Known Issues

Heavy crashing

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Major
  • Description: Crashes pretty often. This happens because of spikes in VRam use.
  • Workaround:
  1. In recent PCSX2 GIT revisions as of May 7th, 2016, VRAM spikes have been greatly reduced. Go To Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings and disable "Large Framebuffer" to reduce the spikes even further.
  2. If you get lots of crashes during license tests use a lower internal resolution in GSdx.
  3. Multisample anti-aliasing(MSAA) can cause the game to crash a lot. Make sure the MSAA level is set to 0 in the GSdx Configure Hacks menu(only applies to Direct3D HW renderers).
  4. In Windows XP, even in native resolution, you may get instant crashes when starting races if you do not have enough VRAM. Using a custom resolution lower than 512x512 seems to help.
