Game description: It's been 20 years since the earth government and the corporations battled for supremacy. A new and mysterious entity has entered the picture, however, snapping up all the available Ravens for intense missions that only their custom-built Armored Core units can handle. As a Raven, take on 50 solo missions using revamped weapons, upgrades, and the all-new drop feature, which allows you to pick up and drop weapons in your environment. You can also pit your custom-designed ACs against your friends in two-on-two-battles.

Known Issues

Vertical lines

  • Type: Note (not an issue)
  • Description: Vertical lines of varying color in some text and menus at resolutions higher than native, most notable in the assembly menu when observing parts.
  • Workaround: At Internal resolutions of 2x, 4x, and 6x a TC Offset of X: 0337, Y: 0201 will clear up most. (MSAA makes it nearly impossible to fix)

The gallery

GSDX Settings

  • Interlacing: Bob ttf seems to work the best.
  • Internal Resolution Sticking to doubles prevents shaking/offset glitches.
