android-questions

[sleek torrent]

Yeah man, now phones are really capable I'm sure 865, 870 and 888 can run at hi Def 60fps or even normal 90fps

In the future generations even 120

[fast hearth]

Is there choise between def and fps?

Like there 4 modes
Energy efficient
30 fps low def
30 fps high def
60 fps high def

Aren't there?

[mint vale]

The 60 FPS is not high def, it's labelled high performance mode

[fast hearth]

But what about these sky videos on YouTube? Some are made in 1080p and 60fps

[mint vale]

Most of them use iOS, which has much better frame rates and quality compared to most android phones

[fast hearth]

Ios supports 1080p at 60 fps?

[mint vale]

I think so, technically even android supports it but it just doesn't look like 1080p lol

[past arrow]

Many YouTubers upscale or increase frame rate when exporting the uploaded video so less quality will be lost during YouTube conversion.

[fast hearth]

And what about 120fps?

[past arrow]

@fast hearth

[mint vale]

Sky doesn't have 120 FPS option, so no idea

[fast hearth]

I mean not in YouTube, right in game

Like if I have 120hz screen can I play Sky more than with 60fps

[mint vale]

Probably not

60 FPS means upper limit of 60

[fast hearth]

I'm just going to buy sony xperia 1 iii with 4k 120fps so I'm interested if that will be useful in sky

[past arrow]

You'll see only what apps support and that's true for all apps. It's like if you have a 120hz screen that won't make 23 fps cinema movie higher fps lol

[fast hearth]

ik

i was just about if sky supports more than 60fps

[past arrow]

Nyx already answered this question 3msg above

[fast hearth]

oh missed this one

ok then

[sleek torrent]

It's a shame,

Give us some advanced graphic controls 😤

[past arrow]

It's not just as easy to add some graphic sliders.

[sleek torrent]

Well if it took them a year to implement audio on/off

I'm sure this is impossible 😂

[hollow raft]

I installed the game on my tablet and it crashes after the tgc logo :| does that happen to anyone else?

[past arrow]

I do believe they had their attention on other things as well. It's very hard to find good devs these days whereas there's a high demand on them. I have friends in the industry at leader positions and they say the similar.

[past arrow]

What's your exact device model? Where was the game downloaded from?

[hollow raft]

the game wasn't available on the Play Store on this device, so I tried sideloading it

:/

it is an HP Touchpad

[past arrow]

It's against terms of service. It's not available on play store for reason for your HP touchpad.

[hollow raft]

Sigh...it would've been nice to play on a bigger device

[karmic elk]

Go buy a samsung tab

[karmic elk]

ahem

[past arrow]

That's irrelevant. That's a different game with an entirely different engine. Please remember TGC is a small inside company with their own engine originally written to iOS :') moreover they are suffering from absence of coders in the midst of pandemic

[karmic elk]

[past arrow]

For me the aliasing artifacts are the biggest problems. Let's keep reporting bugs and writing in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived we android players together!

[karmic elk]

TGC: Make Engine orginally on iOS run on android.

What can possible go wrong....

Everything

[past arrow]

In fact it's not wrong, just had its inconveniences. I think if everything would be wrong there haven't been 5 million android downloads so far.

Let's get together and ask for better graphics. Atm sometimes the high def mode is even worse sometimes than normal mode.

[static palm]

I don't see the green cape on my shop why?

[fervent stone]

It’s in ||office|| shop

[static palm]

oh okay, thanks

[high iron]

Personally I think high performance mode works better than high def, but that could just be me.

[dusk vortex]

Is there any way to connect PayPal into play store?

I don't think it's available in Asia 💦

[prime tangle]

It depends on your country I believe

[dusk vortex]

Aww that's sad :/

I really want to make a purchase for the donate in sky but it won't allow me to buy it

[opal oasis]

You can always donate directly to the charity.

[thorny dust]

can anyone help me figure out why Sky Children is so laggy on my phone ? i only used 29,4 GB our of 64GB and i have a huawei p20 lite

[true trellis]

You can also try other payment methods, I'm sure Play Store offer options for payment, I sometimes use Load Balance of SIM Cards

[true trellis]

It might have something to do with RAM and OS of the device itself. Not sure what is the exact minimum OS & RAM requirement to run Sky smoothly.

Try to google "Sky Android" and look for the wiki page, that might help address some queries that you have 😊

[thorny dust]

oki thx

[keen dock]

I have 4 modes:
Low Energy Resolution (I don't know how many fps this is, feels like 24)
Normal Mode (30fps)
Normal Mode (60fps)
High Def Mode (30fps)

[sleek torrent]

Remake it DUH!!!

[keen dock]

I'm on snapdragon 865 adreno 650

I can run Genshin Impact 60fps on maximum settings without stuttering

But can't play High Def Mode 60fps on Sky 😂

[sleek torrent]

There's no hight Def 60fps

[keen dock]

I think they call it Boosted Def Mode

Not High Def Mode

[sleek torrent]

It'd be too much for the processor to handle

[keen dock]

No it wouldn't

[sleek torrent]

Well they say

I know

888 can run at 120

If allowed

[keen dock]

My display is 90hz

And it runs any game in that rate

Easily

Without stuttering

[sleek torrent]

Oh your chipset should be able to get 90 but

[keen dock]

Sky doesn't support 90hz

[sleek torrent]

You can't 😔

Tgc

There are 168hz displays now

[keen dock]

I don't mind playing normal mode 60fps, but I remember on iPhone Boosted Def is 60fps not 30fps

So I was wondering why

[sleek torrent]

I have Boosted Def 30fps

[keen dock]

My phone never crosses 35 degrees on Sky

But the iphone burns in my hand

Yet they lock it for me on android

[sleek torrent]

See my device can run pubg without heating and smoothly

It's not exactly how sky runs

[keen dock]

I run Genshin on max settings and it never passes 38°

[sleek torrent]

I have been asking for advanced setting for long

:/

[keen dock]

It's just silly

They lock it to apple devices

Snapdragons are almost as powerful

Can't say about exynos

[true trellis]

How come? Adreno 650 is more than capable to run High Performance Mode 60fps, atleast that's what I've read on the wiki

OH, nvm, my brain is bonkers today 😂

[keen dock]

It's locked

The highest mode is 30fps

I'm on the OnePlus 8

Snapdragon 865

It should be able to though

It's powerful enough

[past arrow]

Snapdragon doesn't mean anything if your gpu is not top grade. Some apps may use CPU and you can be happy with it, Sky is less CPU - more GPU hungry.

[keen dock]

My device runs wild rift on absolute maximum settings 90fps

What are you talking about

And pubg on ultra HD 60fps

[true trellis]

Yeah it's more than powerful enough. Isn't High Performance Mode 60fps the highest graphic settings Android can run on Sky?

[keen dock]

From these games Sky is the one I get lowest temperatures on

It's the least intensive

[past arrow]

@zeycke You read it above. Other apps and cpu are not relevant

Unfortunately they won't rewrite the game core for Android whereas they have 10x more iOS users.

[keen dock]

The engine was designed for iOS and Playstation

You can tell because

Their previous games

Like journey

Flower

Flow

Are all on iOS

But not Android

Which is silly

[past arrow]

Unfortunately devs don't read this channel. You can write your constructive feedback to Sky team in #live-feedback

[tame comet]

Sky does a device check at start up. The database they reference for device performance might not have your model's GPU score so 60 FPS is locked out until the database they use has a proper score for your device. In a future update, 60 fps will most likely unlock. When that update happens is

[karmic mesa]

O.o

I run the Adreno 650... And it does allow 60 FPS for me.

