Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon)
Display: Portrait
Frame: Auto:2
Speed: 400%
Filter: Scale2X
Multi-threaded: Yes
Sound: Yes
So far in two different songs I've played (Canned Heat + Inspiration) on Cruisin (Agent J) the game will crash and the app will go directly to the main DraStic screen. No warnings or anything. This makes the game incredibly difficult and frustrating.
Edit: Solved! It was just the Multi-Threading feature.

What version are you using? If it's not the latest one then threaded 3d can cause instabilities.

Under Help and Changelog, the top most recent one says Version 2.1.6a. That's the version I believe I'm using. I also bought this app like 2 hours ago.

Yeah, so far without the Multi-Thread it hasn't been doing that. It's been a tad laggy here and there, but it's no longer crashing the game.

you could prolly set the frameskip to 4 for optimum speed.

Yeah, the threading probably still has some possible stability issues sometimes (to be fair it does warn you

) If it crashes reliably it could be helpful to get a savestate there so we can find out why. Next version is going to have some other threading stuff so it'll still be faster with multi-core devices w/o the glitches and problems that threaded 3D causes.
