Hey everyone,
I'm a new ZenFone 10 owner, and I absolutely love this phone's performance, but I've run into a really weird and specific bug that I'm hoping someone here can help with.
I play a lot of Among Us, and I've been using a specific version of the game that a friend recommended for its fun features. The problem is, on my new ZenFone 10, the game has a tiny but noticeable micro-stutter only when I'm assigned the Imposter role. When I'm a Crewmate, it's perfectly smooth. The moment the "Imposter" screen shows, any action I take (venting, sabotaging) has a slight delay or freeze. It's making the game unplayable when I'm the imposter, which is the best part!
Now, for full transparency, this isn't the standard version from the Play Store. It's a popular modded version, often known as the Among Us Always Imposter build. My theory is that there might be a conflict with the ZenFone 10's Game Genie or some performance setting.
To be super clear about the version causing the issue, I got it from here. I'm sharing the link so you can see if it's a known problematic source or if the app itself is just poorly coded for Android 13/14.

I'm posting this to ask for advice before I give up and go back to the basic version. My questions are:
- Has anyone else experienced stuttering in specific games (not just Among Us) that seems to be triggered by certain in-game events on the ZenFone 10?
- Is there a setting in Armoury Crate or Game Genie (like performance mode, touch sampling rate, etc.) that I should tweak to prevent this?
- Could this be a permissions issue? Like maybe the app is trying to draw over other apps and the ZenFone's OS is restricting it, causing the stutter?
I've already tried clearing the cache and reinstalling, but the issue persists. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. This phone is a beast, so it's frustrating to see it stutter on a simple game like this.
Thanks in advance!