[tame comet]

OnePlus 8 might not have the GPU listed in the database they reference.

[sleek torrent]

Oh man the show ended ;(

[karmic mesa]

o.O

[sleek torrent]

I'd recommend them to contact support

[karmic mesa]

That's weird... I figure it would be a 650 would have 60 FPS no matter what it's in...

[sleek torrent]

Yeah

I think there's a misunderstanding

They say it has 60fps

But not high Def 60fps

I really have no idea about 60fps sky

Highest I got on my exynos was 51fps

Well for a second it dropped to 23 on the next one

Not sustained

[karmic mesa]

#android-questions message

[tame comet]

"The highest mode is 30fps" they did claim no 60 fps

[karmic mesa]

Lol

[sleek torrent]

Lets call the man himself

@keen dock @keen dock

[sleek torrent]

@tame comet

Sorry for the pings

[tame comet]

Eh, in any event... Complaining about high def 60 fps when screenshots look like a PS2 game in any setting.

[sleek torrent]

Thats a burn

[sleek torrent]

There's no proof they don't

[keen dock]

Normal mode is 60fps guys

But high mode isn't

It's 30

Whereas on iphones it's 60 as well

I'm not complaining

I'm just trying to figure out why

[golden aurora]

Hii
My phone is android
Anyone know how can I change my account in game?
I could change it before but few days ago i cant change it

[past arrow]

With the new patch update account change is bugged. I advise you to wait for update.

[golden aurora]

Okk tnx for your advice

[tame comet]

#known-issues first bullet point.

[sleek torrent]

Also

That seems like alt or multiple accounts

O_q

[ruby shale]

Any app to boost game... Playing instruments gets laggy

[fast hearth]

Im having a glitch in my cape, this supposed to be black from season of belonging – pleaful parent

I first got it when I was still using iphone and now when I changed to android. I got this

[true trellis]

#known-issues

[fast hearth]

Oop thanks smh

[true trellis]

It's a visual bug on version 0.13.3

[fast hearth]

Well actually I have
Like there 4 modes
24 fps Energy efficient
30 fps low def
30 fps high def
And thats all

[fast hearth]

I wish I could play genshin impact some day

It's 15fps at lowest on my snapdragon 636

[keen dock]

Oof

[empty bluff]

Hello ehmm i have a question about sky in pc but i sont nhkow where i can do the question some one can say it??

[keen dock]

My condolences to your SoC

[keen dock]

This is android only chat

[empty bluff]

Yea for that i look where i can ask

What chat

[keen dock]

Do you want to know if sky is coming to pc?

[empty bluff]

Yea

[keen dock]

There is no official date sadly

Only switch android and ios

Are officially confirmed

Switch is coming this june

No news for PC

At least not officially..

[empty bluff]

;.;

[keen dock]

I know..

I want it on pc as well

But it's how it is right now

[fast hearth]

I would so happy when sky is for pc

Finally more than 20fps at lowest

[empty bluff]

Stupid switch sure they have the legally be in switch first and for long long time

Like when shovel nighk dlc was firts in switch and later in other ones consoles

[keen dock]

I don't think sky will be on playstation

But maybe on pc one day

[empty bluff]

Yea

[keen dock]

It's been a while now

And still absolutely no news on it

They delayed the switch release one whole year

So rip

[fast hearth]

Nvidia tegra x1 cpu in switch is actually same power as snapdragon 835

Just switch has much better OS and architecture so it's easier to optimize games

[keen dock]

"much better os"

[empty bluff]

That is not the problems

[keen dock]

It's just designed for games

So they get more ram and vram to use

It's not better it's just specialized

[fast hearth]

Ye that what I mean

Sksksjskj

[keen dock]

You can't do a lot more things on switch than play games

You can do a lot more on a phone

[fast hearth]

Well idk actually

[empty bluff]

Some companys like Nintendo or soni buy the license of some games for a long time in hes intelectuals consoles

[keen dock]

Exclusivity cx

Because it pays more that way

[fast hearth]

Tegra x1 gets same amount of points in geekbench as 835

[keen dock]

The developers get exclusivity money

[empty bluff]

And other persons we have to wait so many time just for some games

[fast hearth]

But games run better

[keen dock]

Tgc got extra money from being exclusive on PS3

With Journey

[empty bluff]

@keen dock yea thats the problem exclusivity

Its good they earn money...

But we are going to wait so many times the pc persons

[fast hearth]

When do you download the Sky Beta website application?

[tame comet]

Switchroot says: No

[keen dock]

Well switchroot is nice but I'm pretty sure you lose warranty with such a thing

And you wouldn't get Play Store certification probably

Which means you can't even download Sky

Besides, the Switch is too big of a device to use for things that you do on your phone

In my opinion

[tame comet]

It only works on models made before June 2018, so they are already out of warranty. I agree on the "no phone" thing, but works well as a pseudo tablet.

[keen dock]

It has its uses for sure

But it wouldn't be official (meaning bugs and stuff)

And like I said, no Play Store certification

Meaning, no banking apps, no netflix and no Sky

[tame comet]

I got mine certified. Just limited as it reports as an nVidia Shield.

[keen dock]

Yup that won't do for some apps though

Because you're probably rooted

I'm not sure exactly cuz I don't have a switch

[tame comet]

YouTube and Netflix are apps for Horizon though... (Switch OS)

[keen dock]

Speaking from what I remember

[tame comet]

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/youtube-switch/

[keen dock]

Oh yeah I forgot Nintendo has them

Though they will run out of date in a few years

That's why I don't buy consoles

Their liffetime support is shorter

Soon apps stop working that used to..

And you realize you paid more for something that lost part of its functionality

Kinda sucks though

Because some games are only on consoles..

[tame comet]

Phones don't last forever either. I would love for you to try Sky on a Samsung S6 or Nexus phone...

[keen dock]

They still last longer

And even though with years passing by you'll lose some games or apps

You still get a good selection of them

[tame comet]

Not really. I'm still able to play DKC2 on my SNES...

[keen dock]

I can emulate a SNES game on my phone, legally

Well they are different types of devices

Aiming for different audiences

[tame comet]

Not the same as real hardware. I get less than 1ms latency using a framemaster compared to emulation

[keen dock]

Well of course not

But it's still pretty playable

[tame comet]

I would love to see a phone today still work and play the games it can today in 30 years like the SNES, Sega MS, PS1, etc can. If that proves true, your claim stands that phone's last longer than consoles.

[keen dock]

Absolutely

If you take care well of the phone you can

The battery would probably be really bad

But consoles didn't have batteries

[tame comet]

My Droid X2 (last nVidia made phone) no longer works due to a burned out emmc, which can't be replaced. So far, 10 years seems to be the limit of phones, unless aftermarket repair options are available.

[keen dock]

At least not the better ones

So it's not a fair comparison

In that sense

[tame comet]

Embedded multimedia chips (the internal memory) aren't engineered to last like internal memory of consoles. My PS3 still works fine and it's HDD is easily swapped out. Phones don't have that luxury. They won't last longer than the lifespan of said emmc which is between 5-10 years depending on the usage of internal storage.

[karmic elk]

Talk about switch, What about Nvidia Shield play sky?

[tame comet]

It's listed as not compatible due to last official Shield OS being listed as 32 bit, even though, through nVidia's shield app, most games are 64 bit.

[karmic elk]

If nVIDIA shield didn't drop out support and still update Shield OS to 64 it will be so good.

It just need 32 more bits

[tame comet]

It's a little more complicated than "just 32 more bits." 2³² compared to 2⁶⁴ is a huge difference.

