There is a graphics clipping problem that enables you to see characters and objects through solid matter, but you can switch to software mode F9 and the game will be normal again. FPS: 55-60 FPS most of the time even in software mode.	Dhillel

It's playable with slowdowns when there are several monsters in the screen or visual effects such as fire or fog. Speedhacks: Both EE cyclerate and VU cycle stealing must be set on 2 because otherwise the audio/video of the cutscenes will be out of sync. INTC spin detection, wait loop detection and mVU flag hacks must be enabled. You still can see through the walls in several places like it happens with Onimusha: Warlords.	Felipe

Fixed Issues

Objects thru walls

• Status: Fixed
• Type: Minor
• Description: There is a graphics clipping problem that enables you to see characters and objects through solid matter using DX9/DX11 HW
• Workaround: Use software mode or OGL HW with Hardware Depth enabled (for the clipping) & Blending Unit Accuracy at high (for the missing shadows).

Note: Keep in mind that OGL has worse performance for AMD GPU users. It runs a lot faster on NVIDIA cards because OGL is just better supported there for the time being.
