Removing Legacy Android - Alternatives

Sorry this happened to some, but there are alternatives you can use. Bluestacks, or Nox on PC can emulate Android. I use both a Samsung 10 when I'm at work, and then switch to Bluestacks when I get home. Just make sure you enable Virtualization, so the framerate on lower cpus stay high. Also, don't use all your cores, use half or it will lag.

I am rather curious as to what this will provide existing players though. New graphics engine? High poly counts? More sophisticated encounters? Exciting!

    Or get with the times and upgrade your phone, the incompatible 6.0 OS was released 3.5 years ago and there are three version later than 6.0. If your phone or tablet wont let you upgrade past 6.0 then chances are the device is probably older than the OS. So what your device is 4 to 4.5 years old?

    You can uninstall if you want, but please rage quit on your way out. I have my popcorn ready for the show.


    Sorry, but your popcorn will get cold. If I can still play, good. If I can't, I'll just move on to the next game. That's the complete opposite of rage.


    I'll wait to start popping till the next rage quitter then, you sir are one of the good ones, just wafting away in the breeze when your done :smile:

    Good chance the next game won't support your device either.
  • Been using bluestacks for about a year, and its been working great! So, I updated the game in bluestacks and now I can't get past the Disney or CG splash screens. I have uninstalled and re-installed the game - no dice! I have un-installed and re-installed bluestacks and again.. no dice! Now I am really worried about updating the game on my android tablet. Hopefully they don't force the update during the current TW!
  • I can confirm the update works on mine. Although it took a min at the load screen the first time around.

    Edit: If you sit at the black logo screen for awhile, its fine. Mine did that too. If you sit at Initializing .. it'll take a min there too .. after a bit it will load cantina, then you will get the load bar

    Btw if you see this red bell, it means you do NOT have virtualization enabled and therefore this load process will take exponentially LONGER. Patience.



    To enable virtualization or virtual memory, you have to go into your cmos (hit f10 or del at bootup splash screen). If you don't know what this is, then you need to be skipping this step. Just know MSI boards usually have it under cpu features as SVM mode.
