Problems with Riptide 2

So it seems like I am getting a lot of problems trying to run Riptide GP on my SGS2.

Could it be incompatibility with Criskelo Rom V7?

First time installing CF3D , install nvidia plugin. Install riptide. Riptide runs but with texture problems.

Installed shader fix plugin. Now Riptide wasn't launching. Decided to remove plugins/driver and hard reset.

Now after hard reset, reinstall CF3D and driver , and Nvidia plugin. 90% of the time it crashes and reboots.

Finally they all install OK with no crashes. However, the game is still not working at all. With ONLY Nvidia plugin, the game does not start (black screen, and closes). With the shader fix installed, the game tries to start and then has a force close.

Going to keep reinstalling CF3D and plugins. I think one of them keeps getting corrupted. :S Anyone have any ideas?

Using BELL SGS2 I9100M with Crickelo ROM v7, and Mirage V5 kernel.

Just had the same issue, after I flashed a new rom without wipe.

I justed titanium backup to delete data and uinstall chainfire, then I installed it again trough the market, and everything worked.
[Android Software Development] lambstone:
Uninstall and reinstall from market.
[Android Software Development] Warrimonk:
Finally worked

I finally got the plugin to load after about 25 reinstallations! Patience!

Games working so far:

Pinball HD

Samurai 2

T-Racer THD - Works, but has some texture problems, and force crashes on occasion (USE VERSION 1.0, 1.1 did not work for me)

Backbreaker THD - Slight texture issues but playable

Riptide ** EDIT: Make sure you use riptide 1.01. Rolling back from 1.02 to 1.01 made the game work, including after reboot **

GOF2 - Make sure you use version 1.0.2! (Tried 1.0.4 and 1.0.4.5 with no success) Even works with Unrolled Textures and 16X MSAA :O

These games aren't working or playable :

Monster Madness - Does not load past launching screen

History Medieval Great Battles - Loads Menus beautifully but force crashes when game tries to render

Solar Flare XXKG3 ROM and Mirage V5 Kernel

Hi, All

I already have the pro version, recently I upgrade my Color Nook become CM N146, after install the apk Chainfire and its pro (already backup the apk before) . but when I open the chainfire application recognize as a free version. because the per-app menu OpenGL settings, Fix market, manage and backup plugins are disable.

any solutions for this situation?
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
Reinstall from Market ...

[Android Software Development] jan-willem3:
Chainfire just a question is it possible to add dithering in to the OpenGL driver. The hd2 and maybe other devices to have a 65000 colour screen because of that a colours look really bad.
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
Not without a performance drop of several factors, probably.
[Android Software Development] dickie2007:
Hi Chainfire, are you able to use OpenGL Driver/interception method to correct the colour banding/dithering issue on the SGS2??

Details can be found here:

http://forums.arm.com/index.php?/topic/15064-dithering-on-sgs2mali400mp/

I'm guessing from your Depth Buffer options that you already use the method described in the last post to provide 24bit colour surface in 3D applications...

Cheers

Just wanted to share just for fun.

Youtube: Samsung galaxy S2, underclocked to 500mhz(from 1200mhz) running riptide GP.

Jump directly to 1:05 if you just want to se the game runnning.
[Android Software Development] henriquesb:
The GPU was not underclocked, I'd say. But the SIMD instructions would be running slower... anyway, Tegra has no SIMD AFAIK.

Good point. So I tried with/without the Reduce Texture Size/Quality options as well as changing the in-game scaling quality options (from max -> 1/2) but like aejt says it always crashes after 15 secs or so.

Any way of generating some debug logs for you to take a peek (after you get some sleep)?

Thx again for all your efforts (not just in Android - but also back in WM!)
[Android Software Development] WagTwo:
Where do u get the tegra games from? I cant buy samurai vengance from tegra zone because it recognises my phone as a non tegra device.

use Chainfire 3D to add Nvidia plugin for Tegra Zone. Redo market & add nvidia plugin to each of the Tegra Zone games that's on your phone.

Nook Color - poor results

I wanted to provide some feedback and offer my testing assistance if it is wanted.

I am getting poor results on nook color with latest cyanogenmod, nightly build 85.

Running OC at 950 Mhz, normally 1.3 Ghz, but waiting for a kernel update to get me back to 1.3.

I started with Dungeon Defenders, and it generally runs slower with a good bit of consistent stuttering, perhaps every 1-3 seconds.

I picked this game to try, as it is now my current 'border performance' app, which is running just acceptably enough to normally play, I guess about 15fps just eyeballing it without a fraps type utility.

With quadrant, below are some results:

all options enabled: ~1000

All options off: ~1200

driver disabled: ~1500.

Let me know if I can run any test apks, or provide any logs. I would love to see this work for Nook Color!

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] hakkinenvthh:
It doesn't work with Tegra zone
[Android Software Development] RMXO:
It works for me. Sorry, I should of given better instructions.

All within Chainfire 3D (make sure you install the drivers)

default openGL settings > Use plugins > Nvidia

Per-app OpenGL settings > Tegra Zone > USe plugin > Nvidia

Do the above for all Tegra games & make sure you Fix Market settings within CF3D.
[Android Software Development] philburkhardt:
The nook community thanks you!

Chainfire my friend, this is absolutely amazing!

I can confirm that this works GREAT on the NOOKcolor! :D

color corrections

Can you please add (to Pro version) some kind of color correction?

I miss this feature and think that mine SGS2 too 'warm' and i prefer 'cold' colors.

IMHO, this will be demanded feature.
[Android Software Development] kohiiou:
Have you tried this?

1. Settings -> Display -> Background effect ->

You can choose different levels of saturation: Dynamic, Standard, Movie

Also under: Settings -> Display

There is a setting called "Auto adjust screen power" that could affect the colors.

