Xenosaga Episode I Text Issue

[TwilightWind]

The game seems to run mostly fine at native resolution on my setup, with small slowdowns here and there, but nothing significant.

However, when I got the first tutorial battle, the tutorial text wouldn't appear, only showing blank boxes which I was still able to click through.
Does anyone know how I might resolve this issue?
Sorry if this question has been asked before, I couldn't find a fix for it anywhere.

For reference if it's needed, I'm playing on a machine with i5-8250U, Intel UHD 620 graphics and 8GB DDR4 RAM, and using the 1.4.0 version of PCSX2.

First try to update to the latest version which you can get at: https://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/

Also please post your emulog.txt here while using [.code][./code] without the periods.

I'll give that new version a try as well thanks. (Also idk why the log gives the date as Jan 5th 2016 but yeah)

[CK1]

According to the emulog, you're still using 1.4.0. Did you try the latest dev build as StriFe suggested?

[TwilightWind]

I've downloaded 1.5.0 but haven't tested whether it solves the issue yet, and yeah that log is from before I made this thread.

EDIT: Tested it just now and all seems to be fine, so there must have just been a problem with the old version. Thanks for letting me know about the newer version.

[StriFe]

No Problem, have fun with this awesome series ^^
