Game description: The Getaway follows the story of two men from opposite sides of the law, who share an obsession of bringing down London's crime supremo. You'll play Mark Hammond (an ex-bank robber on the run for murdering his wife and kidnapping his child) and Frank Carter (a vigilante cop who was suspended from the Flying Squad) in multiple storylines set in London. Within the city's winding streets, indoor environments, and dangerous street corners, you must search for the manipulative crime boss and finally clear your name.

NTSC-U/PAL	?	AMD FX-8350 AMD Radeon HD 7700	1.1.0 (r5730)	GSdx 0.1.16 (r5727)	SPU2-X 2.0.0 (r5729) LilyPad 0.11.0 (r5403)	BIOS: USA v2.30, HACKS: none, This game runs very slowly on cutscenes (which can't be skipped), however, it runs pretty well during normal gameplay, only slowing down occasionally. The PAL version has a transparent wall glitch.	EddieHimself
NTSC	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.00 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970	1.4.0	GSdx 1.0.0 SSE41	SPU2-X LilyPad 0.11.0	Perfect emulation.	pumab
NTSC-U	Windows 10 Enterprise	Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.00 GHz, 16 GB RAM GTX 770Ti w/ 2 GB VRAM	v1.5.0-dev-3403-g58f5a5b91	GSdx 1.1.0 AVX2	SPU2-X 2.0.0 LilyPad 0.12.1 (Xinput)	Massively buggy on most hardware modes, in particular all shadows and detail features disappear. Game runs perfectly bugless on Software mode, D3D11, tho performance is God awful. Low frames.	GewehrRoss1
NTSC-U	Windows 10 Enterprise	Intel Core i7-2600 @ 3.4 GHz, 32 GB DDR3-1333 RAM GT 730 w/ 2 GB VRAM	v1.6.0-	GSdx32 1.2.0 SSE2	SPU2-X 2.0.0 LilyPad 0.12.1 (Xinput)	Perfect emulation, no slowdowns or glitches of any kind. The key to resolving slowdowns is combination EE Cyclerate and EE Cycle Skipping. Lowering the cyclerate alone is not enough. Software rendering required.	Andjerikou
NTSC-U	Windows 10	AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6Ghz Geforce 1660 Super	1.7.0 (dev-1545)	GSdx	SPU2-X 2.0.0	Completed the story. EE Cyclerate set to -2 gives a huge speedup and allowed full framerate the majority of the time at 6x internal resolution. Minor framerate dips occured with smoke effects and a couple of cutscenes. A few graphical bugs remain in hardware mode: self-shadows are missing, some reflections are apparently missing, but the game looks better than it's ever looked.	CynicMimic

Known Issues

Semi-transparent wall in front of the character during driving

• Status: Active
• Type: Minor
• Description: A semi-transparent fog/haze wall appears at a distance.
• Workaround: For the NTSC-U version, go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set CRC Hack Level to Full(the default option). Alternatively and for the versions from other regions set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and Blending Unit Accuracy to at least "High". Or set renderer to any of the "Software" options.

Missing shadows and other graphics

• Status: Active
• Type: Minor
• Description: Detailed projected shadows and reflections of cars and pedestrians are missing.
• Workaround: Only works in "Software mode".
