Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep

Hey guys,

I have a major issue with this game. Its a graphics bug / glitch that is consistent / replicable and persists even after closing PPSSPP. It occurs in all PPSSPP versions 1.0.1 and older (1.0 is the last one without it). It also occurs independant of the KHBBS version (US / EUR / JAP Final Mix) or PPSSPP's settings.

The bug happens when I enter the "World Map" area (no difference whether I load into it or load into a world and travel into it). The whole screen is messed up into a glitchy pattern and this glitch persists even outside of PPSSPP / after PPSSPP is killed. I couldn't screenshot the game itself because it crashes my system when I try, but I was able to make one of my desktop after killing PPSSPP.

(Normal unglitched desktop for comparison.)

As I said, this bug is consistent and replicable - it occurs every time when I do the described things and it's always the same glitch. Probably a software bug, or at least I hope so. It hasn't occured anywhere else so far (and I've run several other GPU-intensive games and applications after this, and everything seems fine).

I'm currently running PPSSPP v1.0 to play the translated Final Mix without the glitch, but the 60fps cheat only partly works with that version - when I enter the pause menu, it starts lagging and slows down to ~35-40fps, but switches back to 60fps when I either leave the menu or open one of the menu tabs (commands, items, abilities, ...). I also have huge fps crashes and lagspikes when I enter the Mirage Arena. Both of these lag problems are only occuring when the 60fps cheat is active, otherwise everything runs smoothly with 30fps. Is that a known bug? If not, hooray I found another one. This one occurs no matter how high or low I put the emulation settings. Also I have a rather high-end gaming rig so it probably isn't a hardware bottleneck or anything like that.

(For that matter, my system setup is:

- Intel Core i5-4460 [email protected]
- ASRock B85M motherboard
- HIS IceQ x2 Mini Radeon R9 270X
- 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM
- Thermaltake Hamburg 530W PSU
- running the latest Windows 10 64-bit)

(I also tried completely wiping the AMD drivers and reinstalling different versions of it, but it didn't change the problem. Currently running the newest Crimson Edition Software.)

So yeah, no idea what's going on or how to fix this, but here it is.

Merry christmas btw.
