Hey everyone.
I recently bought a new Android TV (newly known as Google TV) and suddenly something came to my mind; that if CIU has an Android version, is it applicable on Android TV too?
So I tried and boom. Let’s check it out:
Firstly, most android TV’s have 32 bit operating system so i downloaded 32 bit apk from forum link.
Secondly, it was perfectly running on TV! That i didn’t expect it to not crash/error in first run… Everything was running like PC version
BUT As you guess, there was some problems:
1- game was laggy in explosions and universe zoom in/outs… first one fixed by reducing graphics to low and enabling pro mode. But secound one still exists and i think it’s not that important… Anyway you can see FPS is near 20 in picture below:
2- The most important problem: game supports gamepads Partially!! I used to play with my Xbox one gamepad in my PC and it was working like a charm but sadly it seems that android version is not fully supporting controllers, just movements are working and click/fire/bomb/etc not working at all.
The amazing thing is that TV remote is works too just in movements that I wasn’t expecting that at all! But only movements and back button works and Click/fire is not working.(not important cause everyone uses controllers anyway)
So i used my mouse to go inside game and try few things… Movements are working good, online multiplayer works good too. Low graphics is lag-free and game screen has no problems (picture below)
Only needs some improvement in controller support and bang! Your game is now available for TVs too.
Hope you consider this, my TV is Xiaomi Q2 with similar specifications with other Android TVs like Sony, etc. this market is expanding and available games in store are few, so while your game is already compatible, just fix controll support and everything is ready👍🏻.
