) then you get that horse key thingy and then you can unlock the door where you first entered the steeds of time.
Inside there is a place where you can use the key on some emblem thing and a cutscene should trigger after which you get Cronos Rage.
The thing is that cutscene just wont trigger, after i press R1 Kratos just stands there and i cant move 
any suggestions? Patches?
in essence there is no fmv to skip because it doesnt start in the first place.
-Things that i tried: different gsdx versions (r1873, r2085, r2348)
-Using native resolution
-Disabling all speed hacks
-gamefix_skipdraw=0-4
-Idea came up that my iso is somehow broken ->made a new one ->changed nothing^^
no change till now, the fmv wont start.
got exaCTLY the same problem
any idea ?

Strange things happen but today i tried again, (skipdraw=0 fogging is minimal with the newest gsdx2350 and looks nice with hdr type effect, no idea if it had any effect on the not working cutscene).
I made a savestate inside the room where the fmv with cronos rage should take place, and i always loaded from there. But i wanted to have a look at the game and so i loaded a savegame before the Theseus fight and played through that again, as i said just to look if i want to play with skipdraw=0, and oh wonder as i came to the place where i was stuck before, it worked. The fmv played just fine i didnt even have to skip it.
I dont think it has anything to do with skipdraw as i tried that before and it didnt work, so maybe its a savestate thing?
Or maybe my pc thought today was a nice day to play that fmv.. and yesterday was just not his day^^
btw with gsdx2350 gamefix_skipdraw=2 is enough to get rid of the fog completely at least for me (i thought it was 4).
ok i am now almost definately sure that the non-triggering FMV cutscene is related to using savestates (F1). The same thing as i described in the earlier post happened to me again later in the game where you have to tip over some pillar building in the swamp area. I used some F1-savestates just before so i tried again, and everytime ->no fmv -> game stuck.
So i did what worked last time and it worked again! Loading last real ingame savegame from memcard and bam cutscene works.
so it wasnt my pc having a bad time after all? I was almost sure that was it!
people,dont use savestates,save trough the game and using the own game save !!!,using savestates by my own experience is known to cause bugs,and even fmv hangs !
just finished gow2
(ntsc)
great great game^^ and fully playable on pcsx2! One questions, is it impossible to emulate the shadows of kratos or would it just be a too big slowdown?
