Game Crashes During Cutscene

[benjammin.dunne]

I've just reached the area where Raziel meets Kain at the pillars. The game crashes at the end of the scene though. Since save points are so few and far between, it can be frustrating to troubleshoot the game as you won't know if the fix has worked until you travel all the way back to where you were.

I'm having the same issue, but it doesn't happen at the same spot every time. I'm at the part where Kain meets you in William's chapel. The first time, the freeze happened there. The second time, I made it past that scene and down the hallway. The third time, I made an hour of progress past that (to where Mobius' ghost meets you) anjd it froze. I had not reached a save point yet so this freezing issue is really frustrating.

dammit i have the same problem, and seems that steam dont give a ♥♥♥♥ with this...

[Alexander]

where do we can notify this issue??

Hey guys I had the same problem and I think i can help you. Have you both tried limiting the number of processors the game is allowed to use.

[Azhyote]

Same problem here. How do i limit the number of processors the game uses? And how much processors have you limited?

[Frosty]

Start the game and once you are at the main menu open your task manger. Go to the details tab and find soul reaver 2. Right click it and go to "set affinity" then click however many processors you want it to use. I always set it to one and I recommend you do it to because the game was designed with only one processor in mind. After that you should be fine but it won't save the setting so just remember to set the affinity each time you start the game. Hope that helps :)

[Azhyote]

Well.. i'm sad that even this didn't work.. i've already tried a lot of things... Anyway, thanks for your help!

[Frosty]

Hmmm thats strange. When does your game freeze?

[Azhyote]

Actually, it doesn't freeze anymore. My problem is very strange: the first time i've played this steam version, it worked just fine. In the next day, the game suddenly began to freeze in the cutscenes (like the first conversation between raziel and moebius). So i've changed the anisotropic filter to the trilinear filter and the freezing had stopped. But sadly, a bunch of bugs started do appear(i cant go to the spectral realm, the color dont changes and raziel cant walk. if i go, i cant turn back to the material realm). I've tried everything : compatibility mode, adjust the graphics filters, resolutions and bit depth, limit the number of processor... i losing my hope on this... such a disapointment.

[Frosty]

Crap that is strange. Well im going to look into this man don't worry. You should have the chance to experience this game. I'm not sure on the time for where you are but ill try to get back to you sometime tomorrow my time.

[Azhyote]

Thank you very much! If anything else don't works, i'll try to download the game on the internet. Some people say it might work.

DxWnd was helped for me. This configuration settings:

Set the DirectX Version Hook setting to DirectX8. It can be found under the DirectX tab.
Set the Frames per Second setting to limit and 1 msec. The setting can be found under the Timing tab.
Set the Tweak setting to Set single core process affinity. The setting can be found under the Compat. tab.

But the Steam controls and clock count was not work while use this program.
