Note: Not every app gonna work on this. Same for KOPLayer, Leapdroid and many more.
Note 2: Just because Google Play Store and Amazon listed apps as working doesn't mean those will.
Note 3: Missing rotate 360. For games like Zaxxon Escape. Other wise you can't fully play it without it.

Trying to get multiple instances of Mobile Strike working but not having much luck. I've tried modifying the Device ID but that also didn't help.

Two instances with the app installed on both. Logged in then restarted both apps and the first one asks to log in again.

Have contacted support a couple of times now but have yet to get a response. Has anyone been able to get it working? Is it even possible to have it working as expected?

Tried an alternative emulator and it works but there are features in Nox that I would like to be able to use which the other emulator doesn't have.

H,
I have an issue with Nox app player. The emulated android screen does not respond to the clicks. Any ideas? I tried unistall/reinstall, I tried a different .exe, I tried changing the settings to opengl and high performance, I tried executing as administrator but the problem persists. I have windows 10 x64

thanks

This is a known problem which will be fixed in our next version [3.7.2]. Kindly stay tuned to our new version updates.

Even with the recent update you guys continue to not add higher resolution support the limit is still 2999 for width and height.
Why wont you give support for higher resolutions past 2999?
I have been waiting for months and still no support for higher resolution.

Sorry for the delay. Please understand that with every new version, we prioritize performance-wise aspects of Nox App Player and may not be able to implement every feedback and suggestions in one time. Since we've got lots to deal with on our list, some fixes will roll out gradually in later versions.

Thanks for report this to us. We will include it in our test list and try look into the matter accordingly. Sometimes game crash is not related to its size. Many gameloft games have trouble running on emulators.

If dragging and dropping fails, you could try the "Add apk file" button on the toolbar and select the apk you want to install there.

    too bad
    ~ can't play GAMELOFT games
    ~ Can't Rotate with 2 finger ( 360 degree screen ) in simcity buildiT
    ~ no swipe up swipe down control
    but ... i love this Emulator :eek: :good: ... i can play NFS - Most Wanted

    UPDATE :
    work 2 finger control (multi touch), same with MEmu just put pad control on center screen, example use letter "Q" ~ save, and press left mouse and hold, you can rotate your screen on SimCity BuildIT ( Q + Hold Left Mouse ) :laugh: :good:

    How to set virtual location?
    Thanks!

    Just click the fourth button <Virtual Location> on the side bar, choose your preferred location and Click Apply.

    Nice find!

    I can't get AMI DuOS to start no matter what and Andy feels painfully slow to me.
    Looks like this is mainly centered around playing Android games on PC.

    Anyone know how to import/share files between Windows and Nox? I've tried dragging and dropping MP3's, but I can't find them using the file manager.

    Which version are you using? To import and export files in the latest 2.5 version, you will have to turn on the root mode in system settings first since this operation requires super-user role which is disabled by default now.
