Title: Machinarium too slow (unplayable) on Samsung Nexus 10 [SOLVED]
Post by: SuperChunk on November 30, 2012, 08:16:00 am
Hi

Recently received my first tablet, a Nexus 10, and excitedly started installing the Humble Bundle games that I had purchased in advance. Unfortunately, Machinarium I'd running so slow it I'd downright unplayable.

I did a quick search online and found a YouTube video that shows the problem I'm having:

Please, any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance!

PS: I'm using the HD version.

The solution to your problem is mentioned right there in the comments about the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tixR3wrTkcQ) you referenced:
"fixed it by setting 'Force 4x MSAA' on. This option can be found under Developer options."

I'm sorry that I can't help you to understand how to do that.  But I'm sure you will be able to find out how to "Force 4xMSAA" using the GOOGLE machine.   ;D

Did you make any progress with this? Did you find the developer options?

I'm having the same issue, but can't find them  ;D

GOOGLE query: "Android developer options" + "Force 4x MSAA"

Yields: "How to enable developer options on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean"

Quote: "The most interesting stuff in developer options on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean ~ Force 4x MSAA (Enable 4x MSAA in OpenGL ES 2.0 apps). Too bad that Nexus 7 can’t support it. Oh well…"

I never realised we were talking about Android developer options here, I thought it was something in Machinarium. I'd been centring my Google searches around this fact.

Cheers

I hope that means that you fixed your slow performance.  Sorry for any confusion I might have sown.  When I read "fixed it by setting 'Force 4x MSAA'..." it might as well have read: "fixed it by transgressing the Oobootoo user option and recompiling the entire junk box using Poo++" ! ;D

In other words, I don't do "Android".  ( still a rusty robot at heart ) ~A

So sorry everybody for the late reply. I forgot to request notifications for the thread and hadn't seen any of the replies until just now.

I followed Alex's suggestions and it works great now. Thanks again!
