help please! can i run xenoblade with these pc specs! - femfem - 05-06-2013
I really want to play this game (xenoblade chronicles) but at the start of the game (1st battle) i can only get 12 fps and its so lag T_T
Here is my pc specs :
Intel Dual Core e5700 3.0ghz
4gb ram
Nvidia Geforce GT 430
Can i play decently with these spec?
PS: and please if its not much can anyone please teach/tell me the right settings for dolphin so that i can play xenoblade decently? and also should i use the x64 bit dolphin? im currently using the 32 bit... but it lags like hell with 32 bit windows 7 OS! if 64 bit will give 30fps.. then i should use 64 bit os!
Thank u very much!

CPU is too weak for Xenoblade . Overclock it to 3.6GHz or higher !
Check out this thread (Post #126) for the best settings , Dolphin version for your CPU
64bit version will give a very small speed up .
Btw , since you have a low-end GPU GT 430 , you will have to use 2x or 2.5x Internal Resolution , no AA , 16x AF

thanks a lot for your reply! i see so my specs are low end -.- this is damn sad! btw when u mean 3.6 ghz is it like this 3.06ghz? or 3.60ghz? i am a bit scared to overclock my cpu it might reduce its life span xD and sir admin btw why is that all of a sudden while i am playing xenoblade , dolphin emulator 3.5 160 (version im using) the fps suddenly drops to 0 after 1 min? -.- it will make my game stopped working!
RE: help please! can i run xenoblade with these pc specs! - admin89 - 05-06-2013
I'm telling you to use the 3.5 - 145 not the 3.5 - 160 because any version after 145 will cause huge slowdown for Xenoblade
Quote:when u mean 3.6 ghz is it like this 3.06ghz? or 3.60ghz?I said 3.6GHz and higher which mean you have to push your CPU all the way to 4GHz and even more
If you don't want to overclock , then just buy new mobo and new CPU (tell me you budget first)
Quote:it might reduce its life span xDFrom 20 years down to 10 years if you don't use insane voltage . Don't worry , your mobo and ram will die first (about 5-7 years lifetime if you do it properly and your mobo , PSU are good enough)
If you used cheap mobo and PSU , your mobo would die less than 2 years

thanks again for your reply! im gonna find a way then to overclock my cpu
i am just a student >_< dont have enough budget to buy another pc hehe unless i can convince my parents to buy a new one xD! ok ty for the info i will only use 3.5 145 then! btw i can run xenoblade smoothly now 24-30 fps but the major problem i am facing is when ever i load my save state of xenoblades, it runs great on a decent fps (25-30) but then suddenly a few seconds after, fps will suddenly dropped to 0 ! then the emulator will just hang ! anything i can do to fix this problem? ty in advance!

Freezes in Xenoblade are fixed now. But you'll have to use latest builds
.The problem might also come from your savestate. Savestates may cause issues sometimes. It's recommended to use in-game saves instead

i see save state problem then! thanks for replying
RE: help please! can i run xenoblade with these pc specs! - femfem - 05-07-2013
tried beginning another new game without saving via save state but saving via in-game save! after the 1st battle where @ a point that i can already control shulk after a few seconds while wandering round the field (world map) my fps still dropped to 0 and dolphin just hangs there T_T anything i can do to fix this issue? i tried using latest dolphin emu but still the same! im using 3.5 145 now! ty in advance!

Did you use the same settings as I linked on post#2 ?
RE: help please! can i run xenoblade with these pc specs! - femfem - 05-07-2013
yes i did i think i know the reason why my fps is dropping to zero! my cpu usage after running xenoblade, after a few seconds it becomes 100% T_T
