Hi all! I found one Battlefront 2 Star wars thread, but it didn't help me at all. And, yes, i realize the compatibility list says menu only, but i can get it all the way to fighting and anywhere else if i want to.. it's just a little slow. My swbf2 is running really slow and i have choppy sound output. I am an average newbie and i am wondering if you all can help me config my cpu to make it run faster (Strangely, one day it was running about 100 fps and i was begging it to slow down and now it won't even go above 30 fps.).
CPU settings:
1 year old.
2gb ddr2 mem
windows vista
AMD Athlon 64bit
CPU Speed 999 MHZ
My graphics card stinks..... can only support sse2 i think.
i don't know my other specs because i am a newb and i hav no idea how to learn the other specs.
Anyway, my pcsx2 settings are......
IMPORTANT: I am running pcsx2 beta.r1888
i compressed the iso(.z) and am running it with linuz iso 0.9.0. (Yes, i hav also tried decompressing the iso and running it.... since i read it doesn't affect speed, i decided to save some computer space)
Bios = USA 2.00 (does the type of bios make it run faster?)
USBnull driver 0.6.0
FWNull drive 0.5.0
SPU2-X 1.2.0 Output is #2
Dev9null driver 0.4.0
Speed hacks: X2 cycle rate EE, escape hack, VU cycle stealing on high, status flag hack, int sync hack, enable iopx2 cycle rate, idle-loop fast forward.
i closed the debugging menu.
CPU config: EERec-EE/IOP recompiler; Multi threaded GS mode; and all VU recompilers
Frame limit - Normal; Detailed settings, 115,115,2,4 in consecutive order.
Advanced - Defaults
Graphics -GSDX9 (MSVC 14.00, SSE2) 0.9.0; 640x780 70HZ; Direct3D Pixel Shader 1.4 and 2.0(Don't know which one to use); Linear texture filtering, none others checked. I also can use GSDX10(MSVC 15.00, SSE2 0.1.4)
Well, that's all! I hope you guys can help me speed up my game.
BTW I tested all the configs and they say they work......
O ya! Controllers are LilyPad svn (r1853) 0.10.0 for both.
Thanks!(Wow... that was long)
EDIT: I am now using GSDX10(MSVC 15.00, SSE2 0.1.4) graphics because it is also compatible with Battlefront 2... but my real question here is what should I configure it to? I want 90-100% speed please thnx (And remember - strangely it was running at 100% and higher before..... and i tweaked the settings a little to see if the gameplay would go even faster, because it would run at about 70% while everything else ran at about 100+%) thnx again.
EDIT (Again): Yay! I found out my computer's specs....
