Playable, but a bit on the slow side because of heavy image filtering., Native res is fast & looks good, but some filtering bugs (border halos) on higher res... | |

The game plays fine so far. If you use anything higher than native resolution or enable MSAA lines start to appear off to the side and get worse the higher you set those options. Enabling EE stealing provides a nice boost but I noticed the voice dialogue skips occasionally, this could just be a fluke on my end though. Enabling 8-Bit textures also provides a small boost if your GPU can handle it. | CrazySteve88 |

Known Issues
Half pixel offset problems
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: Half pixel offset causes some weird shadow problems to creep in after a while, at least on rev 5423. PCSX2 says an "Impossible blend for D3D" occurred. Happens on DX9 and DX11. I also found I need to disable Alpha Correction (FBA) or else I get black backgrounds on some ghosts.
- Workaround: Do not use half pixel offset
