GTA 3 stutter

I'm running GTA 3 v1.3 on my Note and I'm noticing some stutter. Not stutter as in low framerate, but some micro-hangs when driving around. Framerate is very good, but this stutter is not normal. My Galaxy S, while running at a much lower framerate and no audio doesn't exhibit this. It's like read speeds from the internal SD aren't high enough to stream data to the RAM, and this leads to lag. Anyone else having this?
I'm running stock LA4, stock CPU,very few apps installed. Could this be ROM related? I didn't notice this in videos of GTA3 on the Note on YouTube.
Any ideas?

Galaxy S: 800x480
Galaxy Note: 1280x800
The Note has to push A LOT more pixels than the S. GTA doesn't stutter here, but i'm running custom kernel, Franco #7 on LB1 deodexed w/ few stock apps ++.

I'm not talking about framerates. Framerates are high. This is the kind of stutter like there isn't enough RAM.
The only explanation I can give is that SD-card read rates are not high enough.
Hasn't anyone else experienced this on stock ROMs?

Please, can anyone check this on their Note? I'm running LB1 with franco-7 kernel and this is still present. Framerate is even higher now (with frame limiter off, ofcourse) due to the 400 Mhz GPU clock, but it still stutters. This didn't happen on GTA 3 v1.0 when I first tried it when it came out. It could be GTA's fault and not the phone's.
It does this no matter the graphics settings. Even on lowest resolution and view distance and everything else off...
Thanks for the help.

I haven't been playing all that much, but I definitely have had some hangups too, about 0.3-0.5 seconds long.

I assume this is GTA related problems, some caching might be done in the main thread only when certain models/textures are needed, causing the lags. I played several HD games, and others seem to be better at smooth performance.

I had the same problem initially. It would pause for a split second every once in awhile.
Inadvertently because I had just got my phone and was just testing - I had to reinstall and it seemed to run perfectly. I don't know if it's a different version/update (how do you tell?) but I believe it was GTA Anniversary Edition 1.03

Yeah mines the same hangs for a split second maybe once every half hour or something. Not a major issue, its never really bothered me with it not happening very often.

you need to uncheck something from graphic setting mate. if i remember well was lowering viewing distance or something like that... it worked for me after.give it a shot.

I have a problem where it vibrates randomly... Any ideas

No one encountered this?

Yeah, vibrates randomly for me too.
I don't know about the stutter. Don't think this is the phone. It used to run nice and now, despite the good framerate it stutters like mad. Really annoying. Or maybe the borked something in the latest update (v1.3).

Try turning vibration feedback off. Its in options>audio>vibration feedback.

I made it much smoother by unselecting the Max frame rate option I believe, I also installed chainfires 3d app so that may have also contributed.

Gamming on TF700

Good Morning all.
I bought the TF700 to try gaming on a full HD tregra 3 device, and what better tablet than this one. I knew ahead of time that the resolution and dpi was going to pull gaming down a bit.
I downloaded Horn yesterday and played a few hours, and overall the game is great, but it lags noticeably. In many places the fps look very low and goes beyond my confort. I mainly use this tablet to read and its my overall media device.
What do you guys think. Is there anything I can do to improve gaming? I'm a bit jealous because the nexus 7 and HOX guys are all saying how good it is in their devices. But I really like this tablet and want to keep it.
Any input would be great guys, thaks.
PS. I'm full stock, havent messed with it yet.

Try rooting and debloating...
... we will need to get more custom ROM work going, ASUS stock is just a mish-mosh of dirty hax and yucky code.

I don't know about that game at all. You could try force 2d rendering in the developers section of settings. May help with lag, other than trying performance setting.

It just came out yesterday, but it has not settings I can play with. Will sit tight for a while and see how far we can take this tablet. I will try root and debloat and go from there.

You can also install a program that allows you to change the cpu governor like SetCPU. When I have plenty of power I set it to performance for a smoother experience. Once we have an overclockable kernel I suspect this device will fly even moreso. They were able to get the T30L to 2 Ghz, our T33 might be pushed further than that

Plz dont trick people if you dont know.
Tegra3 's GPU is not powerful enough(only 12 cuba units......too weak...), in other words, Horn 's graph is the best we can have. Laggy is not a problem beccause of 1080p res.
There's nothing else we can do ,(BTW, overclocking is not working here)
We can wait for the next version of Horn which may lower some physic and shadow effects to improve the performance.

