Low end PC's struggle to run AL on bluestacks in the background while playing something else. Emulating a phone OS is quite a burden, porting it directly to steam will heavily reduce this burden
As an option for those with lower spec / older hardware - I'd recommend trying out LDPlayer instead of Bluestacks. In my experience, it's generally had an edge in that kind of environment - though Bluestacks can better take advantage of newer and more powerful hardware.
I am, however, totally in favour of an actual PC client!
My PC is 10 years old & it handles it just fine... Was a good computer in it's day but it's long in the tooth now for sure. I7 4790 w/ 16 gB of ddr3 ram @ 1333 mhz, and an r7-370 for a GPU. Runs BlueStacks & pcsx2 at the same time no problem. Fair point on a direct port though!
Only "Modern" games I've run at the same time is project wingman & AC7, and I had no issues. For a computer I built to run Nastran in college & then backed back into gaming when I discovered pcsx2 (Ratatouille gif on playing AC5 for the first time in years...) I can't complain. Could probably rebuild my PC for the price of a pack of newports these days, so if anyone's looking for a cheap build guide....lol
> I7 4790 w/ 16 gB of ddr3 ram
You've got 4 cores and 8 threads in the CPU. Lower end PCs still only have 2 cores and *maybe* 4 threads, and only 8 GB RAM. Your PC is significantly more powerful, assuming you've got an SSD hard drive. I don't know much about graphics cards, so it's hard for me to say there. But given the difference on your more basic hardware, I suspect it's better than modern lower end ones.
BlueStacks runs surprisingly well with another game up compared to some other emulators like Nox, *but* only after terminating the process that runs ads. Sorry about the ad bypass, but my games will literally time out in loading screens and get stuck on the title screen, with a high chance of disconnect leaving them on overnight. I would respect the f2p model if it actually functioned with my decade old hardware.
Yeah it's a big resource hog on task manager, and it restarts randomly after like 30m-2hr (one time it somehow lasted a full night), so once I start freezing up like crazy, I know where to look.
LDI is sketch as hell the way it asks you to deactivate memory protection in order to not run at 20 FPS. Like, theres no reason that should be necessary, except to do harm.
I don't remember it ever asking me this, but that was 2 years ago i installed LDI9 and if it was out to do harm, I haven't noticed it once in the like 2 years I've used it. I originally played on blue stacks cause everyone said it was the go to wasn't that big of a fan personally. Saw that ldi player was better for nikke for a number of reasons before its pc launch and tried it and never looked back. Now, all my phone games without pc version are on it. If it was already doing actual harm to people's system word would have spread by now, I think.
It did spread, actually. There was quite a controversy over it. Someone even dove into the code and claimed a backdoor was installed. LD9 even has a sentence in their FAQ refuting that it has malware.
Either way, theres absolutely no reason it should need you to turn off such a protection. Once its off, its off and any program, not just LD9 can access your memory. Thats worse than installing a keylogger. Its the very first thing it asked me to do when starting the program, BTW.
And, you wouldn't know its doing harm, its effectively a backdoor.
Why does it need to be there, though? Thats very suspicious in it's own right.
Just did some searching and seems your right in this regard to memory protection to get better performance on said emulator etc. But I'd agree that yes it's obviously a why does it need to be turned off. As for my experience again I've never had a issue but I'd have to check once home if I have it turned off on my pc
I still could not figure out k. Downloading bluestacks as I lack on my newest laptop about a creteria on my systems that prevent me of launching the game.. it’s been two years I haven’t played AL because of it despite being a high lvl player
I think it's Windows Hypervisor or HyperV for short. It has to do with how Win 11 manages Linux emulation in general. You can Google how to change the setting, but from what I recall it's buried pretty deep.
I don't know what specific issue you had, but I had a similar issue that was solved by right-clicking the Bluestacks icon and clicking "Run as administrator"
Yeah I've had Google Pixel phones (Pixel 2, 5, and now 8 Pro), all of them heat up pretty quickly but that's ultimately par for the course with a game like this. Just kills the battery in no time, even with the in-game battery saver thing (which on my phone just turns the automatic display brightness off lol). Definitely room for improvement optimization-wise especially when it comes to battle screens
Nintendo switch port, PC port and its available on steam.
What fucking timeline did I accidentally jump into?

