Invizimals runs slow when opening back camera

[Costa1005]

Game or games this happens in

Invizimals and Invizimals the shadow zone

What area of the game

So everytime i have to capture an invizimal and use the camera it is very laggy, not the game itself but the camera frames, this makes it impossible for me to capture the second invizimal that needs to be scartched cuz it does not detect the movement (i think) however if I user the frontal camera it is not laggy, and while the back camera is laggy , the game UI still runs at a very smooth FPS

Speed seen in PPSSPP

Android

Mobile phone model or graphics card

Redmi 11 PRO 5g

Last working version

Graphics backend (3D API)

OpenGL / GLES

Any other notes or things you've tried

I changed a lot of graphical settings and disaled MIUI battery optimizations since its known to affect some stuff, clear camera cache but the camera lag only happens in game

Checklist

• Test in the latest git build in case it's already fixed.
• Search for other reports of the same issue.
• Try resetting settings or older versions and include if the issue is related.
• Try changing graphics settings to determine if one causes the slowdown.
• Include logs or screenshots of issue.

Can you screenshot to compare the frame rate difference for front and back camera?

Can you screenshot to compare the frame rate difference for front and back camera?

You will not notice difference in actual frame rate, its actually 60fps in both cases, the UI elemtens of the game that overlay the camera image run smoothly, its the camera back camera itself that preforms very laggy in the app

Ok, good that the UI is keeping up at least. I guess it's possible that we're requesting images of an excessive resolution, or something like that. Haven't looked at the camera code in years... Needs investigating

[Costa1005]

I guess that would make sense, since back camera has much bigger resolution than front, and my phone as mentioned is a Redmi 11 pro 5g, it has 105 MP in the back camera

Hm, for some reason our logic chooses the slowest framerate available for previews, which is probably not ideal. For 1.15, I'm not gonna go deep into investigating here, but I'll make it pick the framerate closest to 30fps, which should be good enough.

There's also lots of scope for optimizing the surrounding code, but that's for later. (we do image processing in Java here, for example, just to utilize Android's JPEG encoder (the game expects JPEG images) ). But again, for later.

[Costa1005]

Is ther a target date/range to expect the update?

[hrydgard]

I just merged the fix, so builds should start appearing soon (newer than 1.4.4-1346).

[Costa1005]

Will there be an android build in the automated builds for this fix?

[hrydgard]

Yes, you'll find it here soon (1349): https://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/

Thanks, ill be sure to test and close the issue if fixed

[Costa1005]

Worked like a charm, camera runs smoothly
