Several graphic errors, unstable framerate, white filter in DX11 mode. Can't be played properly unless you have a powerful pc. Tried it in other PCSX2 versions and has the same error, iso is a good dump. | Zerel |

Use OpenGL to resolve the white fog issue. To resolve slowdowns on AMD, I had to change the PCSX2 process affinity to only 4 Cores. Worked well both with Gamepad and Sinden Lightgun using the Nuvee plugin. | Darkphoenixfox |
