Heavy 2d lag on Parallel Kingdom - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seems like this a quite common problem with the new KitKat version, but I cant play 2d games on my phone without heavy graphic lag, worst is parallel kingdom wich is a game that im crazy addicted to. There is some solutions on the internet regarding this problem (hw overlay thing and the force gpu render on 2d graphic in dev settings) but nothing works.
Ive also written to the dev team behind the game but they claim that the problem is solved and they dont want to provide me with an answer.
Is there anyway I can fix this problem?
I have a Moto G Google Play edition, runs great on every 3d intense game.

Do you mean parallel kingdom AOT? Well i just installed it on my moto g 16 gb retail edition with the latest kitkat from germany and the games runs OK, no visible lags for me, are you rooted or did you unlock your bootloader? if yes, maybe flashing a retail stock rom or a custom rom would help you, maybe its the google play edition rom thats fault

PK has always been slow on android devices.... while on iOS it is buttery smooth. I have contacted the developers about implementing 2D acceleration on Android and posting2 versions of the game on Google Play - one version for new android devices and another one for older devices. They denied it at the time, in 2013.
I have played it on iPad retina, iPhone 4S and it is WAY faster than on Galaxy S4, LG G2, Galaxy Tab Pro, you name it!
Mind you, root police, that the game has been tested on android devices with stock ROMs, unrooted, rooted, and with CM or other modded ROMs. At all times the game has presented a much inferior performance, compared to that on iOS devices.
If anyone knows of a fix for this, please let me know!!! Or send emails to the developers, maybe they will fix it!!

WazHack , new 2d rogue like!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wazhack.WazHack
Okay so the game is not free but you can try it for the first 300meters (the objetive is to go DOWN.
It is NOT Xperia play optimized , but since it runs on Unity , the dpad works for movement. Nothing else works. We might get this optimized if we push hard enough , i guess.
And last , the game looks very promising but unfortunately , it runs awful. At least on my phone im getting constant "ram lags" , FPS is stable at 25-40 but the constant pauses make it very annoying.
The game doesnt need any quick reactions (since enemies only move when you move) but it is definitely annoying , im going to wait for a patch , if it ever comes.
You can try the game on your PC here http://www.wazhack.com/play
Never had played a roguelike game before. Interesting. :good:
WTF? It's not compatible with my Xperia Play. Anyone managed to run it?
Sure it runs fine on my phone annoying lag. Google says it's a R800i (its not)

I am sorry to derail this thread a bit, but I am quite in a shock. Since I've bought my latest Xperia Play I am observing a worrying trend, many new games seem to be incompatible with my device. At least that's what Google Play Store says.
WazHack, Mutant Roadkill by Glu, and the latest Glu game Gears & Guts. I have a new R800i, unrooted. What's going on? Are these games really THAT advanced that my Xperia Play cannot handle them? Or is this a regional thing (some games working only for the US market)? Would appreciate any advice, thanks.
There are many versions of the xperia play, the developers need to enable them individually.
My R800i however can download it from the store just fine, unless they took it out.
Edit :yup they took it out, just side load the app, even stronger hardware sometimes gets forgotten among aaaall the android devices

I can at least explain why I took Xperia support off WazHack. Shortly after release I got an angry 1-star rating from an Xperia user saying how terrible it was on their device. As an Indie developer (like most app developers), I don't have a huge suite of test devices. So my assumption was that it was somehow not compatible with the Xperia Play. By default, Google Play makes an app compatible with any device that meets the version requirement (and screen, and a few others). Devices that would otherwise be compatible can then be specifically excluded. I did that as soon as I saw the review.
After a few days, I managed to talk to a player on the WazHack IRC channel who had an Xperia, and I sent him the APK directly. He said it wasn't perfect but well and truly playable. (by this time I had also added many performance improvements too).
Two things he did point out though, and these may well be the specific answer to your question:
Xperia players are more likely to be demanding of games - its a key purpose for there device
The controller-based interaction gives a different feel than than touch-to-move: the player can feel a lag or jerk much more.directly
So I hope that helps expain somewhat.
Just remember that app developers probably don't have your device, and the more "special" it is, the harder it is to support, but that you can help by talking with the devs.
Anyway, it's a commercial game, which as I understand is verboten here, so I'll slink back into the shadows from whence I came.
It's true, xp owners are very demanding.

I don't know why, but at least on my device, mutant roadkill runs flawlessly. Like zero lag, smooth frame rate.
Why not officially support it?

[Q] Bad FPS in Asphalt 6 ?

Asphalt 6 version 1.3.3 lags pretty badly, especially the Nassau map is rendered at such low FPS it's really unplayable. Also I'm pretty sure in GB this particular game played at better framerates.
Anyone else having the same issue ? Any suggestions ? Should I revert back to my local 2.3.4 firmware ?
ROM : ZSPLD
Kernel : ardadat 4.2b6

even same thing with Asphalt 7 but this is not the problem with game, its ICS problem change your CPU Governor to Performance and try it should be better........
I think this is a brewing issue and a critical one too considering the fact that this beast can handle games so very well and that too at excellent frame-rates. A software issue like this can easily be dealt with if all the dev's start focusing their efforts in this direction for a short while. Meanwhile, I'll try and drop a few lines to the Samsung support regarding this issue. Lets see if they are ready to release a patch.:fingers-crossed:

[Q] Games lag on htc desire s?