[sleek torrent]

Someone said tablet? Mine can even make 4G calls and do everything a phone a can

Jeez all the console vs mobile wars you had 😂

[tame comet]

Yeah, I get mobile has it's place and is a good solution for some, but saying it lasts longer with all the issues tearing one apart and doing repair on it compared to consoles or a PC is a bit... Yeah...

[sleek torrent]

A phone which lasted the longest infront of my eyes was the Oneplus One, it was bought refurbished, dad used it for almost 4 years and mum for 3(I used it a lot too), even didn't need a battery change!!! But at the end it started having screen ghost touches sooo had to exchange it

It was a masterpiece

[sleek torrent]

With the daily increasing charging speeds, a semiconductor cooler should help both charging and gaming

Some good ones are- Blackshark Fun Cooler Pro, Realme Cooling Clip, generic ones from China

[oblique summit]

May I know that Poco X3 Pro can run 60 fps well ?

[true trellis]

It should be able to run High Performance Mode 60fps

[sleek torrent]

Yes

It will

You didn't ask but anyways here's a list of other budget phones that run sky well at 60fps poco x3 pro is on the list too

[oblique summit]

thanks for the suggestion @sleek torrent @true trellis

I appreciate that 👍

[solar hull]

Hi

About the new update

It confuses me about how to log in and out again XD

Help

[prime tangle]

#known-issues

also, if you have multiple accounts on the same device, that's not recommended

[solar hull]

I only have two

[prime tangle]

still

[solar hull]

Ok

[prime tangle]

best to wait for an update since it's a known issue

[solar hull]

Thanks

[hollow glen]

I have sky in two different devices with the same account. What will happen if i open both? Im quite curious. I havent done it yet just in case smth happens

[hollow tree]

I'm guessing maybe one of them will force close?

[sleek torrent]

It'll show server issues or something like that

Both devices will restart

Sky

[past arrow]

It won't let you go online with the device which reach the Sky servers later. It will write server/connection issue while with the other one you are able to play.

[hollow glen]

Oh alright. Thank you sm

[karmic elk]

Also, multiple account is against EULA

I reach out one of the developer using helpbot and ask them

They said only one person have one licence/game Account

[past arrow]

That's right. But they said same account on 2 devices which is in alignment with EULA/TOS perfectly

[karmic elk]

[past arrow]

That's a whole different story. Please read again what you sent and what I wrote

[hallow peak]

It said one account per person. So it doesnt matter if you have the same account on two devices as long your account is only one. ||cmiiw||

[karmic elk]

My bad

[visual plaza]

Hello Guys My Secondary Android phone Broke so i buyed new and its Realme 6i Can it run Sky smoothly?

[sleek torrent]

It will

Not at 60fps tho

[dense bramble]

Good morning, is there any way of getting the headphones in an Android device?

[past arrow]

No, it's an Android OS limitation for Sky headphones at the moment. Devs are trying to figure out and will implement if will be possible in the future

[harsh jewel]

okay so ive read about the Adreno 618 not supporting the 60fps and i was super disappointed cause i got an m51 and its hella strong

https://youtu.be/tUkeWYvpOiM

but this guy somehow managed to get (almost) 60fps even while recording what

ive got the same variant and all this is so not fair

[past arrow]

It's a common practice amongst YouTubers that they upscale video or export video in more fps not to loose quality or they use unofficial installs which are against TOS, hence they are using moth account there not to loose their main acc.

That video you linked is a bit laggy on my screen. I doubt it reached 30fps in reality.

[harsh jewel]

that make sense, cause that's like the only vid ive found for the m51 so it's very suspicious

thanks for the input guess ill just wait till i get a better phone or the devs decide to give us proper customizable settings

[sleek torrent]

@harsh jewel samsung M series phones are weak

[harsh jewel]

disagree, they are a bit of a step down than the flagship models, but for budget its great

my m51 is literally a powerbank

[sleek torrent]

Yep

F62 would have been better

7,000 mah +9825

Which supports 60fps

Hmm what wrong did you say

It got removed

[harsh jewel]

im sold

ig i used the s word lol

[sleek torrent]

I have an S series device with exynos 9611

Which is present in m30 series

It struggles with sky sometimes

Are you planning on buying a new device btw?

Or already purchased?

[fast hearth]

Eh?

[autumn tangle]

Can someone help, this is the same account it was previously linked to, although I did also have an old account, but that wasn't a problem before

[fast hearth]

I don’t know how to help I use Game Center

[tame comet]

If the game is giving that warning, your best bet is to get a hold of support to assist in moving the account over.

If you don't want to wait for supports the best option would be to link your active account to another method, like Facebook, reload the app and choose to sign in with your Google account at the sign in screen at app start, and unlink it from whatever account it's on right now, restart app, login with your other link method mentioned earlier and try linking the Gmail.

[tame comet]

Game Center is iOS only.

[fast hearth]

Ya that’s why I said idk

[tame comet]

There was no message talking about game center.

[fast hearth]

I think I click the wrong channel XD

LMAO

[fast hearth]

I'm not really sure where to ask this, does anyone have any programs they use to automatically delete green screen backgrounds?

[tame comet]

As long as the app says it has "chroma key" feature, it will be able to do it.

[tame comet]

Fun fact. The term "Chroma Key" was coined by RCA and was their trade name for the process until it was widely used in the special effects industry. The reason we used green/blue is due to being able to remove those "keys" from old analog RGB video equipment for an easy way to have no background.

I wouldn't complain if I got a colour changing cape

[haughty crane]

I would like to ask is it just me or you guys too that when u afk for an hour(didn't click or touch the phone), the game will auto close itself

[true trellis]

Haven't tried it yet nor do I have the time to try and I'm just wondering, who afk's for an hour?

[haughty crane]

Me, when night afk sleeping with my cp

[true trellis]

Ohhh, I haven't tried it yet, sorry. But a lot of my friends do it, and I'm not judging because Sky music is relaxing.

You might wanna ask here as well #questions-and-help if you're interested to know as to why it auto closes.

[haughty crane]

Yea okay. Thanks

[sleek torrent]

Just search up sky audio track on YouTube

[true trellis]

Yeah, like I said, I don't do it. 😅

[sleek torrent]

Haha

My device will catch fire

If I go afk for that long

[true trellis]

Same, I can't even afk for more than 20 minutes (nor will I ever try) and even the graphics is set at power saving mode, phone gets hot enough to cook eggs 😆

[true trellis]

@haughty crane (sorry for the ping) try this one alternative instead if you wanna listen to Sky Music while sleeping and I think there's also available app/s you can download that offers Sky Music

[prime tangle]

there's also the album on spotify itself

[karmic elk]

https://thatskygame.com/ost

[fast hearth]

*cries with 2000mah*

[fast hearth]

u can turn on setting "dont turn off while charging" in android developer settings

it will also prevent apps from auto closing

but it will only work while charging

[azure vessel]

Do you know why it's like a little pixalated un some android devices

Even on high definition

[haughty crane]

Uuh okay, I'll give it a try

[haughty crane]

I heard about developer settings before, but where do I find it though, can't see it anywhere

[fast hearth]

go to settings, than to About, after that go to the bottom and click on Assembly number 10 times

after that exit to settings menu, go to System, than tap Show more, and there u have developer settings

[haughty crane]

Ohh okay. Tysm

[hollow tree]

I heard that's an issue with snapdragon phones.. don't know what happened but it was good waaaaay back then

[fervent stone]

It’s due to optimisation for lower ends Android devices starting from Season of Sanctuary afaik, seems all the snapdragon devices are affected.

