v1.7.3055 Vulkan HW + SW cubeb Problematic 3D Models fixed but if "Instant VU1" used then expect this graphical problem again ("Instant VU1" with "EE Timing Hack" partially fixes). Additionally "Cycle Skip +2 and +3" causes flickering. Other than that use devs "recommended" settings for GS HW + SW. If you need extra emulation speed & performance you could use "Cycle Rate" hack. Menu bottom corner issue fix: "Screen Offsets: On", FMV flickering fix: Conservative Buffer Allocation: Off" or "Change renderer to software" Ahayri

v1.7.4268 Auto *Vulkan HW cubeb You dont need to turn on "Screen Offsets" anymore, you can use recommended settings but "Instant VU1" problem is still there, you need to turn off "Instant VU1" from "Rocky: Legends -> Game Settings" for this game because otherwise character models not rendering correctly (specially "neck" area). On top of that there is a regression for this game not long ago, some of the textures goes completely "black" and not rendering correctly when using auto renderer option (hardware renderer).
