Has anyone tried running Roblox on this? - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone tried to run Roblox on this new Fire? If so, what are your experiences re: quality settings, lag, etc?
I'm...uh...asking for my son.

This would be interesting to know bought this tablet for my brother and I know he loves roblox.

Tablet seems to run games just fine. Even cpu/gpu intensive ones like Gangstar 4 and Dead Trigger.

I don't play Roblox but I just downloaded it and tried a couple games and it seemed to work fine. It got a little bit warm but not hot. I, however, was burned in lava.

That's sarcasm, right???
I'll test it out in a bit. I can't remember my alt's password (Raymonf) so I'll just use my main I guess. Which I also don't remember.
Will edit this in ~30 min.
Well, figuring out my password was easy. Most games seem to run at 40-50fps. It's really hard to find a good game to test because it's not 2009 anymore, so that number is a little off if you're used to playing more expensive games (in terms of performance).

screen becomes unresponsive after gaming?

I believe after playing intensive games or apps. Thoughts?

Um, you believe or it's happened to you? I haven't experienced it personally, and I've been Dead Triggering, Shadowgunning and FFVI'ing all day long.
Its happening to me, and it seems like its doing it after playing games or watching a movie.....etc....right side of screen becomes unresponsive so typing is almost impossible for a period of time

I played nova3 and dead trigger. Dont have that issue you mentioned. Screen still responsive. Maybe your screen has some moisture on it from the gaming. I noticed that with my phone. If screen gets moisture on it, screen acts up or is unresponsive.

Not had the issue with Dead Trigger or Puddle THD but soon as I quit Dark Knight Rises. Super lag fest. Unresponsive as Hell.

I know you weren't talking to me, but since I played Dead Trigger for awhile I will say it ran perfectly. I mean, I was astounded. The only reason I bought it was because they made it free..and I love it. I haven't had a framerate issue with any game yet.

Same as this poster here. Both games play very well. Very impressed with how well my nexus 7 pushes these games. i haven't noticed any lag anywhere. Whether its gaming, web browsing, or swiping through homescreen ui's.
Try a reboot to see if it clears things up. You could possibly have something running in the background causing the lag/slowdown in certain areas.

NeedForSpeed MostWanted works

Hi guys, I got NfsMW working on our HD2's. It's not laggy but the problem is that after about 2 minutes, it just exits. What's the problem? Ram? I think that android turns on it's ****ty apps(for eg. Play store) to "update" them, and then they take too much of ram..
I'd like to see your answers, thanks. Maybe chainfire can solve the problem? Or we should KILL everything with ram manager?
Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm running Aokp jellybean build 3 from xylo on nand.

The new NFS: MW? I highly doubt that works without lag, I've seen the graphics and they're quite heavy for a mobile game. No single core, 404Mb RAM (in Android) phone could run it smoothly. Even Temple Run has a poor framerate. If you mean the old NFS: MW then that runs perfectly for me without lag, and it doesn't close after a while either.

Well, it's not without lag, but it's really playable, I firstly thought that it won't even run. I'll make a short video tommorow if you want. I've found out that I can play it with the ram manager setted to hard gaming.
Yes, it's the new one. HD2 is never going to die.

NFS MW is working on HD2
NFS MW is working on HD2 without any problem! The game is really good. You can watch a short movie from the game, just search on youtube: NFS MW HTC HD2
I play this game on paranoidandroid without overclocking. Only thing you must do is to change build.prop file.
Sorry for my eanglish
I certainly wouldn't say without any problems. The game runs at half the speed it should! Even then, I'm impressed at how smooth it is since it's running on such old hardware.

Do you have a problem like me: You're racing and suddenly the game crashes because of GPU, RAM?
If you don't, how did you fixed it? I tried with that ram manager pro setted to hard gaming but I don't think it's due RAM.
When installed chainfire3d, it crashed my phone so I had to reflash my rom(stupid man forgot to backup current).
Hi there, I got a question! Where I can find the right NFS:MW for the HTC HD2? I got the game but when I try to download the files which he need I got the windows where they saing "The Device is not Compatible"

If you have the softbuttons activated, it won't download because of that.
I'll upload apk to dropbox and send you a pm.
And yes, problem was rom, not the game. We have strong enough gpu and enough ram to run it. I'm playing on paranoid 1.5b without problems.

It's bad it doesn't have those "lightning effects" etc. But i think it would be slower with this turned on.

Devs will probably make some patches with light effects that will work on every device that can run the game(eg. like Dead Trigger..).

I managed to run it smoothly without those effects with normally downloaded data for Desire HD. However, after 2 weeks, the effects for POWERVR devices (better textures, lightning effects etc) activated, so it lagged horribly.

[Q] Xperia Z vs games

Hi,
Iam going to buy Xperia Z. Are the games like GTA VC (on maxed out), Max Payne, etc. run smoothly on this phone? Thanks for answers.
They run okay. Reading a bit on those ports gives me the impression that they all run wacky on high end devices.

I haven't played any of the games on the XZ but when NFS Most Wanted still worked on the XZ I could play it without any problems... beside 1.
When the phone becomes to hot while gaming, the game will become a bit slower, I can't really call it lagg, because everything will keep working, but just be a bit slower. That will happen for like hmmm 30 seconds max? After that the game will become fluid again.

Thermal throttling. The phone gets hot and the chip underclocks itself for the time being hot.