[iron cipher]

Hello , whenever I open my game my colours get flushed and contrast gets high

Anything helpful ? Not being to play

[karmic mesa]

Yes, unfortunately even high-end Snapdragon devices suffer from it.

[tall thorn]

i think it's a phone problem on your end. i also had that problem w/ my own android phone a while back on games that aren't sky

[iron cipher]

Any fixes ?

[severe axle]

Hi. I found the Lenovo on sale past holiday a bit smaller then my 10 inch, which I miss that Digiland I got at Best Buy, but this 1 @ Walmart has other features I like. Well the screen shot option I have. It did get hot with this game a tiny bit long play time,but not too bad. It has other minor issues when typing in another game I have as well & this 1 too sort of from the 2 chat I got to do, but is not so bad. Not bad for the sale price of $59. Too much at $79. Lol. So gald tha tI got it on sale. If it was a 10 inch or more okay up to $100 Imo as it should not be more for such a tablet.

[pale lintel]

Hey I've been aware of the fact that on lower-end devices like my Samsung A50, which can't run sky at higher graphics settings, screenshots usually look noticeably better than gameplay (usually due to resolution/clarity), and I was wondering: if I were to upgrade to a higher end android phone that could handle max settings (regardless of what FPS it can achieve), are there any android phones where the difference between gameplay and screenshots become minimal/unnoticeable, or is the lower gameplay resolution a consistent theme for Android phones?

[pseudo patrol]

I have one of the best possible androids on the market right now (Galaxy S20) and the screenshot quality is nearly just as good as the gameplay. It's almost indistinguishable. Although discord itself is going to resize and crunch my photos down, here's a difference between the photo feature and a screenshot of mid-action. Hope this helps!

[tame comet]

Which model number of the S20? Looks like it might be a snapdragon model.

I.E. bad antialiasing

[pseudo patrol]

Hey just saw this yes I have a snapdragon processor :)

[tame comet]

It's really noticeable on the realm portals and the cape. Bad stair-stepping. It should be as smooth as the attached image (before the AA issues) check Vault portal door compared to your Isle of dawn portal door.

[pale lintel]

Ahh nice, thanks for the comparisons

[tame comet]

Until the snapdragon issue is fixed, I'd suggest staying away from snapdragon phones if your main goal is getting a device for Sky.

[karmic elk]

But I got snapdragon phone before I play Sky

I don't know Sky is a thing

[wind pollen]

How was the comparison between Exynos & Snapdragon Chipsets in regards to playing with Sky?

[tame comet]

Some Exynos have lag spikes. Snapdragon has played the game smoothly since launch. Recently, snapdragon had a huge quality hit due to antialiasing bug introduced in Sanctuary

[wind pollen]

I wonder how would Exynos 2100 with AMD GPU handle Sky?

[tame comet]

Probably better than the Exynos with Mediatek. They're known to have off screen rendering issues. (Example: the tons of off frame objects in Vault due to the first 3 floors being the same loading zone causes most Mediatek GPUs lag real bad in the first area of vault)

[wet dagger]

I have poco x2.

But The game runs in Terrible Graphics

How to fix it?

[wind pollen]

May I ask what is that bug around Sanctuary?

[tame comet]

Fun fact, the Adreno GPU in snapdragon are descendants of AMD technology. Qualcomm bought the Imageon mobile GPU tech from AMD back in 2012. Adreno is an Anagram of Radeon (AMD's GPU division.)

[wind pollen]

Depends on how you have set Sky Graphics,

[wet dagger]

I tried everysingle option

That battery cell, right?

[wind pollen]

Yeah, im not sure about this (so please correct me) Poco X2 has Adreno 618 which I think can only handle "High Def Mode 30fps"

[tame comet]

The antialiasing bug? During optimizations to fix the sanctuary screenshot crash, Snapdragon devices lost antialiasing. That's the technology to remove jagged edges by smoothing them out.

[wind pollen]

Ohhhhh, thanks for the detailed explanation.

[wet dagger]

Graphics on 2 Lighting Cells (That Battery Cell Option)

[wind pollen]

Im guessing Poco X2 has SD 730G?

[wet dagger]

Yes

It has 730g

[wind pollen]

Oooof, I think we might need some help from Uzephi that has intricate knowledge about SD, to explain some stuff.

[tame comet]

No way to fix it. TGC would need to revert some optimizations they made for lower end phones or enable better graphics options for higher end GPUs.

[wind pollen]

But the "High Def Mode 30fps" seems good enough tho @wet dagger

Atleast for my opinion it is good enough

[wet dagger]

On 2 Lighting Cells

[wet dagger]

Its like 144p

[karmic elk]

So some people need to suffer the anti Aliasing bug until upgrade to other Snapdragon phone which doesn't have that issue?

[tame comet]

Yes. This is a known issue with snapdragon devices. I'll show how it used to look compared to now. Lemme get my images ready

[wind pollen]

Now that i think about it, around Enchantment Days, it seems to me that it have a "kinda crisp" graphics to it

[tame comet]

What snapdragon devices looked like before...

[karmic elk]

This is after

[tame comet]

After

[wet dagger]

F

[karmic elk]

So some people need to suffer the anti Aliasing bug until upgrade to other Snapdragon phone which doesn't have that issue?

[tame comet]

Temperature before...

[karmic elk]

This is fake

Where's the temp safe guard?

[tame comet]

No, it's most likely an incorrect AA call. Only fix is microcode change on Qualcomm's end or TGC changing the AA call in the Vulkan renderer.

[wet dagger]

Will it ever get fixed

[tame comet]

I use a custom kernel that follows ARM safety temps, not the lowered Android temps. My phone can go up to 80°C since that is the max temp per ARM specs.

[karmic elk]

Ok this is what I want to know. It's fixable but not an priority issue

[wind pollen]

I'd suggest, posting a message here #wishlist-and-ideas-archived and providing constructive feedback here #live-feedback about the graphics settings

[wet dagger]

I don't have good enough grammar to do that

[karmic elk]

If advance setting/developer setting is on Sky

What will happen

[tame comet]

My phone would go back to 75°C.

[karmic elk]

Let's crank to Ray Tracing 1080p
..

The phone exploded

[wind pollen]

It's the thought that counts, so long as you made your point. If I'm not mistaken, Devs doesn't read this channel, so it's best to provide a direct feedback about it.

[broken umbra]

im having this issue too its sooooo annoying

i have a Galaxy S9

the graphics have been running so terrible.... for some reason, when i put a GPU monitoration, ot doesn't show anything when I try to detect on Vulkan API mode, but it shows when I try with OpenGL. Shouldn't the game work with Vulkan API???

[keen dock]

By terrible do you mean the game is laggy?

And yeah from what I heard the game uses Vulkan to render the graphics

[broken umbra]

no

[keen dock]

Your GPU needs at least Vulkan 1.0 support

[broken umbra]

only ugly 144p

yes

[keen dock]

What's the highest graphics option in the options menu?

The battery icon thing

You should get at least two or three bars

[broken umbra]

i have all options

[keen dock]

Hmm but the game still looks pixelated?

[broken umbra]

even 60fps and High Definition

yes

[keen dock]

Try this

Tap on the battery icon many times

And leave it on 60fps mode

Sometimes resetting the graphics option in Sky helps

[broken umbra]

i do that

[keen dock]

I haven't had any issues myself but I'm on Snapdragon

That problem is usually related to Exynos chips in Samsung devices

[broken umbra]

I'm snapdragon too

[keen dock]

Which sd

[broken umbra]

Snapdragon 845

[keen dock]

H

I'm 865 and it works well

[broken umbra]

but its not a question of CPU i think

i think its GPU

anyway, i have support for Vulkan API, shouldn't the game work with that?

