Not sure whats up here, but here's what I've experienced so far:
first attempt at running the game (pcsx2 1.2.1) I figured it was a write off: severe polygon distortion (to the point where it was comical), entire backgrounds dissapearing, etc. didn't manage to grab a screen shot, but it was ridiculous.
Now, I boot up the game, and holy heck it works just fine? Not even any slowdown or anything. I play to a point where I've seen some other people have problems with it (Valley of Lester, apparently since there's moving water textures the slowdown is so bad it just crashes. fixable, apparently.)
So, predictably, the game crashes.
I try booting the thing back up, no change to my settings/plugins or anything like that, and all of a sudden I'm getting extreme flickering, black screen at some points, some frames freezing and layering on top of other things (interestingly, the opening FMV is smooth as ever), but! no slowdown or audio glitching or anything like that. I can get past the menu through sheer force of will, but the actual gameplay is more of the same.
I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M, but my computer has a secondary graphics card built in (thank you Dell), a Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (ive tried switching between the two, neither seems to be affecting the problem). It shouldn't be a processing issue either (2.6GHz processor, 16GB RAM). I've played other graphics-heavy ps2 games just fine, just wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this? I've posted my settings etc in the photos
