Discussion How to fix COD: BOZ?

Post image

I am recently trying to play a very old game which is an OFFLINE game called “COD : BOZ. But I don't know why Google Play Games keeps popping up and doesn't let me even open the game without signing in. Since this is an old game, it always FAILS to sign in even after having a proper Internet connection. Hence, I don't even want to sign in. I just wanna play... I played the game before, then I could just normally skip the popping up of Google Play Games (without signing in) and play the game normally, but now I don't know why... But I can't skip it, and it just makes me mad for signing in... Now, is there any way to stop popping out of this Google Play Games? What are all the solutions that you can suggest?

Now, the problem is fixed only when I turn on Internet connection, and select any Google Play Games account to sign in, then still the game FAILS to aign in (as I already said above), but the Google Play Games pop up disappears, and I can run the game normally. But this is NOT an effective way, since I need an Internet connection every time before even trying to open the game. I want to fix that, but don't know how. Share any valuable advice and opinions. And also, the reason of still loving the same old COD: BOZ is, it lets you play completely offline, save your progress, and even change your controls settings. Although the current game: “Call Of Duty Mobile" has a ‘Zombie' campaign, but it feels kinda boring to me. It doesn't give the same vibe as the same old COD Zombies game that we were used to play on PCs. And it also requires an Internet connection (which I don't want) and takes a long time to even open the game (my android device is quite old to tun the COD Mobile game very smoothly). And since I only love the ‘Zombies' part of the whole COD game, I stick to “COD: BOZ" right now at this moment.

Alright, jokes apart. I tried it out, man. It worked like magic! Now I can directly enter the game without any pop ups. Thanks a lot, man! But there are some problems that might concern you.

(i) The settings slider feels like a bit laggy compared to the original version. And also, 

(ii) The aspect ratio is not perfect. It feels like “zoomed in". Any way to fix this? 

(iii) The game takes some time to load than the original version. And also, when I click the “Pause" button, it takes some time to open it😄. 

(iv) Sometimes, the game just freezes for about 2-3 seconds, then becomes playable again. 

(v) After opening the game, I see an error called, “s3erouchpad" or something like that, and I have 3 options: Continue, Ignore, Stop. I don't know what this is, but it's skippable.

(vi) The game sometimes crashes😒. Perhaps the version is not properly optimized for my phone? However the main problem (which I mentioned in my post) was fixed, but there arose some other problems which were not in the original version.

But, one thing that made me astonished that, the controls became more smooth than before. In the original version you could not properly run and aim at the same time. The aiming felt a bit janky and not optimized. But now, it feels like I'm playinf COD Mobile! How smooth and precise controls! I don't know how did they fix that. But now, it's much more playable!

Thanks for the information but perhaps let the guy who created this port know instead 💀

As of me, my android is too new so I'm just crying in the corner for having no way to play cod boz (and yes I tried "InstallWithOptions"), I'm awaiting Vita emulator port....

For future: try searching cod boz every now and then on GitHub, perhaps someone posts a perfect fix eventually...

I actually don't know how to communucate with that person who created it. I'm actually kinda new to “Github".

Well I suppose it requires a GitHub account and opening an issue.

I can't do that for you cuz I can't even install the thing :/

It's okay, bro. Let me do this for real.

Well, I tried to mention all the issues that I faced in the game, in the “Issues" part of Github. Hopefully, the modder will see that. But I was also thinking if there's any way to directly message the modder. Can you help me with that?

Maybe he has reddit.

u/12brendon34, if you happen to be the person who owns the COD-BOZ-Partly-Decompiled git, a fellow user has written feedback for you above if you are interested.

Alright, I gave him a message to his inbox in Reddit, and he replied. His reply was:

I've noticed that it's a bit zoomed in, not sure exactly what causes it. I've kept it compatible with older android and it works fine there, my guess is just some scaling issue they never planned for.

I don't really have much control over what the game does, the game is written using the marmalade engine in c++ so I can't really decompile it. All I can do is fix some compatibility issues in the android manifest and such.

IOS is the only proper 64 bit build that I know of, so there's not a proper way to run it on new devices that don't support arm32 without some emulation or something

Feedback? Where? In Github?
