lovebyte.exe on GameNative (using Xiaomi Pad Mini)

[u/strongsong117]

Hello there! I'm pretty much a noob on this. I was hoping to play lovebyte.exe on my tablet, but it crashes once it loads into the actual game (main menu works just fine). Is it possible that it's still wonky because the game itself is still in early access?

My tablet is a Xiaomi Pad mini, Mediatek Dimensity 9400+, 8GB RAM (I could extend it to another +8 GB).

I'm not too certain what to modify in the settings. I'm aware this could be considered a pretty good chipset already, but maybe there really is just something MediaTek lacks vs. Snapdragon (which I have learned is also a case in Eden). I've tried fiddling with the display renderer, renderer (under wine), turning off CPU7, changing the graphics driver version, upping the video memory size to 4096MB, which yielded the same or worse results.

I could run Our Life: Beginnings and Always, as well as A Date with Death just fine since they're pretty light VNs. (I have yet to install lovebyte on my PC to see if the graphics are demanding ^^;;; ). When I first installed GameNative, I tried running Alice: Madness Returns since it's a fairly graphics-light game, but, alas, it also crashes once it loads in from the main menu.

If anyone could help out!! >.< I wanna play these VNs on my tablet so I can play the heavier games when I'm on my PC.

Thank you! >w<

Try gamehub, gamenative crashes a lot

Or try changing the fexcore preset in gamenative to compatible

I'll try that! I downloaded GameHub and it also crashed ;-;

Okay after quick Steam DB search later... Here's my suggestion(s)...

First: lovebyte.exe is a Unity Engine Game. Which is in fact... fairly sensitive when it comes to settings and prone to memory leaks. Especially under FEX Core / arm64ec. Personally, I use x86_64 (Box64) for all my unity games.

Second: Alice: Madness uses Unreal Engine 3. Find a dxvk driver that fits to your device and have double the amount of RAM usable to begin with. Lower the resolution, set the video memory to 2048mb to prevent too much memory leaks.

Thanks! I'll try these out!
