Known Issues
Hardware mode
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: The game is very GPU-intensive in Hardware mode outside of battles. Additionally, enabling Texture Filtering will lead to visible graphical glitches.
- Workaround: This issue is no longer present in the latest version of PCSX2 and is retained for archival purposes. If you are using an outdated version and do not wish to upgrade: Use Software mode OR GSdx Hardware mode DirectX 9 (much faster than 10/11 for this game).
However, it is safe to switch to Hardware mode during battles. This will avoid slowdowns on weaker CPUs.
Invisible characters
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: In various environments, characters seem to be invisible.
- Workaround: This issue is no longer present in the latest version of PCSX2 and is retained for archival purposes. If you are using an outdated version and do not wish to upgrade: Set EE/FPU clamping mode to Full.
This change requires a scene change to take effect and will not make already invisible characters visible immediately.
