Google Play Game Services and Admob plugins slow down android game.

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I have a car game almost concluded. It works smoothly on Android, when Google Play Game Services and Admob plugins are not loaded, but if loaded, there is not fun on playing the game. It runs very slow. As it is a physics based game, all the physics looks slow, like if it was a slow motion camera.

Anyone else noticed the same problems?

Hi @scrapee.net,

Can you be more specific on this report? Which Android device are you testing on? In what capacity are you using AdMob and GPGS? For example, are you constantly loading/refreshing ads during gameplay? Which services are you using in GPGS, and when? The engineers will require more detail to properly investigate this.

Thanks,

Brent

Hello.

The plugin that slow down the most, is Google Play Game services. The simple fact of having it in the settings file, will slow down the game.
