Slowdown in SW mode during tech/ether attacks and when multiple A.G.W.S are on screen, but fullspeed in HW renderers. GameDB applies appropriate fixes/hacks automatically so there is no need for adjusting settings. Transition screens (battle animation and opening the menu in the field) do not scale with resolution and remain at native res. | |||

{{Issue | {{Issue | ||
|IssueName= | |IssueName=Smaller/aliased minimap icons in HW renderers | ||
|IsFixed=0 | |||
|IssueLevel=0 | |||
|Description=Software anti-aliasing (AA1) is not yet fully implemented in hardware, which is used for the triangle icons on the minimap. This is more obvious at native resolution. | |||
|Workaround=Use SW mode or a higher resolution multiplier. | |||
}} | |||
{{Issue | |||
|IssueName=Amplified banding in HW renderers | |||
|IsFixed=0 | |||
|IssueLevel=0 | |||
|Description=Banding is very noticeable in any of the HW renderers compared to software. | |||
|Workaround=Use SW mode. | |||

|IssueLevel=0 | |IssueLevel=0 | ||
|Description= | |Description=Many of the cutscenes have black surfaces scattered on the environment or on characters. Gameplay isn't affected. | ||
|Workaround= | |Workaround=Use Vulkan HW renderer or SW mode. | ||

{{Issue | {{Issue | ||
|IssueName= | |IssueName=Overlapping shadows | ||
|IsFixed= | |IsFixed=0 | ||
|IssueLevel=0 | |IssueLevel=0 | ||
|Description= | |Description=Instead of a single blended shadow, multiple pieces appear to overlap on the active player character's shadow | ||
|Workaround= | |Workaround=Set blending to medium in DX11/12 or use any other HW renderer. | ||
}} | }} | ||
{{Issue | {{Issue | ||
|IssueName= | |IssueName=One row of garbage pixels across top and left side | ||
|IsFixed=0 | |IsFixed=0 | ||
|IssueLevel=0 | |IssueLevel=0 | ||
|Description= | |Description=During cutscenes and some gameplay you may notice one row of garbage pixels across the top of the screen or along the left side. | ||
|Workaround= | |Workaround=Zoom the screen in using CTRL + "Numpad +". You can reverse this with CTRL + "Numpad -". Alternatively use cropping feature in 1.7 QT. | ||

|IssueName= | |IssueName=Corruption/garbage on save icons | ||

==Fixed Issues== | |||
{{Issue | |||
|IssueName=Ghosted frame after loading screens and FMVs | |||
|IsFixed=1 | |||
|IssueLevel=0 | |||
|Description=A single frame from before a loading screen starts or the last position an FMV ends on remains on screen for a short duration when resuming gameplay, known to be a regression, only affects HW renderers. | |||
|Workaround=Use SW mode (issue resolved and closed). | |||
|GithubID=6625 | |||
}} | |||
{{Issue | |||
|IssueName=Shadow puppet lines | |||
|IsFixed=1 | |||
|IssueLevel=0 | |||
|Description=Controlled character's shadow will have "puppet lines" in both OpenGL/D3D11 | |||
|Workaround=Go to Config > Graphics settings > Hacks, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Upscale Hacks and set Half-Pixel Offset to Special (Texture). Alternatively set Skipdraw to "1" to remove shadows. HPO is set automatically by the Game Database in 1.7 when upscaling. | |||
}} | |||
{{Issue | |||
|IssueName=Characters sometimes have no shadows in cutscenes | |||
|IsFixed=1 | |||
|IssueLevel=0 | |||
|Description=Characters don't have detailed shadows in cutscenes, only the simpler ones that are just circles. | |||
|Workaround=Config > Graphics settings > Hacks > Enable HW Hacks and enable Auto Flush. Auto Flush is automatically enabled by the Game Database in 1.7. | |||
}} | |||
{{Issue | |||
|IssueName=Flashbacks render as completely black with D3D11 (Hardware) | |||
|IsFixed=1 | |||
|IssueLevel=0 | |||
|Description=Cutscenes involving flashbacks with a black and white filter instead render as a completely solid black box. Gameplay isn't affected. | |||
|Workaround=Use the OpenGL renderer instead of Direct3D11. Fixed in 1.7, DX11/12 renderers are usable. | |||
}} | |||
{{Issue | |||
|IssueName=Saving at specific save points may crash the game | |||
|IsFixed=1 | |||
|IssueLevel=1 | |||
|Description=Some save crystals will crash the game. List of definitely affected savespots: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/519264-xenosaga-episode-i-der-wille-zur-macht/62218540 | |||
|Workaround=No longer an issue on 1.7.0-dev-115 and newer. For older versions, [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Post-your-PCSX2-cheats-patches-here?pid=603236#pid603236 A patch has been made to prevent crashes at all save points]. Alternatively, create save states before interacting with save points. If a save point crashes the game, load the save state to resume the game, and avoid saving at that save point. | |||
}} | |||
{{Issue | |||
|IssueName=Missing text | |||
|IsFixed=1 | |||
|IssueLevel=0 | |||
|Description= Text will be faded (or completely missing) in Hardware mode. | |||
|Workaround=No longer an issue as of at least v1.5.0-dev-3264-gd77d440a0. If present on older revisions, go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options. | |||
}} | |||
==Non-Issues== | |||
{{Issue | |||
