WWE '12 PC – Android alpha 2

Second test build of the Android version, made from your reports: thank you! It installs over
alpha 1 and keeps your saves and settings (no need to uninstall).

No game files are included. You need your own copy of WWE '12 (Xbox 360).

What's new

Fixes

  • RT (reversals) works with the on-screen buttons. LT and RT were stuck half-pressed all the
    time, which also made some buttons do the wrong thing.
  • On-screen buttons missing on some phones (Poco F7 and others): some phones have a built-in
    device that looked like a controller and hid the buttons. The launcher now shows which
    controller it detects.
  • Black screen on some Snapdragon phones (Adreno 720 and similar): should be fixed (thanks
    Yexclsv). Tell us if you still get it.
  • The game's EXIT menu entry now closes the game and returns to the launcher.

Performance

  • Two background threads were spinning at 100 % for nothing, each keeping a CPU core busy all the
    time. Fixed: less heat, better battery, more CPU left for the game.
  • Built for modern ARM processors (ARMv8.2): faster thread synchronisation on every phone that
    can run the game. Your FPS reports will tell us how much it helps.
  • Fewer stutters the first time a match loads: the app now ships the list of graphics
    pipelines to prepare in advance, like the PC version.

Launcher

  • New on-screen buttons size setting (70 % to 110 %).
  • Shows the controller it detects, and warns if the processor is too old.

What you need

  • Android 9 or newer, 64-bit, Snapdragon 845 / 7xx (2018) or newer. Older processors (Snapdragon
    835, 660, 625…) cannot start the game: the launcher says so.
  • A GPU with Vulkan 1.2 and BC texture support: Snapdragon (Adreno) works.
    Mali GPUs (Samsung Exynos, MediaTek, Google Tensor) are not supported yet.
  • Tested so far: Snapdragon 8 Elite (60 fps at 720p), Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 (45-60 fps at 540p).
  • About 8 GB of free storage for the game.

Install

  1. Download WWE12-PC-Android-alpha2.apk below and open it on your device.
    Alpha 1 already installed? Just install this one over it.
  2. Open WWE '12 PC, tap CHOOSE MY ISO (first time only), then PLAY.

Known issues

  • One report of being stuck after a pinfall (no winning scene) in an Extreme Rules match. If it
    happens to you, please send the log and say which match it was.
  • No PlayStation button icons yet (Xbox icons only).
  • On-screen buttons cannot be moved yet.
  • Uninstalling the app deletes its folder (Android/data/io.github.imrburn.wwe12): your saves and
    any game files copied there. Installing a newer version over it keeps them.

Reporting a problem

In the launcher, tap SHARE LAST LOG and post it (Discord or a GitHub issue) with your phone
model, what you did and what happened. The log now also measures how busy the processor is,
which tells us what to optimize next on your phone.
