I am trying to play Soul Reaver NTSC-US. In a nutshell, it looks great, sounds great but drops into roughly 60% slo-mo speed any time I come up on anything using any "lighting" effects(?) The little portal things you change realms on, camp fires, blood effects when you kill something, any open space, etc. When it slows, of course, my controls lag too and I can't control Raziel.
I've tried every GPU and SPU plugin I could find. All the usuals + several older versions. Tried all the stuff in the sticky threads, AMD Dual Core "Optimizer", Windows XP and Vista, ePSXe 1.70 and 1.60, several toggles in the Nvidia driver control panel.
Hopefully there is something simple I have just missed? I swear I played this game a bit on my old Athlon 2700 with ePSXe 1.5x or something and it was fine. Something the newer computers/video card/drivers have that I can shut off or something?
Edit: If I disable the frame rate lock (F4) it runs at like 4x speed in the same spots as the slow down...so it's not a matter of under powered hardware. Why would the frame limiter reduce it to slo-mo when the hardware is capable of 300% + speed? Also I noticed I can not use the GPU's frame limit now as an alternative...the built in one just keeps turning itself back on every restart, and disabling it with F4, also disables the GPU's.
Thanks
Windows Vista 64 and/or XP Pro 32 (usually XP, I hate Vista/7)
AMD X2 7850 (runs at stock 2.81GHz)
4 Gigs Ram (dual channel stock timing 4,4,4,12)
Nvidia GTS 250 1 gig ram
