Chainfire i want to make a simple comment. Sir you are awesome!~

I just bought the pro version because great developers needs great support. Ty one more time.

Reckless racing On LG 2x still does not work even tho the package is SGS package with SGS video card plugin
[Android Software Development] :
tested on Desire HD:

Samurai 2 (works)

Backbreaker THD (works but the player move like toys)

Monster Madness (doesnt work)

Bang Bang Racing (doesnt work)

Riptide GP (works but color of the racer is not correct)

Hope chainfire will solve those problems#

i also wanted so much to play Bang Bang Racing and Monster Madness.

Unfortunately they wont work.

Will see how the support is going on then i will buy it.
[Android Software Development] shaolin95:
According to the dev Bang Bang racing uses Nvidia Physx stuff so I doubt this is going to make it work.

Just delete old downloaded game data and let the apk download new data... you will see that this will solve graphical glitches. Im at lvl 5 now with no issue so far.
[Android Software Development] a user:
so did i. and yes the graphical issues are solved but when i kill one enemy the game hangs, and then reboots my phone.

it seems to be related to something that happens upon the death of an enemy, maybe blood animation or something like this.

edit: this is on a desire hd.
[Android Software Development] NZtechfreak:
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, or if it has already been covered, but thought I would post about here in case:

I tried to get Shadowgun on my S2 yesterday and found Chainfire 3D wasn't working at all - couldn't Fix Market Settings, couldn't play games that had previously worked, just complete no go.

I recently flashed to CheckROM and thought it might have been something to do with that, and after a bit of fruitless troubleshooting worked out that the latest Superuser build (bundled with the ROM) doesn't seem to like CF3D.

You just need to flash back an older build in recovery, and then update the SU binaries and it will work again. It took a few flashes to find a working one, but this is the one I used.

If you need more detailed information on how to fix it try my guide here.
[Android Software Development] aznmode:
Nice write up. I wasn't aware you can play Gameloft games not built for your phone with chainfire. Does this still apply if you have qHD (960x540) display? There are some RPG games I would like to play that is available on other devices that are standard 800x480.

[Android Software Development] tolis626:
Hey guys,what's up? :)

I have a question for those who have ShadowGun running on a Galaxy S2.

So,seeing as there wasn't any demo version of some sort,I downloaded a...let's just say free version(Not exactly legal) to see if I like it,as I'm thinking of buying it.It plays ok and the game is super awesome,especially the graphics.However,when I complete the first level(Which is really short btw),it gives me a screen saying "Level Completed,tap to continue".After I tap the screen it shows that it's loading and then I'm back to my home screen.Now,it most probably is because it's not original,but does the version that's downloaded from market go on properly?If yes,I'm buying it. :D

PS:I won't accept comments such as "You should have bought it",as I have already had problems with Google's 15 minutes refund policy more than once.I'm not a thief,so to speak,nor a cheapy(I wouldn't have bought a 500 euro phone if I was,right?),but throwing money away for something that doesn't work is plain stupid,innit? ;)
[Android Software Development] neophyte1983:
How can i complete remove it with plugins does uninstall in the program is enough? Please help
[Android Software Development] Freddan80:
When the developers updated Riptide for multiple devices they somehow broke the functionality of Chainfire for that game it can no longer load any levels for me even with the updated shader.

Can someone with sgs2 try Riptide?
[Android Software Development] Freddan80:
Hello again. I just bought Shadowgun and tried to run it without Chainfire and the game noticed that I don't have a tegra device and deinstalled itself and now I can't download it again. I tried to remove data for market but it still didn't work. Is there a way to download the game again?
[Android Software Development] Azerty16:
Hey everyone, i need some help, i just bought pro version but i can't use MSAA and depth buffer size on my i9000, i install EGL driver but this option in Per App Setting are grayed out so i can't enable, anyone can help me?
[Android Software Development] :
As I understand from chainfire's twitter he is on a vacation I presume, do you think there will be any support for battlefield 2 when he is back i have tried with all 3 plugins and the closest i get is qualcomm but still a lot of rainbow textures. any ideas???

yes i no its a xperia gay game

just wondering thats all.
[Android Software Development] theomni:
Hey guys. I searched around for a bit, but was unable to find an answer.

I have an unrooted HTC Flyer, and I don't wish to root it anytime soon. Will CF3d work on an unrooted device?
[Android Software Development] Gromlakh:
From the Market description of the program.

