Pokemon SoulSilver closing on Menu Open

Post by BelegUS » Mon Dec 21, 2015 5:32 pm

Hello!

First and foremost, thank You for such a great emulator!

As I bought a new phone (HTC M8S) I decided it's (finally) time to support such a good work and I bought full version of DraStic. Unfortunately - on my old device (HTC One S) "alternative" (pirated :oops: ) version of DraStic was working like a charm with my beloved Pokemon SoulSilver. But now, on powerful M8S, newest full version of DraStic straight from Google Play does not work correctly.

I copied my ROM from old device and my `savestates` folder, too. I loaded the game on new device and loaded the save. Game was exiting to DraStic main menu after first second of game (like - I saw it works and then it closed). I set the landscape mode in app and it got slightly better - I loaded the game and was able to play, also to make savestate from Pokemon (not DraStic save but game original save). Then I loaded the game again (clean load, not save load) and loaded my save - it works, but every time I try to open DraStic menu (for example to save the game via DraStic, which really helps, eg. when you can't save in game) game closes and I'm back to DraStic main menu.

Why is it so? Can this be fixed? This is really frustrating.

I don't want to make a refund as DraStic is really such a nice app, and on pirate version on older device I didn't have any problems, but fixing that problem would be nice.

Some more facts:
- I'm running stock Android 5.
- Device is not rooted or anything (old one was custom ROM'ed to Android 5, no problems spotted)
- Starting new game etc. does not solve the problem

EDIT:
Strange - when I created direct shortcut to Pokemon SoulSilver, it seems to work without problems BUT... when I exit the game phone gets unstable (black screen, weird glitches) until I force-close the app from the memory. Until then I cannot run the game again.

I can't exactly help you. DraStic has been known to be glitchy with HTC devices. Earlier builds even had an awful lag with HTCs. This is just an FYI.
No. No no no no no no.

Try disabling Android notifications for the app in Settings > Apps > DraStic. This has been causing issues like this for a lot of people.

If that doesn't work please see if anything else on this thread helps you: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2957
