Some Games on Drastic Make Phone SLOW Even After closing

Post by mckimiaklopa » Sat Jan 25, 2014 6:09 pm

With Drastic,I could play a lot of games full speed on my phone w/o frameskip(phone has mt6577 chipset)
But on same games(namely TWEWY zeelda:phantom hourglass) my system becomes slow after playing these.

For instance on TWEWY with frameskip off,everything is smooth on field but after the first battle,fields are now slower

On zelda,it happens immediately on the opening

When I choose another game after playing either of the above,Drastic is noticeably slower and when I close Drastic,the slowness and lag is carried over to my phone.Only workaround is a reboot

i would love to blame your processor being a mediatek. however,i hvae little evidence that suggest this so maybe using some task manager that flushes your ram can help?

Hm,... From a programmer-perspective I'd say,... It is possible that there is a bug.
Things like that usually happen either if there is some kind of overflow, or an issue where a task has to wait for something... (but never gets an answer, for example and there's no timeout implemented...)

Could be anything else,... Just a shot into the blue/dark.

@mckimiaklopa: Which Version of drastic do you have (installed)?
Gplay-, Beta- or some downloaded Version?

Well,I always make sure that no background process is running via dev. options.It happens to me on all non-beta versions

If it stays slow afterwards it's something in something else in your phone/OS, not the emulator. Like for example the governor is tripping up somehow and throttling the clocks heavily.
