Hi, thanks for the awsome port.
Almost from the beginning of the release on the github, I laid out the apk on 4pda, there are 3 different gameplays laid out on different devices, I hope this will work for you. Also, most people complain about the impossible to play gpu mali. Also thanks for the sensor control.
Theme on 4pda (If you are interested): http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=942755&view=findpost&p=82667734

p.s sorry for the google translate :)

[aarcangeli]

I didn't know that thread, thank you for the promotion.
Unfortunately I don't speak Russian and I cannot read what is written on it.

Also, most people complain about the impossible to play gpu mali

What do you mean with "gpu mali"?

[xcoress]

Unable to run on mali video accelerators. Usually they are always with MTK processors. Perhaps vpsh apk was originally developed for Qualcomm Snapdragon.

[xcoress]

I also quote words from the forum: The author of the port could take this fork as a base. https://github.com/ptitSeb/Serious-Engine
Here the person has solved most of the problems that the author has described in the readme. In particular, low FPS
Writing control would take him a SDL2 on the force of a week ....
In particular, I personally took this fork when trying to port this engine.
Why all these extra gestures - I do not understand.
Perhaps a person just has plenty of time ... and he loves the difficulties ....

[xcoress]

I honestly do not understand what he is talking about, but he seems to know what he is talking about.

[aarcangeli]

The new version should resolve crashes.
I have also added some logs.

[xcoress]

Add please switch weapon buttons. This is important.

[xcoress]

New version 1.02 on snapdragon 625 android 7.1.2
Meizu m6 note(my phone)
Crash: https://youtu.be/PFq_zJNb9-M
In previous versions, everything worked

[aarcangeli]

Can you attach SeriousSam.log?

[xcoress]

sure: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nMdBvlTEAUTeDkJaE76b-p74jgas1pgx/view?usp=drivesdk

[aarcangeli]

Hi,
this logs does not contain any relevant information.
The last two errors are not critical.
I need more information to understand what is the reason of the crash.

Please do the following steps:

1. Enter the command "adb logcat -c" to clear the log
2. Run the app and wait until it crashes
3. Type "adb logcat -d > log.txt" to copy the log into log.txt
4. Attach log.txt here

P.S. If you don't have adb you can download it from [here]

[xcoress]

I dont know why, but he is empty. 0 kb....

[xcoress]

Here you go. It turned out that the logcat entry is broken on my firmware.

[aarcangeli]

Logcat doesn't works? Very strange, but don't worry.
I was able to reproduce exactly your crash on my device.
I still didn't found a solution but I found the problem.
I don't need logs anymore.

[xcoress]

good luck 👍

[xcoress]

Okay the crashes are gone. At least with me for sure. In any case, the game is not playable enough. There are no sensor buttons for changing weapons, using and squatting. As well as 12 fps in the initial location in a quiet environment, with drawdowns of up to 5/3 fps. Kill the bull and reach the sniper rifle in this way is a great achievement for me 😅

Let's see what will happen next... Good Luck 👍

[xcoress]

O my god! 12/10! This update amazing!
As a developer, you are incredible!
For managing the accelerometer separate Respect!

Now the game can be played, and with pleasure, but still I would like it so that when the shooting button is held down, you can aim at the sides.
And it would be nice if the user could choose from 640 * 480 to 1080p, so that everyone can customize the picture to suit their tastes.

Too bad a video recording eats up half the frame. So I wanted to show how increased FPS. Snapdragon 625 produces stable 40/25 fps.

Just a couple of updates and it will be the perfect port! Good luck in your further development!

[xcoress]

Okay... Not everything is as rosy as I would like ...
Crash in this place. Strange yes?

[aarcangeli]

Thank you, i appreciate it.

Yea! This is a limitation of touch controls, you can't use three fingers at the same time.
With the accelerometer you can solve (partially) this problem, I noticed you have disabled it, can I ask you why? Is there any issue?

I'll fix this later

[xcoress]

can I ask you why?

Check out my other video. It is not necessary to look from the very beginning, for it is just a fps measurement. The point is that at 4:43 I turn on the gyroscope to try to aim. As a result, the scope twitches and sometimes it can play a cruel joke. The implementation is good, I just never play with an accelerometer. Even in the race. :)

[xcoress]

The forum advised to use crashlytics for log entries. By the way, I noticed another crash at the very end of the game after killing the boss. The cutscene begins without problems, but after 6 seconds the game freezes and crashes.

[aarcangeli]

Hi, I have just published a fix to the first crash.
The last problem should be solved as well, let me know.

[xcoress]

Quickly! Yes now does don't crash. Thanks.

I think you need to add a button to call serious bomb. Later.

Hi! What about serious sam first encounter?
Your port of SE looks awesome, work super smooth on snapdragon 835 and 845, great job!

[dhanial]

The latest seem more speed and comfortable touch control but i suggest in next update make touch control more customizable

Hi.
Mali t720
Open GL 3.1
Graphic artifacts instead of textures.

[xcoress]

okay... Strange... Can you fix it? Mali t720
It looks like a rather small screen.

Another person has similar problems too ...

[xcoress]

This person writes that there are textures in past inefficient versions.

[aarcangeli]

I have created an issue for it: #14

[xcoress]

The new version turned out to be good, the settings have become more, the management has become more convenient, it remains only to finish such cosmetic minor things, as the change came, the character's skin and ect. But lucky people that there is such a person like you. Great work. Stay the same cool.

[xcoress]

Ok. It turns out the game is not always (or always) does not start on Android 4.4+
The port, after all, was not designed for old versions of android?
On Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 lite (SM-T116), Android 4.4.4 crashes (application stopped)
I do not ask to add optimization, but I put before the fact.