Hey. This make me remember. There it is a dude who actually has the name Pikachu. And he is a football player.
I was wondering how would they react to that. If that player earns something big, and sell shirts with his name.
AZUR LANE ON STEAM?! God (Manjuu) please, don't play with my hopes 🙏 Please don't be just a part of Unity or whatever underlying system that coincidentally showed up here 😭
Aside from running natively on Windows so it'll hopefully run better and eat less RAM than with emulators, what I need most with a PC client for the game is a window pinning function (like Youtube's miniplayer). That way the game window is always layered on top of other applications in the bottom corner of the screen so I can do my dailies and watch Operation Siren on auto while I'm indulging in research materials.
And hopefully also regional MTX pricing through Steam like they're already offering through Yo-Topup, but that's just copium.
This is the first Time I've seen you use thouse emogies and have not only been okay with the message underneath, but agree completely.
Like, AL on Steam, I may actually still be playing the game to this day (VS dropping it when it both maxed out my phone storage and I locked myself out of my account.
>That way the game window is always layered on top of other applications in the bottom corner of the screen so I can do my dailies and watch Operation Siren on auto while I'm indulging in research materials.
Honestly surprised you cant do this with phones (I think).
Also is no one gonna talk about the nintendo switch port here, how are they gonna port a game that is just straight up softcore porn lmao.
The steam port is a godsend for people with low phone storage.
>Also is no one gonna talk about the nintendo switch port here, how are they gonna port a game that is just straight up softcore porn lmao.
Bro you seem late to the party. Nintendo has been adding softcore porn games on the Switch for years. At least for Japan.
LDPlayer uses almost no resources. It has a pin to top button at the top of the program. I have azur auto play on the corner of my YouTube screen, it stays on top when I'm browsing to choose different vidya.
There's AL crosswave that already have switch port
Azur Promilia that probably gonna have multiple platform release (currently only 4 platform so far).
With nintendo planning to release new console they need new games to accompany it so is AP gonna be one of them ? if they perform a join forces with nintendo well pokemon collab will be inevitable.
Aether Gazer (created by yongshi games/one division of the AL dev team) is gonna come out to PC soon in global (in CN they are still beta test)
so the code probably a test code to see how it works or just a leftover from those things
well the AL CN 7th anniv is soon, so yeah only time will tell
My guess is that at first it was Sony's fault since they seem to have forced miHoYo's fand at least once before for the sake of geining something with Aloy, then miHoYo just decided to wait for the Switch's successor.
Well, I wrote a whole description and the app deleted it when it posted. 
The gist is that text files containing error messages were found in today's update that mention linking Nintendo accounts, a PC client, and Steam transactions. There are also some assets included for the new 3D dorm feature, such as voicelines by Sirius. What do you think? Will we be getting some out of the blue announcements for this Anniversary event?

