Game description: In the third chapter of the .hack saga, The World continues to deteriorate as the virus spreads out of control. Not only is the outbreak affecting The World in the game, but now repercussions are being felt in the real world too. As the outlaw player, Kite, you must fight through contaminated cyberspace as you take on and eliminate enemies, while unlocking codes to gate hack to even more environments. Will you ever find out who or what is behind this nightmare to wake Orca from his coma?

Known Issues

Random crashes

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Major
  • Description: The game randomly crashes after playing for a while.
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Emulation Settings > VUs, and make sure VU0 and VU1 are both set to "MicroVU Recompiler", this is the default setting.

Broken shadows

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Shadows are either missing or appear as a big garbage texture on the ground.
  • Workaround: This can be fixed in recent PCSX2 versions. Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)". Make sure either "Hardware Depth" is enabled or that the "Disable Depth emulation" hardware hack is disabled(depending on the PCSX2 version). Alternatively set Render to any of the "(Software)" options.
