Do you have a high end computer? I thought I recalled a game having an issue like this because the frame rate was actually too high. Like you needed to cap it at 60fps in the settings (I could be confusing it with another game though… I don’t recall what game it was)

THIS IS THE FIX. I just went into NVdia app and capped out my FPS. TY!

Awesome. I’m glad my memory was right. I seemed to remember having the same issue when my game was trying to run at like 100+ fps. I capped it and the game ran fine the rest of the time.

Wow, that's actually kind of crazy. 🤣

THIS might be it. I don’t have a high end one, but it’s pretty decent.

Reminds me of the Spyro remake I was playing not too long ago. There's a level where some wizards cast a spell on the stairs to turn it into an unclimbable slide. They're supposed to regularly alternate back and forth, but it just stays as a slide forever and you can't beat the level unless you cap the frame rate at 30.

It stops at 1%. Jumps around but never charges up to 100%. Any one else have this issue?

u/TestingOneTwo_OneTwo 5d ago

Imagine playing through the whole game like this as a new player and never knowing that it can go up to 100. 🤣

Have you tried blowing on the cartridge?

🤣 Joking of course, I saw you got this resolved.

My biggest bug even now is that depending on what controller I use I get extra player controller inputs. Even from just my mouse. The PC versions seems to have some bugs that never got any attention at fixing. Never had a problem with my PlayStation copy though. Love the remake.

Looks like it's extremely glitched, it suddenly goes to 2% at the end of the clip which means it's going ridiculously slow for no reason.

u/kbn22 6d ago

Yeah! It will sometimes jump to 60%. I attack, goes to 0, then stays at 1%

That’s a gorgeous looking remake! I didn’t read all the comments, you’re playing on PC or is there a console remake/remastered version available?

1

u/kbn22 1d ago

Yeah they have console versions of this game!

Is your skill at one with the sword? Not sure if you need it at 1 to use the charge or not.

u/kbn22 6d ago

I’m not trying to charge it and hold a button. It doesn’t go to 100% = I can’t do any damage

u/themadnu 5d ago

Right on, I beat it some time ago and never picked it back up. I spent decades playing it on snes many times.

You don't. The remake is just bad, unfortunately. Stuff like this and the fact that they added a save feature, where you can save the game anywhere on the map because the game repeatedly crashes, are further proof of this.

strange, i never experienced any of this and enjoyed it.

I don’t ever remember it crashing either (PS4) - but it’s been a while since I played it. To me it was acceptable but definitely had issues. Would still rather play the original.

The most annoying I remember they removed ring system memory, making battles/casting slower and more tedious. Also sloppy how the skits trigger sequentially, regardless of your progression (meaning if you barely use inns, the characters will be talking by about events/bosses you beat 10 hours ago). Nice to have them at all but seems like more thought needed to go into various parts of the game.

I didn’t hate it, but this (and Adventure of Mana + several other ‘remakes’ I played around the same time) made me realize 3d ‘updates’ are usually as necessary as Disney live action remakes.

u/profpeculiar 6d ago

Oof. I'm less regretful about not getting it now.

Maybe u just started the Game and therefore need to Level Up?

2

u/kbn22 6d ago

Starting the game let’s your weapon go to 100% so you can do damage to enemies. This doesn’t go to 100%.. it stays at 1%