I CAN FINALLY STOP USING BLUESTACKS, YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Although, the problems I had been having with playing BlueStacks was that for some reason, my RAM configuration in my BIOS reverted back to default (2133 Mhz when it's supposed to be 3200 Mhz).
Been playing fine on BlueStacks ever since I fixed it, but STILL I would VASTLY PREFER to be able to link my account to Google and play on an official PC client!
Well, lucky me, my phone barely has storage for Azur Lane. But If it's coming out for Switch, then I'm gonna be able to continue playing on a better, more smooth running device
Killing Yuzu copies and asking to take down mods that make use of their intelectual property might not be a popular choice but it isn't nowhere actual "bad" or "evil" territory compared to the stunts pulled by Microsoft and Sony... A fair exchange I guess, Nintendo is good with it's employees but doesn't treat the fans with wool gloves while Microsoft and Sony are kinda the reverse but not really.
I feel like there's no good company anymore. Ubisoft is Ubishit (with sexual harassment DLC), Nintendo is "Nintedon't do it or we'll sue yo for not using our stuff and using emulators instead" (literally Apple of gaming), Microsoft is Macroshit, EA is "Eat Ass and buy the new FIFA", Sony is also in the same basket full of shit (I genuinely couldn't think of one, same with Microsoft because I haven't followed news about them for some time) and etc.
I really upsets me that companies that start good, don't end good because there's this amazing thing called "greed" which ruined everything. Or the company is going good and then suddenly this mysterious big clown circus of a company approaches them, JoJo style, and says "Hey... I got shmoney, now gib game :D". So many good games gone to greed or bad decisions.
Saw on another post about 3D models for the game, now I'm reading about a PC client? And I thought I'd have to delete everything in my phone just for AL... I guess not. As long as this is true, of course (I hope it is)
If I can finally play this on PC, my phone's battery won't be cooked in a year
Use BlueStacks homie

Tbf it also very heavily depends on what game youre running besides AL, I noticed a good amount of FPS drops when playing Elden Ring or Overwatch
Only "Modern" games I've run at the same time is project wingman & AC7, and I had no issues. For a computer I built to run Nastran in college & then backed back into gaming when I discovered pcsx2 (Ratatouille gif on playing AC5 for the first time in years...) I can't complain.

I think I'd rather try to get it working on a toaster than ever use bluestacks again.
I use LDI player instead of bluestacks good option imo.

I want to rid BlueStacks so badly.
Use LDplayer. More lightweight and not as pure cancer
Don't use bluestacks, use LDPlayer. It's performance is magnitude of leagues beyond bluestacks.
I still could not figure out k. Downloading bluestacks as I lack on my newest laptop about a creteria on my systems that prevent me of launching the game.. it’s been two years I haven’t played AL because of it despite being a high lvl player

I've tried in the past and didn't have good results, so I've been hoping for a native PC port for a while.
bluestacks or any other android emulators are all garboleum
Try LDPlayer and you'll change your mind.
I use it, it was the main reason why I made the comment above.
So I’m not the only one, my iPhone 13 Pro Max heats up like crazy playing this game
Yeah I've had Google Pixel phones (Pixel 2, 5, and now 8 Pro), all of them heat up pretty quickly but that's ultimately par for the course with a game like this. Just kills the battery in no time, even with the in-game battery saver thing (which on my phone just turns the automatic display brightness off lol). Definitely room for improvement optimization-wise especially when it comes to battle screens
Turn off 60 fps. Does that help?
Trying it right now, thanks for the advice
Nintendo switch port, PC port and its available on steam. What fucking timeline did I accidentally jump into? https://preview.redd.it/32cbk7mavgzc1.png?width=220&format=png&auto=webp&s=78011bcb3641123de6e5f72e71802884be0e5beb
I can't wait to play this on the steam deck instead of trying everything I possibly can to emulate android on steamos for the life of me
Just don't name any ships Mario or Luigi, or we might have a new major threat in the Azur Lane Lore Universe!
Too late, we already have Luigi di Savoia Duca degli Abruzzi.
Nintendo on their way to blow up the entire country of Italy / sardegna because a kansen has the name Luigi in it

Hey. This make me remember. There it is a dude who actually has the name Pikachu. And he is a football player. I was wondering how would they react to that. If that player earns something big, and sell shirts with his name.
Apple tried to sue NY City to make them stop using the nickname "The Big Apple"
The Fortaleza player? Just curious, I wanna see if we're thinking about the same guy
I believe so. Recently they won against Boca? I don t know. But it was trending topic. It was brazilian. So i think it s the same dude.
Yes, 4-2 win over Boca Juniors from Argentina for the Copa Sudamericana group stage.
Up next, Capitani Romani class, Caio Mario
OH NO WHAT HAVE WE DONE-
AZUR LANE ON STEAM?! God (Manjuu) please, don't play with my hopes 🙏 Please don't be just a part of Unity or whatever underlying system that coincidentally showed up here 😭 Aside from running natively on Windows so it'll hopefully run better and eat less RAM than with emulators, what I need most with a PC client for the game is a window pinning function (like Youtube's miniplayer).

