you think its too low?

The PS3 version the BGM was way too loud, couldnt hear any background noise barely.
The PC version is thankfully much better balanced but BGM still a bit too loud, so am very surprised to see a request to ask for it to be increased. O_o

Might be possible the cause.

Since I did the following no crashes, but still too early to say its fixed.

Colour correection to standard (notice no visual difference).
Glare to standard
Scaling to none (to keep full screen I used cheat engine to set my native res for rendering).

Rest still on advanced.

you using the in game scaling?

Well, it's possible that forcing the game to run in an unsupported resolution may be the cause.

GeDoSaTo on initial FFXIII did the same thing and it crashed all the time. Literally all the time.

I did this at the time I made the post, prior I was running at 1080p and using the advanced scaling option.

So far no crashes since running at 1440p although I have moved on to another area now.

Thanks for keeping the thread, as you said it could be one of many things but obviously I was hoping someone else had a fix for the same issue.

But here is what I have done.

I used cheat engine to change the resolution to 1440p and disabled scaling. I also dropped glare effects down to standard and colour correction.

I have noticed the cpu usage has plummeted after the resolution change so the scaling may have been causing bottlenecks and I am hoping this will fix things, will report back later. Since I am farming in the ruins for firestorm and icespark I will probably know quickly if its an improvement.

Always in the field, 90% have been in the ruins.

I get a window popping up saying lightning returns has stopped responding.

Found nothing on neogaf, so I am going to try setting some stuff to standard instead of advanced to see if it makes it stable.

Krisan I hope you ok with me posting this here, it seems Square Enix are actually moderating their forum and the 2 threads I made there got deleted. Hence me posting here where SE cannot touch my post.

I have been having crashes in the game, I am curious if anyone else has had them and if a workaround is known.

I have observed they are defenitly most frequent inside the desert ruins. They also have always occured in the field, never in the menu or battle.

Yeah this is a very bad design decision, since the game has a time limit, you cant really just stand there waiting for hope to finish.

I noticed in Zesteria conversations carry on during battle.

It would be a nice mod but I also guess very hard to do.

I think workshop drops in files to mod supported games.

Officially ff13 does not support modding, krisan defenitly cannot upload pre patched files due to copyright.

yeah I hope you doing a coloured buttons retexture.

Dont know why SE remove the colours when most steam gamers will be using an xbox controller.