Iam searching for a good stable htc desire s rom. That can play heavy games like, Gangster Rio, Nova 3, Asphalt 7, Gta 3. As smooth as possible!
I have tried many roms but they r all bad in heavy games. (Sometimes Crash, Freeze)
and the xperia play has exactly the same spec. as my htc desire s. And it doesn't lagg? How is this possible?

By the way i got know: ICE DS v.6.0 Rom
Android Version: 4.0.4
Sense: 3.6
Kernel: 3.0.46-Ck1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567715
And i tried today gangster rio. and it worked way smoother than the other roms. but there is still a bit of irritation lag here and there?
i even overclocked it to 1,5 ghz. the fps raised but. however it's still laggs.
Can someone please help me or give me some advice to run games smooth on a good rom!
By the way sorry for Pretty bad english!
I couldn't realy help you, but i can say I'm playing Asphalt 7 and Temple Run on my DS. I'm uing the sam ROM like you and there are no laggs, crashes or freezes. In case of the other games I could not say anything.
Did you flash FULL_WIPE_DS befor installing ICE_DS? Maybe there is gone some performance?
AOSP ROMs will be better for this case.
Not sure how they will run on JB ROMs, but I had great performance on CM7 a long time ago. Not lag-free, DS hardware isn't capable enough, but manageable.

yes!! same here,, i bought nfs most wanted today,, played one race ,, it was laggy, went on youtube , watched a video of xperia play running the same game with few lags and running like a boss!! then i thought it must be my rom or something,, went again on youtube , watched a video of desire hd running the same game ,, and it was also lagging ,just as mine,, its kinda weird , play have the same specs as compared to our desire s, and 256 mb less ram , still it runs the game smoother,,,,,,,,,

^^^ What he said ^^^ I don't play games on my phone much, but never had a problem either on pure CM7 or on Reaper. The latest games are going to struggle as devs are optimising them for quad-core devices, but that's to be expected.

[Question] ZTE U950 stuttering, is ICS this bad?

Hi!
I own a ZTE U950 and I updated to the latest FW, but no matter what game I play, it has small stutterings every 3-4 sec. I tried a lot of games, even Dead Space that should run like butter, but even that has stuttering every 3-4 sec. The FPS is on the roof, but for reasons unknown it still noticeably stutter every 3-4 sec.
I tried everything...installing previous rom, closing all background applications, disabling auto-rotate, disabling wifi, changing powersave settings, but nothing worked.
It is really annoying that I can not get rid of this micro stuttering. Game running like butter, but picture stops for micro of a second every 3-4 sec.
What is the problem? Is it just that ICS is trash? A phone with Tegra 3 quadcore should not have stutterings like these...I get ~13200 points in Antutu. The ICS version is 4.0.4.
Oo...I'm considering this phone can give some real shot of the u950 n some screenshot to me..how bout battery life?

Not counting the problem I have, this phone is awesome, well worth the price.
However there is 1 more big problem: no "good" custom roms yet...there are some Chinese custom roms, but they don't really improve performance (I tried at least 6). With a good custom rom and a "gaming kernel" (like the One X has that unlocks the CPU and GPU to it's max potential) this phone would be a must buy.

Here is a review, with test results, screenshots and pictures: ZTE U950 review
Nobody has any idea about my problem ?
op...can share some image shot by the 5mp?
Considering to get one of this.
People reported that it will restart by itself
so it's true?
Got it today ,you must root it and update the rom in order to get rid of some bloatware.secondly there are chinese roms but based on the original so no real tweaking .if a cyanogen was running in this phone was going to be perfect but as i searched on chinese forum most have the basic knoweledge nothing more to build a kernel with mods or aosp .the phone is acceptable for daily usage for its price range.
as for the stutterring on random restart on games consider using the app released for htc one x to minimalise game settings so they can run perfect.i must also remind that the games were not designed for this resolution as most tegra 3 devices have better resolution.

You need to update the FW to B22 to fix the restart issue.

anyone already changed recovery language to english ? Or localized Rom file without chinese programms?
no unfortunate no dev has this device yet ,hope at least for a stable recovery and rom
Allright people, time to get this baby, a shop has it on sale for $170 (with free world wide shipping): ZTE U950 $170 Can't beat a price like that for a Tegra 3 device. Hope a dev will pick it up, this thing really needs some home made roms.
lower price
There is another choice for only 155$ at this exact site. :good:

Nova 3 Freedom Edition, Heavy Lag :Solution Required

Hey Geeks,
Recently my friend purchased this phone but is facing ridiculous lag while trying to play "Nova 3", truely speaking this game is not playable at all. Even the game videos that come in between stages tend to lag. While i saw couple of gaming review videos where Nova 3 Runs smoothly on this phone except for one user who was also facing heavy lags. My friend got this phone couple days back and there is no software update avaialble for the phone as of now. Spec wise, phone should be able to run this game flawlessly as even xiaomi phones with meditek processor clocked lower are able to run this game smoothly.
I was wondering if anyone could suggest some solution for that.
please clarify if Problem is with the handset itself or some software update screwed it or some tweaking is required to rage CPU to be able to handle this game smoothly.
FYI:Its a 16GB internal, 2GB Ram Version
Regards
Can I have some reply please

Play it on your 1+1?
There's no custom kernels out for oc support so no way to boost performance. I would clear recents and before playing or maybe a full restart to clear out your ram. Re-install app?
Star Wars uprising runs pretty good on my moto g3... few hiccups but overall pretty good.
I don't think overlooking is required at all coz Cpu seems capable enough as I already mentioned that lower spec xiaomi phone can run this game without lag ?
