Asphalt 8 performance drop on WP8.1

[mjyumping]

Asphalt 8 updated today again

Another 940mb it is... but judging by the icon, it could actually be that content update we were waiting on. =)

It's indeed an update of The Great Wall that iOS and Android got it last month

 

[SRoshan143]

I have the game installed it in my L620 and it is working awesome, it is installed on SD Card and that too it is of class4 16GB.

Edit : It performs the same even on SD card as it was on the Phone memory. On top of that my SD card is almost full, with only around 400-500 MB free space remaining.

He could, but the point is that he doesn't need to.

After update still i face some lag issue but only in nevada map its strange as all other maps dont give me any lags.
And gameloft why did you change the menu screen the new menu screen looks dull.

Better than the pointless clutter and advertising on the old menu, surely?

Still slugish even after the update.
Definitely an issue with the OS, not with the game.

I just asked a dev about this.
He told me you have to wait for the Lumia Cyan update in June. The update will bring new 8.1 optimized drivers.
God... June?

Anyone updated to great wall here? Am not being able to purchase McLaren P1 or other cars exclusive to great wall! It says "Cars required to compete in this event is not for sale! Sorry for the inconvenience!" Did any of u get the same message??

 

[Guzy44]

I got the same

Updated to the latest version. Running perfectly fine in L820 with 8.1.
If you guys have any lag or performance issues, try disabling some of the background tasks / turn of WiFi / switch to airplane mode.

Maybe the drivers for the 820 don't need updating because of the older chipset?

Its probably because of the lower screen resolution. Same reason San Andreas works better on the 820 than the 920.

Really though, the game is playable on the 920, just suffering from occasional performance drops. Since Asphalt isn't the only game to do this since 8.1 though, I'm hoping its something related to 8.1 that Cyan can fix. Of course, an official update from Gameloft can't hurt either!

820 has the same chipset as 920 and even 1020, (and many others) but only needs to render the game @480p while others need to render them @720p.
And for devices like 520, 620 & 525 with lower processor speed, (1ghz) the game disables some texture effects for performance.

So it will be very helpfull to all users if GL let us disable/enable effects manually.

After I had transfered Asphalt 8 back to phone memory I had no issues and performace drops ...

I updated my asphalt8 today, and it is veryyyyyy slow. I did not update my phone softwer, or anything else, just the game, and it dont't work good. I tried to restart my phone, but it doesn't help. What to do bat not to lose the previos missions finished?
