Hi all, I am having this weird situation where my FFXII suddenly becomes slowed down.
I am emulating it on PCSX2 ver 0.9.6 and my PC specs are sufficient enough that it used to be perfectly playable (60FPS) 90%+ of time, with little slow down during some scenes.
However, one day the game suddenly became slowed down (~30 - 40FPS).
I suspect that it may have been some Windows updates for the Microsoft's Visual Studio that caused it, but even after I uninstalled said updates, the situation remains.
I have even tried the latest version at that time (0.9.8) but it still gets stuck to 50% - 75% of the normal speed.
However, I also noticed that the main PCSX2 window contained 2 warning lines that I don't see when I emulate other games that can run perfectly.
The warning lines are:
ElfProgram different load addrs: paddr=0x017aeff0, vaddr=0x01780000
ElfProgram different load addrs: paddr=0x07000000, vaddr=0x00000000
The lines can be seen in the attached file.
I have a feeling that these warnings are related to the problem I'm facing but I am not sure what they refer to.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
Had to use a software called ThrottleStop and use it to unthrottle the CPU while playing.
And it got the game to be working at least 80% of the speed both at the field and at cities so that's good enough I guess.