Clearly you didn't search too hard.
[Android Software Development] kuhne:
I also have the galaxy s2 and I am having exactly the same problem but I bought the game, so thats not the issue. please let me know if you find a fix
[Android Software Development] :
I just played level one and it crashed i google it and i had to reduce texture quality and texture size to get past the tap to continue crash at the end of the level guys
[Android Software Development] boshot:
Use the settings which posted a few pages ago and it runs fine on the S2.

For me it runs very well with these..and i'm in level 5 or 6 now.

With the updated version (1.0.2), which it's available through market, you'll have graphic bugs.

So don't use or update to it!

Man, finished the whole shadowgun! Body is really sored. Final boss is a tough nut to crack...
[Android Software Development] ChilliBo:
got a question...

im running MiUI 1.10.28 on my sgs2...

using chainfire 3.3 pro

and trying to play Riptide GP 1.2

ive set NVIDIA Plugin, and Hide CF3D ID in Per-App settings...

the game starts, i can choose GP and Difficult lvl, pick track and Craft...

after i choose any craft, loading screen apears.. then the game closes....

dunno what to do...

im running on 100 ~ 1600 mhz but tried stock mhz too (200~1200) ...

can someone help me out please??

Edit: the same is on another rom (non MiUI)
[Android Software Development] boshot:
Riptide in its newest config is no longer running with chainfire3D.

You have to use an older version, e.g from a titanium backup you made..

I'm using version 1.02 and it runs fine.
[Android Software Development] a user:
did any of the dhd users tried not using the EGL driver but the normal one?

i am trying now but have to wait because shadowgun is downloading updated data files. so if it works now i don't know if it is due to the updated data files or the normal chainfire driver.

will report back though if it is now working.

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

ok. with the normal driver and the updated game data files this time it didn't rebooted but the game hangs. music continues to play though but no reaction.

tried to kill the app by long pressing back button (miui feature) and now phone froze. pulling the battery now.
[Android Software Development] Ycb04:
No it has to have root
[Android Software Development] Pfeffernuss:
When you delete the game data and upgrade to 1.02 the game will redownload the whole shebang. After that version 1.02 runs without any graphics bugs... :D

I hear you Desire HD user, i am one toooooooooooooooo...:D

same issue as a user. v 1.02.

ive tried deleting the file and redownloaded them but no luck.

well, guess we have to wait for chainfire to come back from holiday.
[Android Software Development] bluedragon38:
Hello.

Sorry but i have a question.. I have galaxy on fire 2 THD and i want to know why my game is not like screenshoot they gave in the market game page.. i use chainfirepro paid version (thanks chainfire :) )and the nvidia plugin.. i try MSAA but i cant use it.. its lock..

Do you have any solution ? :(
[Android Software Development] a user:
no one can help you if you don't tell us what device you are using, what you actually expect it to look like and what exactly you are missing.
[Android Software Development] bluedragon38:
Sorry i forget to say it.. ( i rewrite my previous message...)

Its on sgs2.on market screen the game is really biutifull.. but i think its TAB screenshoot??
[Android Software Development] a user:
yes, at least some of the screenshots are from tablet as one can see the honeycomb taskbar at the bottom.

but the ingame graphics should look the same. there is no msaa used on the screen shots btw.

i played that game myself and it look like ths. you may show us a screenshot so that we know what you mean by not looking as good as one the screenies?
[Android Software Development] bluedragon38:
It's impossible for me to take any screenshot :/ it don't works ! wait i will find a solution.

but in the game , there is many ALIASING ! thats why , i want to know how activate MSAA..
[Android Software Development] a user:
the screenshots also do not have msaa activated.

1. i remember that even though i could activate the msaa control in chainfire3d it had no effect in this game. but ouy can try maybe you have more luck

2. if the msaa control setting is greyed out for you in the chainfire settings then you have only installed the normal driver and not the beta EGL driver. uninstall the driver again, chose egl and install it again.

