{{Issue
|IssueName=Grid obscures FMV's
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=A grid appears over videos, obscuring and darkening the image when the resolution is set to anything higher than native.
|Workaround=As of recent v1.5.0 git builds, this is resolved by default as long as "Automatic Gamefixes" is enabled. To enable the fix manually go to Config > Emulation Settings > Game Fixes tab, click "enable manual game fixes" and enable the "Switch to GSdx Software rendering when an FMV plays" fix. Alternatively go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, make sure Renderer is set to "OpenGL (Hardware), click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks, and enable the '''Unscale Point Line''' hack.

|Workaround=Unknown, switching to software mode with F9 might help, but this causes other more major issues (see above).
|Workaround: The Issue has been fixed on the latest nightly build, PR that fixed it was 11028. (Loading a savestate or changing from hardware to software will make the issue re-appear)
Note: For older versions like 1.6 there is no fix.

|Workaround=Use '''Software mode''' or '''OpenGL''' rendering.
|Workaround=On newer nightly version there is a pop-up with instructions of how to enable the fix, follow said instructions. (Not enabled by default due to how hard it can make the game to run on older systems).
Note: For 1.6 or older: Use '''Software mode''' or '''OpenGL''' rendering while setting blending to full.