[keen dock]

Yes

When did it start happening?

[broken umbra]

since the enchantment season

but I am getting the feeling that its worst now

look, the graphic shows "OpenGL"

[keen dock]

How do you have that analyzing popup

Is it an app?

[broken umbra]

when I try to see Vulkan API, no data appears

no, ots from the developer settings

its*

[keen dock]

Which option?

[broken umbra]

wait

i will put my phone in english

[keen dock]

I want to compare

I'm not on Samsung tho

I'm on OnePlus

[keen dock]

Oh I don't have that

It's samsung only

But

Did you try messing with the game graphics driver option

[broken umbra]

when I change the API to Vulkan, nothing appears on my screen

[broken umbra]

how

[keen dock]

Are you on android 10 or 11?

[broken umbra]

10

[keen dock]

Go to developer options

There's an option called "Graphics Driver Preference"

Look for sky in there

And set it to game driver

Or default

[broken umbra]

can u send me a screenshot?

[keen dock]

Maybe you don't have it cuz you have Samsung

I'm not sure

Are you sure you have Vulkan support

And are you rooted?

If you're rooted or on a custom ROM there's not much to do because it'd probably be related to that

[broken umbra]

yes I didnt find

im not rooted and yes im sure

[keen dock]

Hmm

Weird

So the game doesn't open when you use Vulkan?

Also what's your Vulkan version?

[broken umbra]

not exactly, the analysis doesnt show anything when I try to detect vulkan api rendering on sky

obly opengl

only*

i think its 1.0 lemme check

[keen dock]

I'm on 1.1 and don't have that issue

[broken umbra]

1.1.87 (?)

[keen dock]

Maybe it's gpuwatch that is weird

[broken umbra]

ye maybe

but it doesnt changes the fact that the graphics are sooo baf

bad

[keen dock]

I'm on 1.1.128

[broken umbra]

and they weren't

[keen dock]

Even on high def mode?

[broken umbra]

yes

[keen dock]

Do you have a game mode

On your phone

[broken umbra]

i can barely see any changes on this mode

i think so?

[keen dock]

My Games app has a feature to improve shadows and graphics and it helps

[broken umbra]

no i dont have that

[keen dock]

And you're not on battery saver right?

[broken umbra]

ofc not xD

[keen dock]

I sometimes play on battery saver 👀

[broken umbra]

lol

[keen dock]

Luckily it still works fine and looks nice

[broken umbra]

im on optmized mode

[keen dock]

Maybe it's just Sky being dumb

[broken umbra]

but there is high optmized... i never trying playing on that I guess?

[keen dock]

There's always bugs

Hmm try

[broken umbra]

ye thats truth

damn my battery will dye xD

die*

nah nvm

[keen dock]

Just see if it changes

Or makes a difference

[broken umbra]

it only changes the bright and screen resolution

it wont affect the game

[keen dock]

Hm

Well I guess it's Sky related

Not much you can do

[broken umbra]

ye -.-

[keen dock]

Maybe wait for an update

[broken umbra]

i dont think it will be fixed soon

[keen dock]

Who knows

We'll just have to wait and see

[broken umbra]

im waiting for almost 1 year

idk .-.

[keen dock]

They have very few developers

Compared to the rest of the staff

Sadly

There's so many bugs but they can't fix everything

It depends on things like your device manufacturer and etc

Not easy

But let's hope they do fix it

[broken umbra]

yeah

i think if u put it in battery saving mode u will have my graphics or something close to that

but the game isnt lagging or anything like that

only blurry and pixelated

if they put more possibilities for us to make our own settings for shadows and light, etc, it would be already a big help

[keen dock]

I doubt they will

It took them like 2 years to put in audio settings cx

Very basic options

Just two buttons

Not even a slider

[broken umbra]

ye lol

[past arrow]

An example of relatively quite good image quality of a snapdragon device (Pixel 5, without discord compression it's much crisper)

[tame comet]

Those aliasing lines.

[past arrow]

There were no aliasing lines before at all?

[tame comet]

None

Similar zoom before the AA bug crept up.

[past arrow]

It looks almost like an iPhone screenshot

[tame comet]

Yeah, hard to believe it was taken by a Pixel 3a

[patent kernel]

Can't unsee those

[tame comet]

Ooo, found some old in game video footage. I wish Snapdragon phones still looked this good...

[patent kernel]

Yeah, I really hate seeing aliasing lines all the time, the graphics are so grainy

[pale lintel]

Hey another quick question, anyone know what sort of graphics settings I'd be able to achieve on a device with a snapdragon 750g such as the Samsung A52 5G?

[tame comet]

30 fps boosted def mode.

[fast hearth]

Hello

Is there any graphics setting in the game?

[hollow tree]

U mean the battery icon with ⚡⚡⚡ inside?

[fast hearth]

No , that is to control to the fbs , what i mean is the graphic, like HD or Ultra HD with HDR

[true trellis]

As far as I know, that's the only graphics setting in the game, like what @hollow tree described

Or have I missed something?

[hollow tree]

Nah u beat me in typing race

[fast hearth]

Thank you, I appreciate 🙏🏻❤

[sleek torrent]

Man the screenshots before looked sooo goood

[true trellis]

The anti aliasing issue is only on SD chipsets? Or Android, in general?

[patent kernel]

Snapdragon only from what I know

[tame comet]

Through testing over 25 devices (credits to DreamFyre for the due diligence) we can say with our small sample size, only snapdragon are affected.

There might be a one off non-snapdragon that has the issue but all other Android CPUs tested were okay.

[sleek torrent]

My Exynos takes low detail screenshots

But without pixelation

I'm looking down at you mortals 😂😂

That pose

[true trellis]

This was taken on a Huawei Nova 5T device with High Performance Mode 60fps, looks good enough for my opinion

But then Discord might blur it out a lil bit 😂

[tame comet]

I miss taking screenshots of that quality.

[patent kernel]

The aliasing lines throw me off, I really want better quality

[true trellis]

It's kinda good enough for my opinion but then again, 60fps will drain my battery fast, so I always set it at either Def Mode 30fps or High Def Mode 30fps and it's still okay, for my opinion

[winged wave]

Is there any Vivo Y20s G users here? Is the phone good for playing sky? and what graphics settings can it reach?

[hollow tree]

I asked my friend who always take great pictures up until now, she use huawei/honor (i forgot). Photo quality is good like yours!
Me here crying in snapdragon

[true trellis]

I used Huawei during Enchantment-Sanctuary and changed to Samsung during Prophecy-Dreams and went back to Huawei on Assembly cos I never liked Sky playthru on Samsung and ngl, for my experience Huawei had more great Sky pictures taken than it was on Samsung.

If only Huawei P40 Lineup or Mate 30/40 Lineup had Sky with IAP Shop on them. 😞

[cursive merlin]

@hollow tree Snapdragon processor good tho 😅 and I have Exynos , graphic is so blurry

[hollow tree]

Ee? I thought exynos didn't have that bug

[cursive merlin]

@hollow tree what bug?

[hollow tree]

The blurry pixelated screenshot

I read this one btw

[cursive merlin]

@hollow tree oh...! I didn't know that bug or Snapdragon have some issue

@hollow tree can you send screenshot here?

[tame comet]

#android-questions message

[cursive merlin]

@tame comet I see

@tame comet i have in game graphics like this 😅

[tame comet]

What Exynos device?

[cursive merlin]

9609

[tame comet]

That's a pretty low power GPU. The game might have turned off anti-aliasing to prevent huge lag spikes.

