FFX bug in Thunder Plains?

Kippie · July 3rd, 2008

Resolved: Hi, I've been playing FFX without any problems so far. But when I arrived in the Thunder Plains, the game seems to stop doing much at all once I get a random encounter.
It's not like it's a total lock-up or a crash, but it just shows the monsters spawning, and then doesn't load up the battle GUI or anything. The music keeps playing, and everything keeps being animated, but that's about it. No input from me is being recognised, and nothing else happens.

Has anyone else ever heard of this bug? And is there maybe a possible sollution?

In case it matters, I'm running PCSX2 0.95 (rev 377) with GSdx 0.1.7, ZeroSPU 0.4.4 and Linusapps' dvd/iso plugin.

Hope anyone can help me.

Edit: More problems, read below

It's there even in 0.9.2 and is totally random. There is nothing u can do except loading a sstate or save from memcard and pass this place again. Some say it's GSDX SSSE3 prob, but back in 92 version I was using ZeroGS 96 and FFX randomly hanged like that too in Thunder Plains.

That doesnt sound like a GS plugin issue at all.
I'd rather say the EE has gone on coffee break

The bossbattles arnt that bad. Its just that one of ur team is heading the wrong way, so he/she has to run a bit more to hit the target.
And I've never heard/seen/experienced anything at Thunder plains, using pcsx 0.9.5.

Thanks for the replies, guys. In the end I managed to get past, and didn't have any more trouble.

I do have a new problem, however...
I'm now at the Spectral Keeper in Zanarkand. Seems to me that it is a tough battle and all. However, when after a while he casts his first Glyph Bombs, the music starts hanging. I can move around my characters, but when I try to use any real action (attack or use an ability) the game starts hanging completely...
Any ideas on this one? :P

I had exactly the same problem, and it was always the same type of mobs which made it freeze, a thunder elemental thingy, a bat thingy and a lizard thingy. I tried several things but in the end I tried 9.4 instead and it worked, of course everything else was less smooth and such but at least it wouldn't freeze anymore and then I just swapped back now after finishing Thunder plains.
