Modern combat 2... Force close!... I have a fix!!!

This is a tip i just found for modern combat 2 on the xperia play.., this is using a genuine copy of modern combat 2 on a stock xperia play ...
I bought the game this morning went to play it and all i got was FORCE CLOSE (process com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftBPHP.ML) GRRRRRRR! So after trawling through google for 30mins i found some dude who had a way to get it working...
1..open the game with pad slid in (in the apps menu) it might work with the pad slid out too
2.. then youll get force close blah blah blah...click close or ok or whatever
3.. now hold on your home key so recent apps appear on screen
4.. now click modern combat 2 in recent apps and it works!!!
hope this helps somebody cos i was pissed off when mine didnt work, thanks goto some dude on a random forum i tripped up on.
if this is old news delete this thread BUT if its useful to ya, gimme a HELL YEAH!!!

Hell yeah ? !

hell yeah? its a pretty inexcusable workaround to a problem that shouldn't exist. after paying for something that was supposed to be tailor made to my device i expect it to work properly without having to resort to some bogus workaround.
plan to be more careful when purchasing gameloft games in the future because the response they gave me was more of the same, and that is just weak IMHO.

All mine work just fine

yeah i agree it should work without the need of this, but itll do for me till they have a proper fix, maybe theyll patch the game. it might be my end because i installed some bogus versions of the game first that i later uninstalled but maybe they might have upset it abit lol...
anyway man just done 30mins multiplayer on capture the flag with about 8-10 in the server and was surprised how good it was, oh i had to register via my laptop with gameloft live cos trying to register in the game caused FORCE CLOSE again, but once registered u can log in and it all works good
see u on the battlefield soldiers ill stab u all in the boob

I had this problem, i kicked up a fuss and gameloft gave me an extra game for free!

I had the same problem and this does works (HI5!) however I agree that its not acceptable on the part of Gameloft. This game was advertised on this device and it was in the Xperia Play app, clearly its just a minor bug that could have caused havoc, and I have also told Gameloft what I think (hopefully a free game!).
Hopefully I will see you guys playing online.

But good idea for posting it here it will get seen more and be more helpful to people having this problem.
I noticed it force closes when the os does something like say you press the home button it will force close and you will have to start again from your last save which is annoying. This problem must be down to a conflict with the SE software as problems still exist with phone rooted and debranded.

Auauaua, great!!!!
Working on motorola Xoom now!

This is great. I had no idea.

works for me. Pressed the thanks button. Gameloft said that they will give me a free game as they don't know how to fix it.

Worked for me too!

Same problem on SGS2!
I was having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and (much to my surprise!) this work around actually WORKS!
Just debating whether to accept the free game they've offered me and carry on playing! Its really bad that Gameloft are allowing this to happen, so I wont feel too bad.

What's the debate? Just pick the free game and play the two. The cost for Gameloft to send you a link to another game is 0: plus, the glitch is their fault in the first place, and they seem lazy to correct it. If they're too lazy to give you proper service, why should you get restless about exploiting their policies?

Hahah i discovered this by myself thinking that I had solved a worldwide issue I searched for forums to announce my discovery and tell everyone to get a free game as well
Unfortunately you beat me to it but I still suggest everyone get a free game for their **** up on not being able to code properly for fking android.

This happens to a lot of my Gameloft games.

I've sent Gameloft an email about this, but never got a reply

Gameloft Games £1!

Just to let everyone know all Gameloft Games for the Xperia Play are £1 for 24 hours!!!! Get em while their cheap.

Could i buy them now and wait until i get my xperia play and then put them on it?

Cheers mate, thanks for the heads up :-D

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the links to download the games?
My handset isn't loading the 'nopuk.netsizeonline.com' site which enables you to download the relevant files.

Busy changing their credit card details

For the past few hours the site hasn't worked. I managed to start to download the APK for a game before I was having problems, however it failed.
I can now access the site again, but all games are showing as £3. What's going on? I assume the offer has finished, but I wasn't able to take advantage of it because the website wasn't working... :-(

Also worked fine for me, have an account, so just a simple login and one click buy :-D Got three games...
Regards Dousan...

I got me a fivers worth, thanks for the heads up.

anyone else bought assassins creed and thought £1 was way to much to pay!
ive had more entertaining farts.

