Final Fantasy XII running slow

You are trying to run a file inside the game disk, this is not the right way to run the game.

If you made an ISO of your game you have to select the big file (around 4GB), if you're running the game from disc you need to select cdvdGigaherz as your cdvd plugin then change the option under the "CDVD" menu to Plugin instead of ISO.

FFXII is one of the more CPU demanding games. Try to OC your CPU to the 3.0ghz area to see some real imrpovements.

I feel the need to point this out, dispite the comment is old as dust:

my 2.2 is capable of playing this game at 60fps, constant. it's nowhere NEAR demanding.

well its a miracle you can run FF12 at 60flps constant on 2.2ghz, because i couldn't get constant 60flps on i7 @ 2.66ghz. And my C2D P8700 @ 2.5ghz is not even close to constant 60 flps, its like 50-58flps most of the time, sometimes 60flps, and thats with EE at 1 Vu at 2 and all others speed hacks checked. Ive read quite a few threads on FF12, and haven't seen anyone who could run it perfectly @ 2.5ghz, so i just dont see how you get full speed constantly @ 2.2ghz, good for you i guess

I have my own tricks, there's a thread I made full of them.

and haven't seen anyone who could run it perfectly @ 2.5ghz

I did

[vdgamer]

I did

you mind sharing your configuration for FF12 then, i have laptop C2D @ 2.5ghz ati hd4650 1gb and 4g ddr3 ram windows 7 pro x64, you think i can get constant 60 flps running ff12 ? I tried but i couldn't.

[Saiki]

probably due to it being a laptop check off 8bit textures and native, see if it plays at 60 constant (or near constant)

He can also play Crysis on High, so it's no wonder

[vdgamer]

i can play crysis on high on that laptop as well, and when i said that i havent seen anyone run ff12 perfectly @ 2.5 ghz i didnt mean using native res, who plays on native anyways, it looks so bad, i ran ff12 on that laptop 50-58 flps sometimes 60 using 1366x768 which is hd resolution and its max for that laptop. its totally normal that ff12 runs full speed using native on 2.5 ghz, but its just unplayable from visual standpoint.

[Saiki]

native graphics is how it was meant to played, it was never meant to stretch them like pcsx2 does

Note: the crysis thing is an inside joke.
