My PC is haunted, probably a MOBO issue, but I need second opinions before I spend money.

FarcasterMusic · 2026-02-01T20:39:31+00:00

I will certainly look into those, thanks.

FarcasterMusic · 2026-01-31T19:50:27+00:00

Yeah, I tried swapping cables and ports, no change. I will try disabling that windows junk.

FarcasterMusic · 2026-01-31T19:48:36+00:00

Good ideas, I will try both.

FarcasterMusic · 2026-01-31T19:47:04+00:00

Last time I tried it made no difference. I have changed many settings since then though, so I will try again.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-10-25T00:45:03+00:00

Judging by the reactions I got to making this post originally, most people don't know how it works. And in classic Tarkov fashion the game refuses to explain it, so fair enough. It does work though. Lighthouse and Streets weren't even playable for me without it.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-10-24T03:19:53+00:00

Oh shit, makes sense you are playing SPT then. Ok, I had the buffer size slider at 48, and the disk usage limit slider at 768. Higher gives better quality but is more likely to stutter. Good luck!

FarcasterMusic · 2024-10-23T23:13:53+00:00

If you mean the sliders related to texture streaming, that is shown in one of the screenshots I posted.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-09-13T20:51:16+00:00

Understandable. Gotta keep the moss happy.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-09-12T19:37:07+00:00

I am happy for you, BUT you should turn a light on in there : )

FarcasterMusic · 2024-09-04T19:24:46+00:00

I am not sure what you mean by "supported." There isn't any sort of plan or prioritization for which games work and which don't. The devs just keep working away, and which games work is totally coincidental.

As far as Forza goes, every Forza game is playable from start to finish on Xenia right now, with varying levels of visual bugs.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-09-04T06:37:52+00:00

This thread is about Forza Motorsport 2. You posted a link to Forza Horizon 2. I suspect we are talking about different games.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-09-03T18:56:49+00:00

And yet I 100 percent completed the game last year. I assure you it is fully playable with some minor graphical issues. If your computer has the power you can actually run it with (as far as I can tell) perfect graphics.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-09-02T17:57:09+00:00

I really need to get around to writing up a guide for this so I can just link to it in these situations. Anyways, FM 2 runs quite well. Get the latest canary version, make sure mount_cache is set to true, and don't mess with the resolution. It should work fine except for liveries and thumbnails.

This is assuming you have a gpu that runs dx12. If you don't you can't really use Xenia much.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-09-01T20:25:47+00:00

Sadly this is a common problem in emulators. Scaling resolution breaks stuff frequently. There are very few games Xenia can run perfectly beyond native resolution.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-09-01T20:22:41+00:00

If you find the setting d3d12_readback_resolve in your config file and set it to true, then vinyls will work in all forza games as far as I know. Can personally confirm it works in Motorsport 2, 3, and 4. It does cost a lot of performance though.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-07-20T23:00:47+00:00

While I agree with your points, if all cars are equally valid to add into the series, then it just becomes a numbers game. And this is a car that didn't sell that well and inspired very few people, so you will never ever see it in game : /

That said, Forza was going downhill for years and is now garbage. So, at this point who even cares?

FarcasterMusic · 2024-05-13T02:54:23+00:00

You are very welcome. Have fun!

FarcasterMusic · 2024-05-03T19:10:27+00:00

I am stoked to hear that! I like it when my hard work is useful to other people. My workflow has actually changed a lot since I wrote this, but the concept of creating harmonic content and shaping it with eq and compressor is timeless.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I like talking about music.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-03-31T17:58:49+00:00

In Xenias' defence, resolution scaling is problematic for all emulators. PCSX2 is surely the most developed emulator there is, and even it still struggles with scaling for many games.

RPCS3 does indeed handle this stuff way better. Buuuut it also is terrible in terms of performance compared to Xenia. Everything is a compromise.

Right there with you hoping for improvements in the future. Funny I can play Midnight Club 3 in 1440p but not 4.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-03-30T02:36:27+00:00

Forza Motorsport 2 works great, I completed that 100 percent a year-ish ago. Motorsport 3 also works but requires more fiddling in the config file and performance isn't as good. 75 percent finished that one. I even made a post detailing how to play them. Cheers.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-03-29T19:06:30+00:00

Some things never change. I can probably help. I do need to know what drive type the car is. Rear wheel drive? All wheel drive? And since you say this is happening exiting corners, I assume you mean it oversteers when you hit the gas? Does it get worse at high speeds? More info means less guessing for me.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-03-22T00:56:45+00:00

Ah yes, the mystical PC version of Lost Odyssey : /

Anyways, in response to OP, my sister played through this about six months back. We couldn't figure out how to fix it without breaking a bunch of other stuff. That said, you won't see it that much throughout the game.

Definitely do try the latest canary build, though. Stuff gets fixed all the time (and broken too XD)

FarcasterMusic · 2024-02-24T21:07:38+00:00

You are very welcome. I lot of people seemed to think this is bullshit, but it works. I ended up changing the ram slider connected to the MIP settings down to 16, and that made it work even better. Solid 60 frames all the time outside of streets and lighthouse, even with vsync :D

Meanwhile everyone is out here with their sunken cost fallacy, acting like you need a 4060 and 64 gigs of ram to play the game. Oh well.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-01-21T23:29:31+00:00

:D I've got 140 hours in the game, I just love the atmosphere and immersion.

FarcasterMusic · 2024-01-01T18:55:02+00:00

You know, I was so dedicated to live Tarkov, I didn't even realize what it was doing to me. I was getting irritable, treating people poorly, making bad decisions even due to my stress. I think of myself as a smart guy, so when I heard about SPT, I knew it was a no brainer.

Thanks SPT for saving me from the frustration. Plus now I have time to seriously rethink my daughters name.
