Snowblind Studious 4gb patch

[skullknight10]

I'm trying to play Champions of Norrath. I know that Snowblind Studious games aren't too kind to pcsx2 but I was told a 4gb patch would fix this. I downloaded the patch but what do I do with it after that? What folder does it need to be in? Thanks!

Run it and apply it to pcsx2.exe

What jesalvein said and you may want to turn off the widescreen patches when playing the snowblind engine games as I have found the games run better in 4:3 since its not loading as much as it would be in 16:9 andd zooming all the way helps as well to increase FPS for the same reason turning widescreen patches help. it cuts back on whats showing up on screen thus decreases the load on the emulator and thus increasing FPS

How do I go about doing that? Still getting low 30's for FPS after the patch. I wonder if my settings are wrong.

forget it. your pc is too slow for a game like Champions of norath

[jesalvein]

oh, I see.
the 4Gb patch prevents the game from crashing.
but it won't bring you more FPS.

Your CPU won't be strong enough to play this game smoothly whatever you do.
Just play it on your PS2 for now.

What is slow about my PC? CPU is stock 3.4GHz but OC'd to 3.8GHz. I have zero issues running games like Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on high settings. So how could I not play an old PS2 game?

PC != Emulators

I also don't believe that you're running advanced warfare at high, since my gpu is slightly faster and I play it at low.

That cpu is also weak for something like emulation and entirely different platform
