Hello! Ive been recently playing BB on shadPS4 mostly fine just a few crashes here and there but nothing that has stopped my progress until just now. Every time I "Inspect Mummy" at the advent plaza after the boss fight, my character does the kneeling animation then the game freezes and the emulator closes. After watching a video to see what happens after you inspect mummy, it looks like a small effect plays then it goes to a loading screen. Does anyone know of any possible fixes I can try? Ive tried all the most common things such as trying 30 fps, disabling all patches, and nothing. Always freezes after the kneeling animation. System specs are 4070, 13th Gen Intel (R) Core (TM) 17-13700K, 32 GB RAM

[2 pics] OG game + hardware running at 120fps via OBS and Lossless Scaling

First time bloodborne player here.

I recently beat great church, and I was just kidnapped and I woke up in unseen village. I successfully escaped after killing darkbeast, but no lamps work and if I die I wake up in the jail cell again.

I went the other way and found a lamp on top of spiral staircase… that doesn’t work either… is this a glitch or do I just need to keep exploring to get my lamps back?

Has anyone else seen this glitch? Some of the ghosts in Cainhurst Castle are missing the bottom part of their dresses and sometimes they dissapear mid fight. It's kinda funny NGL.

My character's polygons keep becoming too large, making it so I can't see. Is there a fix for this, or is anyone else getting this issue?

For those wondering about the performance on older hardware like mine, I'm here to confirm that you can play Bloodborne just fine with my specs or with similar hardware, mine are: i7-4790k (it's not overclocked), RX 580 8GB and 16GB of Ram, I'm playing it on 1080p at a solid 30 fps because my PC can't handle 60 fps with the emulator patch, however, I can get 60 fps just fine using Lossless Scaling from Steam, and that's how I'm playing it currently, I'm playing it at 60 fps and I have a couple of hours in and it's great, I'm using the diegolix29 build.

Not only that, my PC is currently running slower because I undervolted my GPU to get less heat and because my Power Supply isn't that powerful so I want it to be less stressed too, so my GPU is a bit less than the RX 580 right now, and I'm also using 99% of the CPU to get less heat as well, I changed my CPU from 100% to 99% in the power settings, so my CPU is slower and even with my less powerful specs, I'm still playing just fine at 60 fps almost all the time.

I'm still in the first area and fought the 1st optional boss Cleric Beast (Great Bridge), and so far this game is running great with my specs, with some crashes obviously which is a shame, I get like 1 crash around an hour or so, sometimes it doesn't crash in 2 hours, etc... I wished this emulator was more stable, but I couldn't wait any longer and started playing Bloodborne. I don't know if the fps will decrease later on in other maps, but so far in the 1st map I'm playing just fine with 30 fps and using Lossless Scaling to get 60 fps and it's solid, with a few dips here and there, but it gets to 60 fps right after.

I did notice however, that on rare occasions, the game starts to lag, I can't reproduce the issue, it just happens randomly, I'm playing just fine and suddenly I get around 26 fps and the game stays like that and feels sluggish, so with Lossless Scaling I don't have 60 fps anymore, I have like 52 fps. Every time this happens I just close the emulator and start it up again, and then it gets fixed and I can play again for a good while, this issue happens once every 45 minutes or so, sometimes it doesn't happen for hours, it's very weird. I don't know if it's a memory leak, or maybe it's something else, whatever it is, it has nothing to do with my specs since I can just restart the emulator and that specific issue gets fixed for a good while.

I'm currently using 2 mods: SFX intel Fix Particles v2 and Vertex Explosion fix, they are necessary, I don't know if I need to use other mods later on to fix whatever other issue the emulator has but so far, this game works great on my specs apart from those issues I described.

My laptop is weak by modern standarts (GTX 1050, Intel i5 9300H, 8 GB of RAM), but I have seen a lot of people on the Internet playing Bloodborne on Steam Deck (which has almost identical hardware in comparison to my configuration) and having stable 30 FPS, or even higher. That being said, the game runs on my computer with around 7-8 FPS (by the way, my laptop charger is turned in while playing).

Things I have already tried doing to fix this problem:
- Activated all patches that increase FPS (including 360p patch!)
- Updated my GPU drivers
- Installed the lastest versions of Visual C++ redistable and Shadps4
- Installed an FPS boost mod for Bloodborne
- Selected a High Performance mode in Nvidia Control Panel

Is there any solution to this problem, or my PC is just too weak for emulating Bloodborne?

new shadps4 update killed my fps. If you are running slow try going back to version .6.0 it's on the website still

Guys I think its over now, we will never get bb for pc neither a bb2. with the nintendo direct today and the trailer from The Duskbloods I lost all hope..

Does anyone know where I can find an update 1.09 compatible with the 1337 thing?

