[`IcE]

Hello.

I get this error message in the loading screen of a game I play when I choose to go the main menu.

Could anyone please help me?

Any emulator info I need to provide?
Thank you in advance

[jesalvein]

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

[`IcE]

why did you change this ?

I was was recently fiddling around with settings and forgot about it. I've set it back on automatic (default).

So, does anything give a hint on why the error occurs?

Edit: Wow, the game looks so much better with those settings on, and I couldn't figure out why some things weren't rendering properly. Thank you for that, I'm just still new to all of this

[jesalvein]

Basically, don't touch what you don't 7nderstznd. Default settings are best
