Known Issues

Dull Graphics & no post-processing effects

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: The graphics look very bland; some night levels are darker than normal because of the lack of post processing. And characters lack shadows.
  • Workaround: This can be resolved in recent v1.5.0 git builds by going to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, setting Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and CRC Hack Level to "Partial". For older versions switch to Software mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.

Mirror glitch

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: In Hardware mode parts of mirrors are glitched out and appear in various colors.
  • Workaround: Temporarily switch to Software mode by pressing the F9 key, or go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.

Halo effect surround characters

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: In Hardware mode characters have a halo like effect surrounding them
  • Workaround: In video plugin settings click Enable HW Hacks-> Click Advanced Settings and Hacks-> set Texture Offsets X: 500 and Y: 500