Thanks for the heads up, got another couple
Their Support is disgraceful, I have been emailing them daily for the past 2 weeks with zero replies.
I had bought 3 games before I flashed my phone, then lost them & have been emailing support for fresh download links but they are ignoring me. For anyone else with same problem, I figured out a workaround - the initial small file that you download got saved to my SD card under the download folder of my Dolphin browser. I just installed from there & it let me download the 200Mb portion & all is working again.

I bough 9 Games while there £1 haha, i cant get modern combat 2 to work though, it launches the first time to download the data but then force closes, i mite try deleting it and installing again

Lol, I bought splinter cell yesterday.... wondered why it was only £1

[Q] Gameloft Games After Dexters 3.1 PRIMEE?

Hi, thanks for checking this thread.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the Gameloft games that I have bought for my Iconia a500 will work after updating my tab with Dexters PRIMEE port?
I hear it is a pretty solid rom and I hate to not do it. But I don't want to lose my games.
I've already lost them once when I returned the first Iconia to BestBuy. I had to go through Gamelofts Customer Service to get the games back. Fortunately they were awesome to deal with.
I don't know how the games are authenticated. It's just that I am not certain whether my tablet will still pass if make changes like that to it.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Well, you could use titanium backup to, erm, backup your games + data, then make a nandroid backup using CWM, install Primee, then restore your games using titanium again.

Thanks for that. If I decide to go with PRIMEE I'll definitely go that route.
Appeciate the help.

No problem. If you have the time, give Prime a go. 3.1 feels faster and works great.

even with my phone i rarely use nandroid i just make frequent baclups in titianium. once in a while it loses my homerun 3d battle

First, thanks for everything Dexter, I appreciate you taking the time to help out here. Don't know how you possibly do it all.
The Gameloft store is where I bought my games as well.
Question.
Did you buy Asphalt6 before you made and installed that way cool rom of yours on your tablet? If so did you re-install it from the apk, or did you just go back to the Gameloft store on your device?
The reason that I ask is that when I returned my tablet I couldn't get to those games online to put them back on the new tablet. I actually had to go through customer service at Gameloft.
Why?
It seems that when I bought my games using the a500 at the Gameloft store, They didn't give me, the owner, an account for the games. They assigned an account to the tablet. Perhaps I should have bought the games through their webpage on a pc. I may have been better off...
Anyway, I am pretty sure that's why I had trouble and also why I am concerned. If my tablet doesn't identify as the tablet that the games are associated with, I don't think that they will re-install.
So I suppose that the real question is this. Will the Rom change whatever the identifier is that the apps look for? I figure that it is the serial number and possibly the model number too. So everything will be most likely be fine. But after what it took to get them back I'd like to be certain.
Thanks in advance for taking time for this. And thank you for sharing your Rom with us. Great job.

Right on, thanks for confirming that.

Maybe the games can't recognise the tablet because of the CM7. I know some people who play games on stock rom. Good games I mean, like deadspace.

Asphalt 6 (Gameloft) won't even show up for me in the market.

Asphalt 6 didn't show up for me in the Android Market, but there was a separate Kindle version on sale in the Amazon appstore for $0.10 the same day it was on sale on the Android store so I got it from there.
Note: I am using the stock software, NOT CM7.

[Q] Hows the development here?

I'm fishing around and trying to figure out if i want this Kindle Fire which i would root right away so i can use android market. Or if i should go for Toshiba Thrive, Sony Tablet S, or ASUS EEE HD Transformer. I kind of don't want to spend a lot of money but if anyone can answer me a few questions that would be awesome.
I mainly wanna use my University of Phoenix app, but for free time i read and play games. I wanna know if Dungeon Defenders, Order & Chaos, GTA III work on the kindle fire and is it playable? I am alright if it lags a little but enough to play?

Okay, so quite a few things here!
If you want a tablet that is good value for money and that can do all the things you have stated above, the Kindle Fire is definately the best option.
- The University of Phoenix App is compatible with the Kindle Fire
-All of the above games work perfectly without lag (actually, dungeon defenders IDK)
GTA 3 is amazing, and works perfectly on full graphics.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply! I think will go with the kindle fire. I bought one for my mother for christmas and i like it, she wont let me use it though. As long as i know those apps i use a lot work, im happy.
By anychance has anyone got the sims free play working on the fire? I hear it has major issues with a lot of divices.
