The effect of this is that the game runs at 75% of the speed. I have EFB to RAM enabled etc., so my configuration should be optimal.
I'm running an Intel i5 M430 @ 2,26 GHz, 4 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 512 mb.
Any idea what is causing this weird behaviour?
Try manually raising the FPS limit in config over 30. It seems to stay around 20 for me as well when i have it on auto. I can get over 30 or so when i set the FPS limit to around 60 or 70 though. I think the limiting is partially messed up.
EDIT- actually, setting the option use FPS for limiting seems to work. Check that and then set the FPS limit to 30. Or it might be 25 for PAL games, i forget. But that should fix it somewhat. It did for me at least. I can never get it to go over 21-25 when i don't check that and just set it to auto. Again, seems to be some kind of limiting issue. It can be bypassed though, at least for me. So i doubt it's just that my computer (or maybe even yours) is too slow to play it. With the FPS limit set to off, i can get much more than full speed.
