GTA III lag alot, why?

hi, i just installed GTA III on my arc L15i, lags like hell, searched for fixes and installed one, lag is little bit less but still lags, tried overclocking cpu to 1.4 but still lags.
why?

Try V6 Supercharger and a couple of speed tweaks and see if the issue is still there.
My GTAIII is completely lag free.

GTAIII is litlle lagy..
My gtaiii lags when rain fall..but this is completly game for PC, not so much ported realy for PHONE...
only litlle modified..so be happy to run it anyway

Really? Have you V6 Supercharger installed?
I don't notice any lag except I have to much MODs (since 90% of all PC' MODs works for Android too ) running.

yea supercharghed :/

Version 1.0 is run great but not lag free ,u still can notice some lag.
Version 1.2 is lag like hell.

Sorry guys, then I cant help you too.
Maybe because I've a Arc S, but that shouldn't matter if you overclock to 1,4 GHz.

I just found out it runs good on iPod Touch 4G AND IT HAS AN 800Mhz CPU, there is little little lag in it but still runs good, WWWHHHYYY!!!

May be because iOS is better?

today i was using that ROM but I didn't try the game on it.
I can't try it now, I'm settled with my current ROM.

If they do the game for iOS they can optimize it much betterm as there are much less iOS devices than Android devices.
So it's more optimized for your iTouch than for your Arc.
Best GTA III experience do you get on the iPad 2. Believe me, buttery smooth.
But I don't game much, just bougt it to look at it and play a little sometimes.

GTA 3 is a game made for a dualcore processor...
But on my Arc i don't have a lot of lag, using arconium5.6, doomkernel v15 @ 1.4ghz and supercharger v6...
You can also delete the audio folder, or just delete the radio only
To delete the radio only, go to the audio folder, sort by largest files, and then don't delete the largest, but delete the 11 or 9 ( not sure ) files following than

The game is for Dual Core Phones, But it is also optimized to run on Xperia Play, and Only Xperia Play have Dual Channel Ram running @ 300mhz, that's why Playing games on Xplay is smoother than Arc or any 2011 Xperia out there

Okay, that's right, but every Arc or Arc S could play it quite smooth with some tweaks.
I'm not having any issue with stock GTAIII, and I've already seen a colleague with the SGS2 with more issues than me.
Future phones really need dual core processors, but imo current devices don't need it (I'm not talking about 2012 devices).
PS: I'm only posting my opinion, so don't come with some "you're a idiot" like in this very other thread.

thanks, but i guess the logical explaination is i fail to realised thats its laging
or maybe because i use link2sd for all my apps,kept ROM usage as low as posible..delete the catch often and kill all process before playing

Stock, no cpu changes, runs fine except when rain falls

Does the galaxy nexus lag with latest games??

I have a nexus S and some games like GTA3 and temple run heavily lag. I was thinking of upgrading to galaxy nexus but I am not sure about it's combination of resolution and GPU? I mean in nenamark 2 my nexus S scores the same as galaxy nexus. :S
Ofcourse there is a dual core CPU and more Ram which might actually be the limitation of nexus S as I doubt the SGX540 is limiting me at 800x480. But still want to confirm gaming performance.

Well on temple run I experience no lag whatsoever, same for every other game I play, don't have any experience with gta 3 though.

You are on stock?

GTA3
I was playing GTA3 earlier today and it runs smooth. I had a Galaxy S II and that ran it a little smoother then the Nexus but it almost seemed a little sped up. You will be happy with GTA3 on the Nexus....

Nothing lags. With the CPU handling the HD Decoding the GPU is left to do most of the graphics.
GTA3 works great btw.

All the internal memory is available, that is the beauty of MTP, you don't have different partitions, so everything is installed over the same partition (and there is a symbolic link to /mnt/sdcard in order to make applications that want to save anything to the SDCARD happy, but again, it is the same partition, so all your free space is available no matter what you wanna do).

Temple Run is silky smooth for me on a stock GSM phone with 4.0.1. I experienced lag playing Six Guns though.

I experience a tiny bit of lag on stock 4.0.4
Flashed liquidsmooth and franco kernel though and everything has been super smooth since.

I experienced lag spikes when running gangstar Rio city of saints ... not sure is it software issue though.

Six guns on 4.04 is working smooth for me

I got a *tiny* bit of lag when playing Dead Space...although, I was at the time getting a text message, and email, and a calendar notification within about 1 minute of each other so I would like to think it wasn't really the game causing the lag. Haha. Dead Space runs amazingly well otherwise, though. Very happy with that purchase.

9mm seems to lag to me, and shadowgun is choppy but I guess its just the controls

Oh well samsung why didnt you put in a qHD real RGB display?? Would have looked the same with so much better performance.

Not necessarily better performance.
That said, 720p is the new thing.

yeah i thought the same but, like in most smartphones today, only the numbers matters. pretty sure normal users wouldn't even know that there is such a thing like a pentile matrix

The galaxy S2 had a fairly low resolution compared to it's competitors and yet it managed to be a huge success. But yes you are right, the HD pentile screen was put purely for marketing purposes.
Or better yet the nexus should have had iphone 4S GPU.

I wish samsung supported it's phones better, I would have gone with an S2 without a second thought.
Now the only other option is HTC one S which brings in faster chipset but significantly lower resolution so much better gaming performance. Now if only the pricing is right.

