Build 5732 | GSdx32-AVX r5732 |

FPS 30-50. With the Daily Build 5732 Baldurs Gate is Playing Videos with Software Renderer well. U Can go ingame and play, sometimes freezes that causes pcsx apphang. Heavy Graphic Glitches with black blocks flickering around. | Xeo |
NTSC-U | Windows |
|
1.1.0 r5517 | GSdx 5464 SSE41 |
|
Status goes from ingame to playable. Runs at a decent speed., Gsdx must be in software mode and 4GB patch must be used or game will crash. | |
NTSC-U | Windows |
|
1.2.1 | GSDX |
|
Can confirm that it works, however experiencing some slowdowns in certain areas where the fps randomly drops down to 15 - 25 before jumping back up to 60fps. What causes this apears to be the flames effects in the game, wherever you find torches, fireplaces. | |

1.5.0-20160720115610 (git) Jul 20 2016 | GSdx 1.1.0-20160720115610 (MSVC 19.00, AVX) |

Played for one hour. Runs at full speed in OpenGL hardware mode (2x native IR) with the new "Fast Texture Invalidation" hardware hack enabled (average GS load is 50-70%). Occasional frame rate jitter that is largely eliminated by using native IR. | Flang |

Known Issues
Corrupted FMVs
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Pre-rendered videos (such as the opening logos) are corrupted in hardware mode (PCSX2 1.5.0-20160720115610).
- Workaround: You can try enabling manual game fixes in the emulation settings, and check "Switch to GSdx software rendering when an FMV plays." However, PCSX2 seems to have trouble detecting when an FMV has stopped playing, so it will likely stay in software mode even during gameplay.
Visible lines when upscaling
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Vertical and horizontal lines appear in menus and text boxes when using 2x or higher internal resolution.
- Workaround: Use native IR or software mode.
