game sometimes freezes on first load of new APK build

Thanks for the reply. Not sure it's possible to test the log in APK is it? Never had this issue launching from pc.

Having said that, I also noticed that sjrya says this: '-After some trial and error, I converted all my audio files (Sounds) back to .m4a from .webm and that seems to have solved my problem.'

Which makes me wonder if this is somehow related to my issue, which only started after I added some sounds. In fact, I didn't even get the loading bar prior to importing the sounds, it would load instantly into the game.

Going to do make a test version of my game with all the sounds removed and see what happens.

So removing all the sounds in my project made it load instantly. The loading bar did flick on for a frame before going straight to the first screen before the bar even had a chance to animate, so essentially instant.

Likewise, setting the project to not preload sounds has the same effect.

I'm wondering if I screwed up the encoding with one of my .wav files. This didn't happen until I loaded in my second set of sound files, so maybe I have one in there that's not playing along.

For now, I think I'll just leave preload sounds off.

You didn't mention which version of C3 you're using - is it a beta release? If so there are known issues with WebGL 2 on Mali GPUs (which the S7 has).

Hey LukeW

If you have your computer set up for Android development you can use Chrome developer tools for an attached device and view webviews for debug applications and Chrome pages.

You can see a guide on it here

developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/remote-debugging

Depending on the device you may need some additional set up, Samsung devices seem to require you to start a "ADB" session with the device first. I normally do this by opening Android Studio with a random project and selecting the "logcat" tab ( which is like the console for the Java side of your apps code ).

In terms of audio files some audio decoders don't like very short files, I'm not sure what audio format your using but .m4a .aac and .mp3 files have historically been problematic ( but mostly solved now I believe ). If you can find a good way of reproducing this issue then we would like to take a look.

Nepeo I'll have a look at that stuff when I get home from work today. I do have some small sounds files in there at 3-4kb, however, they're all .wav files.

I was thinking about this this morning though. I use a few different programs to generate sounds. One of those programs is FL Studio. I don't think I was having this issue until I imported some sounds made in this (because I imported a whole bunch from different sounds generators at once, I didn't see the link). I'm wondering if I delete the sounds made in FL Studio whether my load times will vanish again. I will try this when I get home as well.

well, looks like it wasn't the FL Studio audio files causing the issue.

I think I'm going to leave this for now, running without preload sounds on seems to be doing the trick anyway.
