(Taking the discussion to the proper topic) Here are a few facts I've managed to determine by experimenting with this game, the
Speed Patch, and various versions of RPCS3.
The Speed Patch will work only if either of the following conditions are verified:
- You are playing the 1.30 (vanilla) version of the game.
- You are playing any version of the game (such as 1.40) using an older build of RPCS3. The latest build I tried that correctly employs the patch is from June 19, and the earliest one I've tried where it doesn't work anymore is from around July 20 (I haven't tried anything in-between).
In short, with recent RPCS3 builds the patch
won't work for the 1.40 version of this game.
(note that if you're downgrading your game to 1.30 from 1.40, you may need to start a new game in order to see the difference)
