Hi
I've started playing the English-patched version of FFXII Int. and generally PCSX2 plays it very well. However, I'm struggling to get rid of some strange shadow effects and figure out some weird slowdowns.
1. shadows:
I've read a few posts about strange shadows (notably, here), but that was posted last year. The shadow issue seems to disappear if I turn AA off in GSDX, but I kinda want to keep that on. Is there still no way to fix this issue?
2. slowdowns
I've also read in several posts that FFXII (not nec. IZJS or patched-IZJS) runs "perfectly," even at higher resolutions. I've experimented with several resolutions and lately I've just kept it at 1920 x 1080 (the res. of my screen). I usually have a consistent 60fps (or higher if I press F4), but I've noticed slowdowns (ranges between approx. 50-58 fps) specifically when I view certain enemies directly. It seems to happen with enemies that "glow," but I could be wrong. Actually it's happened almost exclusively with the bosses (Tiny Airship Remora at the very beginning, Bush Fire in Garamscythe Waterway, Mimick Queen in Barheim Passage). I've tried several combinations of internal resolution (incl. native and multiples of that, as well as custom 1920 x 1080 etc.) and the slowdown seems to be unaffected. I've turned AA on and off and fiddled with audio latency and still no change. Weird. Is there anything I can do about this?
Here are my PC specs and PCSX2 (SVN 5445) settings:
CPU: i5 2500K 3.3GHz, overclocked to 4.5GHz
GPU: GTX570, overclocked from 770/1540/2000 to 900/1800/2000