[cursive merlin]

@tame comet I know its not that powerfull GPU,even SD 669 has good in game graphics compare to Exynos

@tame comet now I think I should have buy a iOS 😅

[fast hearth]

Same

[tame comet]

Apple could give me a gold brick and I would still choose Android and just wait for Switch version to launch.

Okay, maybe I would take the offer and resell the iOS phone and get a top of the line Android and a switch.

[hollow tree]

Today vs April 19th 2020.
Poco F1 both on ⚡⚡⚡mode

[cursive merlin]

@hollow tree I see

I think it's game problem not device

Tgc should optimize for android

[tame comet]

I miss 60 fps option. My Pixel 3a (Snapdragon 670) had 60 fps option available during enchantment and somewhere down the road it disappeared.

[cursive merlin]

We are now in 10milion club so they know by now android have potential for this game but they didn't take any action about graphics

[tame comet]

To be fair, I benched it by forcing 60 fps and it averaged 42fps with the max being 54 fps and min being 34 fps, so it's obvious why they disabled it.

[patent kernel]

Pretty sure android has worse graphics compared to ios in general, not just sky

[true trellis]

Here I am waiting for a Switch release

[hollow tree]

Yes but it used to be so good

[cursive merlin]

@patent kernel android have good graphics if you buy higher model like 845-888

[true trellis]

Sky-wise, devs had a lot of time to optimize it on IOS since it's originally an IOS game.

maybe someday, just maybe someday, Sky on Android will be better

[hollow tree]

845 here still suffering

[cursive merlin]

@hollow tree other game Is 845 I see no issues with graphics

[hollow tree]

Ah right

[cursive merlin]

In android phones I only rely on Snapdragon

Haha...! It will get long discussion ,😂

Thank you for chatting @hollow tree @true trellis @tame comet

[true trellis]

Well, Snapdragon is a beast of a chipset there's no denying that.

[sleek torrent]

Oh, so previously even weaker GPUs could run at 60? Dammmm

I really wish we'll get advanced graphic settings

It can show a warning that it'll cause more bugs heating and battery drain

And feature a reset all switch

[true trellis]

Right now, the best bet would be Switch

[tame comet]

I just wonder if my Switch GPU being overclocked to 1400Mhz would make a difference for Sky.

[sleek torrent]

😂

4K UHD Ultra HDR 120fps

[hollow tree]

I hope they can optimize the graphic for switch

Even on handheld. Cry in switch lite

[tame comet]

Most likely. It's easier to optimize when you have literally one chipset to worry about.

[sleek torrent]

Cry in no switch

[sleek torrent]

How'd you manage the temps

[true trellis]

Switch lite seems to have the same specs as the standard Switch, does it?

[hollow tree]

Yea this made my expectations flyyy

[hollow tree]

On handheld mode yes... No comparing with dock plz

[true trellis]

Expectations go nyoooom 😆

[tame comet]

I.... Might have removed the case and added some more metal fins to the heatsink... I highly advise against anything I do to my switch. I worked for a chip maker for a few years and have lengthy experience with micro electronics. If you don't have this experience, please leave your device alone.

[true trellis]

I just leave my device as it is, cos I might mess it up if I try to tweak or tinker it 😆

[tame comet]

first edition Switch used the T210 Tegra X1 which had a hardware flaw that was exploited. The Switch lite and any switch made after that with patched hardware use the T214 Tegra X1. The main difference besides closing the security hole is the T210 is only specc'd for 1000Mhz while the T214 can go up to 1267Mhz

Oh, the clock speeds are in reference to the GPU clocks. CPU had the same clocks

[true trellis]

As always., thank you for providing intricate details

[sleek torrent]

As if I have a switch lying around with some copper heatplates 😂

[sleek torrent]

Well, a picture of your mod won't hurt I guess 🙃

I have tried to build liquid/passive cooler but was never successful

[hollow tree]

Random question.. is the rumor of chipset being rare nowadays true? Switch price in my country has been 📈idk if that contributes or only monster hunter rise hype

[sleek torrent]

You mean the chip shortage?

[hollow tree]

Oo yea forgive my bad english

[sleek torrent]

Ah, not everyone gets the correct term, it's fine

But I really don't know much about the chip shortage

[sleek torrent]

Just came to know that Tegra X1 has a 256 core GPU

I can't belive such a powerhouse is used for playing Mario kart 🤣

[true trellis]

Random question, what controller/s would you suggest if you have Galaxy Tab S7/S7+?

[sleek torrent]

We need a list of compatible controllers 🤔

I definitely have a list of cheap phones which support 60fps hehe

[true trellis]

Do tell

[hollow tree]

@true trellis

[odd nebula]

can someone help me please ?

i cant signing in

[karmic elk]

wha?

[gloomy thorn]

1. Make sure you are signed into a Game Center or Gmail account on your device, whichever was linked to your Sky profile. If you are not signed in, you wont see your progress.

2. If you are already signed in, try visiting the Account menu to see if you just need to restore your progress. There should be an option to abandon the new account and replace it with the original.

3. If none of these options work, please Contact TGC Support as soon as possible. A customer support agent will review your case and see what they can do to help.

[fast hearth]

new sony xperia has 4k 120hz hdr screen

but unfortunately it works in 0% of all games

[fast hearth]

as ik switch gets the same amount of points in geekbench 5 as snap 835

so switch is not really promising

i guess

is 888 better than switch soc?

[past arrow]

Geek bench is good for reference, but there are so many other variables.

[hollow tree]

Isn't 888 the highest tier atm?

[fast hearth]

its but

idk about tegra x1

if its more or less powerful than 888

[hollow tree]

It's kinda old i think, but I'm hoping the game can be optimized very well in switch, cuz like uzephi said they only need to worry about one type of chipset (compared to android)

[fast hearth]

Can anyone tell me why the sky graphics look dull compare to ios i have 855 plus still it doesn't look good

[past arrow]

Snapdragon issue please scroll up to yesterday's posts, the discussion starts about here: #android-questions message

Basically it's because android fragmentation and better phones image quality is sacrificed in order making sky available on midrange models. You can tell your constructive feedback about it in #live-feedback and wish for better graphics in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived . The more we feedback the more likely Devs could take into consideration.

[sleek torrent]

Jeez I know

[fast hearth]

Ignore me

I usually tell some obvious things or smt

[fast hearth]

Is it only with snapdragon?

What about mediatek, kirin, exynos

[karmic elk]

Some Snapdragon chipset

[past arrow]

Because of android fragmentation (so many different screen ratios and resolutions) the screen is s bit always upscaled therefore never will be as good as iphones but in some Snapdragon devices the aliasing issue is very noticeable

[fast hearth]

Also I've seen some thing

U know cutscenes are in 21:9

My phone also has 21:9 screen without notch or punch hole

But when there's cutscene, about 5 or 7 pixels get cutted on the top part

So it's like thin black line

like

cutscenes are 21:9

my phone 21:9

but cutscenes still get cropped a little bit on the top side

[karmic elk]

@past arrow I think he mean the cutscene is not fit to the full screen

[fast hearth]

yes

im bad at explaining things

im idiot

[past arrow]

True, all cutscenes are cropped too

[jagged helm]

are the awful, pixelated quality screenshots found in every phone with snapdragon processors? or just low-end ones

[hollow tree]

@jagged helm

[fervent stone]

The higher ends are affected too, not just lower end ones

[jagged helm]

ok, thanks!

[plucky nimbus]

Is 56 mbps good for playing sky?

[past arrow]

As I already mentioned in other topic, ping counts better

I've seen good megabytes/sec with over 100ms ping so download speed in itself doesn't count

[plucky nimbus]

I didnt wanna ping anyone since i was my first time asking a question here. Anyway thanks for the info.

