==Fixed Issues==
{{Issue
|IssueName=Persistent sound effect loop
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Oftentimes, after ending a mission, a sound effect will persist and keep looping forever.
|Workaround= #3959 fixed it.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Misaligned video during FMVs
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=-1
|Description=The game has a different TC buffer setup for FMVs, resulting in the video being slightly off-center in hardware mode while upscaling (with rainbow lines in the empty space on the bottom right). This only happens while upscaling.
|Workaround= On game properties (after launching the game), go to display and crop the bottom, right and top and left of the screen by 1 pixel, should remove any visible garbage.

{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Persistent sound effect loop
|IssueName=HUD/Text lines
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Running on Hardware renderer causes artifacts in various HUD elements and UI text.
|Workaround= Use Software renderer. Issue report is [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/2393 here]

{{Issue
|IssueName=Garbage texture instead of animated texture
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Oftentimes, after ending a mission, a sound effect will persist and keep looping forever.
|Description=The corridor right after the final enemy of the game is supposed to have an energy wave running along the walls effect, but in PCSX2, broken texture appears instead.
|Workaround= download [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/files/3052974/spu2.AM2.zip this file]. Put this ini file in the inis folder (replace the old one).
|Workaround= No workarounds. Issue report is [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/2399 here].

{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=HUD/Text lines
|IssueName=Floating/misplaced shadows
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Running in resolutions higher than native will result in lines in various HUD elements and UI text.
|Description=Shadows often are misplaced or appear wrong, especially at moving near some pieces of geometry in a few area. They even float above your AC standing directly below a piece of geometry can sometimes lead to your shadow being projected above your AC instead of below.
|Workaround= (Partial Fix) Enable Manual Hardware Rendering Fixes then set Round Sprite to Half in Upscaling Fixes. This will fix many horizontal offset issues leaving just combat HUD and minor vertical offset issues. You can attempt to tweak further with Texture Offsets but be warned not everything lines up at the same values and you may introduce other issues instead.
|Workaround= No workarounds. Issue report is [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/2400 here].

{{Issue
|IssueName=Upscaled HUD sprites have artifact lines in hardware mode
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=The game sprites do not take well to being upscaled, and will produce artifacts such as blurry HUD text and stray lines.
|Workaround= You can alleviate this by enabling manual hardware fixes, going into the Upscale Fixes tab, and setting Round Sprite to half, and checking Align Sprite and Merge Sprite (hasn't been tested in full playthrough). Messing with the settings here might produce better results. You can adjust the offset of the textures to remove any HUD artifacts (x400y0 is a good starting point -- a comparison gallery of various values is [https://imgur.com/a/PwzqnnH here]), but be warned that as of 1.7.5553 it'll still produce misalignment artifacts elsewhere. This problem's a matter of removing the more glaring artifacts as a compromise. This problem also persists in the sequel, [[Armored Core 2: Another Age|AC2: Another Age]].
