1.5.0-20160607001448 | ? | ? | While technically playable, the game lags so heavily that it is nearly impossible to get past even the tutorial, let alone beat the game. | kylikeit |

v1.5.0-dev-2002-gc115a4c | GSdx OpenGL | SPU2-X XAudio2 | Upon testing on a more modern system, I have found that it does run at normal speed, but there is a glitch in the Meridell Arena which cause Tormund to flail wildly while stuck floating in mid-air upon being hit by an Ixi Chieftain, which as far as I know does not occur on real hardware. Also, even with V-sync enabled, there are still massive issues with tearing. | kylikeit |

v1.6.0 | GSdx Direct3D 11 | SPU2-X XAudio2 | Set EE/FPU Round Mode to Negative. Played for a total of about 3 hours at fullspeed. The glitch below is the only noticeable issue. Otherwise, prerendered cutscenes run choppy but that could just be how they're encoded. | PCSX2WikiEditor |
