Dark Cloud Performance Issues
#1
Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600
GTX 1070 TI
16GB ram
Windows 10 

So I've been messing around all day trying to see if i can configure the settings on the emulator to run this game at 60 which while my cpu is the weakest part of my pc I thought it should still be enough to run it properly. When I load a save I put onto the memory card I get about 35 to 40 frames in the zone i'm in. I'm not quite sure if I just need stronger specs or if i'm just not understanding the settings properly and dont know how to set them up.

Thanks to anyone who can help or reply!

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!):

EE% hanging around 98-100 
GS% anywhere between 30-40 

 These seem to be consistent whenever attempting to play
