Hello! I've been trying to play FF dirge of cerberus on the PCSX2 1.4 but no matter what i try the game is with lag.
I've tried this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Cl-s1qZbQ
came to this link   forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Question-about-the-new-version-of-PCSX2?pid=175300#pid175300

I have a core I5-3337U
6gb of RAM
and a windows 10 64x
anyone cam help me please!
Sorry for my bad english and if I made some mistake

Are you using any non-default PCSX2 settings? If so, can you post them(all)?

That GSdx plugin was made for PCSX2 1.0.0., which is really outdated. The plugin won't work with newer versions. I don't know exactly what it improves, but it might not be necessary anymore as GSdx has improved a lot since then.

What do the EE and GS percentages at the top of the game window say when the game lags?

EE is 90%~99%
Gs is 49%~73%

That indicates your CPU is struggling. Try turning on the MTVU speedhack and moving the EE slider one step at a time to see if it removes the lag (Config > Emulation Settings > Speedhacks tab).

I set EE to -1 and removed most of the lag sometimes it lags but now at least the game is playable now
thank you!
