Got myself Tales of Abyss, and man, it just doesn't want to cooperate. It hangs and hangs and hangs. Anyone playing it? Any recommended settings? Thanks in advance

I'm playing it now, and I mostly get 60fps and the lowest fps I get is 45fps (mostly in some towns and battles).
It works fine in Directx 10 hardware mode (pcsx2-beta-1059 + GSdx r1161) with a d3d internal res of 1920x1080 and texture filtering and I've gotten no crashes at all.
For speedhacks I use x2 cycle rate and INTC Sync hack.

I hope this helps

Same here.
When I use hacks it's crashing quicker than without hacks but it still crash even with all settings on default.

Hm perhaps that problem is related to driver vga issue or you can try with old gsdx and directx9 mode.

Back then when I played it, it used to crash with the x2 CycleRates hack. So I never used it and voila never a crash again. max 1.5. I haven't tried with the CycleStealer hack tho, but it could be the reason for a crash, too.

Yea, seems to work with only x1.5 CycleRate enabled, although I'm not far into the game.

So far:
Doesn't always load, sometimes just remains blackscreen, but this is caused by the speedhacks it seems
*Hanged three times right after the combat tutorial
*Crashed once after some cutscene
*Crashed twice right after the battle when two monsters appear at once for the first time

I played ~15 h without crash. Just stop using above 1.5 CycleRate hacks.

I don't use them, but I use others Well, in the end it all comes down to experiments

I've played the game for about 30 hours now (almost finished it) with x2 cycle rate and I've never had crashes.

It may depend on what version you use I know it works/worked fine, just wanted to check if there are specific settings required/maybe some build broke it somehow.
