[Help] Star Ocean 3 (PAL) is too slow (10 fps)

[refraction]

Hmmmm, go to nvidia control panel,go to 3d menu, go to specific settings for programs, try to set your pcsx2.exe and select nvidia gpu; probably you use internal gpu Intel.

If you read this thread, we have already suggested this, twice ;p

New information

After playing 30mins, I reboot the game and changed the setting to Direct3D Hardware + Native 5x.

At this moment, the speed and quality was perfect ! Even when I have the control of the character.
But sometimes, the fps falls to near 20 or under 10 when I move to another rooms in the game. It's really weird... And it's not because they are too many people in this room : I'm in a big room with 10 guys and it's perfect (high quality, 50 fps) / I'm in a small square room with a bed and that's all and it's freezing (very low, 9 fps).

I think we need a very special setting for this game...



As you can see... Big place, some people, and it's perfect. But if I take a door to a little bedroom... Trololololo

[Mirage2000]

Like this. (Trololololooool...)

looks like a throotled down CPU due to overheating.
do you have some overheating problems ? Or a kind of software protection against overheating that could lower your CPU frequency when temp gets too high ?

[Mirage2000]

Not at all. :s
It's always between 50°C (normal) and 60°C max. (gaming).
Btw, on the 1st screen, you can see my CPU doesn't up a lot so...

And I stay probably 10min in the big room (1st screen) and move and look around. Never speed down, fps doesn't changed.

[Mirage2000]

Just a little up, coz it's very ugly to play on the Software quality ^^'

If someone found a solution... I'll be so grateful

[WarWeeny]

its realy wierd tho, ive played this game on a laptop too and i never had slowdowns whatsoever, also european version...
(i7 2670qm turbo 3.1 on pcsx2 2.8ghz, yours should be around the same value)
gt555m <<weaker gpu


first off drop that internal resolution to 2x not more not less. just stay on 2x as long till you get full speed allround, i know its possible and find it strange that you dont get it :/


could you post the following settings for me?

gsdx settings (2x native!) << if any hardware hacks are enabled disable them (pretty sure you didnt have it checked in the previous page but still better safe then sorry )
gs settings (emulation settings)
speedhacks settings
gamefix settings

can help you in about 8 hours or so, pretty late here xD so forgive me if i am going to respond quite late
but if i am correct its also late at your place, france and netherlands arent that far off xD

bookmarking this btw, so that i can react in the topic when i wake up

Getting 160 FPS here at the above first 3D scene at 3x scaling....
