BIOS: USA v02.30 - Has been a slog to get this to work near flawless...(for me at least) -- Audio latency has a huge impact on input lag / graphic issues -- Installed ASIO4ALL for more efficent audio -- SPU2 @ Linear, Effects Disabled, DirectSound + 5 Output buffers, 3ms main latency (DirectSound over-rides?), Sync Mode = None •• Vsync handled audio sync, all other settings affected performance. GSdx -- OpenGL Hardware renderer, Enabled 8 Bit Textures, Large Framebuffer, 6x Res, 16x AF, Partial CRC, Accurate Date Off, Med Blending, HW Hacks Enabled. Emulation -- All Speed Hacks, Cyclerate hacks disabled. Vsync set to Standard. Added "UserHacks_DisablePartialInvalidation=1" to the end of %PCSX_DIR%\inis\GSdx.ini - unknown result but have seen advised for this title. •Nvidia driver 436.02 allows Low Latency Mode, also reduces input lag cZr

Game runs perfectly but has graphical artifacts that grow as you play. Doesn't hinder performance, it's just a nuisance. ninesixworm

Optimization over Graphics, Playing on a Low end notebook (Hardware/Software) see Notes . Cut-Scenes and Gameplay in gerenal are capped at 50 FPs(PAL) with a sightly frame rate drop from time to time depending on the vfx showing (Too many lights/cars) on the screen cause it to drop fps. Songs are playing fine during races.

••Note•• •v1.7 138 have better options to optimize cpu usage removing unnecessary rendering granting fps bonus; Hardware seems better than software , but since too many visuals are disabled, it looks pixelated. if you need to change any configuration during a race, pause the game, otherwise it might crash; Also, MTVU makes ALOT of difference, without it the game lags badly. Works fine even if you don't have 3+cores - tested version •v1.7 138 - out/2020

Trivia


Known Issues

Graphic bugs in Hardware renderers

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: While using any of the Hardware renderers, there will be a line visible that changes (gets larger) depending on the driving speed. This happens in both Direct3D and OpenGL Hardware renderers.
  • Workaround: Graphical glitches with headlights, longer line and some HUD elements ghosting can be fixed with enabling HW hacks and setting Half-screen Fix to Force-Enabled.
