Random Lag Spikes
#21
Well I'm happy to say that I moved my iso folder to a slave drive and I was able to play gow for a good half hour frame drop basically gone. I had one slight stutter but it was barely noticeable when it went between regular game play and a cut scene.

I tried playing gt3 the same way but it basically crashed my computer but I think the file may have been corrupted or something I'm going to keep messing around. But the half hour of gow was the most enjoyable experience I've had playing pcsx2 since I've started using it so I'm very happy atm.

Once you get pcsx2 going there is nothing better

Well I just bought an M.2 SSD so if I have to I can use that but I find it bizarre that PCSX2 could be so demanding on the hard drive whereas another emulator like Dolphin which can be even more demanding at times is content with a regular 5400 RPM drive. I mean there's definitely a spike in usage when the lag occurs but nothing obscene. It shoots up to roughly 30%, not 100% like when I'm actually transferring large files.

All I can say is that iI seems to be working for me. Honestly I just played gow for another hour virtually frame drop free. I'm actually having a good time. Get this though my slave drives are all standard hdds... my main drive that windows is installed is a 250 gb ssd so all I can figure is that pcsx2 is communicating with its own files, c++ dlls, graphics card is communicating with its direct x library and windows still messing with the page file and whatever other bs is going on in the background just not allowing pcsx2 enough bandwidth to read the ISO at the same time.

I'm guessing through the lack of replies that everyone involved with this thread having this issue has fixed it by either running iso off a slave hdd or playing off a disc and staring at there tvs jaws dropped bc they can't believe it. But I'll be dammed I fired up gt3 and what do you know playing it from a slave drive it's smooth as butter. Let this be a lesson to everyone here hence forth there will no longer be RANDOM FRAME RATE DROPS.

That's weird though. I have a single 1TB 7200 RPM HDD and I don't experience this problem at all.

I wonder if something else isn't thrashing your guys main hard drive. Have you used Resource Monitor to check?

My only guess would be motionjoy is the culprit. I've disabled every non essential startup programs antivirus ect. I tried using x input wrapper. Couldn't get it to work right. Motionjoy probably mining my hdd and sending all my private files to China. Lol too bad nothing On my pc except games and maybe porn browser history lol

The X input wrapper won't work right unless you completely get all of the motioninjoy stuff out. I had to do a teamviewer session with a guy recently to help with that issue.

But honestly as much as I dislike it, I doubt MIJ is the issue. But like I said, you can run Resource Monitor which is built into Windows Vista and up, and it has a HDD tab while will tell you what programs are doing what to the HDD.

Glad to hear you fixed it and since pretty soon I'm gonna be rocking an SSD once I install it I'll probably be able to say "au revoir" to this problem forever too. Happy
