Known Issues
Hangs after loading from memcard
- Status: Active
- Type: Serious
- Affected Game Versions: All
- Description: Hangs after loading from memcard
- Workaround: After saving to memcard NEVER load from old states (F3), consider all quick states invalid you can only save them anew!
Minor GFX glitches
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Affected Game Versions: All
- Description: There are some minor GFX glitches in GSdx as of r1888. Sun shines through the walls, the skies can be broken from time to time.
- Workaround: Native resolution
Freezing on certain versions
- Status: Active
- Type: Major
- Affected Game Versions: All
- Description: Note also that you cannot play smoothly in many other versions before 985 (they'll be freezing) and after 985 (up until 1888) as there will be some crashing issues.
- Workaround: Use r985 to play until another good version is found
Frozen world
- Status: Active
- Type: Major
- Affected Game Versions: All
- Description: Sometimes the world can stuck preventing from performing any action (cannot change a weapon, enemies will not move and cannot be killed)
- Workaround: You have to save often (F1) and change quick slots often (F2) as the only way to resolve this is to load.
spu2PeopsSound
- Type: Note (not an issue)
- Affected Game Versions: All
- Description: if you can't get near 100% game speed, spu2-x syncs sound better but stutters/loops a bit
