The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II [BLUS31597]

Getting the same thing.

First area is great 25-30 FPS and playable. Visual glitches happen periodically black textures, or incorrect textures on top of other ones, but those aren't that big of a deal.

Play until Ymir and the FPS drops to 15-17 FPS. The rendered cut-scenes drop to as low as 2 FPS.

Played until reaching Lunaria Nature Park to see if it was just Ymir, but the game is basically unplayable.

I've tried both BLUS31597 and NPUB31836 and the results are basically the same.

I finished this game yesterday and i didn't have any problem with the frame rates nor encountering graphical glitches during the entire game. Only problem i had was with the subs, there weren't shown in 5% of the game. Maybe if i'd change the settings to interpreter it would go away. Frame rates between 35 - 45 fps during the whole game and nowhere less. LLVM + ASMJIT and vulcan. Cpu i5-3470 only a bit oc'd from 3.2 to 3.8 ghz. Have a nice day.

Can you post all of your settings? To me, Vulkan alone drops fps by a lot and the game results in a black screen unless write color buffers is checked, which reduces the fps even more. Also, whats your serial? NPUB31836?
