GC: Frame rate skip

[Elvendar]

I don't what's up with this, but i've been annoyed with it for a while.

Frame rate skip/slowdown seems to occur offline
1) when you beat falz
2) when you beat olga

Seems to occur online

1) during most EP2 bosses with 2 or more players

I'm guessing this is normal?

oh thats not all.... me and 3 other people were playing multiplayer and it would lag about a lot when enemies would teleport into the room..... i wonder if its my gamecube or not? any thoughts?

Online or offline? If it's online, there could be some server lag, laggy connection on your part, or your friends are lagging the game a bit. If it's offline, maybe the GC has trouble rendering all of the stuff (though it shouldn't, I thought it was powerful enough to do that...). The only slowdown that really pisses me off is the twin dragons in Ep 2. Whenever they land and you are nearby, the ground effects slow the game down dramatically.

It's only happened to me offline... it's a laggy connection if it happens online

I've noticed a slight slowdown after I beat falz and was running around collecting items. It also slows down a lot during Barba Ray with 2 or more people (online).

I have never noticed any kind of slowdown offline. Don't play online yet but if there is slowdown there then it is more than likely lag.

No, not lag slowdown, we mean visual slow down. The game runs slowly. All lag does is make characters jumpy and delay you in picking up items. Visual slowdown is when the game is actually running SLOW. If you get online and play an ep.2 boss with 3 other people, you'll know what I mean. Or if you get 3 other people and play multiplayer offline, go into the ruins, you'll see it then too.

I get that slow down in EP.2

I get a really bad frame rate in rooms with reflective water in Seabed, especially Lower Levels. The extra calculations necessary to do the reflections really slows down the game >_<

This happens to me too. I noticed it once again when I beat Falz today.

Basically, when you are playing offline in multimode, and beat a boss, the processes for the GC GPU is INSANE, not to mention the CPU processing 2 characters or more on the same console. You shouldn't worry about it at all, though. Its just the processor doing its thing.
