As stated previously, emulating this game is highly demanding on computer hardware. However, any or all of the following steps will greatly improve performance: | |||
* | * Having a modern, Intel-brand CPU; not AMD | ||
* Due to architectural improvements, the CPU should utilize the latest microarchitecture available | * Due to architectural improvements, the CPU should utilize the latest microarchitecture available | ||
* | * Overclocking the CPU to 4.0 GHz or higher (The only Intel CPUs with a base clock this high are the i7-4790K and i7-6700k). | ||
* VU Cycle Stealing should be set to level 1 or 2 | * VU Cycle Stealing should be set to level 1 or 2 | ||
* A strong GPU if on hardware mode (GTX 660 or above recommended) | |||
If all of the above requirements are met, the game will run smoothly at 60 frames per second with minimal slowdowns. | |||

|Description=This is a side effect of VU Cycle Stealing. It basically causes an effect where certain textures become translucent, especially when viewed from a distance. | |Description=This is a side effect of VU Cycle Stealing.

|Workaround=There is unfortunately no solution to this problem right now, as VU Cycle Stealing is necessary to make the game run at full speed. | |Workaround=There is unfortunately no solution to this problem right now, as VU Cycle Stealing is almost always necessary to make the game run at full speed. | ||
