Known Issues:

SPS (Spikey Polygon Syndrome)

Depending on the camera some polygons cover the whole screen.

  • Solution: Set VUs Clamping mode to "None" and use DX10 mode for correct graphics in hardware mode.

Shadows and Darkness Issues

Shadows show incorrectly or just cause darkness issues.

  • Solution: Only software mode in GSdx (F9) shows them right. The darkness issues they cause with hardware mode are fixed since GSdx r4600.
