Help with GTA III

Hey. I got grand 3 for incredible and it is really laggy and I have chainfire and all and still lag. Can someone please help me.

Well, it runs like crap on my Incredible too. Is is suppose to be able to run it?

It's not made to run on the Incredible you need a more powerful cpu/gpu to play it properly like a Tegra 2 device.

Is there a app I can do that?
from a Droid incredible. back from Hell.

The Incredible has the Adreno 200. It will not play GTA III at any sort of a decent frame-rate. I have it on my iPod touch (64GB 4th gen) and my iPad (64GB OG), and it still lags horribly, and crashes very often due to running out of RAM. Funny to think about, considering it originally ran on a sub 300 MHz cpu with 32MB of RAM. Still runs great on my PS2 , and can be had for $5 at Gamestop.
However you can play 2D and lower end 3D games quite well. Installed Zombieville USA last night, runs just like it does on my iPod.

How do I lower to 2D.

I don't think you can lower GTA 3 to 2d.
Im pretty sure hes just suggesting you play a 2d game because it'll run much smoother.

The game runs fine on my phone. Kang'd cm7.
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-

I tried it on CM7.1 and it was pretty unplayable, not to mention it doesn't even show up in the market anymore ;p.

I got cynogen 7 and I got a app called GTA III setting and its wonderful.

games lag

Hi I am kind of dissapointed with the gaming performance, almost all games have frame lag shadowgun runs really choppy from start to finish, also samurai 2 is fairly laggy at some parts, and some low end apps that have reflections lag really bad,.. does any else experience this ? I'm on 4.0.2, also my t.prime doesn't run as smooth as it should, I'll try it on my Xperia s and see how it does.. it may be the game or just Ics....

The GPU in the GNex isn't the best. It's an overclocked version of the one found in the GT-i9000 Galaxy S.
That still doesn't make it a bad phone.

+1. Shadowgun, Dead Space, Spectral Souls run perfect. Never had an issue you're describing.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

No problems here. The gpu may be old but that doesn't make it bad.
Try 4.0.4

I've played Shadowgun and Dead Space just fine. All other casual games run great too.

MOST games runs smoother on my Tmobile Galaxy S2, compared to my Galaxy Nexus. What really bothers me is when something pops up on screen (like changing the volume) while gaming, it's really laggy. Some say it's ICS, some say it's the GPU, and some says because of the higher resolution of the Nexus.
Try playing a game like Mega Jump (free on play google), and while playing, adjust the volume. Why does it lag so much?

Cause toast notifications just aren't tweaked right. Maybe not run thru the gpu or something.

weird my epic didn't lag when swiping pages and the toast notification was on. And it has the same gpu. Same rom too cm9.

Got nothing like this all buttery smooth just reinstalled dungeon Hunter 3, front line comando and N. O. V. A 2 all full settings and notifications.. ALL smooth

All smooth here, like every other issue I read about it's probably affecting like .1 percent of users.

I know the gpu isn't something groundbreaking, but like shadow gun doesn't run as smooth as dead space not by a long shot , and samurai 2 lags here and there

Have you tried modifing GPU clock? Franco kernel should be a good choice.

I have none of the issues you are reporting. In fact, it looks like a lot of other GN users also DON'T have that problem. I have played Dead Space, ShadowGun, BackStab, and others and they play without lag. I don't like lag and slowdown. I would not even bother playing them if there like this. ShadowGun for instance, I would not have played it as long as I have. Or got as far as I did if it was bad or lagged. Not sure why we all can play these games fine and you can't.

True this. It's still a good GPU that plays all games I've tried beautifully. Even GTA III plays buttery smooth.
If one game doesn't play smooth for any of you, you can always try Chainfire3D.

I'm all stock.. so none of you experience any kind of stutter ?....
Sent from my Samsung GNexus <3

Firmware 4.0.4 is faster when it comes to 3D. Gaming performance is actually excellent.

How is GFX performance in JB?

Im asking since i just got my Nexus about a week ago and immediatly flashed JB stock ROM. My gripe with the Nexus before JB was the weak-ish GPU it had which made me steer away from it until JB announcement just made me get it no questions. Now im testing ShadowGun and it plays perfectly smooth and Quadrant 2D/3D benchmarks always are at or near 60fps. Since i did not have a Nexus in the ICS days, are GFX/Games better in JB or was performance the same? Because i underestimated the GPU before but its doing a great job so far in my tests... note to self: Just try the damn thing and forget the specs on paper *lesson learned

about quadrant and the 59fps.. our devices are capped at 59fps. plus, our screen resolution is larger than most other devices, more pixels to push. so, at 59fps, it still looks great, on ics and jellybean. in jellybean we did gain a few more fps, but not in quadrant. if you want, go to the the main settings, developer settings, enable force gpu rendering. things will look a bit better, in the ui especially and in apps that can use gpu rendering. the "weak" gpu is just a myth that the media has scared us with.

I'm in ICS 4.0.4 and I feel sometimes Shadowgun doen't play all that smooth... don't know if it gets better in JB... but it's not 60fps... no way...

Games for S3

What games are working properly on s3? other games are having graphic problems.

If you are into first person shooters, Dead Trigger by Madfinger games is pretty sick. Gears & Guts by Glu Mobile is working. I have a bunch other games but the 2 listed above have a big file size and are pretty graphically intense. Smooth gameplay w/o any problems. I am also running Blazer 1.7 w/ Apex Launcher.

Have you tried amazing spiderman or Samurai II: Vengeance, having a graphics issues please let me know what could be a problem. I am using stock rom and the phone is not rooted.

Dead Trigger is insanely sick. It has amazing lighting visuals and is only about 150MB of storage. Been playing it non-stop. I also am a big fan of Asphalt games, however, the new 1$ asphalt game runs HORRIBLE on the S3. I am also hearing it runs horrible on other top end devices. The game has a major framerate issue.

sounds good, but i'd like to know why a game wants access to my phone calls/history..
i normally don't bother with free games or apps as their either invested with ads or want access to private data.

I found this cool parkour type addictive game, I enjoy it really much, but... is it just my phone or it lags? I'm running the latest version of 'Custom stock rom'. Can somebody try it?

I have the mini note 2 rom too, but sometimes it slows down, really slows down a lot. Like it's lagging, like the time is slow.

yeh i have "lags" as well in certain parts, but i believe its a feature , slowmotion

i had the same thing "Lag" sometimes, and its not a feature,
(You can actually buy this gadget that slows down time)
I played this on my S2 and experienced lags, on my Nexus 7, it runs fast and good...

Same here
Its the same on my S2 I think its the game no lags its in the part of the game its has to slow down but its stupid it makes the game to look like it lags

It's so annoying, you can't enjoy the game to the max with the 'lags' in it.

I've recently started playing this game and been annoyed by how it lags. I'm on a level where there's my guy, a friend and the bad guy and it lags ALL the time. Has anyone found a workaround for this?

Awesome Game
I really like the concept, as for lags it get gets harder on new levels

With the new update just change graphic sitting for less lag.

I have Neat Rom 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and i have lags also... the game graphics aren't anything so special that justifies this.... i believe that the game wasn't well programmed...

Are you having similar problems with other games? If no, then you're probably right. :cyclops:
If the lag is present for other games, it is possible that it's ROM or kernel related (governor, mali driver and etc).

Nop, Only this game. I have other game that doesn't feel so smooth, but it's justified, because it has heavy graphics: Real Racing 3. And even that game i can play it well.
Besides that, i can run all other games with no problem at all in my GS2. I can play NFS Most Wanted without problems, for example.
