Xenosaga Episode I(Thermal Blast Slowdown)

[Athelias]

Hello, I've been wondering if there is a fix for this issue? When you use Shion's Thermal Blast in battle, there is a huge slowdown. I have no other problems with the game, so I've just not being using Thermal Blast, but it would be great if I could use this skill.

I have an FX 8350 and Radeon HD 7950 3GB, 8GB Ram, Win 7.

This is all in hardware mode btw, and I have no other issues playing the game.

Turn down the resolution.

I just finished the game in entirety on my rig(See it in my profile).

Above 4x(on my rig), thermal blast causes major slowdown.

It's because of the insane amount of calls GSDX has to make to render all the particles in the animation.

So, either turn your res down some, or just live with it like I did ^_^

Also, using MSAA will cause it too.

Dont forget that this game has alot weird things going on in the engine cause those issue Dont remeber what they where but one of the devs' explained it on the XenosagaI topics that are buried around here. Thermal and few other skills and Mech battles in this game just cause slow downs, Along with some of the odd cutscene slow downs that may or may not be cause of MTVU, but for me MTVU is need for this game..

Ah, ok. Well I'm playing in 1920x1080 with MSAA x4. I turned down MSAA to x2 and it fixed the issue! ^^
