The game is extremely GPU intensive, If having low FPS, try running in native resolution mode, scaling also creates tiling in the GUI and purple haze around GUI objects. DX10 mode fixes some UI problems such as the map and the levels introduction text.

|Description=Sometimes after loading a save state the game will no longer detect a memory card, switching or reloading memory cards does not solve the issue.
|Workaround=Don't use save states (Solution=This only happens when you use the Folder Memory Card option in PCSX2. Switching to a normal memory card and using save states is working as it should).
|Workaround=This only happens when using a Folder memory card. Copy the saves to a normal memory card and use that, convert the folder memory card to a standard memory card(go to Config -> Memory Card, click on the folder memory card, and then click on Convert), or avoid using save states while playing the game.
