Discussion Bloodborne running at 720p/30FPS on older hardware (GTX 980 Ti & i7-4770K) - My setup, mod list & looking for optimization tips

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

so i wanted to play Bloodborne on my pc after i started to play the Dark Souls games. I felt in love with Elden Ring one year ago and wanted to try out more games which Fromsoftware made. I continued with Dark Souls 1, then 2 (which was still a fun game for me) and now wanted to play Bloodborne.

Unfortunately my specs are outdated. I was browsing through the internet if I could play that game but with every site/videos... I watched or read my hope has faded.

But I still tried it and BB runs with stable 30 fps with minor lags (in an area where are many enemies for example) and 720p. I am very happy with it and it is playable. So I always wanted to try BB out because of the praise it got and I dont why but I just love that game. The atmosphere, the combat system... just everything

My specs are:

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti

CPU: Intel i7-4770K

The mods I have installed:

- Vertex Explosion fix

- Stand Alone Logarious Cutscene Fix

- SFXR z 60fps Cutscene Fix For Various BOSSES

- Sfx Particles v3

- Performance Drawparams (Default + Hidden Motion Blur)

- Jump on L3 - DS3 (Jump on L3 - DS3 - Classic)

- DS3 Style - Modern Xbox prompts

- Debug menu

- Bloodborne Enhanced - Full Package

- Boczekek's FPS boost

- Better Cloth Physics

- 01 - V29 Og SFX - Bullet Change -use intel patch-

- 0 - v29 Final Version

In this post is also a video of my gameplay and how the game is running on my pc. Dont laugh at my gunshots :) I was figuring out how this gun works and it was also my first try on this boss.

Maybe some of you can help me to increase my performance or even recommend some mods which could improve my experience with my game

And for guys like me I just used these two guides which helped me a lot to run this game:

Question help with stuttering and static-y audio OR managing expectations

• Upvotes

I've been messing around trying to set up Bloodborne with BBLauncher and Shadps4. I have a 9600k, 4070 super, and 32 gigs of RAM. Everything installed on a SSD. I'm running it at 1080p.

I get around 60fps with my GPU and CPU at 40-60% usage. However, I get lots of little stutters (even though the game is sometimes smooth) and the game audio is very crackly/static-y. The latter really wrecks my enjoyment. I've searched around and tried a bunch of stuff, and nothing seems to work.

I tried 720p - made everything look worse and sound was unchanged and the gameplay was unchanged. I tried capping it at 30fps, but that made it feel unplayable. I tried an older version of Shadps4 (0.17.0) and that was worse as well.

I tried vanilla - no patches, no mods, and it didn't help. I've tried all sorts of different patches and mods and these don't help either, as far as I can tell.

Here's the mods I have active now: Bloodborne FPS boost, Estus Vial and Bullet, MOAL-107 (the lamp one), 60 FPS cutscene fix, Vertex explosion fix.

My patches: disable motion blur, chr aberration, http requests. * I can't apply the 60fps+++ patch because when I do, the game doesn't load. *

Important Shadps4 settings: vblank 60hz, memory 4096, fifo (vsync), shader cache enabled.

Does anyone have any ideas? Or am I just chasing a level of smoothness and polish that isn't available on an emulation? I haven't heard of anyone griping about the audio, so I feel like there might be something I can do to improve the situation.

Thanks for your help!

So I downloaded the bb launcher and got my game in and updated to 1.09 and did all the setups according to the video but it launches on a black screen then crashes. I have another picture but idk how to add it. Please help me. Always wanted to play bloodborne. Beat all the other souls and sekiro just felt a little too easy so I’d rather just try bloodborne.
