento
Vadar Immortal.
there are many more which are very good also.
Yes the porn is scarey - i have stopped using it for fear of developing expectations in real life which are unattainable looool

So far I am pretty impressed with this headset. One thing I do not like is the head strap that comes with it. Totally ruins the whole experience for me. My HTC Vive is pretty much obsolete compared to the headsets I have now, so I used my 3D printer to print some adapters and put my Vive headstrap with the integrated headphones on my Oculus Quest and it is so much more comfortable. I wish the library for apps and games available were a little more robust, but overall they have some really good games that showcase this headset. Last night I just realized I could turn guardian completely off, so I was able to enjoy playing Red Matter while sitting comfortably in my recliner without my legs activating guardian because I was out of the play area. I did not think I would be enjoying this headset as much as I have been. It's not perfect, but definitely worth what I paid, for what it is.

Hey buddy - if you use sidequest you can sideload all sorts of developer apps.
as you had a Vive i would recommend you use ALVR - this will enable you to use the quest as if it was a Vive or a Rift and play all your PC games with it - and the best thing is it works wirelessly!
Enjoy!!

I have used sidequest to load Root Explorer, Virtual Desktop, and a settings.apk I found for android online, to access some of the extra settings that are initially hidden. Not that there is much you can actually do, with out rooting and/or installing TWRP or something. I tried using Virtual Desktop to use the Quest wirelessly like a Vive or a Rift, but I was not really pleased with the performance, and I had my PC wired directly to the router. I also have a fairly decent PC so I think its more of the app performance than an issue with my PC, which can probably be improved with updates overtime. I was thinking about trying ALVR in the next day or so to see how it is. Virtual Desktop was not bad, but I was hoping to have a little bit better graphics fidelity. I really hope we will get root eventually.

I wouldn't recommend VD to do what you want to do.
ALVR works seemlessly and i can play all my VR PC games on my quest perfectly.
ALVR is not intended as a VD solution - it is specifiacally to use with Steam VR/Oculus and in a sense simply tricks your pc into thinking you have connected a Rift or Vive headset and then displays and lets you play accordingly.
Remember to set the height offset to 15 otherwise it will look like you are on the floor....lol
