Scarface the world is yours running slow

[moonlightshine]

Hi, so I am trying to play Scarface: the world is yours on my pc but it's running really slow in-game. When I start the game, it runs near 100% but its when in game in runs near 35%-50%.

I tried changing a few settings and speedhacks won't do anything.

Here's what saying on top of the pcsx2 window:

Slot:2 | Speed: 39% (23.50) | NTSC | Limiter: Normal | GSdx OFL HW | 638x448 | Auto | Interlaced
| EE: 60% (it goes from 20% to 75% but mostly around 60% to 66%) GS: 95%

Here's my specs:
Acer Aspire ATC-220-EB52
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
AMD A10 7800 APU with Radeon R7 Graphics (but i added a AMD Radeon R7 200 Series)
CPU: AMD A10-7800 RADEON R7, Compute cores 4C+8G 3.50Ghz (overclocked to 3.7GHz (i think))
2 1TB Hard Drives
16 GB RAM DDR3

tell me if you need some more info.

I haven't been playing much other games but the only ones that works fine is Bully, vice city stories and gta 3 that  i remember as Sims 2 castaway I can't see everything in boxes (such as interactions, clothes, hairs,ect) and the godfather is full of lines so i cant see.

Thanks!

I did change some of the settings meanwhile, and my pc froze like 5 times (twice while trying to write this) but i set it back to the time I first started this thread for the logs. I changed the Framskipping to constant skipping at around 100 for the 'frame to skip' and left the other one at 2 and set the turbo to 500% but my pc kept on freezing so i switched it back to default in that section.

Thanks!

[jesalvein]

ok.
your CPU is a bit weak for this game, and you'll probably get problems whatever you do.
Since you have an AMD GPU, OGL renderer won't help you

I suggest you actually try using a newer build, though

But don't expect any miracle

[moonlightshine]

Hi, so I know my cpu is weak as I can barely emulate anything (I could barely emulate Minecraft on Bluestacks) but I did change some settings again, but now I'm having lines over the screen but my pc is not freezing anymore. If I could remove those lines it'd be great, but the game is still playable, as I can see pretty well, it is just making it looks strange. The lines appears a few seconds after I loaded the save, they appear slowly form bottom to top.

I did switch from OpenGL to DirectX and it's helping loads.

If there's a way to remove those lines then it'd be great but otherwise it's fine! Thanks!

[jesalvein]

what about newer build ?

[moonlightshine]

what about newer build ?

So i tried to download the newer build, but I can't seem to transfer my saves to the new version. At first when i tried the game, the lines weren't there and so I could see. They started when I was in the city, and so I'm not really interested in restarting all my saves with all the games. It keep saying the save is imcomplete or corrupted. I tried transferring the memcards and sstates folders, but it won't work. I also tired to boot without cd and to transfer memory card 1 and leave the second one empty to copy from memory card one to 2 and it still doesn't work.

Thanks!

[jesalvein]

you're only using savestates ?
bad idea. you'll encouter problems whatever you do

[moonlightshine]

you're only using savestates ?
bad idea. you'll encouter problems whatever you do

Then, I think everything is corrupted as whatever I do it says corrupted or incomplete. I use save states because whenever I would go back on the game it was taking me to the beginning each time, so i just saved on the savestates and load it each time. I'll just redo the game to where i was and then see if I still get the lines problem. I wonder though if I was doing anything wrong when I was saving as I can't find the saves for Sims 2 castaway and Bully on the memory card using the browser when i start with no cd. I don''t know how to get back to where i was in  game without using savestates.

Thanks!

[moonlightshine]

So, I found out how to get my saves back, but my game is running slow again, 35%-50% in the city, but way higher when at the beginning or when it is loading. There's no lines anymore though, which is great. I tried changing settings again, but nothing really make any changes. openGL is working even worse then or the older version.

At this point I don't really know what to do to make it run faster.

Here's how it looked like when i set it to opengl (it went up to the task bar before i took took the pic)
