Known Issues

Dull Graphics

Status: Active
Type: Serious
Description: This game look normal only in ZZogl, no GSDX and ZeroGS versions, but ZZogl is slow on this game. GSdx has improved the game but not quite close to it yet.
Workaround: Use No targets CLUT + full 16 bit res in ZZogl (r186) for it.

No post-processing effects

Status: Active
Type: Serious
Description: Adding a more precise description to the above mentioned "Dull Graphics". This is because there are no post-processing effects present in GSdx hardware mode. (Disabled in the plugin, because of rendering errors and slowdowns) Because of the heavy use of these effects, the gaming experience is not as good as it is originally intended. Also some night levels are more darker because of the lack of post processing. Plus no shadows on the characters.
Workaround: Switch to software mode. This enables all effects. Some minor glitches with the shadows though. Beware that this mode is CPU heavy! Around 70% with Intel i5 @3.3 GHz But plays fine with max. FPS.
