This greatly increases the severity of the upscaling glitches in certain parts of the game. If it still doesn't run well at native resolution, your PC is probably not powerful enough to run the game.ĭo not go above 3x internal resolution in any case. Again, if the game doesn't run at full speed just reduce Internal Resolution as needed. The only real drawback is that the hangar screen graphics are broken, otherwise it looks basically the same. This uses the D3D11 renderer instead of OpenGL, which is less accurate in theory but should be significantly more performant, especially on AMD GPUs. If it still doesn't run at full speed, I recommend just going with option B.ī) If you need better performance, use these settings.

If the game doesn't run at full speed (may not happen right away as some missions are more demanding than others), you can reduce Internal Resolution to 2x and see if that fixes it. At this point you have two options:Ī) If you want the best overall settings and have a reasonably capable PC, you'll probably want to use these settings. Go to Config -> Video (GS) -> Plugin Settings. On PCSX2, make sure System -> Enable Cheats is checked. pnach file contains codes to disable interlacing ( courtesy of user asasega at the PCSX2 forums this is required to fix various graphical glitches plus it makes the game look better in general) and also fix a sun texture issue (courtesy of PCSX2 dev Kojin). Extract the file in whatever location is convenient (may need to install 7-Zip).ĭownload this file and place it in PCSX2's 'cheats' folder (this folder is created when you run PCSX2 for the first time). These settings will not work correctly on PAL (Europe) or NTSC-J (Japan) copies.ĭownload this PCSX2 build. Make sure you have a NTSC-U (North America) copy of AC04. TugaAvenger's PS2 AC emulation tutorial should do the trick, and it touches on some of the same points as this post, but there are some key differences. Note that this assumes some basic familiarity with PCSX2, so if you need a general PCSX2 tutorial you'll have to look elsewhere.

Do note you still need to be using the NTSC-U version of the games, and for AC04 specifically the 'Update 2' section at the bottom of this post may also be relevant. It should also work just fine for AC5 and ACZ. Alternatively to everything below, you can just refer to this comment which includes a link to a pre-configured build of PCSX2 that is optimal for AC04 plus some information.
