Relatively minor, but annoying Vagrant Story issue

    When I Play Vagrant Story, everything works fine except for one thing. The "Now Loading" text occasionally appears in the middle of cutscenes, sometimes with a black box around it. Anyone else ever have this issue, and know how to resolve it?

    NOTE: I use epsxe.

    Maybe changing or configuring your graphic's plugin will help.

    Which plugins did you use? as well your ePSXe version.

    My version is 1.7, and for my graphics plugin I'm using PEC.

    If you're using PEC, which GPU plugins did you use for the emulator?

    PEC isn't really a graphics plugin, it's a cheat plugin. Pretty sure you still select a graphics plugin after selecting PEC.

    ...I just checked, and that's actually right. Turns out my main GPU plugin is Pete's Open GL, if that helps.

    If you are using Pete's OpenGL1/2, set the plugin configuration to 'Nice'.

    Can you post a screenshot of your Plugin Configuration (or just type it out... screenshot is faster though).

    Maybe list some computer specs as well (video card mostly).

    Well, my video card is an 8700M with the latest driver. As for my configurations:

    Plugin: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9
    Author: Pete Bernert
    Card vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
    GFX card: GeForce 8700M GT/PCI/SSE2

    Resolution/Color:
    - 800x600 Fullscreen - NO desktop changing
    - Internal X resolution: 1
    - Internal Y resolution: 1
    - Keep psx aspect ratio: off
    - No render-to-texture: off

    - Filtering: 0
    - Hi-Res textures: 0
    - TexWin pixel shader: off
    - VRam size: 0 MBytes

    Framerate:
    - FPS limitation: on
    - Frame skipping: off
    - FPS limit: Auto

    - Offscreen drawing: 2
    - Framebuffer effects: 3
    - Framebuffer uploads: 1

    Misc:
    - Scanlines: off
    - Mdec filter: on

    - Shader effects: 0/1
    - Flicker-fix border size: 0
    - GF4/XP crash fix: off
    - Game fixes: off [00000000]

    EDIT: And for the record, setting it to "nice" didn't work. All it did was make it windowed. And when I tried to set the soft plugin settings to nice, it said the resolution/color depth wasn't supported.
