Vendetta closes after detecting joystick.

Apr 08, 2012 tomcatguy74 link
Hey all,

I am having trouble running Vendetta when I have a game pad or a joystick connected to my Xoom. I connect the joystick or game pad to the Xoom and then run Vendetta and it tells me it detected the joystick but needs to run a different version of the game and my run slower than normal. I hit OK and then the game tells me its sorry and has to close.
I am running the most current version of android ice cream sandwich.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hope you can help.

My Xoom hasn't updated to ICS yet, but we'll give it a try on the hardware we have and see if we can reproduce it.

If you'd like to help speed up the debugging process, please consider installing the app "alogcat" from the Android Market ("Play Store"). Then run the game the way you describe, let it crash, and then immediately run alogcat and use it to export a log of the crash. If you submit a Support Ticket (left hand side, bottom) and paste in the contents of the logcat, that could speed things up for us considerably. Thanks much.

Ok, I believe I fixed the problem. ICS evidently changed the way it handles registering of native functions. I'll push out an update for the fix later this week.

A new update (version 1.8.214) has been released that should fix the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I am having this same issue as well. I have the new Asus TF300T transformer pad w/Tegra 3. When I open Vendetta on my tab it detects the controller and tells me I have to run another version that allows the use of a joystick/controller. When I select to load that version it just goes to a black screen and never does anything else. Sometimes I can here the music playing but all I get is a black screen. I have to hit the home button and kill the game in task manager to start over again. I have no issues playing with just touch screen controls. Only when I try to play the game controller version.

I have an Asus TF300T as well and I love playing it with my PS3 controller. This happens to me all of the time. If you will be playing with a PS3 controller, hit the center Playstation button after the screen goes blank. This will take you back to your home screen on your tablet. Then with the Ps3 controller navigate to your vendetta app and open it with your ps3 controller (You may have to try this a few time as the game is loading up). For some reason that is the only way that i can get the game to work with the controller. If you are using some other controller than Ps3 I don't know how to help. Hope this helps!

Sorry to hear about this. We'll look into it as soon as we can.

What version of Vendetta Online is installed on your device?
Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Vendetta Online and see what version it says at the top.

Android 4.0.4 changed some things that made the game not render anything to the screen when running in joystick-supported mode.
We'll get a patch out that works around the problem soon.
