Full Version: FFXIII slows to a crawl after a while

So I've spent the better part of the evening trying to get PCSX2 working on my laptop so I can play FFXII on the go as well as on my desktop.

It's an i7 Q720 1.60GHx, 6GB RAM, Radeon HD 5730

So after playing with settings, I got it working great. Smooth, fast, wonderful. Even with a lot of monsters on the screen, it's working great.

However, after playing for like 15 minutes or so, it gets so slow and choppy (even in a small area with no monsters or NPCs on screen) that it's unplayable. I think something might be wrong with PCSX2 itself, because when I try to close it, it freezes up and I have to kill it in task manager.

Anyone ever experience this? Any ideas what the cause might be? I don't think it has anything to do with resources or settings.
Run RealTemp or something like it and monitor your CPU temps while playing. It's likely you are overheating your CPU.
Wow, that's a very real possibility. Good thinking, thanks.