[past arrow]

Lol ping is a measurement number for your connection which shows your connection 'reaction time' so to speak having nothing to do with pinging someone in forums. As I mentioned do a speedtest.net and see your ping measurement.

This way you can sort out if you had wax lag or you were at the last few candles of your zero bar in sanctuary

[plucky nimbus]

Omg! Lol. Im a child when it comes to these matters. Thank you for the clarification.

Mine is just 30 ms ping. Is that good?

[past arrow]

Not good, not bad either. 30ms means it can be higher sometimes and that's not good for sure. With that you can but don't necessarily have wax lag

Good connections have 10-15ms ping, excellent is below 10ms

[spiral gorge]

Hello! I want to install the game on my PC since I don't have PS and dislike mobile gaming. I installed BlueStacks Android emulator and it runs Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus emulation, but PlayMarket says that both my Xiaomi real phone and Sansung emulation on PC don't support Sky application. There are a bunch of available devices to emulate in BlueStacks, but I wonder what is the list of devices that can run Sky. I can't find a list of supported devices in AppStore

[upper sail]

Using emulators is against the Sky TOS, @spiral gorge. Please don’t use or discuss emulators here.

[spiral gorge]

Oh my. Still, what is the list of devices that can run it? Maybe I'll check that list when I'll by a tablet. There is only android version required in AppStore

[keen dock]

You can't play it on an emulator because there are no Android 8.0+ emulators out there

[upper sail]

Using emulators is against the Sky TOS, @keen dock. Please don’t use or discuss emulators here.

[keen dock]

And the game only runs on Android 8.0 or higher

You need Vulkan 1.0 support

PowerVR GPU's are not well supported so I don't recommend those

I wouldn't recommend tablets for Sky either

They're generally weak in specs

And Sky is an intensive game

[karmic elk]

Go buy a Mac

And stop talking about it as it breaks TOS

[keen dock]

Macs don't support Sky either?

Only iOS

And Macs run macOS

[patent kernel]

Certain macs can run sky

[karmic elk]

M1 chip is arm so if you have a m1 chip Mac you can play it

[keen dock]

But macOS is not iOS

[spiral gorge]

I dislike iOS, I'm kinda more Linux/Windows fan

[keen dock]

How would you download the game

[patent kernel]

Macs with a m1 chip can run sky, regardless of it not being ios.

[karmic elk]

If you are windows fan, you need to Actually wait PC release one day

M1 Macs can run iOS apps natively.

[patent kernel]

Exactly

[keen dock]

"Natively"

You will never get the same performance

But sure

I'm afraid you're out of options @spiral gorge

Only iOS and Android rn

Oh and switch

In june

[karmic elk]

Samsung are the only oem have high end tablets on market

[keen dock]

There are 0 news on the PC release

I wouldn't count on it anytime soon

[spiral gorge]

I still don't understand how my OS preferences (actually, this is Android questions section) matches with my question about devices supported by this app. Like, why my Xiaomi can't run it

[karmic elk]

What model your xiaomi phone have?

[karmic elk]

Hey, 2077 it will release eventually

[keen dock]

Lol

I don't think they will release it on pc

To be honest

[spiral gorge]

Redmi Note 4

[keen dock]

Because of the pc community

It would bring a lot of toxicity

It explains why they chose Switch

[karmic elk]

It will since iPad pro have M1 chip on it I think.

[keen dock]

Instead of PS4/PS5

[keen dock]

It doesn't have Android 8.0 support

So you can't install the game

[karmic elk]

It only supports to 7

[keen dock]

Simple as that really

You need a Android 8.0 or higher compatible phone/tablet

[karmic elk]

Becuase the 7 ate 8

[keen dock]

And even then there's no guarantee it'll run the game without lag 🤷

[karmic elk]

Yeah, Snapdragon 625.

And Adreno 506

[keen dock]

Probably need at least a 700 series

And it would still have no 60fps support

[karmic elk]

I can play sky on my 665

Oc dealing with lag

But with the motion blur it won't very noticeable

[keen dock]

I wish they let us disable motion blur

[patent kernel]

My phone is a Snapdragon 675, and sometimes I get lag. When I was in Sanctuary today, my fps dropped, then raised, then dropped again

[karmic elk]

And heck even I see my screen moving on 60 fps until I check it was 25

[keen dock]

I'm on 865 and the game hasn't stuttered a single time even on 60fps xD

[patent kernel]

I usually play on boosted graphics, 30 fps

[karmic elk]

Becuase of motion blur it doesn't impact to me

[keen dock]

I play on normal 60fps

[keen dock]

And sometimes normal 30fps

Lol

[past arrow]

Graphics highly depend on GPU in Sky, not cpu. Your GPU may be struggling (and medium connection makes it even worse).

[karmic elk]

Technically macs are pc

But macs can't get pc viruses

[keen dock]

You get mac viruses

Instead

[patent kernel]

Yeah. The thing is, I almost always have 1-2 bars of mobile data, having 1 bar makes me have constant server splits and high ping. A lot of times my internet is like this too

[past arrow]

Boosted graphics also show that your GPU is not strong because strong GPU devices have 60fps and high def, not boosted def mode. Try sanctuary in normal mode, you won't notice that much of a difference but it should be smoother.

[patent kernel]

Yeah I did have normal mode on for a little while as I was there, didn't lag

[karmic elk]

If you are going to heavy scenes try to lower the quality battery thing

But If you have very weak gpu that can play sky it won't make much difference

[past arrow]

Yes true. I might add that battery saver mode should be more laggy / Lower fps than normal mode because on that setting the battery is priority

[keen dock]

It lowers the fps cap to 24

Instead of 30

Which reduces heating

And also lowers the resolution

So you can't see anything

[patent kernel]

Low res makes the graphics more grainy than it already is, I hate it

[keen dock]

It looks like a PS1 game haha

Just need the CRT tv

And it's a perfect combo

[patent kernel]

My phone also has Adreno 612 GPU, so it can't have 60 fps mode

[past arrow]

On my Google Pixel 2 the battery saver has very poor graphics with noticable fps drop, on my Pixel 5 it' OK but resolution can vary from surprisingly quite smooth to aliasing flood depending on connection and server load. I never use that mode except for long chatting.

Hi

[tame comet]

My "mod" was only adding some copper to the ends of the current heatsink and I was able to reassemble the switch. I didn't get images... If I ever take it apart for anything else, I'll take internal images and DM them to you. Right now the only "mod" you can see is the fan I have bolted to the side of my dock for air flow.

[void sandal]

can a J6+ run sky?

[past arrow]

No because it's 32bit.

You need a 64bit device with decent GPU. Check pins for further device requirements!

[naive gorge]

Can Redmi 7A run sky?

[hollow tree]

@naive gorge

[sleek torrent]

What? Samsung galaxy tab s7, s7+,S6

[sleek torrent]

That's a mod Everyone uses Dreamfyre had even shown his fan for the Samsung FE

Imagine this on flagship androids

When I try to do screen recording, 80% of the time Google Play's Recording ap crashes and tells me i have no front facing camera. Anyone else experienced this?

Who is chip maker? U solder or program chips or create them?

[fast hearth]

Oh sorry I forgot

[sleek torrent]

I want to see that on the 4k Xperia

Sky at 4k 🤯

[fast hearth]

Xperia 1 ii also has 4k and sky doesnt work at 4k

But there's sd865

[past arrow]

Do you have factory pre-installed Google app store and download everything from there? Try android 11 built-in recorder or a third party app

[sleek torrent]

I know aaaaa

[fast hearth]

ik that u know disregard thus ksjjkjsksjs

[sleek torrent]

Wow it's been calm

[fleet marsh]

The music has been cutting out a lot in my game. The third note of the title scene is always interrupted and the music in valley of triumph just kinda cuts off some times and then comes back on a few minutes later.

