    Hello!

    I've been trying to get DQVIII to work but to no avail. My FPS is super low (15-25) even though I'm running the game on native. I could run Kingdom Hearts without any problems at all, smoothly at 60 FPS at all times, so I don't see any reason for the extremely low FPS with DQVIII.

    My specs: Geforce 640m LE, Intel Core i7 3630QM, 8 GB RAM, Windows 8.

    Is it reasonable that the game is running this poorly considering that I could play KH without any problems at all?

    if you read in their forums, it says it has poor fps gameplay. its an emulation issue not a hardware one. might be fixed in a later build so have to wait till then sorry to say.

    I did not know that. Where can I find that information?

    Thank you very much!

    DQ VIII is a VERY hard game to emulate at a constant 60fps even on the best systems, whereas Kingdom Hearts can be played on a Dual Core with no Graphics Card @ 60 fps.

    Some things you could do to get some speed
    *Close all other programs when running pcsx2.
    *Change power plan to High Performance.
    *And Most important of all
    Config > Video > Render > Direct3D11 Hardware.
    Select Geforce 640M, not Intel HD Graphics 4000.
    Config >Emulation Settings > Speed Hacks > [Try playing with Sliders at 1 or 2]
