Sweet, thanks so much for the article, Fernando!

I have the latest api builds working now. In order to get api 31 working with 12, I had to reinstall the latest Android Studio and update Java.

That's a really useful article, is it shared with the rest of the CTF community? Is it worth posting it as a separate post in the forum if not already? It may help others understand the api levels - I admit I was ignorant of the build rules around versions and apis until you shared the article.

Thanks again

Thanks, I checked my preferences and all good. I can see it's pointing to the correct sdk.

It seems to be working for build API 30 and build target 12 now.

API 31, 32 and 33 produce errors at the moment; the Android exporter recognizes API 33 as the latest one - after clicking the button: "Newest installed SDK API"

My setup in preferences is all good:

JDK
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre

SDK
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

I updated the API and build tools with Android Studio and repeat tried building my application. I tried the top 3 latest build APIs (33, 32 & 31) and build targets 12 and 11.

I now get the following error output:

UPDATE: So using build API 30 and build target 11 which seemed to successfully build my application. I'll continue to post here if there are any new developments.

I get the below error when building apk file.

It never used to be an issue before updating to build 294.10.

The only object used are active objects and backdrops in game - no other objects.

Please help.

The below in the links demonstrate my progress with this. This is only a concept "game" to work things out and has no affiliation to any of the games I'm formally working on:

Using DeltaTime certainly has improved the frame rate with movement and sound samples. There are still some noticeable drops in frame rate when sound samples are called while testing it on an android device but it's no way near game-breaking like before. In particular, the player slipstream does noticeably break intermittently when the player is moving. There's an in-game sound on/off toggle which allows you to see the impact of sound samples being called and not being called when the player moves. The player slipstream remains unbroken when sounds are toggled off.

There are definitely ways around making the drop in frame rate less noticeable, such as replacing the create slipstream action while the player is moving with a single slipstream object stretch (x/y scaling) action that triggers from one of the fast loop events.

I'll keep looking at this and hopefully the below helps others figure this issue out.

Quote from Linky

Hey Gooblammy, as of Fusion, there is no built-in DeltaTime value to use, the closest thing is the Movement Timer, but unfortunately it's internal value is hidden from you and only used for animations and built-in movements (tho apparently an extension can modify and even get the value at runtime)

But anyways to achieve this you first you have to calculate DeltaTime, the calculation it self doesn't take more than 3 minutes to set up, but the real challenge is applying it correctly in your game
In the very basics you will just be multiplying the calculated DeltaTime value with the velocity of a custom movement (or say a custom delay buffer/timer..etc), but this is not the end, as you will also encounter a velocity curve problem if you have accelerating forces, and yet another problem is if you don't have continues collision detection for a custom movement, the gap will be really big in low framerates and moving objects might skip obstacles, so you would have to implement step checks, and sometimes you have to NOT multiply DeltaTime with with some forces like instant forces (e.g. jumping in a platformer game)

It's still not a big hassle tho, and luckily I made this guide before on GameJolt that covers DeltaTime from the basics and how to get around the problems I mentioned above: Please login to see this link.
But at the end it's REALLY worth it, stuff just feel smoother, if you increase FPS to say 144, displays with 144HZ will utilize all the in between frames, making the game look smoother on higher refresh rate displays (if the game's FPS was the same or higher than the display's refresh rate ofc), and generally your game will feel more professional
And as an added benefit, slow motion effects will be easier and smoother than ever by just modifying the MS ratio, so DeltaTime is really worth it at the end, but just needs getting used to

(Edit: So I usually take a long time to write a "big" post, while writing NaitorStudios already replied lol, sorry for duplicated links to the same guide xD)

Thanks, Linky and NaitorStudios.

The articles look really helpful! This is my homework tonight: work on a couple of experiments with DeltaTime.

I'm quite keen to keep on track to solve the FPS drop when playing audio samples (keeping it to the forum subject) so my aim will be to create an apk extension with DeltaTime I can share here; whether it goes badly or good(ly?).

Cheers, once again!

Quote from Dobermann

My only way to pass trough this issue was to remake my engine to be compatible with delta time so framerate loss isn't slowing down my game.

That sounds very clever! So how does one achieve delta time in the Clickteam event editor?

Quote from Fernando

Sadly in android this problem is one of more concern, and by inheritance is not well implemented.

My test will require time.

Thanks, Fernando.

Yep, I have been having the exact same issue on my android build over the last several weeks and it's blown my development schedule out of the water - tested a basic background sound loop with a jump action sound when the player jumps. There's a severe drop in FPS to the point where it's unplayable. Tried all sorts of events, conditions, loops and different formats such as ogg and wav to the same unfortunate result too.

Fingers crossed it gets ironed out in an update soon.

Thanks, I've been using the HTML5 object to call my JS functions to retrieve the data from the server, which returns a JSON string back to Fusion. I'm obviously missing something but it's unclear how to consume the JSON string in Fusion as a HTML5 build, and then allocate those strings and integers as needed in my game. Windows builds work perfectly with the JSON object in Fusion.

Does anyone have a basic JS code example of using the JSON object in HTML5?

Thanks again.

JSON Object [code=html]: Help Me!

I feel kinda dumb

Is there any documentation I am missing to implement the JSON Object in a HTML build? I have both the windows and the HTML JSON Object (I think).

I was able to use the JSON Object in a windows build which worked like a charm! I then downloaded the HTML JSON Object which consisted of a JavaScript file that I am uncertain how to handle?

Help would be immensely appreciated.

Hi all, same issue for me. Checked and downloaded latest update which for me is R293.1. Still stuck with Target Android Version 10 and 11 not visible. I notice Nemeean_lion mentions downloading a new version of Clickteam. Does this make it R293.2+ and able to select Version 11? I have the android SDK API updated to 31.

Hi, I am suffering with a similar issue found by my users for my game submitted in a GameJam; except the anti-virus alert for my game is: Trojan: Win32/Wacatac.B!ml. I'm reporting as false positives to the many different anti-virus companies my users are highlighting, including Windows Defender. Seems a bit excessive but it will likely mean no users will pick up my game in the Jam. It also feels unprofessional to tell my users to ignore and treat as a false positive.

Thanks Fernando!

Building as final project has worked perfectly.

I've recently had the exact same build fail in xcode with the following error message "Lexical or Preprocessor issue - PersonalizedAdConsent." The same as JoeRoth12's screen shot.

It's odd because my current MFA file only contains Active Objects and Backdrops - I have no need for the GDPR object, or the Admob object at this stage as I am purely testing the game concept.

I never had this issue during previous builds in xcode with the same objects, and so was wondering if there's an issue with the IOS exporter itself at the moment, or with xcode?

I notice within extensions of the xcode project build folder there appears to be GDPRConsent.m and .h, but I can't remember if these were there before on previous successful test builds.

Any thoughts anyone?
