Hello all,

I have been attempting to do a run of this game on the PC with the SOE Operation Avalanche edition of the game.

Unfortunately, when I get to The Castle it becomes impossible to proceed due to the staircases not being able to be climbed. There seems to be physics problems that just bounce you back.

I attempted to follow the Guide item that said to cap FPS to 60 to avoid these physics issues, but it doesnt seem like it worked.

I have tried using the Nvidia Control Panel to cap at both 30 and 60 FPS and set monitor to 60HZ refresh rate and it still does it regardless.

Any thoughts or ideas? Appreciate you all.

sadly, I have nothing for you. Stairs on PC seem to be a mixed bag for all games in this engine. I dont know if its a framerate issue per se, but that does seem to work for some people, but not for others.

I know exactly where you are talking about as I have both seen and experienced PC issues on that exact spot. I wish I could be more help to you but I honestly havent the foggiest how to go about fixing this for PC players outside of maybe running a VM or trying some kind of windows compatibility mode.

I never used Nvidia to cap the FPS, try using bandicam as my guide said, if my guide doesn't work, try lowering it even more, it's just a button press so if you experience the choppy FPS of let's say 30 for few seconds of climbing the ladders and then immediately revert back once you're on the top of the stairs it won't affect your overall experience, sadly that's the only thing you can do. And by the way, if you beat the game, send me your save file, because I couldn't beat the escort mission where you protect an idiot in a snowy city as he just dives right to the enemies and die every single time. Where it said (set FPS limit to) you can change the number 60 to 30 or 40 or anything you want. Because this game can reach an unlimited amount of FPS, I have a 15-year-old PC, and I still managed to get almost 500 FPS in the game.

Thank you everyone for your quick responses!

I was able to get things working in the end with dgVoodoo using the settings below.

I also managed to beat the game, but didnt make any Save Files of the run, sorry Leon! I think it was faster to Not Save (which seems to be an option in the PC version but not the PS2 version), and in the final snowy city map I pretty much just corner humped shooting the packs of guards.

Submitted my run :)

Not a problem, I'm happy things worked out for you, and you managed to submit a run, I just could get past a certain level because the idiot I was supposed to protect kept diving head 1st into the enemies.

And sorry for the late response, I didn't get a notification, and I had some campus problems to take care of.
