Howdy all :) Im relatively new to the whole speedrunning thing xD but yeah just a question about framerate issues that i get sometimes whilst playing Bio2!

First of all i notice sometimes upon picking up items anywhere in the game that the framerate drops to the point where pickups are noticeably longer, and sometimes in gameplay that dont feel fluent either.

Im using patch 1.1 Windows 10 64 bit Amd fx 6350 Six core proccessor GTX 760 So i shouldnt be having issues performance wise (other than compatibility issues ofcourse) just wanted to know if anyone else has had these problems? ive watched others speedruns while they're streaming and they dont seem to have this problem? the game just feels more unresponsive upon cornering and general movement cause of this issue.

Thanks in advance -Chaz

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤EDIT¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ I was using the direct x Fix bio2.exe Im now trying 1.1 but cant use the ECG or AutoSplitter for Claire A runs atm? :C

IGT is tied to framerate so you don't loose any time when the framerate goes slow. A few people have had this problem (1.0 and 1.1) and they got around it by playing a movie in windows media player in the background (muted of course), so you could try that out.

I highly recommend that you go back to 1.0 and try everything you can to get it to work, like testing all compability modes with and without run as admin, custom profile in your GPU control panel for the game, play movie in background etc. Most people have never had to patch the game to 1.1.

No problem for me, after switching to win10, just running bio2 & bio3 with win7 compability mode, thats solves all the problems for me, at least.

i had nothing but trouble with bio2 on win10. it was fine for like a week then all of a sudden it was slow-mo HELL and nothing i did would fix it. so i switched back to win7 and it was fine once again. i would honestly recommend just reinstalling the game and completely ditch 1.1. Autosplitters/ECG'S aren't supported on 1.1 and they never will be because that would mean making them twice since the values in game change across 1.0 and 1.1

Thanks for all the replies guys, as I say it is not too disturbing just a little distracting at times, Sometimes I feel it might be affecting my movement slightly due to things just not appearing as fast such as text etc. and registering my inputs. But yeah I will try use compatibility mode and switching back to direct x fix. Also not sure if anyone is getting this problem with the claire A Splits in resources the "club key split" is not auto splitting for me. Unsure of the problems everything is working just fine.

Thanks again for the fix, I literally had to copy and paste the name of it cause I couldn't figure what was happening with the name. I switched to using a ps3 controller (ds3 tool) from a ps4 controller (ds4 tool) and have noticed a better sort of imput / feedback from the game. Cant 100% this was the cause of my issues. But am now running the game in compatibility for windows 7 and definitely feel an improvement of sorts.

Thanks again for the replies guys.

Now all thats left is just to get gud :^)

Happy Speedrunning!
