The Tales of Symphonia PC-Port is a mess!

I wonder if there is hidden 60 FPS code in the game somewhere, I mean the engine can't have changed *that* much? Unless they moved all the assets over to an entirely different engine for the PS2 port. (Which is the foundation of the PS3 port is the foundation of the PC port)

It is funny anyhow, if I'm thinking right they had to halve the frames from the GC to the PS2 version, but the raw data should be available in 60 fps. Maybe I'm wrong though.
It's such a pity that one of my favourite games is released in such a sorry state. I was hoping it would be done competently, and sell well enough to see other games in the series ported to PC.
I guess you could say that this thread is for Indignation.

I think I'll wait for it to get down to 50% off before considering a purchase.
10 quid for Namco and 10 quid donated to Durante sounds about right.

On his blog he generally puts a comment for donation toward the bottom of his posts.

Thank you.
I didn't know tags had a character limit.
If Durante continues to fix games, maybe he can fix the tag limit next for his qualification list.

I still can't get over "LazyMofo".
Durante to the rescue! Thanks.
Looking forward to reading the article too.
I'd hope one day some of these devs start to realise people actually care about this stuff. I accepted Tecmo Koei's poor work when it was their first steam release (DW8), but it's just silly at this point.

The PS3 version is so much worse. Just take a look at the worldmap and don't even try to ride Narshe. Oh and lots of freezes on the world map. Yay, superior versoin (lol).
EDIT :
Sorry for my noobitude but how can I use GeDoSaTo with Symphonia ? It doesn't work at all for me (the game has been updated today).
Generally you should just install GeDoSaTo, run it, and then run the game. (By default, the game is set to render at 4k, so you might want to change that)
I can't get it to work either.
Where is the article. It's been nearly an hour! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!
I already did that. It doesn't seem to be hooking to the game in my case.
I couldn't find Symphonia in the whitelist so I added it to that, but that didn't seem to work. (DRM maybe affecting it, I dunno if the exe it creates is a different name)
Article is live!
Broken PC ports like Tales of Symphonia are unacceptable
EDIT: Whoof, the ether is strong.

Durante fixed the locked resolution in 8-15 minutes? What a no effort port.
Thank you so much, Durante. The $20 this game would have cost me if I didn't get this as a pre-order bonus is going directly to you.

Damn shame that the widescreen mod Dolphin ToS is still the best version of the game due to all the spelling errors and framerate. Hell it even looks better.
That was fast. Good work.
I've also had it with developers/publishers that have proven that they have no interest in improving their port factory.

Man I'm glad K-T finally got called out somewhere for their crap.
Shouldn't be too hard in itself I guess. Once you have the install path it should be pretty easy to guess what file is the new exe, even with a new name.
I would appreciate if someone makes a thread for the article, since I have a few small things to add.
Ok, I'm trying it now
.... and now Symphonia doesn't run anymore (the game resolution was 720p.).Wow, the "none" screenshot is from me ^^, glad to see it serves the cause ! And nice article !
Great article. Not enough shitting on K-T though
He needs dat Atelier on PC. Can't burn the bridge before that.

Works now, great job. Although it doesn't really agree with 16:10 from what I can see. I'll post some screenshots in half-time of this football match I'm watching.
Nice. That's cleared up the game massively.
The only downside is I'm getting some rather weird frame drops at 4k. Dropping to early-mid 20s on the title screen and in game sometimes on my 970.
Will have to take a look later to see if I can find out why it's hating my PC so much. I find it hard to believe 4k on it is that intensive. :I

Even though Durante doesn't like Symphonia he still saves the day
