[Windows Phone] Freezing on game resume

I actually have brought it up a few times, however I cant stress enough how big of an issue this is, please ClickTeam you are making me feel like a paying beta tester.

Here's a video of colej_uk's MegaCity showing the freezing issue on 3 devices: 710, 800 and 920.

Sorry, did not realise how important this was. I'll work on it ASAP (before the end of the week)

Thank you cant wait to release my recent games to windows phone

Great to hear that the Windows Phone exporter still gets some love from CT! Looking forward to this.

I was having that issue until I took out the background music from my app, which greatly reduced the whole performance problems, too, that kept mine from passing.

Good to hear sbucci. Though I have to say that we really need the XNA exporter to work properly without these type of huge workarounds that lead to compromising the user experience too much (like having to remove bg music).

I can replicate this issue with 1 animated (so I know when its crashed) 32x32 object in the middle of a blank frame, 0 events.

any update on this issue?

I have just purchased the XNA exporter a few days ago specifically to make a Windows Phone app and it is becoming quite clear that creating a Windows Phone app is not possible with the XNA exporter in its current state.

not fair.

I have finally managed to install a working configuration of XNA on my Windows 8 machine, so I have found and corrected the problem.
Yves is on holidays this week, so we cannot produce a normal installer. So please download the file :
Please login to see this link.
And copy it into your data\runtime\XNA\Phone directory (make a copy of the old file first, one never knows)
It works on my phone. Please tell me if it also does on yours.
Sorry for the time it has taken to correct the problem.

The file of your link is a Visual Studio project, not a MMF2 file! I don't understand what you want us to do with it...

As I said in my previous post, just copy the file to replace the RuntimeXNA.zip file in your data\runtime\XNA\Phone directory. And yes, it is a Visual Studio project, exactly the copy of the project I have on my machine, and which is the source of the runtime. I use it as a template for creating XNA builds.
So everything is right. Just dont open the zip!

Yes this is working! thanks so much Fancois! working for me on my Lumia 920 (Windows Phone and not only does it fix the freezing issue but adds FAS to game does not reset! so happy, lots of Windows Phone games coming soon from Leuvsion

hmm, all is working good on my windows phone 8 device, but on my windows phone 7.5 I get a

"the configuration data for this product is Corrupt. Contact your support personnel." on SDK 7.1 or

"connection to the device failed. For connecting to Windows Phone 8 device - deployment failed because no Windows Phone 8 phone was detected. Make sure a phone is connected and powered on. For Windows Phone 7 device - The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact you support personnel" on SDK 8.0 (works build to Windows Phone

Was you able to build to Windows Phone 7.x? do you think this is my PC/SDK setup?

Oh! Okay! All right, i'll test that now !

It works fine on my windows phone 7.8!!! Finally, FAS support!!!

Something strange, when i set my game in pause and leave it with FAS function then go back to it, the music that was paused is played while the game is still in pause.

what SDK are you using dobermann? you on 7, 7.1 or 8?

I use 7.1 on Windows 7.

[edit]
I've fixed the sound paused bug with the "app has been reactivated" condition but it needs a real fix, it's not normal to have to add this condition.

[edit]
To simulate the bug, just make an app that play a music at start, then set a function like "a touch has occured" (or something else) to "pause all sounds". Then use FAS. When you'll go back to the app, the music will resume. Annoying!

This is an annying problem to correct : I'll have to add an extra flag in the sounds to indicate that thesounds have been paused manually. Well...
