    Default Store on Phone or SD Card?

    I am curious if there is a big difference when you move the game in your phone memory or keep it in the SD. I experience a little lag inside mynas' tomb when mobbing.

    Anyone tried to move theirs and seen a big difference? I tried to but i don't see much.

    Felt slow starting up, but I think gameplay was decent. I don't see a comparable difference depending on where you store it.

    Thanks Junside. I tried it on mine. What I actually notice is that when you are with 4 mages, not all the skills show up. It had something like a time lapse in the animation.

    Hm... mine's on my SD card, and it seems perfectly fine... it was freezing yesterday... every time I tried to open a new window thing in it. But it's been there for a few weeks now, and seems fine.

    I had it on the phone before that...

    But summary: doesn't matter, processor, etc. effects it more.


    EDIT: from here down

    SD Card is slower because it isn't direct access and it is slower to upload data from it. Even the higher class sd HOC cards are still slower then the internal phone storage itself usually, so in short terms, go with the internal phone storage and save the SD storage for less demanding apps.

    Otukura: Ok I'll try again and restart my phone this time.

    I've played on an iphone 3GS and it's has a slower processor. To be honest, the animation and overall gaming action is better compared to my Nexus One. Does it have something to do with the OS? Anyone tried to compare their gaming experience with the new Gingerbread which says a better gaming experience? I don't know what they said on that youtube vid to be honest. All I can relate to is that Gingerbread is supposed to be a better gaming OS than FroYo.

    It's your processor. Phone/SD card, it doesn't matter one bit. Just saves up space in your /data/data folder.

    Games runs beautifully on my DINC. Not one bit of lag unless I lose my 3G signal.

    Once the game is loaded the storage speed should not matter. Storage speed should not directly effect FPS, only load times (which are pretty darn short).

    However the CEO mentioned in an interview that an open world was in the works. When that happens you will see storage speeds have a more direct effect on the game because it will be loading things on the fly.
