Initial delay with storyboard.gotoScene() ?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Im still plodding on with this too. Im using as few scenes as possible now to try and minimise the issue, but that defeats the purpose of the API some what :wink:

Preloading images was my first thought too, but I still see the delay if my scene doesn’t any… [import]uid: 8600 topic_id: 18556 reply_id: 74272[/import]

We really hope there would be a solution soon, or else we have to go back to director.
BTW we have logged the app on Android with logcat, and it seems that the delay is caused by a cleanup. The cleanup is started right after we press a button that changes the scene, and when it’s done the fading starts. Our delay is between 500 and 3000 msec.

Hey guys,

This is being worked on but until it is resolved I’d actually encourage you to continue using Director - this will get sorted out but in the meantime you shouldn’t let it hold you back.

HI Folks,
Was anyone able to find a workaround for this issue. The delay is considerable and it does seem that the application has stopped for few seconds…

Any help will be appreciated. Going back to Director would be lot of work for me at this stage of the project.

thx,

Does anyone know if this issue affects the 3GS, or is the only affected device just the first generation iPad? (the iPhone3G and iPod2G are no longer supported by Corona-made apps). [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 18556 reply_id: 78163[/import]

Hi everyone, just wanted to give you a quick update with this…

We’ve been able to identify the source of the delay and fix the issue with non-effect scene changes.

We’re still working on the best solution for solving the issue with scene changes with effects in place, so I ask you to continue to be patient for those changes.

Do know that this is being looked into though. The fix for the non-effect scene changes will be in the daily builds soon (not sure exactly which one yet, but most-likely mon or tues). Thanks again everyone. [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 18556 reply_id: 78212[/import]

Thanks jB,

It is reinsuring to know You are working on a solution.

Keep up the good work! [import]uid: 40334 topic_id: 18556 reply_id: 78301[/import]

Thanks for the update Jonathan, good to know you’ve found the source of the problem :slight_smile: [import]uid: 8600 topic_id: 18556 reply_id: 78332[/import]

Just tried the daily build 2012.723. The delay is still there. I’m testing on an iPhone 4.

Thanks for looking into this. [import]uid: 2334 topic_id: 18556 reply_id: 79145[/import]

I am seeing the same “delay” between screen transitions using Director. Although I am using Tabbar widget and director. In the simulator, it seems to work fine, but when I build for Android device, HTC Sensation, “delay” is present. I don’t know what it could be.

If someone can give me some insight on this other thread, it would also be much appreciated.

Yepp, it is still there - running on a iPhone 4S, simulator works fine.

Just a quick update —

The delay issue has been fixed for non-effect scene changes and will be in the *next* daily build (after 2012.724). You can test it out by going to the WidgetDemo and press the tab buttons (those are scene changes without effects).

Unfortunately at the moment you’ll still get the delay when you specify an effect, and will have an update on that for you shortly.

Thanks for your patience and continued feedback. [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 18556 reply_id: 79274[/import]

0.5 + for that Jonathan, you will get the rest 0.5 when it is fixed for the effects as well :slight_smile:

#38

So it is a new build out with the fix, anyone had tried it now?

I am heading a way for a meeting so I can’t verify this until tonight, to bad :wink:

So I just did a fresh build with the latest release, but I didn’t remove my transitions.

Running on an iPhone 4S I can see a small improvement. I haven’t tried without transitions yet.