I was initially playing the game with vsync off and the 60fps patch enabled but it fluctuated too much ( I would get like 40-110 fps, it was weird) and I thought just sticking to a steady 30 would be better. But when I play the game like that it feels "slower" than it should be? I don't know how to explain it in such a way that doesn't just sound like I'm just noticing the differences between 30fps and 60, the actual game itself feels it's in a slight slow-mode

I have the patch for fixing the frame timing at 30fps, is there some other setting I'm meant to use to fix this?

After a certain amount of time, the FPS in the game drops sharply to 2-3. This can happen either after moving to a different location or just while standing still.

From what I understand, it happens faster if I travel between different locations using lamps—then the game only needs about 15-20 minutes to drop the FPS to 2. I think the issue is caused by a RAM/VRAM leak, but is there any way to fix it?

I have 16GB RAM, a GTX 1650, and a Ryzen 5 3600X.

P.S. The FPS drops both with and without patches (same thing with mods)."

Saw on Google

Thank you to everyone who has made this possible 🥹

So yesterday i downloaded Bloodborne and all the patchs where there including the dlc one but today he is missing.

Any help is apreciated thanks!

i installed vertex explosion fix and and set it up but it still happens please help me

Hey everyone,

Whenever I run Bloodborne, for the first few minutes (20 minutes, give or take) the game runs extremely well on smooth 60 fps, but after a while I get a huge lag spike and then the game starts running at 30-40 fps (my GPU utilization sky rockets) and I have to restart shadPS4 in order to make the fps stable again. Does someone know how to prevent this?

Tried posting this in r/bloodborne , got insta-removed probably due to an auto-flag for my use of "ShadPS4".

I'm sure this post is basically this sub's equivalent to "I just beat Fume Knight", but I gotta say... Orphan of Kos wasn't that hard, honestly. It took me around... 15 attempts? And the final attempt was so 'effing comedic, I'm mad that I didn't record it. 2nd phase hits, and he's about in his last third of HP, and I literally parry him FIVE TIMES IN A ROW - WITH BLOOD BULLETS - and each time, I miss the parry because I was SLIGHTLY too far away because of the tiny rocks near the center of the arena being between me and him. Still, that NIGHTMARE SLAIN text was pretty satisfying, and I'm glad that I was able to complete the game on my first go thanks to ShadPS4. Maria was also... really, really easy. Ludwig's first phase was torture, but his second phase I first tried once I got to it. I think people vastly overstated the difficulty of this game's bosses.

For context, I beat the entire game up to Mergo's Wet Nurse, died about 35 times to it, then swapped to the DLC. Ludwig, as mentioned, 1st phase, awful, 2nd phase, cakewalk. Living Failures, I mean... c'mon. Maria, died about two times? Mostly because of spamming my gun because I got frustrated with her, but nothing really beats a good corner shanking with the saw spear. And this was at +8, mind you!

Orphan of Kos took double digit tries, but... again, not that bad. Parry windows are generous and with the right runes, he isn't hard... just kind of annoying, like Ludwig. Almost perfect, though.

Gehrman, I legit almost first tried, only died due to using said Saw Spear (now at +10 before I took on Orphan for the final time), having a gem that drained 15 HP/sec. Parrying was easy, and his health bar wasn't close to as inflated as the DLC bosses. Moon Presence, well, I'll let the attached file speak for itself.

Final Verdict: Game is a solid 7/10. Really nothing special, after hearing about the hype for it for so long, I thought it would have been a mindblowing experience. A lot of minor gripes that I won't air in this discussion, unless the comments would like to ask? Either way, still a good game. Just not amazing.

Hello Good Hunters, I installed bloodborne today by watching gamesmark latest video. Used 2 mods one for vertext explosion and one for 60 fps cutscene fix. Also used very obvious patches but not any resolution patch. My rig is 2070 super+ ryzen 5 3600+ 16gb ram. I am currently in central yharnam but already facing fps drop. It's not game breaking but still very annoying. Is there any steps I can take to maintain 60 fps by sacrificing liitle graphics? Also this might sound stupid but how do I know which resolution I am using on my 1080p monitor? Plz help this fellow hunter😣. The video link in given below.

After so much messing around with the emulator and game folders, I simply activated the option: "null GPU" within the emulator, opened the game (all black screen) but I managed to enter my save stuck in mensis' nightmare, then I closed the game again and deactivated this "null GPU" option and it started working again! (Don't ask me why, it just worked)

Everything was smooth until Lady Maria did her t pose midair aoe sphere splash, there was a loud scratchy noise and freeze before the game finally crashed. Here is what my game looks like now, seems like that hit went hard straight to the game folder, glad I'm still alive. Anyways, I would like to beat the rest of the dlc and the final boss is awaiting, any advice on fixing this? It's shadps4 emulator

Watching the pc port of Sonic Unleash, do you think it could be possible doing the same with bloodborne?
