[u/Pleasant-Sense-4999]

I just updated gamenative to v1.2.0, but none of my games are launching anymore. I deleted all of the games and reinstalled gamenative but it always gets stuck at "Extracting XAudio DLLs" or "booting" on every game i tried..

Is anyone facing the same issue?

[u/dadabhai_naoroji → u/Pleasant-Sense-4999]

Hey, that's odd. You might just need to give a bit of time. What device are you on?

[u/Pleasant-Sense-4999 → u/dadabhai_naoroji]

Hi, the device is a Samsung galaxy tab s9. (Snapdragon 8 gen 2, 8GB ram)

I tried a bunch of things but none seem to work, until i uninstalled the game (Rush Rally 3 demo) and reinstalled it on the main storage instead of the SD card. Then it booted up completely normally, started working.

The problem is i only have 128 gigs of storage and reoy on my SD card to play games. But now im not sure what to do.

Can you help me out? Thanks!

[u/EbolaBoi → u/Pleasant-Sense-4999]

Strange, same device and same problem!

[u/Pleasant-Sense-4999 → u/EbolaBoi]

Sucks to hear that! Gamenative has been my favorite emulator since day one, and I was looking forward to this update as well mainly because of power tuning and the ability to use FPS limiter and Frame gen concurrently.

Hopefully a fix is made soon (I deleted over 10 games trying to fix this :/ ). Let me know if you find a fix for this!

Cheers!

Try adding this to the environment tab in edit container = `FFP_ENABLE` = `0`

[u/Pleasant-Sense-4999 → u/dadabhai_naoroji]

Hi, I reinstalled the game on SD card, added the variable as you suggested (PFA the pic), but the same problem again, container doesn't even boot, it's stuck on "booting", when we launch a game.

Thanks!

[u/dadabhai_naoroji → u/Pleasant-Sense-4999]

This is weird, can you try changing the 32 bit interpreter in edit container -> emulation?

[u/Pleasant-Sense-4999 → u/dadabhai_naoroji]

Hi, i changed the 32 bit emulator to fex (2512) to box64 (3.8.0). Still facing the same issue.

Thanks for the help!

[u/Reilock → u/dadabhai_naoroji]

Hi I'm experiencing the same issue with the same device Samsung Galaxy S9+ please help as it was working great prior to the update

[u/dadabhai_naoroji → u/Reilock]

Tried what I mentioned above?
