📱 Android (experimental preview)

[iIfireIi]

I’d like to attempt running it on Android x86 soon (Yes, they have a 64 version, x86 is just the name ig), but for some reason, it won’t work now

I also saw that you can’t type on Multiplayer.

@hieudang

no need to think about competitive

Sometime i can’t take my time to online by PC.

@Fractorial

Thing is, you can connect a mouse and keyboard to your phone and probably play it just as fine as the PC version.

Can you tell me how to do that?

[VerMishelb]

@Knightcap

Can you tell me how to do that?

OTG connection. Or a Bluetooth device.

[InterAction_studios]

@VerMishelb

This is an even bigger problem now due to contrast changes

Noted.

@neonep

5.1, is it incompatible?

It’s probably because your device is 32-bit. 64-bit is required.

@Starbrockle

I tried downloading the app on my phone, but it didn’t work for me

@MinhDuc2k5

I couldn’t install that game

Do you have a 64-bit device? I forgot to include this in the requirements.

@VerMishelb

There is some weird flickering when I exit the game, right after clicking “yes” on “are you sure?” window

How exactly do you “exit the game”? There’s no “close” button on the main menu.

@VerMishelb

Shouldn’t the network predictor (is it still called like that?) be attached to the ship itself instead

Noted

@VerMishelb

if we drag out of the game window, it doesn’t detect the movement there

Noted

@trueuser

i thought he changed publishers and resolved the problem (iirc)

I will eventually use a different publisher. But the deal is not finalized yet. Besides, the whole point of this version is rapid iteration, and I can’t do that if I publish through ANY app store.

@Fractorial

It would be nice if the black space/letter (in this pic, from both sides) would be filled

You can turn off “letterbox” to make it stretch

@minhle07

I’m using an armv7 and I can’t install the game. Is it expected?

Yes, armv7 is 32-bit and the game requires arm64 (64-bit)

@Knightcap

Because playing on Mobile and on PC have a lot of the differences

This is a hard problem. I would split the leaderboards into two, except there are people who will play with mouse or external keypad, or through emulation, and I’m not exactly sure if/how to detect these cases. For fairness, right now mobile players play under the same rules as desktop. And yes, it’s harder.

@LaserLite

hey how could i possibly make it 120hz

Your settings seem correct. However, your device is currently running at 45fps at this very simple menu, which makes it highly unlikely that it will ever achieve 120fps.

@Piotrek1113

Was doing some recordings and while fighting Henlley Comet the app crashed. Not sure if it’s game or mulitiplayer-related crash.

I can’t get crash reports yet. But I’ll eventually look into it.

@PlasmaX

I also saw that you can’t type on Multiplayer.

Right. I don’t know how that would even work yet.

[VerMishelb]

@InterAction_studios

How exactly do you “exit the game”? There’s no “close” button on the main menu.

“Back” button triggers the exit event.

[InterAction_studios]

@VerMishelb

“Back” button triggers the exit event.

Noted. It’s unintended, I’ll remove it.

[Neonova_Solara]

@InterAction_studios

I’ll try to find an Android 5.1 device for testing.

an emulator should work

[VerMishelb]

Suggestion about solving the multiplayer chat: quick messages. You preset a bunch of messages, maybe even using some arguments like player name or firepower level, and then just get some kind of radial menu for quick chatting.

[InterAction_studios]

Right. But the problem eventually turned out that it’s a 32-bit device.

Incidentally, given that Google Play will reject apps that include 32-bit support, I don’t see the game ever supporting armv7 (32-bit) smartphones.

[Lynette]

@Neonova_Solara

an emulator should work

not really, since most emulator nowadays run in Android 7,8,9+, really hard to find an old one.

[PlasmaX]

@InterAction_studios

I don’t know how that would even work yet

You can add a button. That’s all I got.

[Piotrek1113]

Just recorded the flickering closing

CIU Android Flicker - YouTube (better watching it in 720p60fps)

[InterAction_studios]

This way of quitting the game was only meant for debug, and will soon be removed.

[ordinary_ryxt]

can the game run natively on x64
just wondering

[OfficalK12]

really

it’s alr 64-bit device

[ordinary_ryxt]

you know App not installed can be due to anything don’t you

[Neonova_Solara]

And I think you should add a text box which will call out mobile’s keyboard instead of this built-in, because I cannot see the @ symbol

[ordinary_ryxt]

@Neonova_Solara

I cannot see the @ symbol

[OfficalK12]

i know but i post if problem can solved
