This is a big release in terms of effort and I hope everyone likes it.
It starts the new Encounter system off with a often requested change and adds a whole new type of difficulty setting!

no more crashes at main game-zone screen!  good work! but somehow game often 'lose' background images on encounters or graphics buttons (on items or contacs) or our ck image when we are talking with someone. its not a rule, sometimes game shows it sometimes not android 1.6 lg gt540 edit i'll send you logs later when i get time for testing new encounter system |

hmm thats weird
when I close (with task killer) all apps and run only ck - i had more than 30 mb of free ram
and less with few runnings apps+music in background
sometimes they are missing, sometimes not
also when I check 'lite encounter screen' and 'disable background' it also happens

Android, and Java in general, have some very interesting "features" when it comes to how that 30 mb of "free ram" is actually made available to the OS's file IO, the application's native image heap and the Java objects that are active in the process.
After a year of researching it I can tell you for certain that it is very complex and every device, install and OS version is special, unique and different.
To even provide a high level response to your post I would need a detailed breakdown of everything you know about your device and probably a few additional details -- and even then my answer might be "hmmmmm"
I have 13 Android devices + 27 emulated devices ...

I may have an idea of what is causing it but I need to do some more research. Thanks! |
