Snowblind studios screen, Champions - Return to Arms

[Preet]

Why it useless? That way we could find what is the problem !!

The emulog.txt automatically saves log in real time.
Once pcsx2 crashed, you just have to open this txt file and you'll have evrything needed.

Oh that thing,btw he didn't say my pcsx2 crash.he said it frezzes in game.
If no keys working,then he can find emulog in pcsx2 directory.
Orblight you have to run game in software mode to game work with extra rendering threads.beacuse they only work with software mode,i think this game also work only in software mode !!

[The Old Refuge]

set extra rendering threads to 4 in video plugin settings !!
what this do is tell pcsx2 how many cores u'r computer have,if u have more than 2.u can set them there.then u'r speed will increase & hope this problem also get solved !!

3 cores the EE use a one as well 2 if MTVU is active ( which is useless in SW mode and may cause slowdowns . )

Sorry i was little foolish,i didn't see that

I'm currently running the game in software mode.

I'm not having any performance problems, the only problem is the freezing on that screen.

You could try enabling the SkipMpeg gamefix and see if that solves it. It might make the menus go a bit screwy looking (if Dark Alliance is anything to go by) but it might get around the freezing.

However you arent using the version you claimed to be using, please try the latest SVN revision from here: http://pcsx2.net/download/development/svn.html

Thank you so much, it works! I'll check out the new revision you posted as well. THANK YOU!

These games do not work in stable and freeze up with it the snowblind fix is only in later SVN's you also need to use the 4GB patch otherwise you will have missing graphics and very low frame rates plus a massive list of "Out of memory" lines on the log.

I am also not liking that fact that you have everything in the protected documents folder move eveyrthing to their own folder on the root of the C drive aka not in any folder except maybe C:\PCSX2\ for example.
