Infamous [BCUS98119]

Heya, I've been playing through Infamous 1 and in the second mission "Escape the City" there is a point where it asks you to aim and fire at an object to open the door. However, when I aim with L1 and then fire with R1, the bolt will always fire in a specific direction, but not where I am aiming. I can aim at an enemy and the bolt will consistently fire and "land" in the same spot. The landing point is usually a building.

I can affect it by walking around, so if I move away from the area I can regain the ability to fire where I actually aim. However, it doesn't stay and seemingly at random the ability to fire where I am looking stops working.

Around the same time, enemies will disappear and reappear, and I cannot shoot or hit them. I suspect the bolt is being affected by this, but it could also be something else entirely.

I shared my infamous save with a popular YouTuber but I haven't heard back. I'm wondering if the issue I'm having is something that's known - I don't see it in any of the reports on these threads or in the in-game compatibility page that I've been referred to, so I figured I'd mention it here!

So had a play of the game last night and recorded gameplay:



Overall runs pretty well, but the framerate does vary all over the place. Ranges from 15-35 fps most of the time. Some missing graphics on fire particles. Missions 1-2 covered in the above video. I did not encounter the targeting bug that was mentioned.

I plan on doing a complete play through, so will provide further links as I proceed through it. I would call the game "playable" but of course that's subjective to what you would label that. No crashes or major issues encountered. Funny thing with this game, is that even with the constant frame jumping all over the place (refer to my videos below), since the audio is fine most of the time, the game is very much in a playable state despite it.

Bugs / Issues:
* Broken shadows
* Flickering textures (occasionally)
* Framerate - The framerate is all over the place. Still playable however.
* Emulator freeze and lock up, sometimes when the game is reloading to a check point on you failing a mission. Requires restarting the game and losing your progress
* Stuttering Audio when lots of things going on. Combat in particular
* TV screen display's too bright and cannot be seen through windows beyond a blur
