A sudden drop in fps for no particular reason

albatrossRX-10 · Apr 7, 2008

Currently using 0.9.5 (YES I know its 'unsupported'), but anyway, the same problem happens in 0.9.4 as well as 0.9.2...

The thing is im getting slow speeds compared to normal, about 50% or more slower than before. I have not done anything to the computer prior to this, other than trying out a few settings and stuff around ZeroGS and GSDX. Then this happened.

I got e6300 @ 3.2ghz, ati x1800xt.

- I tried uninstalling/re-installing pcsx2, no joy.
- Unistalled/re-installed video card drivers, again no joy.
- Re-installed DX9, no joy.
- Tried other betas, and previous official PCSX2 version as well, no joy.
- Am using all of the same settings in the plugins as when everything was normal before.
- No matter what other combination of (ticking/unticking boxes) settings I try to do now, its always slow.
- Using all latest plugins bla bla...

I had this problem before when I had 0.9.2, and nothing fixed it until I got that 0.9.2 VM fix .exe release.

Any ideas??

How about telling us what game? Perhaps the plugin versions, too, that might help. Go use the Bug Reporter program and post that info ere, it'll help.

Game? Were the frame drops happening when the angle was changed ingame?

Problem happens to any game, and happens at all times throughout the game. Constant.

I'm using latest plugins versions, as said in first port - zerogs kosmos 0.97.0 or gsdx 0.1.7. The same problem happens.

I don't know what the bug reporter is.

WinXP

Strangely enough, I've had this issue too. What I did was...turn on V-Sync in the plugin, play with it, then quit the game, turn it off again, and normal speeds resume. I don't know if it'll fix your problem, but when THIS happened to me, it's what I did. Not sure why it'd fix it anyways.

Mkilbride2588 , that worked thanks!

Why the hell this happens I do not know.

Mkilbride2588 · Apr 8, 2008

It did work? Wow...weird man. I have no idea why it works either...

albatrossRX-10 · Apr 8, 2008

Yeah. ZeroGS didnt have the vsync option, but GSDX did. So it turned it off and then on again like u mentioned, then all problems solved! ZeroGS or GSDX now both works fine.

I have been trying many times now to make a new thread in the EvdP Forum.
But this message that the OP talk about keeps coming up for me:
