Hi Everyone
I've recently run into a disturbing issue with the game Killer7 (USA)
This game's emulation on PCSX2 is marvelous and fantastic and without any notable flaws, but when I reach the first boss (Angel) My character and the boss both freeze in their tracks, making it impossible for me to advance! I still can see the boss breathing and the cool music still plays but the characters are not moving! I remember when I played Castlevania: Laments of Innocence I ran into a problem like this with the boss (Doppelganger). The boss was breathing but not moving and the music still played. But in that case I played with some config and the problem was solved. Even with ICO I had the same problem and I managed to fix it somehow. But this game is killing me. It doesn't get fixed.

Please help me! This game is just awesome I can't leave it like that!!

In order to help you further with your problem, please make sure the following are all provided.

• Your hardware specs - CPU, Graphics Card, Memory, Operating System.
  
• The version of PCSX2 you are using.
  
• Any non default settings you are using.
  
• What games you are trying to play and if you are playing them from ISO or DVD.
  

Thank You.

CPU: AMD Athlon™ 7750 Dual-Core
Graphic Card: 9600 GTO Nvidia
Memory 2.5 G
OS: Win7
PCSX2 Versions that I tried: PCSX2.v1.3.1-r218 and PCSX2.v0.9.9-r4873 and pcsx2-microvu-r1270 (All of them same results)
Everything is on default mode - I even changed some things but still the same results. I noted that the game runs very smoothly until the boss. No lags no distortions!
I'm playing Killer 7 (USA) iso

Can you post the emulog?

Just to let you know:
I observed the log's behavior during the game and nothing was added when the bug happened

Quote:PCSX2.v1.3.1-r218.COMPLETE.MULTi23.WinALL.2015.05.06-m3Zz_3

Delete that crap and download an official one from our site please.

try using different clamping/rounding modes Individually and check whether it helps also try changing to SuperVu recompiler , Interpreter and observe whether any changes take place.

you can get the official build from here.

Where did you download that PCSX2? The official one is on the main page.

OK I downloaded the official one but still the same old issue!!
here is the log:
