BIOS: USA 2.30, Works great on PCSX2. When playing this game on the original Playstation 2, this game would suffer from some nasty slowdowns. This happened in towns mostly for no apparent reason, but this does not seem to occur when playing the game on PCSX2. The original Dreamcast version didn't suffer from these slowdowns either, so it's likely something that went wrong during the port to PS2 that caused the game to be too demanding for the regular Playstation 2 console. | Ryudo |
Trivia
- Original names: グランディア II (SLPM-65081)
Known Issues
Gray floor in battles
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: This happens from time to time, gray texture blocks may appear on the floor in battles when the camera moves around. The cause of this is unknown.
- Workaround: Nothing works to fix this. ZeroGS does not solve the issue. Software Mode of GSdx will not solve the issue too. However, this is a minor issue and does not detract from actual gameplay.
