Known Issues

Untextured sky/no light rings

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Sky is either untextured or renders without light rings.
  • Workaround: Switch to software mode using F9 before loading a race, and once loading has finished, switch back to Hardware mode by pressing F9 again.

Glitched reflections and textures

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Certain reflections and textures do not load correctly.
  • Workaround: Use System -> Boot CDVD (fast) instead of System -> Boot CDVD (full).

Dulled Surfaces

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: In Hardware mode, shiny surfaces e.g. car bodies are duller than they should be.
  • Workaround: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and set Blending Unit Accuracy to at least "High". Or set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.

Street directions are visible further than they should in Hardware mode at higher resolutions

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Some street directions, like the red crosses sprites that tell you a street is closed, or the yellow arrows that tell you turn, appear before they should in Hardware mode at higher resolutions because the game uses mipmaps to gradually make them appear as you get close to them, but higher resolutions use higher quality versions of the texture, making them opaque earlier.
  • Workaround: Set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.

Blur is not as intensive in Hardware mode

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Workaround: Set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.

Image is slightly brighter in Hardware mode

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Most of the times when in-game (not in a menu), the Hardware render will be darker than the Software one, likely due to post processing.
  • Workaround: Set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.

Fixed Issues

Vertical bars in multiplayer

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: In multiplayer, bars of white obscure much of both split screens.
  • Workaround: Fixed in PCSX2 1.5.0 dev builds, keep crc hack level on Automatic. For older builds go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and set Skipdraw to 3. Or set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.

Grey Lines Within Text

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Nearly all text has dark grey lines running inside each character.
  • Workaround: This has been fixed in recent v1.5.0 git builds. For older versions set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.