3. i am not sure if you can enable msaa in the general settings. i know it can be set in the per-app settings for which you need the pro version.
[Android Software Development] a user:
htctouchelfin found a possible solution for us DHD users for running ShadowGun without crash/reboots:

install this shaders:

http://www.multiupload.com/AKPTZRBHFZ

activate "disable map buffer emulation"

activate "reduce texture sizes"

the shaders are not from him, but i still don't know from where. when i know i will report back.
[Android Software Development] :
ok this may sound stupid

whats the point in the per app defaults, if i set dead space upto run through qualcomm, and i have shadowgun to run through nvidia plugins, they still wont play unless i have the default plugin set to which ever game i wanna play, am i missing something or expecting to much i thought that per-app was so i dont have to go and change the settings to play every game, i have 3.3 3D Pro, the only thing i seemed to have sorted is the colours of the cars in ashpalt 6 lol
[Android Software Development] a user:
exactly this. and they should both work. you should keep the global setting for used pluging to "none".

for me it works
[Android Software Development] :
ok thank you so im not being daft and i just have a problem some were, thanks for clearing that up.
[Android Software Development] mrgodai:
I tried the shaders and they dont work. Still missing enemies and textures with v1.02, with data downloaded from server.

After that I reverted to v1.0 and manually installed Data files for v1.0 and everything works perfectly.

This is DesireHD.
[Android Software Development] a user:
the shaders are not about missing enemies. they are for the crash. the missing enemies are solved if you uninstall the game, install it again to force redownloading of the data and chose reduce texture size and disable mapbuffer emulation. you can use the newest game version.
[Android Software Development] feanor91:
Is someone knows why the game data couldn't be downloaded? I tried even to buy the game but download crash always on third file. I'm on HTC Sensation whith ChainFire 3D and NVIDIA plugin.
[Android Software Development] a user:
maybe out of space?

if not then unintall the game and reinstall it.
[Android Software Development] feanor91:
4Gb free on SD....

Tried many many time to resinstal V1 or 1.02, and as I said bought the game but no way to download...I become mad with that game.
[Android Software Development] a user:
are you downloading over mobile data or wlan?

try to use wlan in case from another hotspot. maybe there where you are downloading it you get corrupted downloads or other issues.
[Android Software Development] lambstone:
Sounds to me like a bad install of chainfire. Uninstall the driver, Uninstall Chainfire 3D and Pro app. Reinstall from market. Now I own a sgs II and happen to have both games on my phone. I've set them "per app" to each respective plugin and they both work swimmingly.
[Android Software Development] feanor91:
Wlan, off course....I just changed my internet box because over had crashed, so, I will retry with a new box...Will see
[Android Software Development] sontin:
Hey Chainfire,

it is possible to add an option for forcing CSAA for Tegra devices? I read nVidia's description and it looks to me that forcing CSAA is not really different than MSAA.
[Android Software Development] Hammerfest:
Right!, so searching 14 pages (manually CTRL+F) and with the thread search tool, I have found no definitive answer to the question I am about to ask and has undoubtedly been answered before:

Even with the PRO version, I cannot set the Quality settings for Things like Camera and Gallery, and yet in both with the Chainfire quality lowered they are both fubared!

Chainfire: Feature request for next version - Ability to set application specific settings for programs OTHER then those you manually download (aka, Nand)... I start using gallery alot lately and hate having to disable the quality killer totally just to use it :/

Galaxy Note problem

Hi i have an Galaxy Note and i have problems using C3D Pro. If the display driver is installed, the stock browser crash in 2 seconds. I can replicate this every time. If i try to install 3 consecutive plugins then phone restarts. I have not change any default settings. If i uninstall the driver browser works just fine.

All i can say with, the NVIDIA plugin Shadowgun works fine.

Using ROM rooted stock KJ4.
[Android Software Development] feanor91:
We have same style of problem with HTC Sense 3.5 if CF3D driver are installed, Sense enter into a bootloop
[Android Software Development] Rapid81:
I just wanted to say THANK YOU CHAINFIRE!

And you can add Samsung Omnia 2 with O2Droid Froyo ß3 to the list! It's WORKING! :)

I just tested it with Drag Racing with settings "Reduce Texture Quality" and QualComm Plugin! The FPS from 5-8 jumped up to ~15-18!

Also improved the gaming experience in other games, like Plants vs. Zombies, NinJump or Cut The Rope.
[Android Software Development] b15love:
wrong thread!
[Android Software Development] crypticc:
Warning. Riptide 1.2.1 in the market for sgsii is lower quality than 1.1.1 for Tegra. Easily seen, just pick fireball and see the V on his back. The bitmap resolution its about half the original.

