    Device Performance Information

  • Disabling Pixel Rounding made no difference. I am trying targeting a lower Android version....

  • Very little going on in the profiler. On my laptop which has an integrated gpu, gpu doesn’t go above 3!! Its one layout, one non scrolling view port and 80 ish objects.

  • I know, another performance thread. It must be all my fault etc. My game has 80 objects, no layer or sprite effects - and is just a spinning target into which I throw daggers at targets. I am running a Doogee N20. Not the fastest phone in the world but plays 2d games silky smooth. My game is janky as hell. Most of my events are timer driven or trigger once. And I am disabling groups which aren't needed every tick and enabling them if I need to check state. I shouldn't need to be ruthlessly optimising such a simple game. 80 objects and 350 events.

    I have no choice but to try and recreate the game in GMS2 or Godot, just so I can see the difference for myself.

    I even scaled down all my sprites, removed animation frames - and ensured all objects being spawned are on the layout at the start.

    I even tried not using the Pin behaviour, but making objects children in the hierarchy ... That made things worse.

  • Thanks. While in a while loop I was moving the positions, checking for overlap until no overlap found. At the top of each while loop I was selecting sprites. Every 50 iterations I was destroying an object to make the overlap test work better. Then when re-picking at the top of while loop...destroyed objects were still there. I ended up simply marking them for disposal with a variable and killing them in the next event.

  • Cheers Ashley. Construct rocks!

  • Ok, thanks...must be a bug of my own making then

  • Hi,

    I seem to have issues if I try and create objects in a while loop, and then in the very next event try to select from them based on the randomised variables I added.

    The only way I can get it work is to apply this logic separately on the next tick, by placing it above the original event, the only issue is it was in a setup function, but now I have to take that logic out of the function. I have encountered this a few times, for example you cant seem to destroy objects in a while loop and assume they aren't there in the next iteration.

  • Try Construct 3

  • My simple game runs like a dog with 3 legs on my Android. I have added some metrics including number of objects (80 ish) and CPU and GPU utilisation. CPU hits 60 on my phone but the GPU utilisation shows NaN. I checked Chrome://gpu on my phone, and Web GL and Web GL2 are hardware accelerated as is the canvas. Maybe my game runs like a dog because the APK somehow isnt targeting the GPU? My phone is a Doogee N20, it can play things like Modern Warfare (albeit badly), so I dont get why I get lag in my simple dagger throwing game. But maybe NaN is a clue? GPU utilisation is 3 on my laptop, and that has an integrated card.

  • Hi,

    I am having some weird logic errors when I come back from a reward ad. Do all actions and events continue to run in the background, or is Construct clever enough to pause everything while an ad is playing?

    Wondering if I need to handle it myself?

    Regards

  • Hi,

    What is the minimum Android version you target? I think I read Admob new SDK requires version 9.0, not sure what version of the SDK construct integrates with. I obviously dont want to alienate users because of aiming too high, but don't want any issues with the Admob service.

    Regards
