Hey, sorry if this isn’t the right place but I couldn’t really find anywhere else that seemed to suit it.
So I’ve had SSF4AE PC for awhile now with no problems of any sort. About a day ago the game starts freezing randomly. Sometimes often, sometimes not. Also sometimes it is only a heavy framerate drop, as in it goes down to about 1-5 frames briefly before returning to normally instead of fully freezing. By freezing I mean the game hangs for about 5 seconds then resumes as normal. As you can tell it is kind of annoying. I have made no hardware changes, my computer has not been acting any differently and this does not happen in any other game / while on the desktop. It is specific to this game. I haven’t changed any of the hardware settings or anything like that.
If it helps here is my Graphics Settings:
And this is my benchmark test:
I really dunno what to do, I want to avoid reinstalling because I do have a bandwith cap per month at 60 gig and so it’s not an easy task to reinstall it lol.
So been trying playing in windowed mode… made it a lot worse to be honest. Changed the resolution to a smaller one as well, which I’m not sure if it puts more strain on the computer. It instantly loads when I change it to 1920 x 1080 but when I put it to the next one down it takes about 10~15 seconds to load. Also tried to change the framerate settings from Fixed to Variable… also made it worse. Le sigh
Turning of V Sync made it a lot worse, weird slow downs and times where it was going faster. This was on Variable and at a smaller resolution so I’ll try it on its biggest. It’s just weird because its only just started happening… wondering if something is wrong with my hardware but then I feel everything would be screwing up. Arghhh
I’ve been having the same problem. Frame rate drops low for a good 5 seconds or so while playing or even while in menus/selecting a character? Bringing back an old post but just wondering if you ever got it fixed?
The only way I “fixed” it was keeping the game in full screen and closing all background applications. Which sucks because I don’t have to do that for any other game, it’s purely just Street Fighter AE. Try doing that and see if it helps.
I feel the game is pretty poorly optimized, so if you can’t fix it you may have to look for other work arounds such as lower res textures on some of the stages etc. It’s lame but as long as you can play I think it’s worth it.
Hey I hear going into your CAPCOM folder (in Documents on Windows 7), then going into your SSF4AE folder and opening the config and turning the command “RenderingThread” from on to off can sometimes help.
