[XS]GTA Vice City - freezes (must do hard reset) - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

I've just installed GTA Vice City on my Xperia S and I was excited about getting to play it at last.
The bad thing is, after about 30 seconds of gameplay the game totally crashes and the only way to cut out of the game is to do a hard reset (hold power button + volume up)
I'm just wondering if anyone else has got this game on their device and came across the same problem?
And if so, have you been able to fix it?
My XS is completely stock and unrooted running the latest ICS update.
Thanks in advance if anyone could shed some light on this issue

Same here. But also the game feels a bit laggy.

It actually felt pretty good for the time it would let me use it. It's just the total crash which means I can't do anything with it.

Same here!

Sorry guys for OT, but how did you get this game? IT doesn't show on Google play

It doesnt show on play store because rockstar have removed it due to the issue of it freezing or as they call it 'technical difficulties' it should be fixed soon though. Fingers xed

I heard of a bug in the game that Rockstar will solve in their next update... For source, simply google 'vice city android'
P.S. GTA III works fine for me

WAIT A DAMN SECOND. KIDCARTER93, DIDN'T YOU SAID YOU HAVE SOLD YOUR XPERIA S? You god damn bastard.

Same here with my Xperia Acro S rooted stock...
It was smooth and good at first, but then crashes...
will wait for fix from Rockstar

Same thing here. I'm from a different phone Galaxy S Blaze 4G ( i googled the issue and came across here) It's REALLY smooth at first but then it freezes. Like, the visuals.. cause i can still here the sounds, and im driving and running people over, then i hear the cops.. it just freezes.. BTW im on CM10.
Oh and i dont have to hard reset.. just exit the game, if you're wondering.

I can run around the city but I can't drive cars it freezes as soon as I press the gas but over all this game is way better than GTA 3

I'm guessing this game will be working fine once it's officially released because a ton of devices are having problems running this game at the moment, even though they're on the approved list of devices to work (like our xperia s).
I've managed to get the game working on my S2 and even some people have problems with it on that phone aswell.
Hopefully Rockstar will be able to get this issue solved soon enough

The game is still quite unstable. It crashes on my phone after selecting a button/menu too. Hope they fix it!

Problems with G sensor and Cam

Hi everyone!
I have problem with G sensor(accelerometer) and camera. After playing games with accelerometer its freezing, Camera not available no screen rotation works. Helps only phone reboot.
Tried kill camera process, then run again, cleared cash, but no effect.
Bought phone in store with Irish Vodafone firmware, made factory phone reset and update trough the SEUS, problem still stayed. Yesterday change firmware to UK Generic, upgraded to V. 2.3.3 - no effect, made again phone factory reset and settings... problem still staid.
I don't know what else to try or better bring phone back to shop for servicing (Warranty I have)
Thanks a lot..
73 views and no any idea?

I´ve give up a solution.
Seach eveywere

Thats what everyone told me to do

does the back of your phone (especially near the camera) gets hot after playing the games?
Off topic, the back of my phone (near to the caméra ) gets hot after using the phone ( lets say, gaming, music etc) for around 10-15 minutes. Is it bad ?

getting hot near to camera is common as processor is located there. if you using app that using lot of proc utility like 3d gaming then your proc will be hot.

I was thinking the same, thanks for the reply
WELL HERE IS THE SOLUTION
CREDIT GOES TO timroth not me
timroth said:
yes i have tried reinstalling so many times.
I have a problem arc by the way
But i found my solution.
My problem was with 3d games. I couldnt play any 3d game more then 5-10 min. My arc gets so so hot and if game doesnt crash, just my rotation sensors and cam stops working till a restart. It was really annoying. I have searched all over internet and found a few users with my getting too hot problem and stoping sensors thing.
Well i beat that sh*t with setCpu overclock app. I set it Performance settings and downclock my cpu to 768 mhz.
No Restarts now!! Finally i can play need for speed without any crash( which im not a fan of this useless game with nice graphics)
And it doesnt get that hot. No sensor or cam crash! I can play samurai game and all other gameloft games too!!! Again no crash and not that hot as before!
Awesome.

Shadowgun on G2

I'm able to play this game with chainfire and the nvidia plug in, and it plays fine, with no graphical errors or lag, but as soon as you kill the first enemy the game crashes. I don't know what this could relate to as i doubt its performance issues as everything up to that point is as smooth as on an Iphone
thanks
Same problem for me too. If anyone can say how they can fix this I would be very happy to hear about it as well. The game looks amazing though
Same for me. Plays smooth as hell right until you kill that first enemy then freeze and crash.

Shadowgun crashing since update

Anyone else having problems with Shadowgun crashing all the time since the OTA update?
Seems like it does it when the phone gets warm, the game freezes and sometimes just comes back to the pause menu but if you keep playing the game actually crashes and closes.
Didn't crash at all for me pre-update.

Really? I played for maybe 10mins before giving up. In that time it froze twice and took me to the pause menu, and the third time the game froze and closed altogether.
Tried again not long after and the same thing happened. Will give it another go in a bit
Try uninstalling it and install again. Some files may have been messed up during the update
Hi guys, what is your battery use when you play Shadowgun for 1 hour??
you need version THD 1.1.2 which fixes One X bugs
Just tried it again and it ran fine without a problem. Very odd

I'm not that daft
its not a bug! its your hand hitting the touch buttons during gameplay which causes the game to pause, all you have to do is flip the phone and play with the buttons on your left side, problem solved! lol
The game only crashes at explosions.

Deja vu. I'm on vacation and there's a lot of kids which have already managed to scratch my screen. Anyway, this same thing happened to me, I though one of the kids got water on it to cause it to happen. I ended up wiping it for like 30 minutes straight with a fiber cloth. Nothing was working I started crying and went to bed. When I woke up....yay.

Hey,
I would say to have a look inside it. I think that it is that digitizer that may be causing the issue. Make sure the connections are connected properly. If the device is still under warranty then get it returned and looked at. That isn't a software issue from what I can tell. There is also a chance that it could be that the screen needs recalibrating? Not sure on that one though
Problem solved....... did nothing......... just left it for a while and it was gone......

[Q] Screen randomly stops responding

It usually only happens when playing a bigger game like Real Racing 3 or Heroes of Order & Chaos. The screen will stop receiving any input for a second or two, then be fine. It's happened since I was unrooted on stock, and on every ROM since after I rooted, so I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with that. Is it a hardware problem or a security thing or what?

Then it isn't random. Your phone is either overheating to the point of forcing a reboot or running out of ram and triggering a reboot.
You mean a screen reboot? Overheating is actually probably causing it. It doesn't reboot the phone or anything, I just am unable to use the screen for a second. I'll try to keep the phone cool now.
