When I use the GemRB to play the Baldur'sGate2, it crashes when I had a trap sprang. Is this bug reported and fixed yet? I have posted my aLogcat error on http://paste.debian.net/162458/. Hope that it helps to report the bug. I wonder how long I got a reply? By email or on this forum? Thanks. From Android7465

This is probably an old version (bonus against creature bug was already fixed some time ago)
There are daily android updates here: http://sourceforge.n...naries/android/

If you happen to get a buggy version, try the latest (if it was the latest, try one before it).
We modify the code a lot, and mistakes slip in.

I have the latest 0.7.0 version already. After I installed the latest update in the link you provided, I couldn't enter the game at all. it crashed right away after the SDK screen. may I know which update I should install to install to fix the problem? the latest update has all the previous updates?

[Avenger]

Check the log, if it doesn't help, post it like before.
All releases contain the previous fixes (plus some more potential bugs, features).
Generally, the newest is better, but sometimes a bug has worse symptoms on android or on other less tested platform than windows/linux.
None of the core developers have a way to test gemrb on smartphones.
This is why we need more 'support' from phone owners in the way of logs+bugreports.

in my first installation before the update was patched, the demo resolution in GemRB.cfg file was on 640 x 480 and I could change it to 1280 X 800 for my transformer tf101 and it displayed fine. After the patched screwed up and l reinstall everything, the resolution could change only to 800 X 600 and it displayed weirdly (screen displays in 4 sections, can touch and drag a section to enlarge a section and push to shrink the other section when the section is enlarge). When I changed to 1280 X 800, the game crashed after the SDL screen. Now I cant even play the game, what should I do now?
please advise...

[android7465]

I m not a techie, I would like to know if it is possible to reverse the apk from update? or as long as I uninstall the GemRB, remove all files from app-data, then start to install the GemRB again, it will be a fresh install ?

ln fact, I did it already, why I still can get it works correctly as I did the 1st install?

[Avenger]

I have zero knowledge of android, sorry. Hopefully, we'll get someone to answer.
Either by a new update that works for you or with some help how to restore the original version (which of course will crash with traps).

Do you patch the game data with widescreen?

[android7465]

I installed the latest updates, shouldn't it contain the wide screen patch?
Should I post a new topic for restore the engine, or to where I can get android expert advices?
as I thought the engine is for android platform, is this the forum where android developer could give advices? thx

[Avenger]

GemRB itself doesn't contain the widescreen patch because that is a patch for the game data (and the original .exe).
We don't patch the game data, we supply only the engine which is intended to run on all platforms that are compatible with SDL.
Android was initially not targeted by us, i didn't even expect this game could be ported to android, it was initially done by someone we know as "Pelya".
This forum is for general gemrb specific questions, including but not limited to the android platform.
I don't know if there is a better forum specifically for gemrb on android.

Currently I'm supporting android version, support is limited to my non-great android skills and spare time.

The crash problem is only in the market version (because it is old). We cannot fix the market version. I already wrote that.
