Well I typed it up on IRC .. but not sure if you are just idling

First tip .. best not to use auto detect for the fps ... just set it to 60 FPS. Also using frameskipping will do you wonders. Next the resolution you are using might be too much for either the card or the game .. bring it down to 800x600 and give it a go and see if you still experience the slowdowns. Also make sure you are not setting your settings too high ... best to start with low settings and work your way up with experimenting with it.

i know that could fix the slowdowns but what about the game freezing? or the big period of slowdown? i know it isn't gonna fix it...

 

[Abyss]

hummmmmmm ok i guess no one can answer me... so does it mean it's a bug? even tho i never heard of it..

 

[Abyss]

still waiting for a reply....

Hey, did you ever find out how to get the sound effects (Dragon transform scream etc.) working?

The only thing I have found out is that all the sounds that are cut short after half a sec. is XA sound (according to PSMPlay). This includes the sounds played during dragon breath attacks, summoning, and getting the dragon summons.

Cant get it to work for the life of me...

Oh, and I have the PAL version. And the same problem with sluggish performance in towns etc.