Are you sure your tablet is running in "performance" mode rather than the "balance" mode that it starts in on bootup?
I ran the game for hours flawlessly ...

I restarted it many times and it always boots in balance. I will try to chane it to boot in performance mode. Im sure theres and option for this. I'll update if all the above help.
oh, I always kill all tasks before palying high graphics games using asus task manager.
Thanks

Yea i get this lag too with the game. I used system tuner pro to set the CPUs to a solid 1.6 and still saw the lag or FPS drop.

So I purchased the game also, and the game would start to load and then music would play with a blank screen, then cut out.... anyone else having this problem???

Is this game optimized for the screen resolution of the TF700? Anyone own a prime still that can compare how it runs on both systems? The extra resolution might be enough to cause some playing issues. Maybe the same issues are present in the lower resolution devices but it's harder to notice.

i will also test this game out with the tf300 my brother has. I want to know if tf700 can play it better because...ahem.. the devs of horn told ipad 2s and 3 people . "it's much easier on the tegra... nvidia really knows their physics.." and basically no can do, when they raged about tegra effects. So I wanted to know how this tablet would handle it. SO, ill keep trying.

Problem with gaming ? (NFS No Limits for me)

I dont know if it happen with another game because this is the only game i play.
The game works perfectly on my old Note 5 (lollipop) but very laggy on my new S7 . It work good for about 5 beginning minnutes then fps drop very bad . The device only waming a bit so i guess its not about the temperature. Anybody have this problem and know any solution ?

yes NFS no limits lags on My S7 (exynos) and other S7 (exynos) users aswell, many games are not Android M or S7 optimized yet
i'm not sure about SD variant though
Cheers~

hmm i nearly finish this game , maybe i should finish it on note 5 before upgrade

There's a thread here about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/3d-games-performance-issues-t3338882 which I think might apply to you too.
Basically the game service and gamepad service that Samsung installed on the new S7 impact the performance by quite a bit.

no, GameService and GamepadService have nothing to do with it's performance (outside the screen dimming). there's something else at play here. No Limits doesn't even run at the correct resolution and settings (it runs with the lowest settings possible + doesn't properly detect multitouch) compared to older devices with Lollipop. it's probably a combination of events: Google / Samsung introduced something that effects all gaming performance with 6.x devices (and many users confirmed that) AND possible lack of optimization for SD820.

Well i can confirm this as im playing nfs no limits on the snap dragon and exynos variants right now. The SD is MUCH more smoother and i did not know what lag is till i picked up the exynos. Basically both work fine up till the screensapace is filled with rain, reflection and more moving texture effects, i.e when speeding through a more urban landscape as opposed to inside tunnels or that industrial backroads type parts that come up. The snapdragon really shines here making gameplay smooth where as the exynos just drops. Used package disabler extensively on both phones and they're on the same network with airplane mode on (for cellular, turned wifi on after turning airplane on)

Can someone help me plz
The game was working fine but now when i click on game icon the monkey logo comes and then nothing
I return to app drawer
Plz help

Pubg on note 10 SD 855

I'm playing on the note 10 snapdragon 855.. I ordered the Chinese version snapdragon so I can play perfectly on pubg.. The game runs like a charm with 60 fps on hdr graphics and extreme fps.. Recently maybe 3 days ago now the game doesn't run as smooth.. It looks like the game can't run on 60 fps anymore.. As if it's locked to 40 or 45 fps.. Tried reinstall the game.. Lowering graphics even tried other 60 fps games like asphalt 9 and no luck.. Only pubg not running as smoothly as it was.. Even I tried the gfx tool with all settings low except 60 fps and no luck.. Now it's even worse than my old note 9.. I tried the game on my friend's phone xaomi mi 9 with snapdragon 855 and it was running smooth.. I just got this phone like one month ago.. Anyone having same issue?!

I’ve been facing the same issue Nd I just couldn’t handle it so I read few options online.i tried one of them Nd it worked.try uninstalling update for game launcher and game optimisation service and update them again Nd restart your phone and clear your ram from device maintenance 4 to 7 times and it should work then. That’s what I did.if not repeat the process.the problem was dat it there was no difference between ultra and extreme fps..

Guys why not just get a Xbox or PS4 if your after gaming ? Think about it, it's not fan cooled the Note 10 + it's just a marketing play yeah you can play pubg or Fortnite but for hardcore gaming the note 10 + is not the phone to get.. it will lag or get a bootle kneck that you are experiencing! You need to get ASUS ROG Phone II or Razer Phone 2 that are manufactured with gaming in mind!

i do not agree, know some really good hardcore gamers without any keypad just plain smartphone display and are really good in WoT or PUBG or fortnite

It's not about gaming itself.. it's about that the phone is not functioning as it should be.. when I spend double the price for a phone with certain specs, I don't wanna see much cheaper decics with same chip works better!

Haven't you seen that video Snapdragon vs Exynos? Samsung CPU suck when it comes to gaming! They start to throttle bottleneck 10mins into gaming Samsung Exynos is the wrong phones to purchase if you are after gaming..
Quick question do you have face unlock enabled ? And what about finger prints? If to both is yes delete face unlock and disable it, same goes for finger prints delete them don’t use any form of locks. Then try gaming!
Let us know if you get a performance boost!

I have the problem again now.. and I don't know why when I install all my apps it'll happen soon, but if I installed only pubg on the phone can be fine too long..
anyway.. can't find the option to uninstall updates for game launcher and game optimisation service.. how u did it?!

Im having the same problem here. My pubg seems like got locked at 30 to 40 fps after i update my phone, have you found the solution? I tried everything but i still cant do it.

Okay, quickfix which works for Exynos and may work on SD too. Essentially while in game, when the framerate begins to fall, press the home button or recent apps button, goto another app for a second and then come back to the game and things should run smoothly for a while. The reason it lags imo, is because of an age old throttling system on Samsung Devices called DVFS

Did u find any solution ? i have the same issue here. i did GPU watch so i found that in Graphic setting the Ultra and the Extrame are the same FPS which is 39-40 max. i tried Call of duty adn did the same .. i could get 60 FPS
so uninsalled the game but that didint fix it ,, so i contacted PUBG and see if they can help me..
Edit> i found it by accident
install Package Disabler Pro and disable the game optimizing service and there you go 60 FPS is back
feel free to thank me

I had the same issue. I fixed it by going to Developer options, scroll down to hardware accelerated rendering, and make sure Disable HW overlays is checked on. I have the t-mobile version note10, but I'm not sure of this matters.

I had the same issue with my Tab S6, also an SD 855 device. All i did was clear the cache of PUBG and now it runs as smooth as a fresh install. I noticed the cache was bloated to about 2gb on mine. Hope this helps. Update me if it works.
Thank you.

Like how please elaborate

Aim issue
Hey sorry its off the topic but do you think the 3rd person close combat sucks in note 10+. I mean the aim gets stuck and u cant control it. If not then, can u send the senstivity settings for 3rd person pls.

My solution
I had a similiar problem earlier. I eventually got frustrated and uninstalled PUBG.
Few weeks later, I found out the problem was in phone settings -> Device care -> Battery -> Power mode.
I had it set to 'optimized' which doesnt work well with the game.
The solution was to set the power mode to 'High performance '. Start the game and enjoy*

Gaming problems (phone lagging)

Hi everyone.
Someone else experiencing problems while gaming?
I'm playing Dragon Ball Legends and sometimes the game becomes very very slow.
Tried deleting the game from Game Space, and it seemed worked at first but happened again...
I've set 120hz and 60hz manually also, and the problem persists.
Sometimes going to the home screen and back to the game works but I play online, it's annoying.
I think it's inadmissible for an expensive phone like this to have such issues. It's my first Chinese smartphone, and I'm not so happy with it

i find the GPU is set a little to passive. (slow to ramp up). Works well for battery though not so much for gaming. You can use "Game Space" an pre-installed app to make it run full power all the time. Games run great. Though phone gets hot and battery suffers.

IV been trying to use my PS4 controller via Bluetooth to play COD but it's just really bad lag and after touch movement, it's like after you stop moving or ADS it's like it keeps moving for about half a second very unplayable anyone else come across this?

I fixed it turning off the battery saver option at the game settings!
That sh*t was bugging the game performance somehow, instead of helping me lol

Well, I had a S7 edge and the Xperia xz2 before, always playing with the battery saver ON and had no big issues...
Yes the fps was far away from now, but I could play without any problems.
With the Oppo it's impossible to play.

My gaming experience has been less optimal lately, Fortnite is laggy even if I lower the graphics. Maybe the game is not well optimised? I'm on C57. Have you noticed anything like that?
