How to keep FPS when I run a game

[chema3]

Hi, when I´m trying to play a game, at first it starts with 45-55 fps, but later fps are 20-30 and the game run very slow, and its uncomfortable

Any solution?

Regards!

I´m using the 1.0.0 r5350 version

I´m only using this non default setting, because i have read that if I use this, the game will run better. ("preajuste")

#1: If you're ever having problems with a game, use the default settings... don't adjust settings just because a random search told you so, even if it was mentioned on these forums (unless it was a fairly recent post) this is because PCSX2 is ever changing and things that were true a year ago may not be the case now. Most settings are perfect as default, and most games that require special settings already adjust to those by default.

#2: Slowdowns on this game are rampant on the video card end. You can try lowering your internal resolution. Also, running from a DVD directly is NOT recommended because of how PC DVD drives differ from PS2 drives (PC drives are constantly spinning down the disc when not in use, this causes massive lag)

Instead google imgburn, it's a free program that will turn your DVD into an ISO file. Run the ISO file instead and it should also help pretty dramatically.

EDIT: I have the solution for my problem. I was using one non default setting, in the video plugin.

Now I can play very good, the FPS always are 50+, thanks to all for the help!
