Random slowdown?
#1
Heya. Having a bit of a problem with PCSX2 1.2.1. At random times, during all the games I've tested, the game will slowdown for about 1-2 seconds, while the music slows to a crawl, then fixes itself.

I've tried to figure out what it is, I thought it was due to loading in the ISOs but nope, it's completely random.

I use CoreTemp to manage my loads, clock speed, temperature etc, and I'd say they're all fine, though the load never goes above 20%.

Keep in mind this is in all games I've tried; Kingdom hearts 1 and 2, Persona 3 FES, FFX and SSX 3, as well as Tricky (These are PAL ISOs, as they are dumped from the discs)

I use a Cooler Master Notepal X3 to cool my laptop, cus god knows laptops have terrible cooling. I get maximum 75*C, averaging around 70.

Apart from this, all my games run at max speed, with this being the only hiccup.


Here's some specs;
Intel i7-4702MQ (2.2ghz, 3.2ghz turbo)
Nvidia Geforce GT750M
8GB DDR3 Memory
750GB Seagate hard drive
128gb Toshiba SSD

Here's my graphics settings for all who are curious;

Does your EE%, VU%, or GS% increase significantly during the slowdowns? Any slowdowns on my computer occur for a split second after loading, but none of these increase to 100%. However, it seems that yours occur for much longer.

Nope, they seem pretty average to me. However, I have noticed at the VERY start of the stutter, for a split second they both reduce to 0%. I've reduced my graphics to the bare minimum just for testing right now. I took this screenshot as soon as I heard the music slow, my temps are recorded in the system tray.

It's odd that there's no indication for what the slowdown is. If this occurrence doesn't happen at the same parts of your games, I really don't know what the cause is. Sorry I couldn't help you any further with this.

No worries, I think I fixed it anyway; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtGN67ROjFo
