Known Issues:
GSdx Grey/White Fog Patches
There's patches of either white fog (DX10) or grey fog (DX9) in some areas.
- Solution: Only Software mode (F9) works perfectly in GSdx, doesn't bother much in GSdx DX10 but could make the game unplayable in DX9. Someone comments ZeroGS/ZZOGL may work better.
SPS (Spikey Polygon Syndrome)
May show some SPS from time to time.
- Solution: Use only microVU and don't change the clamps from "Normal".
