Fixed Issues

Grid obscures FMV's

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: A grid appears over videos, obscuring and darkening the image when the resolution is set to anything higher than native.
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks, and enable the "Unscale Point Line" hack. Or go to Config > Emulation Settings > Game Fixes tab, turn on "Enable manual game fixes" and enable the "Switch to GSdx Software rendering when an FMV plays" fix.

Water drops framerate

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: The game drops framerate in 2x resolution or more due to water textures.
  • Workaround: Fixed, likely due to optimizations in the hardware renderer and technology in general becoming faster. If this is still an issue for you: in game, press F9 to go to Software mode and play that level, press it again when you finish to go back to Hardware mode.

Mipmapping issues in Hardware Mode

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Broken textures at a distance.
  • Workaround: Fixed via the GameDB. If on an older version of PCSX2, go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set mipmapping to at least "Basic".
