Hi, this port is awesome!

I play it on my galaxy s7 just fine.

And I have it installed on my Sony android tv
One problem though:

I can't figure out how to configure my game controller... I want to remap the buttons for "accelerate" and "reverse" I can highlight them and they are blinking but I can't change them.

Am I missing something here or is it a bug?

Best regards
Peter

Were you able to select your controller from Controller Settings? Does the default mapping work?

Yes I can select Logitech cordless rumblepad 2, from controller options, and the default settings works.

I would just like to remap accelerate and reverse, from "up", "down" to "R2" , "L2" because the default mapping is impossible to control.

I can't remap them, but I don't know if it's a bug or if I'm just not doing it right...

This version is good although users of iPhone and iPad do not have RVGL. I unfortunately have an iPhone and an iPad and not Android and my mom does not let me change to Android.

It seems that RVGL will never have an iOS version :oops:

I would also like to see this. The game runs great but not being able to move/resize the buttons the way I want to suit my screen etc. makes playing with the touchscreen uncomfortable for me.

I had this issue with my tablet though I fixed it by editing the rvgl.ini and disabling the shader renderer

Another issue I had also relates to using the PS4 controller where I cannot map the dpad for turning (analog stick still works) the controller does function and all the other controls can be remapped, just not to the dpad. The dpad does work on the input name menu to rotate the wheel so it definitely is being detected in-game there at least.

Also pressing the backspace on the on-screen keyboard when prompted to enter name for some reason loops the backspace so I can't input anything without it getting removed (Can still navigate through the menus) and regardless of if a controller is connected or not. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop it apart from restarting the game.

A similar issue has been posted here: Android PS4 Controller. I'm continuing the discussion in that thread.

Does updating to the latest build 18.0731a fix the shader renderer?

This has been reported a number of times. Unfortunately the cause is still unknown...

Sadly no, settings shaders to 1 causes the black screen again. Note this is when running the game on an amazon fire 7 (2017) [Specs]

The device has a Mali-450 as does the other user with the black screen. The same issue was reported from a Mali-400 user. Sadly, there were no errors at shader compilation (in the previous users' logs), so it's hard to guess what's going wrong.
I suggest you to try disabling some of the more complex effects and try again. In rvgl.ini, set:

Code: Select all

EnvFlag = 0
MirrorFlag = 0
LightFlag = 0
Does the shader renderer work now?

Try adding an empty file named .nomedia to rvgl's folder. That should tell music players, gallery apps etc to ignore it.

i tried on my Huawei MediaPad (Adreno 308) and it worked fine, althrough when i first started the game there were some weird graphical glitches (like textures flickering in weird colors) but when i turned off shaders and lighting it was back to normal.

Yes, it's one of the ways to solve graphical issues on the android build.
Before shaders, can always try disabling UBO first (EnableUBO in profiles\rvgl.ini).

Having some issues

Unread post by MrBlitz » Fri Jul 26, 2019 2:06 pm

Hi all,

I've been trying to play on my moto g7 plus, using the latest build, and I've encountered some issues:

1- AI Cars keep resetting as soon as the race starts. They don't follow the race path so they become useless.

2- UI is frozen during the race. This imposes a problem because finishing the race is impossible (tested by single race 3 laps in TITH and Supermarket without being able to finish)

Any ideas of what may be happening?

Assests are from the w64 package.

Tried with w64, w32, and the single gamefile packs. No dice

You need the game_files package, optionally the dc_pack, and the APK itself. Extract the game_files to a path like "/storage/sdcard0/RVGL" and run the APK. Follow the docs in case you're stuck.

Support for external SD cards is currently very limited: the sdcard1 is only used as a fallback, i.e., when previous paths in the list do not exist.

Welp, it seems that that did the trick. Even though I wasn't prompted to replace anything, making a full clean copy of the files seemed to do the trick

Thanks for your time!
