|Comments=Originally, I wasn't using MTVU or OPH flag and had EE cyclerate and VU cycle stealing at 1, and there was noticeable lag; sometimes framerate would drop to around 45fps, but got low as 30fps during the battle with Gaius. Lag wasn't always particularly noticeable as I was initially using Async Mix audio. Increasing EE cyclerate and VU cycle stealing to 2, enabling MTVU and OPH flag hack made the game run at full speed at all times. Only issue I still noticed was faint white lines at the left and upper sides of the screen, most noticeable in cutscenes and underwater (presumably they'd be more visible if I didn't increase the zoom). Fully playable.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Low performance
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=2
|Description=Game runs very slowly.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Emulation Settings > Speedhacks, and increase the VU Cycle Stealing until it runs smoothly. Note: Using VU Cycle Stealing can cause certain textures to become translucent, specially when viewed from a distance.
* '''Workaround:''' Go to Config > Emulation Settings > Game Fixes, and enable OPH Flag Hack. This should lead to a noticeable boost in performance in some areas.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Over-bloom
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=The bloom lighting is too bright, making it difficult to see much of the screen when out in sunny locations.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, use the OpenGL Hardware Renderer and set "Accurate Date" to "Fast" and "Accurate Blending" to "Medium". Alternatively set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.
* '''Workaround:''' Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set CRC Hack Level to "Aggressive" (Note: this disables the bloom effect completely).

{{Issue
|IssueName=Low performance
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=-1
|Description=Game runs very slowly.
|Workaround=There are two aspects to this issue. On original hardware, the game's FPS will sometimes dip and as such is not an issue with PCSX2. However, SotC is also a very demanding game to emulate due to its effects, and as such it may also perform poorly when emulated if the hardware is not fast enough. For the former, increasing the cycle rate has not been tested and as such is not recommended without understanding the risks of doing so. For the latter, make sure you're on the latest version of PCSX2 for the best performance possible.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Over-bloom
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=The bloom lighting is too bright, making it difficult to see much of the screen when out in sunny locations.
|Workaround=Use the software renderer on older versions of PCSX2 where this is an issue. For much older versions of PCSX2 which had this hack, setting CRC Hack to Aggressive disables the bloom entirely.