When I play nfs, it becomes really slow at one point for quite some time. The timing is still normal but the graphic looks like it is in slow mo. Sometimes
It lasts for like 30 secs sometimes it lasts throughout the game.

I can confirm that with the latest update the phone runs cooler and smoother. I'm playing NFS Most Wanted since a few weeks and before it was like 70% of the time lagfree, now it is more like 95%. Even after 30 minutes of playing or more. Before, it would start to lag within a minute or so!
Definietly worth to upgrade to .244 firmware!

Laggy and choppy gameplay in Simpsons Tapped Out

I've been experiencing significant issues while running this game, to the point of being unplayable. After a little digging, this is an issue across several Samsung tablets, all using the Exynos 5 Octa. I can confirm this isn't a high DPI issue either, because the game ran just fine on my Note Pro 8.4 with a Snapdragon 800 Processor.
Sigh... they put out a flagship product and put their buggy processor in it. I don't know if this has skewed my perception of the tablet, but I also seem to be noticing unexpected lag in other apps as well-- including the XDA Premium app.
Have you installed Nova Launcher?
Sounds like an isolated I issue. I'm playing SHADOWGUN EADZONE , NBA 2014, Badlands, MC4 and so far I'm getting excellent game play.

Yes, this is with Nova installed. It seems like it's probably a combination of a poorly coded came and some quirk with the SOC.

My guess is the game doesn't know how to deal with an octacore processor.

I'd suggest contacting the developers using examples of working games such as the other user mentioned. Sometimes the devs respond by email especially if an issue can hurt sales. Also a review on Google Play can get attention too but first try the email route.

Exact same issue with my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. EA dug in to a certain extent, but eventually the ticket died. To be honest I was sick and tired of dealing with them by that point. IIRC almost a month had passed.
What a sh*t situation!
yeah they cant check every game and app to see if it runs super smooth. And gaming is not on the top 10 list for this tablet.
Nvidia, Amd, same kind of thing.
That sucks one of the reasons I returned my 2014 note :/ but hey I don't play it anymore I wonder of its a game issue or exynos issue
Beans you shouldn't be playing games...... You should be working on ROMs lol!
Modern Combat 4 sucks on this tab, my kd is suffering badly. I truly hate this tab and pretty sure its going back. Sad thing is I'm sticking with a Tab 2 7 because I think its better. I'm sure that's the kind of customer responses Samsung likes.....
I got the update on the 27th when I initially powered it up but didn't install the update until I became hopeful it would cure the lag.... Wishful thinking. IT WAS MORE BLOAT.

The only labor intensive apps I have tried are Real Racing 3 and GT racing, they seem to run fine for me on the 8.4"
Maybe I'll give MC4 a shot to see what my experience is.
I've been having the same lag issue in Simpson's Tapped Out on my Tab S, Galaxy S4, and Nexus 7 2012. All 3 different SoC's, but same lag issue. I'm going to go out on a limb and say its a game issue. Zen Pinball plays beautifully, as does NFS Shift, PvZ 2 and everything else I've thrown at the Tab S.
I have the same problem on my 8.4 tab s.
The game runs smoothly on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone and Asus Transformer TF101 tablet.
I opened the case 14146643 with EA. Let's see what they responds...

Does Simpson tapped out lag from the start? I just tried it out and set up a new game. Played it for about 30 mins and it didn't lag or get choppy once.

Unbelievably laggy when playing games

Can't believe how bad the performance is when playing games, even ones that aren't as graphically intensive like Galaxy of Heroes. I had the S8+ for 5 months and never had issues with performance. Also, I've tried running the phone in different performance modes including "Game Mode" and it doesn't make a difference.
I don't know, I just tried NFS right now and I didn't have any problems. At ALL.

You got something going on because this phone handles literally everything I throw at it without even the slightest stutter. Best gaming experience I've had on a phone to date.

My Note 8 has been chewing up and spitting out everything I've thrown at it. No lag or stutter and doesn't even get warm. At max resolution and "optimized mode"
I too am having lag on galaxy of heroes, I haven't tried other games but I was surprised.
Wonder if it's just this game? The rest of the phone performance is second to none I'm very impressed. I am worried though because I play GoH quite a bit and will become annoyed almost certainly
Wonder if it's specific to this game for now. Maybe a software patch will fix?

When I compare pokemon go to a v20 and a pixel so. The game lags really bad and it's well documented that the game lags. Them when I play out on my note 8. There is no lag just smooth transition from the going I to battle or gyms or poke stops. I tried that star wars game and had no lag and even recorded a video. Ado they can call me what ever they want. I can back up my claim

Sure did.
I had issues with lag and stuttering and other oddities. Factory reset and it is smooth.
My lag is actually worse when I am playing galaxy of heroes after factory reset. I haven't played other games so I'm not sure if this is still isolated to GoH but I did run Epic citadel benchmark and it was really smooth, not a single hitch. I think this is specific to the game.
Interestingly, I did use game mode to turn on battery saver performance and improved my lag. Not sure what that is all about.

I'm not the one who said that but to be fair, the discussion was about scrolling, not game play. This phone may handle games better but the scrolling smoothness is not perfect. On performance mode, I'd say it's damned close to perfect. Still a hiccup there or there but not many. Without performance mode, it was far too frequent for my liking.
