Graphics options?
Hi! I downloaded SimCity BuildIt yesterday on my Android tablet and it was odd that there are no options to change graphics settings. Later yesterday, I saw that the iOS version is much nicer, has s...

I played on Xperia z4 tablet. but there are no shadows and light tracks when pickup things, cannot zoom out far enough cannot zoom in close enough, cannot change the camera angle so much, and i think i cannot see the small lil humans walking too. it's kinda weird coz xperia tablet z4 have awesome graphics and processor so it should support highest graphic for the game. I think the autosettings maybe depends on the screen ratio... idk.
I played build it with sony bkb50 using the touchpad and i love it!
hope the graphic problems can be solved.
cheers.
I also have the same problems with Xperia Z4 Tablet. I got a fairly generic response from support previously when I raised the question, basically insinuating that the experience is optimised depending on your hardware performance and the Z4 tablet wasn't up to it!
This is FAR more likely to be poorly optimised or just completely untested on this hardware. The Z4 is packing a Qualcomm 810 soc, yet its running zoomed in, all graphic effects off and treating it like some first gen android hardware. Come on EA - you can do better than this.
Really? That is the response that EA gave for the Z4 tablet issue? Hardware is not up to it????
Z4 tablet Specs:
CPU: 2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, 64-bit Octa Core
GPU: Adreno 430
RAM: 3GB
Screen Res: 2560 x 1600
Z3 Phone Specs:
CPU: Snapdragon 2.5 GHz Qualcomm Quad-core
GPU: Adreno 330
RAM: 3GB
Screen Res: 1920 x 1080
Simcity works fine on my Z3, I'm able to zoom in/out just like my iPAD Air2 version
On the Z4, I'm not able to zoom out to see as much land as I can on my iPAD/Z3, I can't tilt as much to get a birdseye view either. I'm very familiar with the controls (since I play on my iPAD Air2 as well), so I'm confident it's *NOT* a user issue here.
So I'm pretty sure it's *NOT* a hardware issue, it's just getting EA to support Z4 high resolution using the 430 GPU.
Come on guys, please........................................................get it to work on Z4 tablet..................................pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
- I have official sloved the graphics problem.maybe am not the first but i have found a way to fix it. You will need 3 things.
1. A rooted phone.
2.gl tool and its plugin
3. Ram extender
Use ram extender to expand ur ram. I would advice for expanding to 4000mb.
after that install gl tool and then do following.
for 1.anti aliasing (msaa/csaa)-mssa 16x ( non terga).
2. Force 16 bit rendering should be ticked.
3.skip all the rest and move down to Gpu name/emulator.
4.tick use fake gpu Info and tick fake cpu info
5.for use template chose adreno 320 or mali-t604 then exit.
open sim city if it did not work don't panic go back to gl tool this time go to the texture part and then click on downscale texture and click on the last one "limit to 1x1 (must be nice).
Exit then open the game when it load finish and you view ur city exit the game. Then go back to gltool and reture the downscale texture disable.
then go back to the game. That all i did.if the till doesn't work email me at [edit: email address removed]- Oh yeah the ram extender just use it to add more ram to your sd download it thougth here
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GBd6LT55vr0Hi the6digit... good to see someone else working on this too. I did think about trying to fake the gpu info but wasn't sure how to do it on Android.
Can you post a link to the tools you are using along with the author so we can find the correct ones on the play store?
- When u open gl tool look for the game among the list and click u must tick on the first option
