Xenogears intro Lahan slowdown

PiCiJi · August 7th, 2003

after the intro movie runs a fighting sequence in Lahan. The speed is very low (40 fps). After a few seconds a special fighting screen is loading with normal speed.
Is this a emulator issue?

GPU issue. A lot of video cards are very slow when handling framebuffer access, which is required for the "blur" effect in this scene. The exceptions are most Geforce cards and Radeons 9500 onwards.

If you have a fast CPU (1.2Ghz+), use Pete's plugins with these settings:

Framebuffer Textures: 0 - Emulated VRAM
Framebuffer Access: 4 - Full VRAM Primitives

Full vram is very slow. I recommend using these options instead with pete's OGL 1.73 and higher:

Framebuffer Textures: 2 - Gfx card buffer
Framebuffer Access: 3 - Gfx card reads & Moves
And turn ON Mixed Software FB access in the special Game fixes menu.

This is a better option for xenogears, and the sweet part is that you can bump up the resolution and FSAA without fear of a tremendous speed hit

I have a Geforce 2 TI.

yeah liquid, this works. The slowdown has gone.
