Game description: Travel back to the year 44 BC, to a Rome that suffers from political corruption, unruliness, and violence. Venture through ancient Rome with the help of Agrippa (a soldier whose father is accused of murder), Octavius (Agrippa's best friend), and Claudia (a female gladiator). The game automatically switches between Agrippa and Octavius so you can use each character's special skills to accomplish goals. You can also participate in gladiatorial events, such as chariot racing, tournament battles, and deadly duels.

Fixed Issues

FMVs suffer from constant audio stuttering

Status: Fixed
Type: Severe
Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.

Non-Issues

Excessive blur when upscaling / interlacing ghosting

Type: Not an issue
Description: The game uses a lot of post-process vertical blur strips to simulate DoF effects in the game, and unfortunately they don't really work all that well in high resolutions, making the game unbearably blurry and with plenty of ghosting apparent due to the interlace.
Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Last tested on: v2.3.400

Missing fullscreen post-fx in Hardware mode

Type: Not an issue
Description: These post-fx are being removed due to CRC hacks as they tend to cause a bunch of issues.
Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Last tested on: v2.3.400
