you have a good sense of spamboting serio I guess you have better chance of finding copied posts or something on your boots bonuses

Yeah some bots are a pain to detect, they come back edit the old post to add in the spam msg usually after you already read the original post :p

lol. i run 3 small forums (but not small enough to avoid bots), so i have a lot of experience dealing with them.

i googled his post and found an exact match in this same thread, it sounded too legit to come out of someone with spam links in his signature.

im having some problems with tactics ogre ... in the middle of battles it simple stop to run... and a few moments later appears a msg intterupted @.@

Hi guys, so sorry to bother you all. Great work so far on this thread!

I've read through it all and I don't know if I can find the problem I have replicated anywhere else. Like, the text is fine and speed appears to be ok.

But I'm getting a crash or freeze really early. After I've chosen my name, birthday etc and the tarot cards, the three characters at the beginning leave their house to ambush Lanselot or something?

The dialogue just stops running usually when Denam says "Ssh, they're here". It's weird because I can see the water still shimmering so it's not like the game has just frozen. But it refuses to go any further than this in this cutscene. I've tried pausing and skipping the scene, but the screen goes blank and it loads no further.

I'm not sure how much of the log to post as it seems to just run and run and run at mega speed and a lot of it is repeating but I've got a chunk of it:


And these two lines were repeating often in yellow text earlier on (not necessarily adjacent though):


Obviously I don't really understand but it looked to be some kind of audio problem - maybe at this point the game needed to play a sound its unable to do so? So I uninstalled and reinstalled Sonicstage but to no avail.

I'm running 64bit rev: 2540. Using basically the same options as everyone else from what I've read from the thread... and there were some tips somewhere about diabling UBO and enabling VAO fixing some crashes or something. I tried it before without those settings enabled and I still had the same crashes so I don't think it's relevant here anyway.
Vertex Cache
Shaders
Disable UBO
Enable VAO
Enable saving GE to textures
Enable dynamic shader generation (recommend for ATI, which I have)

Audio wise, I have Media Engine and Sonicstage decoding enabled in the options. Nothing is disabled in the audio section... I'm lost!

Any help would be so appreciated! Thanks guys!

Well, I'll keep the above post there for reference but I "fixed" it by using the 32bit emulator. It got past that point multiple times no problem. Though other people are using the 64bit no problem, so I don't know what the problem is here!

However, I am now being plagued by the AI Freeze... I dunno how some people get away with it, but I'm having multiple freezes per battle! My maximum compiler size is 50, as I read that lowering it might help but unfortunately not! It was only on 100 to begin with anyway...

Why is using snapshot not recommended? I've gotten around the problem a few times (albeit slowly) by saving a snapshot every couple of turns, so that when it freezes I can load snapshot -> quicksave -> restart emulator -> load quicksave. Without snapshot... I'd have to quit the whole game every few turns, which would be VERY annoying!

Honestly though - someone posted that not changing your facing after an action seems to help and I can definitely confirm this! I was loading from quicksave and freezing over and over in the exact same spot. But if I didn't change my facing, I got past this freeze! Weird! I don't know if it eliminates the problem completely as I've stopped playing, but I'll let you know anyway...

i have this problem too

what i do to go through in the game is after 3 or 4 movements i save and load the game so prevent the freeze... sometimes the game back run if u wait... but i always doing the save load thing

For what it's worth, 5 battles later I haven't had a single freeze. Though sometimes the background randomly disappears. I don't know why.

I would definitely recommend not changing the characters' facing after they've taken an action. Oddly, it seems to really work.

ah the problem is u stay there in a big battle and freeze ... so u lost all u do... so i think i go wait a little yet to play

no need to wait, there are still random freezes when jpcsp will have to be restarted, but it hasnt b othered me enough to get up to chapter 3 and do 2 or 3 major crafting sessions... so i dont think you should worry too much, just maybe save once or twice in each battle just in case so you dont lose much.
