[Q] Is this a common problem?

[Stempanssi]

So yesterday I ran onto a problem:
So I downloaded Riptide GP and then I started the race but in the second turn everything just got messy and the game sounds just continued as I could still hear them. I didn't know what it was but today I got a idea that it may be the force GPU rendering, so I turned it off and tried again so no problems in Riptide,
but in dead trigger and some other games i've noticed a same kinda lag doesn't matter if GPU rendering is on or off. The screen just gets messy but I can hear continuing sounds... and then the game force closes (without any kinda message)

So have you guys had any trouble with performance?
I'm overall quite "disappointed" with the whole tegra 3 I don't think it's "that" good :-[

I haven't played Riptide, but I did play Dead Trigger. I didn't notice any lag, but the game was buggy on its own. I would be shooting zombies, then suddenly, I'm turned either 90 or 180 degrees and shooting at a wall. Combine that with the non-continuous look, and I'm frantically making little swipes with my right thumb to turn toward the zombies again. It makes the game unenjoyable (the fact that the story sounds like it was written by an eight year old doesn't help).

As for your lag problems, have you tried the usual troubleshooting methods (cold boot, factory reset, etc.)? I know that GTA3 recommends rebooting the tablet and starting with empty RAM (as empty as it gets, anyway) before you play it, and I have noticed a big performance difference when doing that versus playing with open apps. Maybe you could try that?

Yea that turning issue in dead trigger is really annoying.
Often after a reboot it has helped.
Is cold boot a normal reboot and what is the menu which you get when you press volume down plus power at boot or was it volume up?

When you press volume down and power while booting, it shows you the bootloader menu. If you don't press anything, it will do a cold boot, which means it clears cache and dalvik cache.

Ok thanks, was it also possible to do a factory reset from that menu?

Yes. To be honest, though, I may have been wrong about how to cold boot. I think if you go to the bootloader menu, you have to press volume up. I'm pretty sure, now that I think about it, waiting will take you to recovery. Volume up gives you the option to factory reset, boot into Android, or wait 10 seconds to cold boot. Regardless, it will tell you when you get to the menu. Just pay attention to what it says.

I do still have these f***ing problems with this tablet.
When playng fifa, shadowgun or gta they all make my screen flash after a couple seconds after getting into the game and then the screen gets messy and then I must exit this game, it really pisses me off.
Could anybody please tell have you had similar problems and what does a factory reset help in?
Any help would be appreciated...

[Stempanssi]

i had similar issues when trying to overclock but if your not rooted that aint your problem i hope the factory reset helps mate

 

[Stempanssi]

The gta 3 froze again at the first time it shows garage but after a restart of the game it worked as i think it should. btw I did try to overclock once i rooted.
I think it has helped with those FR's but i will test more. Thanks mate

I have Riptide GP and ShadowGun and they play flawless.

My TF300 has the stock room with the .30 update.

 

[flashfox]

FWIW, I also have Riptide GP on my stock TF300T and I haven't encountered any issues up to now. Played for quite a while (and so did others)

 

[Stempanssi]

Yesssss! No more lag on either shadowgun or gta 3 so far i have tested!
Seems like those factory resets helped, dunno why.

Hey "nice" to have someone having similar problems (not me being the only one)
So you also did factory reset, did you do 3 times a row? I did
