Trivia

Known Issues

Misaligned text and vertical lines in menus

• Status: Active
• Type: Minor
• Description: The game renders menus in a funky way consisting of stripes, and their alignment horizontally isn't great, with visible cutoffs/overlaps on any text and sprites rendered.
• Workaround: You can improve the situation considerably by setting the Texture Offsets to X:500 and Y:500. Causes negligible misalignment of the health/musou bars, easily ignored.

Flickering FMVs

• Status: Fixed
• Type: Minor
• Description: All FMVs flicker.
• Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
