you're running an old version of the emulator, update to the 6.1 nightly and let's take it from there :)

- Make sure your Bloodborne is patched to version 1.09.

- Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.

- Make sure you're running a somewhat recent graphics card (20xx series in Nvidia terms)

[u/carrot_plus_plus → u/mescalineeyes]

Damn I'm on gtx1660Ti, I should upgrade sooner or later

[u/mescalineeyes → u/carrot_plus_plus]

Yes and no, I've heard conflicting reports with that card, since funnily enough despite the nomenclature it's just a binned 20xx series chip IIRC.)

[u/carrot_plus_plus → u/mescalineeyes]

Thank you for the info!

[u/JacksSmirkingCavity → u/carrot_plus_plus]

Yes and no. I recently played through the entire game using a laptop with GTX 1650. Had a few crashes here and there, but the game was stable otherwise.

[u/Deqapitation → u/mescalineeyes]

ok im on the latest drivers check
i was in the latest stable emulator state (i will put nightly then)
i got a 1660S and i have seen ppl run the game with worse hardware so idk
and yes BB is on 1.09

[u/Deqapitation → u/Deqapitation]

i put the recommended patches as well, nothing works.

[u/Deqapitation → u/Deqapitation]

I get this, and i have seen many ppl have this problem, is it hardware side or software???

[u/itsbildo → u/Deqapitation]

Probably your hardware

[u/Deqapitation → u/itsbildo]

how, ppl run this shit with way worse hardware tf

[u/armascool → u/Deqapitation]

maybe theyre using older / other versions of emulator

[u/-Lugubrious-]

The only version that works for me without crashing like any of the newer version with FSR do is the diegolix29 release "shadps4-win64-qt-2025-03-10-ba1eb29" I don't know why but this version seems to have been removed from the github and I'm glad I kept the download.

[u/Deqapitation → u/-Lugubrious-]

can u send it?

[u/-Lugubrious- → u/Deqapitation]

I sent you DM but here's a link if you still can't find it. https://limewire.com/d/fe78d846-8191-4b5a-9d15-e6ae1d72df24#ra2CXToTzIimStMqNWWwTePvB_ZYAnNsActOroJ4EdM

[u/Gloomy-Ad3143 → u/-Lugubrious-]

Windows defender alert on this one.

[u/-Lugubrious- → u/Gloomy-Ad3143]

Yes, you are going to get Windows defender alert it's because it's an unrecognized app. Like pretty much anything off GitHub. Go ahead and virus total it.  https://i.gyazo.com/6d67d19329a11e6e819658459c0f53a6.png

[u/Deqapitation → u/-Lugubrious-]

the gatekeep is real with that 1 😭

[u/hugovld]

If nothing works, You can try diferent pkg

[u/Deqapitation → u/hugovld]

yeah thats what im doin rn, will give feedback if anything works out.

[u/Vip3rFox]

What worked for me was repairing my Visual C+++

[u/Deqapitation → u/Vip3rFox]

i have done this as well

[u/Mean-Credit6292]

If nothing works try to get help on their Discord server, I resolved most of my problem with the emu there.

[u/Deqapitation → u/Mean-Credit6292]

yeah thats a good idea tbh

[u/Airpaisa23]

I haven’t noticed it mentioned but for me it helped to download the Microsoft visual c++ package just look up vc redist and download the newest might help it did for me .

[u/Deqapitation → u/Airpaisa23]

im on the latest visual++

[u/That-Objective-438]

Did you set the emulator up manually? If you're willing, maybe download the Dodi repack. If you haven't, they basically do it for you, and it works out of the box, at least for me.

[u/Deqapitation → u/That-Objective-438]

okay i will try thanks

[u/Deqapitation]

I cant even understand if its an issue with the game files, or the emulator.

[u/hugovld]

We need more info

[u/Deqapitation → u/hugovld]

as i said im running the game on latest nvidia drivers on a 1660S with 16gb ram
Bloodborne is on the latest version n put the recommended patches and stuff
emu is on the latest version as well. Idk what to do

[u/According-Tonight666]

Are you using an intel cpu?if so then you need like 2 mods that are essential for it to run vertex mod and the intel fix mod.

[u/Deqapitation → u/According-Tonight666]

nop, ryzen 5

[u/Putaku_]

Did you have de sys files? I had that issue with Project Diva

[u/Deqapitation → u/Putaku_]

yeah i did

[u/47chikage]

Download the one in Dodi repacks it comes with emulator and BB bundled in a setup it's litteraly plug and play