Any known fixes for this?

[past arrow]

Restart app, do #report-a-live-bug

[tame comet]

TGC logo has never fully worked on Android. You're lucky if you get past the first note.

[past arrow]

Oh my. I never experienced such on my pixel 2 or 5. That must be disturbing

[velvet wharf]

My phone just updated to android 11 and now all the game text is larger than before. Is there any way to make it smaller?

[rocky grove]

Maybe try refreshing it since that usually happens to me

If it still doesn't work then idk

[velvet wharf]

I've played it several times since the update and it stays the same size

[rocky grove]

Oh

Maybe your phone updated it?

Try to see if there's text adjustments in your phone

[velvet wharf]

I dont think so, everything else is the same

Just sky is bigger text

[rocky grove]

oh-

well um I don't really know what you should do, sorry-

[past arrow]

You can try to change font size phone settings. Or try this eventual fix for large text Android by DreamFyre
#android-questions message
Not sure these workarounds will work, but you might give it a try until Sky finds a way or your phone manufacturer fixes the problem

[velvet wharf]

That worked thanks!

[shell imp]

When I attempt to use the ingame video recorder I get this message. Does anybody know what I should do?

[past arrow]

Try to use Android 11 built-in or a third party recorder

[shell imp]

But I don't want to use a third party recorder, I want to be able to use the ingame one like before

Google support was of NO help. They said Sky didn't have a record feature... 🙄🙃

[hollow tree]

I believe that ingame screen recorder feature was from google
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/6274965?hl=en
I always use my native screen recorder, i tried the ingame one just earlier still works tho..
Maybe #bug-reports-android ?

[karmic elk]

Use the bulit in screen recorder. Because Android 10 and 11 have bundle it depends on OEM. It always works without issue and it's optimized to record smoother depends your OEM

[hollow tree]

What i like about the native one is they don't have that google play games logo

[tame comet]

Native one records your screen resolution also. G Play games one is limited to 720p and has a lower bitrate.

[karmic elk]

Google Play Games
Pro:Nothing
Con:
-720p or 480p
-Lower Bitrate
-Buggy Software

Native Recorder
Pro:
-Native Resolution
-High Bitrate
-FPS caper
-No Watermark
-Optimized
Con:
Nothing?

[hollow tree]

The pro is if u want to record your face along with the gameplay 😂

[karmic elk]

If for a let's play it will be useful but if you have crappy front camera

Also these days native recorder also have that feature on it

[hollow tree]

Oh mine doesn't, didn't know about this

[karmic elk]

And on Android 11 native recorder and some third party can record internal audio

Google Play games recorder doesn't

[fast hearth]

Built in screen says that I don't have enough space

But it's 15 gb free

[sleek torrent]

😂

[fast hearth]

What should I do?

[sleek torrent]

Well

You'll have to use third party then

[hollow tree]

Is the video saved in right storage (15gb free)?

[fast hearth]

Yes I have only one

[fast hearth]

Wdym

[hollow tree]

Install another screen recording app?

[fast hearth]

They have watermarks and bad quality

And no game sound

[tame comet]

If your device can handle the added compute overhead, you could look into a PC solution using screen mirror and audio routing features of Android. Scrcpy and sndcpy are two good solutions. It does need some "extra work" to get set up, but once you do, it's literally running a batch file and poof, your screen can be on your PC, then you can use an app like OBS to capture the scrcpy window.

[fast hearth]

Do android 10 support these things?

[tame comet]

If your device is already maxed out playing sky, you might get dropped frames to your PC, though, causing stutters in your recording

Yes, screen mirroring was introduced in Android 7.0

[fast hearth]

Ok

Also is it possible to upgrade my phone to android 11?

If it's officialy can't be

[tame comet]

DSUs/GSIs through Treble might work, but then you'll most likely fail CTS making installing sky impossible. That's also out of the scope for this server.

[fast hearth]

Oh ok

[fast hearth]

U once told u were a chip maker
What this Job is what were u doing there

Just interesting

Im interested in electronics

[tame comet]

QA and binning

[fast hearth]

Ic

[tame comet]

After a wafer was done being processed, I would be the one checking for anomalies and ensuring they worked within specs and properly binned them.

[fast hearth]

I want to work for some micro architecture company in future

Now I'm learning to work with this stuff on simple circuits with shift registers and transistors

[tame comet]

I migrated from clean room stuff to software and delved into the downward spiral called the Linux kernel... It really is a good thing to study up on if you want to work with hardware since that is the lowest level you can get before dealing with the hardware itself or firmware... And good luck on finding an OEM that will let you see the source code of their firmware.

[fast hearth]

Also im making some power electronics like motor controllers and push pull power sources or amplifiers

[sleek torrent]

Aaah that's why you were talking talking lot about binning, makes sense

[dawn vessel]

Hello I have a Galaxy Tab A and am trying to download the game from GG play store. It said my device is not comparable but I have checked the req, my Android is ver 10, 128GB, 3GB RAM. 💀 is there a way to get the game or I should just give up?

[hollow tree]

Probably not

the minimum required specs:

Android 8.1 Oreo or higher
ARM 64bit with Neon (32 bit devices will never run Sky)
At least 1.5GB RAM
OpenGLES 3.1 Extension Pack
Vulkan Version 1.0.3 or higher
Vulkan Level 0 or higher
3GB storage to download and install all areas

[dawn vessel]

alright ty, I give up then

[hollow tree]

I don't know which one doesn't meet the requirements tho, but if playstore says no maybe can't

[sleek torrent]

@dawn vessel is it 32 bit?

Many A series devices are 32 bit

[digital finch]

I suggest waiting for another quick update since it said the same for my sisters phone a qhile bakc only for it to work again after an update so who knows!

Because i have the samsung galaxy note 9 so yourse should work if mine does since i have an older version than you

[hollow tree]

Galaxy Note 9 is a strong phone

[mint vale]

umm anyone know if google pixel can run sky

the very first pixel model

[dawn vessel]

where can I check 32bit or 64bit?

[hollow tree]

@mint vale seems like a yes

[mint vale]

yay

[past arrow]

Galaxy tab A is 32bit

[past arrow]

If your app is from official Google play store source, do #report-a-live-bug and wait for fix! (Channel is read only, press the fire emoji on bottom and Skybot will contact you)

[velvet cove]

Hey guys, anyone here playing sky and other games (mainly question about sky) on the galaxy tab A7? If so, how does it perform? My little sister loves sky but sadly her old iphone struggles with it and i wanted to get her a tablet to play on. Does it lag for you or runs smoothly? Does it freeze or crash? Thank you for any answers ^^

[past arrow]

Hello! See pro Android helper Uzephi's response about the A7 tab here:
#android-questions message

Just be sure it's 64bit (don't buy 32bit version, if any of such exists for that model)

[velvet cove]

This is is appreciated, however I wanted to hear from first hand experience rather than speculations. I know it's capable of running it, but I'd like to ask someone who does play about how their experience is like

[past arrow]

If you want to see first hand experiences you'd have better luck to ask in different times in #general-sky-discussion That topic has more users active

[south goblet]

Anywhere listed 60 fps specs?

Hey friend

I'd recommend the base model ipad

There's no other android tab that can runs sky well at that price

I'm looking something under £260 to be honest.
