Grandia Choppy?

[Hinamina]

Is it just me, or is it kinda choppy fps wise? Has it been the same in the psx version too?

[Mikaeru]

Same here, performance (and look!) on PSX emulator on PC is way better!

Locked to 30 FPS and i had to turn off the AA in the launcher, otherwise i had constant FPS fluctuations from 22-30. With AA turned off its stable 30 so far.
On a RTX 2080.

Yeah something is off.
It runs slower than on Switch it seems.

[Mikaeru]

It's a joke! You can turn AA on with an emulator and won't get FPS drops.

[akihiko18]

I don't notice frame drops myself.

You know something is an awful port if it runs worse than anything on Switch

At least the sound effects are mostly fixed, unlike the Switch port.

I put mi video card settings on Maximun Performance and it works great. I think it doesé use the full power by default.

Yup, my RTX 2080 basically ran in Idle mode at 500mhz and 3% load and the game was choppy.
After setting it to max performance it runs in 1900mhz, the load is still just 5% but at least its now 30 FPS stable.
The card is literally too strong for the game in standard settings.

hahahaha. I guess so.

I don't think it's possible to get more than 30fps unless it gets modded

Not possible since the engine is tied to the framerate. If you would go 60 FPS the game would play in 2x speed.

[the_randomizer1889]

The original game ran at 30 fps, and it works well, I don't see what the issue is.

For The PSXe fans among us, setting FPS higher than 30 (30fps is the framerate used on old TV's and movies, since human sight can process 30-32 true FPS) for PSX games on an emulator, (imho PSX games where meant to be played on an CRT TV) it adds up on total gamespeed as Ogami tells here indeed.

I do know because i (ab)used >30FPS settings on PSXe for grinds on Breath of Fire 3 and -4 runs. Saved me a lot of time >^.^<

That is probably also the reason the devs here just cap out at 30FPS, since the game was made for 30FPS and thus higher rates just won't add up smoothness wise.

But that is just me...

Don't care about 60 FPS personally, but the game doesn't even have stable 30 FPS. It keeps jumping somewhere between 25-28 FPS instead and feels super choppy. I have no idea how this game can't get stable FPS outside of battles. I disabled AA, disabled Vsync, set it to Maximum Performance in the GPU control panel and it still doesn't. How is that a thing?