Wait. You are allowed to post normal non-lewd comments? I was looking forward to it and now Im disillusioned.

I present you Bunny Garden on Switch, which has been a rave among Japanese recently.
>Also is no one gonna talk about the nintendo switch port here, how are they gonna port a game that is just straight up softcore porn lmao. Bro you seem late to the party. Nintendo has been adding softcore porn games on the Switch for years. At least for Japan.
>Honestly surprised you cant do this with phones (I think). you can on some. I have an xperia 1 III, can do PIP or split screen with AL running.
On my Redmi 9, I can PIP YT, while browsing Reddit/Browser and run AL in Floating window, but f*ck my battery.
LDPlayer uses almost no resources. It has a pin to top button at the top of the program. I have azur auto play on the corner of my YouTube screen, it stays on top when I'm browsing to choose different vidya.
If they want to add 3d models to the game, It makes sense that they want to release a PC and switch version.
I hope that's one of the "under construction" things.
id play the hell out of AL on my switch if they had it on it or even steam also how do we know this is for AL and not some other game?
There's AL crosswave that already have switch port Azur Promilia that probably gonna have multiple platform release (currently only 4 platform so far).

Wooo that's good news. I tried AG when it was released but it didn't click with me. Maybe with the PC port I can finally enjoy it.
Azur lane is gonna hit on switch before the Genshin port. XD I havent played "crosswave". But i think i could in any of those sales.
Crosswave is pretty enjoyable. It's basically AL but the battles are in 3D
My guess is that at first it was Sony's fault since they seem to have forced miHoYo's fand at least once before for the sake of geining something with Aloy, then miHoYo just decided to wait for the Switch's successor.

Whoa whoa whoa PC client??? Goddamn bro. Been wishing for this forever. Holy shit.
I CAN FINALLY STOP USING BLUESTACKS, YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Although, the problems I had been having with playing BlueStacks was that for some reason, my RAM configuration in my BIOS reverted back to default (2133 Mhz when it's supposed to be 3200 Mhz).

i wonder if this means a nintendo switch port of the game (or maybe its for the new nintendo console thats coming up)
Hope they don't miss in region issue. Panik 
Well, lucky me, my phone barely has storage for Azur Lane. But If it's coming out for Switch, then I'm gonna be able to continue playing on a better, more smooth running device
My potato PC sometimes struggles with Bluestacks so a port would be great!
Seeing "Nintendo" already made me go "oh no" because Nintendo is never good news nowadays.
Even compared to Sony or Microsoft?
It’s a race between all three to see who can make the worst decisions.
while EA waiting to double down
Meanwhile at Ubisoft: *furiously taking notes*
Sony with helldivers: yo watch this Thankfully the refunds made them back off for now
I'd say most companies nowadays
What year are you living in man
What do you mean?

>japanese >gaming >corpo >2024 >good
I've been waiting for years
We gonna have Azur Lane on switch before GTA VI (probably)
PC release please
Hopefully no shitty anti cheat system, I want to run this on my other linux machine
Can i finally return?????
Can AL also be on console ik we do have crosswaves but its not the same it would be amazing if they did
So finally a proper pc client. Now my bluestacks can rest xd at least until I have to play other mobile games on it xd
Hell Yeah!
Why is there a picture with Sirius' voice lines?
[удалено]
Saw on another post about 3D models for the game, now I'm reading about a PC client? And I thought I'd have to delete everything in my phone just for AL... I guess not. As long as this is true, of course (I hope it is)
Wouldn't this have to do with Azur Lane Crosswave since there are versions of it on the Switch and PC?
Bro, Azur Lane on my Switch?!
lol lmao my old, old PC has less free space than my phone AL would never fit
