|Description=The in-game HUD, inventory screen, and some menu options have various extra pixels and black lines, generally around the edges. Some are even apparent in software mode. They get worse if texture filtering is fully checked.
|Description = The in-game HUD, inventory screen, and text have various extra pixels and black lines, around the edges, it is even apparent in Software mode. Effects worsen if Texture Filtering is set to "Forced".
|Workaround=Using the WildArmsOffset hardware hack half-option fixes most of these but causes the surface of water to stutter and jump around and loading bars to mess up.
|Workaround = Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks, and set Round Sprite to "Half".