I'm on a Verizon Galaxy nexus running stock 4.0.2 and regarding GTA3 I haven't noticed any lag at all (I'm on the second island with hi-res textures and the mod to enable streetlights etc).
Temple run on the other hand runs horribly. After about 1500m or whenever the red coins start coming I started noticing major lag to the degree of making the game unplayable. It's sad that a second gen iPod touch can play this game fine but the galaxy nexus can't.

[Q] Gaming on Galaxy Gio

Hello people I'm here to ask what do you think of the gaming experience on the Galaxy Gio. Is it ok for a medium budget android phone ? And how does it compare to the galaxy Ace?
-Thanks

On Ace and Gio it it is the same. Without difference. And it's nice phone, but as you can see, it's middle range smaryphone. It means a lot of new games will not work on gio. Go to YT and see vids with gameplays
Na szczęście jest TapaTalk

thanks

For better gaming experience try to use cyanogenmod 9 but not all games work for ics

In stock ROM lot of games will stutter, ex: Angry Birds, Cut The Rope, Where's My Water, PES 2011, etc) But if you install the custom ROM, those games wont stutter anymore... But just dont ask for HD Games, it will have a lot of lag
But with the price given the Gio is awesome!

Ace and Gio are almost the same. Well, Ace has bigger screen and better camera but it doesn't matter due to gaming. You must be aware that new HD games does not support armv6. But Russians still try to port them so who knows? Gio is a powerfull phone and games work fine.

[Q] Lag and Game Support

Hi Guys,
I am planning to buy this phone in the coming months.
Couple of questions:
1. Is there any lag that you have experienced after installing a lot of apps because of the limited 512MB RAM? And my friend bought this device but it shows a total of only 384MB RAM, why is that?
2. How is the game performance of the Adreno 205 on this device. Does it support most of the games with good performance?
Asking these questions because i come from using Samsung Galaxy 3 (no GPU and 256MB RAM) and these were the two main problem areas for me. Do not want to repeat the same .

If I Remeber Correctly it has the same CPU\GPU as the Desire S\HD and they play the games pretty well. and regardless of the phone you WILL get lag when tons of crap is installed even if it's the ONE X or the S3. And it shows 384mb of ram because the rest is allocated to Android System. hope this has helped you

games in the category of shadowgun runs fine
nova3 and higher doesnt works
and for the ram issue u alrdy have got an answer
go for the phone i garantee ul nt repent

Games are running fine on this tiny phone . Well, not those beasts games that needs 1gb ram or Nvidia gpu's (if any) but the decent and good games are played well on One V. Buy the phone if you don't have other option because it is a fine one!

Thanks for your input .
Yup i am fully aware how Android runs apps. It's just that my current device had 130MB free storage on an average and all that gets used up with all the important apps. Even with those many apps the phone used to lag (it was OC'd to 1Ghz plus using the V6 supercharger mod). With a better phone i expect to be able to install a few more apps that i had to compromise on earlier and a few games. I was just making sure that my new phone doesn't frustrate me like my last one (it was the best mid-ranger of its time).

Thanks, will check them out (although I was not aware of these games before). My question though was more on the lines of compatibility. Because currently 90% of the games I browse show that they are incompatible with my device . I know the GPU is only a modest one and wont be able to run those FPS genre games very well. But how about those graphics heavy puzzle and arcade games (like Temple Run, World of Goo and Jelly Defense).

Thanks, I was actually thinking of Galaxy Ace 2. It has a much more impressive piece of hardware. But it does not have ICS out of the box, and Samsung are pretty bad with updates (don't wanna flash a ROM port the first day I buy the phone ). Plus the plastic body has no comparison to the sleek unibody design of the One V, really awesome to hold . Sense 4 is also a convincing argument towards One V.

temple run world of goo runs absolutely without any hitch
as i said bfre it nly doesnt suport high quailty 3d games
evrythng else is just finee buy this phone and join our one v group

i just looked at the specs of the ACE 2, and to be fair those are not bad specs...

Surprising to hear that since the Ace2 has a Mali-400 GPU, which is in my opinion gives much better performance than the Adreno 205. It might be asking too much but could you compare notes with your friend on performance and overall usability of the two phones?

getting the arco s soon. what is the gaming capabilities of this phone

Hi all, I just placed an order for the xperia arco s. Pls I would like to know the gaming performance and lag unresponsiveness of this phone.
Since I previously owned an LG optimus black which was my very first android mobile and its lagging and lack of development forced me to trade it off
Thanks as u drop ur replies.

the xperia 2012 line has great graphics...so great in fact that some companies have not built games to support the phones need T_T
(gameloft,EA)

i own xperia s(same with xperia acro s,but not water-dust-whatever proof) so
this phone is exellent when it comes to games...what makes it so good?
dualcore snapgadron s3 clocked to 1.5 ghz...ok maybe not the fastest in market but gets the job done and really good imho..you wont have any problem with any game...
1gb of ram
This super screen.....4.3 inch of beauty (correction~SUPER BEAUTIFULL HD SCREEN~)
Games ive tested:
dead space-no lag at all
dead trigger- same
dead on arrival-same
modern combat 3 -no lags
modern combat 4(tested it with jelly bean rom)- good but not the smoothest experience... but i think thats because of the game released just now and not because of the phone
Also when the official jb come out the phone will fly at games(my opinion cause with unofficial jb rom it has better performance