Chainfire lives!

UPDATE: 1.2.1 tegra version still works with chain fire and shaders, just make sure your market is set to nvidia mode before you download, or you will be downgraded!
[Android Software Development] Gkar3:
A noob question ... Do you think that it can allow me to play Tegra Games on my Galaxy Note ?
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
Some people claim it crashes on the Note... but it works fine for me.
[Android Software Development] clouds5:
I use a sense 3.5 rom and i once had this problem. I could it solve though:

After installing the drivers and restart is complete go directly into chainfire app and wait until it gets SU permissions. Then go back to launcher and see if it works. It should^^ if it doesnt restart your device and try again the same way. For me this did the trick.

With the newest version of the rom I use (still sense 3.5, RCmix3d runny 3.3) this problem is gone though. 100% working without issues.
[Android Software Development] itachi1706:
The problem with this is that you can't even launch the app when sense bootloop. Unless you have an alternative launcher or you put the app as a shortcut on the lockscreen.

Try underclocking cpu and undervolting gpu. Siyah kernel+voltage control is a killer combo to me, no more overheating and better battery life while gaming.
[Android Software Development] alroger:
Hmmm, I just played some Shadowgun to cool of. In my head Shadowgun uses more, but probably a dev and lib choice.

How do I UV or UC GPU? I'm at default 1GHz and -50mV on my tab. I assume that's just CPU control.

- Tapatalk - SGT-P1000N - CM7 Beta -
[Android Software Development] vnvman:
Yep you have to use the voltage control app from the market in order to uv the gpu, but you have flash siyah first because cm stock kernel doesn't support gpu tweaking. You'll find the option under "siyah special" tab. Anyway some games just heat more than others: for example Shadowgun doesn't heat much, while instead Nova 2 is a much worse game but makes the phone insanely hot. Gameloft really sux at times...
[Android Software Development] alroger:
Tks for the knol. My quick search of siyah didn't enlightened me. Is it a whole kernel? Module/driver?

All info will appreciated so I can pass on to @technomancer and @humberos for CM7 and and latin kernels.

Yes I do use Voltage Control, but never heard of that tab before.

Hello i have a g1 running froyo by laszlo 5.2 was wondering it this gpl driver would increase the grafix on my device im a lil weary of doing this as im not aware if this rom is using the ram hack which uses memory from the gpu if i try to install from market it says that its not compatable for this device but i love to test but also love my device and dont want it a brick but the op says something like this makes me wanna try it

but the fact that he owns a g1 and didnt test it out on his device makes me extremely warry can i get a lil feedback on what people think
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
G1 is not supported... CF3D needs an OpenGL v2 devices, the G1 only does v1.

Hello

I had Energy rom with 3.5 too and CF3D....for me it works, until I had a widget on the home, and it is started to bootloop...I think there is a problem, maybe wih some widget...Before that, I was under RCMIX 3D and when I installed CF3D, sense bootloop until yesterday, where, I don't know why I retry sense, and here it works...It is a very strange bug that need to be investigate. As sense 3.5 is GUI accelerated (i think) perhaps, something has a bad behavior with this.

Otherthing, for those who remeber a few post ago about bad download with Shadowgun. On the new rom I tried, I was able to download all the files, so, it was a rom problem.
[Android Software Development] merbiyatch:
i wish i could say that this rom is awesome. im not saying that it sucks either. thing is, i installed this rom on my sgs2 running ki8 2.3.5 and i have not noticed any difference in graphics in apps even with the plugins or the msaa option. i dont know if its just me or what but i will look around and see if i can get things to work.

if anybody can help me with my situation, that would be great. thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] a user:
1. this is not a rom

2. there are no visual changes to be expected with any of the plugins

3. can'T talk about the msaa though.

you probably should read again what chainfire3d is about.

Sense Bootloop

Hello

I conduct some tests, and it appears that it is not sense that cause the reboot, but widget we add on it.

Apparently the HTC widget seems to work but as soon as I try to use another widget (tried whith phone weaver and battery monitor), then Sense starts to bootloop.

I think it is something due to the fact that Sense 3.5 is an accelerated GUI and other widget than HTC are not supported by this and interact in a matter or another with CF3D.

If a developper could investigate further by digging into the code, it will be good, I think.

For now, the only solution is to no use Sense or to not use non HTC widget on it.

Hope it will help some.
