Game runs well at 5X native resolution. Had some weird screen refresh rate problem during a cutscene, but it only happened once. I did not experience any slow down when a lot of guys were on the field. Bios v 2.0 was used. | Zrooney |

1.2.2 | GSdx | SPU2-X SDL | the more soldiers on the screen the more fps bogs down from 60 to 30FPS; some scenes require software mode or you get a black screen; very demanding even on the gpu; forget about open source AMD drivers being powerful enough at all; closed source NVIDIA drivers essential; game responds very poorly to EE timing or VU cycle stealing hacks; with a powerful enough CPU you can run this game full speed, otherwise playable with slowdowns; ending credits with the female character singing always produces graphical errors | DaTankAC |
