Smooth gameplay, with minor FPS drops, that could occur. For full speed use 60FPS for PAL system in GS settings (hack it via ini file). HOWEVER, it plays correctly (with visible menus) only in software mode, which still makes it playable.

|Comments=BIOS: USA 2.30, Game runs ok, but is pretty laggy even with my specs. There's a pretty serious issue with graphics in Hardware Mode, so it's recommended to play this in Software Mode instead. (See [[Destruction Derby Arenas#Known Issues|'''Known Issues''')]]

|Comments=Menus have been fixed and now show up properly in Hardware mode. There are still some other texture issues occurring during gameplay though such as tires showing up in bright white and some random flickering textures on the cars/distant objects. This game is still as demanding as it ever was. Both EE and GS are taking quite a hit during the more crowded parts of the game, and even with my current hardware I did notice some dips here and there during those parts. Overall it's definitely playable now at least, but quite a demanding game.

|IssueName=Menus not showing up at the end of a race in Hardware Mode.
|IssueName=Menus not showing up at the end of a race in Hardware Mode.
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=This is actually somewhat gamebreaking in GSdx Hardware Mode. Basically after you finish a race, you get a bunch of Menus, but these are not visible in GSdx Hardware Mode. This basically prevents you from moving on until you switch to Software Mode. (Or you get lucky pressing random buttons..... but there's a bunch of Menus you have to pass after each race).
|Description=Post race menus are invisible in GSdx Hardware mode.
|Workaround=Switch to Software Mode by pressing F9 to temporarily view the Menus, or play in Software Mode the entire time to never run into this issue.  
|Workaround=Fixed in recent revisions of PCSX2. (1.6.0 or above). For older versions: Go to Config -> Video (GS) -> Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and enable "Preload Frame Data". This will trigger several depth issues though. To avoid those issues temporarily switch to Software mode instead by pressing F9 to view the menus, or go to Config -> Video (GS) -> Plugin Settings and set the ''Renderer'' to any of the (Software) options to never run into this issue.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Wheels (and cars) texture issues.
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=The wheels of the cars (and sometimes cars themselves) will show up in white instead of the proper textures. This occurs in Software mode as well. Additionally, car textures might flicker sometimes too.
|Workaround=The white wheels are now fixed as of '''v1.7.3805''' or by setting the VU1 Rounding to Nearest. No solution for the flickering textures yet.
