Osmos multiplayer problems HB x86

Postby TheBrassn » Sun Jun 30, 2013 4:13 am

Hello there,

i bought Osmos from the Humble Bundle a while ago and lately recognized that it got multiplayer support for Android, thanks for the free update btw.
I own 2 Motorola Razr i and installed the game on both of them. Singleplayer runs fine.
But if I connect both to the same Wifi network and try to start multiplayer neither of the phones find each other in the "In the Room" section.
The list stays empty no matter how long I try.
I did not try the Google+ Internet option, as I do not want to be part of that network.

Details:
Motorola Razr i with Intel x86 cpu on Android 4.1.2 (newest available)
System language german
Osmos Version 2.0.2hb
Router Fritz!Box 3272

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi TheBrassn,

Before we dig too deeply into device-specific issues, please check to make sure Osmos sees your Wifi connection. In the local-connecting screen, tap on the (?) icon in the upper right corner and check the name of the Wifi network each device is connected to. What do you see? (They should match of course.)

Hi TheBrassn,

Thanks for the feedback! The Android version of Osmos is not fully compatible with x86/Intel devices and, as such, the Razr i is not a supported device at this time. We plan to support Intel chipsets in the future but don't have an ETA as to when this will happen. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Thanks for the reply.

Its kinda sad that the game runs flawlessly on the device except for the network code.
No a refund is not required. Really loved the game before it even had mp support.
If you - at any time in future - plan to add x86 support and need a beta tester with such a device feel free to contact me. I even have a third razr i available if needed.

BTW is the mp mode only for 2 players or even more?

Thanks for understanding and the offer to help TheBrassn. :)

To answer your question, mp is strictly 2 player.