[Android Software Development] Kashban:
Wow! That's exactly what I've missed about Android: Options to enhance visual quality of Games. Tegra Games come in as a bonus in my opinion.

Chainfire3D works like a charm on the Samsung Galaxy S2, even the not so performant Archos 101it tablet is able to run it... many games do look much better with antialiasing enabled. On the Galaxy S2 upto 16x is possible without performance issues, the Archos (Android 2.2) supports 4x.

Looks really good to attach the Galaxy via HDMI to a big screen and play games with smooth edges.

Both thumbs up!

Hey everyone,

I read an article today talking about how things like Chainfire3D and RenderFX take up cpu cycles and, subsequently, more power to change the rendered colors on screen when using Night Mode. I only use Chainfire3D for this purpose but if the drain in power negates any benefits seen from using Night Mode, I had might as well keep it off.

My question is, does installing the initial driver cause any form of constant battery drain and are there any real power savings by running in amber or red during the day.

Thanks! :)

Hi

I searched the net and I came up with this thread

so i read the first page and searched all the pages for "sensation"

does this compatible with HTC sensation? I installed it and the phone is working ok ( i guess it is :D )

if it is compatible, why i get force close when trying to run THD apps like riptide? i tried changing all the variables in per-app Open GL setting and no luck. then i searched a bit more and i find this shaders for example for sgs2 and DHD. but there is nothing about sensation and no one is asking it:confused:

now, can some one help me with this?

can I get rid of these FCs when i try to run riptide gp, by using shaders?

there was a guide for dumping shaders but i there is no error dump in the specified folder on my device even when check the dump all shaders to file in chainfire 3d
[Android Software Development] lambstone:
First of all, uninstall and reinstall both the app and the pro from market. Then install nvidia plugins and set it for riptide. It should work.
[Android Software Development] aaricchavez:
The quote you have up is referring to OLED screens, not LCD screens. They are both very different, so in order to do the same thing the article was talking about on an OLED screen it takes some CPU/GPU power vs doing it on a LCD screen takes none.

So it depends on what device you have. And it only applies when you're using the night mode. So you will save power if your phone/device has a LCD screen. If it has a OLED it may just balance out to nothing.

Somebody correct me if i'm wrong here. :p
[Android Software Development] B!GBOY:
thanks I tried that and no changes, still getting force close. but before trying to uninstall and re install ChainFire3D i tried clearing data (riptide data) and it worked, the game started and i played two races. when i wanted to start the game again, i get FC again:( and its the case, I need to clear the data and try to run the game and after about 10 or 15 tries i can launch the game !

what is making those FCs? can i find that out with a logcat? what sould i search for in the log?:confused:

thanks in advance

I bought CHAINFIRE3D becasue I'm now able to play lot more games :) BUT

GOF2 slide show

Anyone else getting GOF2 performance to tank on a Captivate (galaxy S) further in the game when the capital ships are around? I'm choosing the option to reduce textures and most things look okay. However the game probably drops to around 2fps and the capital ships are not rendering correctly (all blue). I bought the game, so maybe I'll go raise heck with them about the performance :).

First, the free version von Chainfire is working very well on my Galaxy Tab - impressive app! :cool:

Well, now I have a Toshiba AC100 smartbook too. It's a Tegra2 Android 2.2 netbook. But some of my games wont work on this Tegra2 machine but on my Tab. So it is possible to install Chainfire 3D on a Tegra2 machine to run non-Tegra games on it?

Kind regards,

Ok...I don't think 4xMSAA is working on my Inspire 4G/Desire HD.

I can select it, but it makes no difference in image quality, nor does performance change at all in any benchmarks. I still see the same exact jaggies.

I even took screenshots to compare and there was no difference in any game.

I'm gonna try uninstalling EGL and the app, and then re-installing both.

I'm assuming the Adreno 205 doesn't support 16x so that's why there is no option for it. (Can you try adding options for FSAA and stuff)?

Chainfire problem

Really needs HELP here . Currently having rooted xt720 oc 1000Mhz , installed chainfire 3d driver , so far works like charm in my phone , but recently just found that some of my games become impossible to be played , for example , fruit ninja free , ragdoll , tank hero and so on . It can be opened , but it just like something went wrong with the it . Some games even lag though it isn't like this before i installed the driver . As for tank hero and fruit ninja , the game is smooth , but it just like the sensor is having promblem , it took time to perform my gesture , and sometimes even nothing happen when i slide/touch on the screen . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated .
[Android Software Development] BeelzeM:
Just a small question here. CF3D doesn't see all apps, only the ones in the /data folder, not the ones in /system. And then also it only works on games etcetera.

I was trying to get MSAA running on my launcher, I thought it might help with jagged lines of icons with transitions and animations. Any way to do this or is this stupid?
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
This is in fact on purpose... it will make your launcher look really weird. Trust me, I've tried ;)
[Android Software Development] BeelzeM:
Alright thanks for explaining man, that's kinda why I thought you did that. It worked great on some live wallpapers I had so I thought it might work on the launcher. Cheers.

Hey guys,I reinstalled CF3D driver along with the EGL driver because of some problems I had,but it f*cked up my system.It took a long to boot again and it said something about inconsistent UIDs and everything started FCing and it also said I should wipe my data partition.Is there anything I can do or do I have to go through the painful process of starting from scratch?
[Android Software Development] a user:
no. in contrary. the brighter the image (not the backlight!) the less current is consumed on lcd / slcd displays. on amoled displays this is exactly vice versa.

though, the increasement of consumption of a total black screen over a total white one on lcd displays is extremly low - in practive not really relevant.

but the difference for amoled displays is quite high.
