Hi guys.
I was running 1.1 when I played through God of War 1 and found some settings that achieved 60 fps throughout the whole game. Then I tried to play God of War 2 with the same setting and averaged 25-35 fps with occasional spikes into the 40's and some drops into the teens. I played around with the settings, speedhacks, etc and could not get above the average.
Then I came and downloaded 1.2 and tested GoW2 while at the wifi hotspot and without doing anything to the default settings it was immediately showing 55-60 fps in the title screen and opening cut-scene. I knew that did not guarantee a smooth run all the way through, but I thought it was a great start and showed that the update fixed some speed problems and that surely if it was starting out so well I could toggle some settings if I got any slowdown later on.
I went home where I have no wifi and BAM...back to the 25-35 fps average. I played around with every setting and couldn't get any more speed out of it.
I am at my hotspot again and decided to check and see and sure enough...60 fps for the opening cut-scene and first playable area (have not gone further as I left my controller at home as I was not planning on doing any gaming here, just came to finalize some pre-employment paperwork)
I am NOT computer savvy but I don't understand why being on wifi would affect the performance of my laptop in regards to PCSX2.
Anyone have any ides/explainations? Also if anyone has any recommendations as to some good settings for my comp to run GoW2 at least in the 50fps (the slight slow down is bearable and actually helps me get more blocks in) I would be most grateful!
I am running on a laptop that's not too powerful, but it handles GoW1...I can't imagine GoW2 being THAT much more of a strain...
