After shutting everything down and restarting, in the tailor/barbershop the character is huge and unable to see anything above chest-level. Also, when switching weapons the weapon is shown on top of the text with name and ammo. Tried changing settings and restarting but couldn't fix it.

Known Issues

There are currently no known, active issues for this title. If you find one, please add it here.

Fixed Issues

Broken fullscreen color filter

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Major
  • Description: Fixed as of the latest version of PCSX2. The game utilizes a permanent color filter which, unfortunately, is not being emulated correctly at all in Hardware mode, resulting a solid, partially see-through block of color on the bottom half and the top is covered in colored alternating vertical bands.
  • Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
  • Last tested on: v1.7.5659

Player character's head out of frame during character creation/customization

  • Type: Not an issue
  • Description: Fixed as of build 2.3.89. Originally, due to errors within the default version of Arapapa's widescreen patch in the emulator, you'll see your character's body rather than his face in the character editor, whether you're playing for the first time or loading a save-file. This is not present when widescreen patches are disabled at game boot.

After adding some corrections, the patch was modified to prevent this, giving the option to either display or eliminate blackbars during cutscenes [1].

  • Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
  • First tested on: v2.1.1236
  • Last tested on: v2.3.89

Weapons names' and info are obscured by the weapon model during selection

  • Type: Not an issue
  • Description: Fixed as of build 2.3.89. Originally, due to errors within the default version of Arapapa's widescreen patch in the emulator, you'll see weapons' names and remaining ammo count obscured while changing them during gameplay. This is not present when widescreen patches are disabled at game boot.

After adding some corrections, the patch was modified to prevent this.

  • Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
  • First tested on: v2.1.1236
  • Last tested on: v2.3.89

Non-Issues

Lights appear through walls when upscaling

  • Type: Not an issue
  • Description: While upscaling the game, you can see light through walls. This is not present on Native resolution or in software mode.
  • Workaround: Play in native resolution, either in hardware or software mode.
