Known Issues

GSdx Grey/White Fog Patches

• Status: Active
• Type: Minor
• Description: There's patches of either white fog (DX10) or grey fog (DX9) in some areas.
• Workaround: 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)

• Type: Note (not an issue)
• Description: May show some SPS from time to time.
• Workaround: Use only microVU and don't change the clamps from "Normal".
