Resistance 2 [BCES00226]

quick way to copy Icemans settings

1: download Icemans log file
2: make a custom settings file for the game
3: open the log file and the custom settings file in notepad
4: copy the same sections of the log to the custom settings file save
5: enjoy the game

Game is playable enough as of 0.0.23-14082.

Game is mostly a 30 fps experience (with a few views dropping beneath 30, but rarely). I tested on 5700 XT + R5 3600, Vulkan, Windows 11, drivers 22.7.1.

Here are my settings for best performance and visuals.

Start from Defaults
DO NOT use either patch for FOV or FPS unlock
SPU XFloat Accuracy: Approximate
SPU loop detection: Enabled
Preferred SPU Threads: 2-3 seems fine?
SPU Block Size: Safe
ZCULL: Approximate
ZCULL: Precise DOES HELP with correct LODs, but reduces performance, so stick to "Approximate".
Multithreaded RSX
Async Texture Streaming
RSX FIFO Accuracy: Atomic
While still completely CPU bound, lowering resolution does still improve performance. Stick to 1440p or lower, don't use 4K.
16xAF works well
Vsync works well

Bonus:
ZCULL: Relaxed breaks the game
SPU XFloat: Relaxed breaks the game
SPU Block Size above Safe: breaks the game or reduces performance
MSAA - disabled it does improve performance, but the jaggies are way too noticeable, even if you inject FXAA + SMAA from ReShade for example

ReShade FXAA + SMAA helps in reducing jaggies further.

Framerate patch takes this up to 60fps.

Resistance 2 [BCES00226] is unplayable for me

Macbook Pro 14"
M1 Pro CPU
16GB RAM

Major graphics artifacts, tried the last 4 or 5 RPCS3 releases with the same results. Used default settings, tried the poster above settings, did not use patches.

Attached log file and screenshots

The macOS build does not come with any guarantees in regards to compatibility, that's for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD builds for the time being

i have the low settings enabled (anti aliasing disabled etc). Any idea why cutscenes are glitchy? No other changes from defaults.

Ok

Thank you for the reply

I will update if I solve this.
