Full Version: PCSX2 1.4.0 lag problems
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Up until recently the emulator was working completely fine, but now upon startup the client stops responding for a few seconds, and when it responds again it's significantly slower than it should be. I've done no updates, made no changes, and the older version I have installed, 1.2.1, works fine. My specs aren't the problem, if they were I'd have been having problems a long time ago.
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.

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

I......just said my specs aren't the problem...
All my settings are default, I already said the version I'm using, and it's literally any game I try to play. Gallop Racer 2004 is the game I usually play though
So how about this...you are saying that the specs are not the problem but lets say you are on a laptop(you are not saying even that)and somehow you are using some power saving power profile or somehow you are using your weaker GPU(igpu)instead of your powerful one

So you still think it's not nessesary to post the requested information...after all YOU are asking for help

I am using pcsx2 since 0.9.2 and I definetly know what am doing but when I encounter a problem,I post as much information I can related to the problem even if some of it is not needed.

And yes,I did encounter unexplainable performance loss before but it was long ago and I don't remember what was the reason for it and how I fix the problem

The specs aren't the problem. Everything worked completely fine until a few days ago. I've made no changes, downloading no new programs, changed nothing, done nothing new to what I always have done on my PC.

Anyway, I figured since yes, I am asking for help, I may as well share them. Best I could do was look at GeForce and see what it said[Image: Untitled.png]
What about the emulog ?
Keep in mind your CPU is a bit weak for pcsx2, though (STR = 1443)
As far as I can tell, nothing changed on the log either

And I know my PC is a bit weak, but it's been working completely fine with almost no lag, when I turn off the limited frames sometimes it can go as high as 110 FPS
