Call of Duty 3 Problem

[GhostSlayer]

Hello everyone,

I am new to the forums but I actually use PCSX2 since 0.9.8 and since then I've had a serious GS problem with the famous Call of Duty 3 game. The textures is not as in the original PS2 form and so the gameplay is super slow it is as if the gameplay is just moving pictures.

The screenshot will prove my point much clearer. Anyone knows what to do with it

Quick note: I used EE full clamping mode and turned speedhacks off and on and it still goes this way.

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!):

ok, 3 things :
1 - Why are you using D3D9 renderer ?
2 - 1.4.0 is quite old now. better give latest GIT build a try
3 - CoD3 is heavily demanding and your CPU won't cope with it. sorry

1- That's the default renderer for my laptop.
2- Will do
3- I tried it in a lot of CPUs really, so I guess the problem might be in the ISO itself?

Okay so I gave the GIT build a try, and it did help on some stuff regarding the textures and a bit faster but the game still lacks appropriate speed for gameplay and much other textures.

dx11 would be better. OGL renderer too
still, don't know what kind of CPU you tried, but if they are around the same STR as yours, that won't do it.
your gpu won't help either BTW

how did you make your iso ? i personnally don't think it can be the issue, but...

[kozarovv]

This game is very hard to be playable at reasonable speed on PCSX2 (and other ps2 emus). GSDX HW mode is broken, and SW mode is really demanding playing it.

Set SW mode on gsdx (OGL for nvidia, DX11 for AMD cards), and try to mess with EE cycle rate, and EE cycle skipping settings. But i doubt you will be able to play it on laptop from i5-2520M era.

[GhostSlayer]

Sorry for the late response, but I do have some good news. I messed with the Video plugins and set texture filtering to nearest with DX11 Software mode, and disables Framelimit and enabled turbo. Didn't need the mess with cycle rate and skippings. Game went smooth and clear as if from the console itself.

[llarisaabramova]

Damn dude, how could you play with that image quality. I've just started playing too. So I can relate how important it is to take into account all factors to make your game better.
