Game description: Help your Sims survive and thrive on an uncharted island and build a life from scratch after washing ashore on a deserted tropical island. Overcome the forces of nature to help them become the ultimate survivors and thrive in this undiscovered paradise while unearthing clues that will lead them back to civilization. Build shelters, craft unique items, and discover many useful treasures and ancient mysteries hidden deep within a diverse jungle environment filled with plants, fruits, and even wildlife.
Test configurations on Windows:

NTSC-U | Windows |

1.1.0 r5517 | GSdx r5464 |
|
Runs above full speed. | |
PAL | Windows |
|
1.4.0 | GSdx r5464 |
|
Use OpenGL (Hardware) mode to remove menu sprite glitches. Under Configure Hacks check Half-pixel Offset to remove the lines between textures when using a larger than native resolution. | a_potato_is_missing |
NTSC-U | Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (SP1) |
|
1.5.0-dev-411-g7b8616a
|
GSdx 1.0.0 AVX2
|
|
BIOS: USA 2.30, Runs ok, has minor issues with textures as mentioned in 'Known Issues' section of this page. I did experience some slowdowns in the Jungle area. This was particularly the case while using the OpenGL (Hardware) renderer, but this is mostly due to the bad drivers that AMD releases for OpenGL. Other than that it was running at full speed. | Ryudo |
PAL | Windows |
|
1.5.0 | GSdx 1.1.0 AVX2

When you'll fix problems with textures and menu items (Known Issues) game will run perfectly. | |
NTSC-U | Windows 10 x64 |

Playing on a Low end notebook. Menus, Cut-Scenes and Gameplay in general are capped at 60 FPs. NO glitches are found if the recommendations are followed.
•NOTE• ••V.1.7. 138•• All the instructions are for performance ONLY. the graphics are still good, but a bit blocky /pixelated. If you want better graphics + performance just change the texture filtering to PS2 and check if FXAA checkbox is checked in shader options. More than that will be increasing the resolution to something else and this surely will cause fps drops if your notebook/pc's cpu isn't that good like mine. |

NTSC-U | Windows 10 |

1.6.0 | GSdx 1.1.0 AVX2

|
Saving the game causes a severe drop in FPS and takes approximately 1 minute to save. "Deep Jungle" area causes a severe FPS Drop (Down to 33-40 FPS). | Pliskin |
NTSC-U | Windows 11 Pro |
|
1.6.0 | GSdx 1.1.0 AVX2
|
|
"Deep Jungle" area causes a severe FPS Drop (Down to 33-40 FPS) on any setting above 4x Native. Half Pixel Offset is needed to avoid lines between textures. Will test game more and post updates here. | Pliskin |

Known Issues
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Some user interface items are missing or broken.
- Workaround: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and set the Blending Unity Accuracy to "Basic" or higher. Or switch to Software mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.
Black ground and broken shadows
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: If you move areas it will break the lightning effects.
- Workaround: Go to Config > Video (GS), turn on "Large Framebuffer" > Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and enable "Half-pixel Offset (normal vertex). "Alternatively set Internal Resolution to "Native", or switch to Software mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.
Deep jungle fps drop
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: fps drop when you enter deep jungle areas
- Workaround: Emulation Settings => speedHacks => EE cyclereate = -2 and EE cycle skipping = 1
Non-Issues
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: Many textures and menu items are surrounded by gaps or lines when upscaling. (Causes black ground and broken shadows issue)
- Workaround: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and enable "Half-pixel Offset". Alternatively set Internal Resolution to "Native", or switch to Software mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.
