Known Issues
Bugged Chat And Battle Text

Screen Jumping

- Description: The entire rendered game (Text, battles, world, all of it, the entire game) micro jumps up and down. Does not affect play, however, is highly annoying.
- Workaround: Turning off MTVU(Multi-threaded MicroVU1) under the speedhacks menu fixes this.
Jet Attack Lockup
- Status: Active
