Hi everyone, I've been trying to fix an annoying problem with the end of MGS2. I get all the way to the very end of the game and then the final unskippable cutscenes seem to be freezing midway through playing. I'll paste the contents of a textfile in which I've been keeping a log of what I've tried. Please somebody help me out!!! It's the first playthrough of the game on PC so I can unlock Extreme to do big boss rank playthroughs.
unskippable cutscenes are freezing, EE at ~20% and GS@~4% at time of crash.
Tried waiting for game to progress anyway and nothing happens even after 30 mins.
Tried default settings, combinations of graphics, sound and recompiler settings, all give same result, see below.
Freezes after snake says real in the screenshot shown
Graphics:
gsdx d3d11 hw > Fail
gsdx d3d11 sw > Fail
null > fail (sound stops)
basic render driver open gl > fail
gsdx d3d8 hardware > fail
dsdx d3d9 software > fail
Sound SPU2-X:
Interpolation 0 and 4, Output modules 0,1 and 2 - same issue
Tried using no sound either (output 0) and same fail, screen doesn't progress
Recompiler:
superVU recompiler on vu0 and vu1 > fail
interpreter > fail
microVU recompiler > fail
Other Observations:
EE~20% GS~5% At time of crash
Speed = 100% and Framerate is Steady, changing between roughly 50.04 to 49.97
Tried using Save states and no save states, luckily I have a memcard save just at the last boss fight so I don't have to redo the whole game.
Game Versions
PAL, USA, Europe and USA Substance tested, same crash in the same place - This excludes bad rips and discs imo.
unskippable cutscene
tried own dvd (UK PAL), ripped iso, usa iso and also the Europe and usa version of substance
tried bios 1.6 and 2 for europe and bios 1.6 USA
cpu: 5960x
gpu: 980ti x4 (with and without sli) tested, driver version 373.06, shadowplay on and off tested
memory 16gb ddr4
os windows 10 anniversary
pcsx2 version 1.4.0, tried v 1.2 (same fail) and 1 (crashed at end of last boss fight before cutscene started)
I managed to progress a bit further by enabling the game hack to skip MPEG video, but the freeze then happens in the next scene (as shown in the screenshot)
Please anyone have any ideas or fixes, I really want to sort this out.
Thanks for the help
