BIOS: USA v02.30, Preset: 3 (Balanced), widescreen patch enabled. Goes ingame and runs perfectly stable at full speed. The widescreen patch cuts off the subtitles during FMV cutscenes. It seems like you don't have to manually set mipmapping to "Basic" (see Known Issues below) anymore, I left it on "Auto" and didn't encounter any glitches. I have played the first hour of the game and didn't run into any issues. See my video here. | TomBoss |
