Games initial menus worked fine in Hardware mode, once I picked a game to play (Aplha 2w) it would not render. Switch to software mode and it works flawlessly. Not rendering probably due to the fact the games are not ports but emulations. Bios v 2.0 was used. | Zrooney |
NTSC-U | Windows 10 |

1.7.0-dev-1526 | Built-in (AVX2) (SW) | Built-in | Games run fine, without any graphical glitches or slowdowns noted in SW mode. In HW mode, games experience lots of graphical glitches and slowdowns, so stay with SW for this one. Also, HDD functionality works as expected. | Maxdlpee |

1.7.2420 | Built-in (AVX2) (HW) | Built-in | Games initial menus worked fine in Hardware mode, HDD installing works fine once formatted. Games have graphical glitches on any upscaling mode other than the native res. Bios v 2.0 was used. | Gameboi64 |

Known Issues
Extreme Lag, Distorted in-game graphics
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Major
- Description: Games render very slowly even on high end hardware due to extreme amounts of texture uploads and draws.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
This has been fixed. Emulated games correctly render with the HW Vulkan renderer, as of latest nightly builds - 1.7.5004 tested. No configuration changes required.
UPDATE 11/19/24: This issue has (partially) resurfaced. Tested up to build 1.7.5900, no issues. The next version I tested was 1.7.5928, which reintroduced some distorted sprites at any rendering resolution above 1x. Newer versions like v2.3.x render sprites correctly in-game, some menu distortions/tiling remain. The game has a smooth framerate in both versions.
Uneven pixel rendering in-game sprites/graphics
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: At native resolution, the game renders graphics with uneven pixels, even with integer scaling enabled.
- Workaround: No known workaround. Check the PCSX2 Discord for more information.
Set the Rendering resolution to at least 3x (1080p) for correct pixels. This only worked for specific nightly builds (like 1.7.5900). At 1x rendering you are stuck with uneven pixels, likely accurate to the original release.
UPDATE 11/19/24: Partially resolved again as of v2.3.x. Setting rendering resolution above 1x distorts certain menus and UI elements, but in-game sprites and graphics generally render correctly now.
