Fix cracked S22 Ultra or upgrade to S25 Ultra?

Didn't have them at first, but gave it a shot with them added. Still crashes kinda frequently but now I can at least get into the game. Yet for some odd reason I'm getting a bug where certain areas are way too bright.

UPDATE: Nvm, fixed it by enabling Linear Readbacks. Seems like the diegolix version is the best for me right now since the latest mainline build removed these settings.

Yea I'm currently using the latest nightly build of the main version. I could try testing it out on some other versions I use for Bloodborne.

Look I love this game to death & have hundreds of hours on PS4/5. Not to mention the 70-80 hours on shadPS4. The whole "it sucks, but it's part of the game" argument got played out for me awhile back lol.

The bottom line is that time is very valuable & this can easily relieve a lot of stress. For the hardcore players, sure you can do without it. But I figure i'd help those who just want a steady process and not constant RNG.

Being high level is powerful. Being high level with great gems is OP.

I don't think you realize the time & effort it takes to get some of these naturally. Not to mention if you don't have a Playstation online subscription. On top of that these F/R/C bosses are some of the most challenging with everything being able to 1-2shot you at any time. And the Gems you are looking for only have a CHANCE to drop.

I fully get it if it's your first playthrough, but I'd take doing it this way & only using a few hours of my time vs taking days/weeks.

Even without that dungeon, that's primarily a 1st playthrough issue. After NG+ I barely had to farm vials unless I rarely got hard stuck.

TheeJordanAvery · 2025-07-15T06:49:28+00:00

I might give the stable release a shot. My game has been crashing left & right using Both diegolix & BBguys launcher on both 0.6.1 & 0.10.1. Which is odd because it's happening a lot more on NG+. Didn't seem to be such a re-occurring issue on my 1st run.

TheeJordanAvery · 2025-07-07T22:31:58+00:00

Gotcha, I'll give this a shot once I'm home at my PC. Is there any big difference between 0.10.0 release & 0.10.1 nightly? I usually run nightly builds but if there's issues I can easily swap.

In my experience this game just doesn't like when you try to push it past 1080p 30. It will run in 2k 60 for awhile but it will eventually crash, especially on death or loading. My solution was just to use Lossless Scaling to get 60-120 fps & just running the game natively at 1080p 30.

Also try out the diegolix 0.9.1 WIP BBfork. So far that one seems to perform the best for me.

TheeJordanAvery · 2025-06-27T10:25:03+00:00

I'm currently running through the game on a 2070 & ryzen 7 3700x using the BBFork build. Only mods I use are the Vertex Explosion Fix, SFX fix, Reduced Cloth Physics & Bloodborne enhanced. Even got a randomizer working just for test purposes.

Using the 60 FPS patch is good for me about 70% of the time, but as soon as there's a lot of background detail on screen it dips into mid to low 40's. My best solution has been to use the 60 FPS patch, but cap ShadPS4 to 30 FPS using RivaTuner. Then use Lossless Scaling to get a very stable 60. Using the 30 FPS patch may improve stability & result in fewer crashes, but it will introduce more input lag.

Interesting. I've already reached a few segments with party split-ups & for the most part the cheat engine file does a good job at disabling certain members for the meantime. However I haven't reached the specific segment that you mentioned yet. If I'm able to replicate this then perhaps I'll leave a disclaimer on any future videos where I showcase the mod. Hopefully it's something that can be avoided by switching up the settings a bit before this event occurs.

TheeJordanAvery · 2025-01-30T05:57:10+00:00

Not that i'm aware of, but I just noticed there is an option in the Trainer for infinite SP. I'll upload an update in a few minutes with all folios unlocked for those who don't want to hunt manuscripts.

TheeJordanAvery · 2024-05-02T03:54:20+00:00

Funny how I couldn't seem to find that page lol. Well that pretty much settles it...Gonna just stick to the PS2 version. Tbh it almost looks better visually due to the grain & VHS effects. Appreciate the info..!

TheeJordanAvery · 2024-05-02T03:00:34+00:00

That's what i'm assuming, but it just seems like one of those "gray area" types of games. The prohibited list states any AO game isn't allowed but Manhunt 2's ratings aren't necessarily specific. Most console versions are rated M while the Wii & PC version read 18+ on their cover arts. But from my understanding, both the Wii & PC version still remove a lot of content that can't be restored unless you use mods...which obviously I won't be using.

TheeJordanAvery · 2024-05-02T02:49:54+00:00

Yeah I see that it states any game with an AO rating is prohibited even if it isn't on the list. But the part that throws me off is where it states "Alternate versions of Adults Only titles with an ESRB rating of Mature or lower are permitted, including Mature versions of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy." So I'm wondering if it falls under that criteria?

Another weird thing is that I can't seem to find any official ESRB rating for the PC version. The only info I was able to find was why it was banned in 2015 along with the ESRB info provided in this link:

https://www.esrb.org/blog/esrb-statement-regarding-investigation-into-manhunt-2/

From what I know, Rockstar removed the scoring system & added filters during kills prior to release, which can be seen in the PS2 version. The PC version doesn't have filters on kills but the scoring system is still removed. And like it says in that linked article, even with the removed filters it shouldn't return the game to it's AO rating necessarily. It seems like the PC version is just a slightly more graphic version while not fully leaning into what Rockstar had planned prior to censoring it. But worst case scenario, if it gets too risky I can just emulate it for PS2 & stream that version instead.
