Known Issues
Missing fullscreen post-fx in Hardware mode
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: These post-fx are being removed due to CRC hacks as they tend to cause a bunch of issues.
- Workaround: You can set the CRC Fix Level to None (Debug) to bring these effects back. In such a case, you will instead need to not use any Skipdraw values, and change the Half-Pixel Offset hack to Special (Texture). You will get some semi-transparent white lines on the right-edge of the screen that can't be fixed presently, but on native resolution (or Software mode) the post-fx will work properly.
Excessive blur when upscaling / interlacing ghosting
- Status: Active
- Type: Major
- Description: The game uses a lot of post-process vertical blur strips to simulate DoF effects in the game, and unfortunately they don't really work all that well in high resolutions, making the game unbearably blurry and with plenty of ghosting apparent due to the interlace.
- Workaround: You will want to tick the "Disable Interlace Offset" option under the Display tab, and also enable the Skipdraw hack with values 12,40 to remove the blur strips. Lastly, enable the Half-Pixel Offset: Normal (Vertex) hack to properly align the remaining blur filter.
FMVs suffer from constant audio stuttering
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Severe
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
