|Comments=BIOS: USA 2.00. Played at full speed. Opaque background to menus, but it's worth it to stay in hardware mode. OpenGL and Direct3D 11 had similar performance, with OpenGL performing slightly better. Anisotropic Filtering is optional. For the Riglar bolt-trick, use turbo mode, lock input, and lower GSdx settings.

|Comments=Game is very demanding. Occasionally slows down with EE Cyclerate 0, but setting to -1 activates the game's internal frameskipping and makes it run a little smoother in most sections. Solid background menus are fine, since other than that and some minor lighting glitches, the game looks great.

|Comments= I just beat this game with zero game breaking issues. There were some very minor flickering textures and weird texture perspective warping (not sure if that's the game or PCSX2) but other than that it ran great with Vulkan renderer, EE Cycle Rate set to 180%, and MTVU enabled.

|Comments=Played the game on standard settings upscaled to 1080p. Game runs terrible on 1.6.0 but almost perfectly on latest nightly. Some cutscenes randomly lag and on planet Batalia/ fort krontos the game speed keeps moving between 85% and 100% probably because of all the rain on screen.

|Comments=Menu backgrounds (pause screen and credits) just show mostly solid colours, and the backgrounds in the credits are cut off (the bottom half of the screen is black). There were a handful of instances of lag in Nebula G34, Rilgar, and Pokitaru, but these were so brief and infrequent that they may well have just been one-offs or microstutter, otherwise full speed. Fully playable.

The game runs smooth with almost no problems (with some light lag which is almost not noticeable). I was able to complete the whole game without any issues.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Glitched menu backgrounds

|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=-1
|Description=Most menu backgrounds are glitched in GSdx hardware modes.
|Description=R&C's framerate may dip when many (small) enemies or allies are in view. This occurs on original hardware.
|Workaround=Use software mode, or ignore it (gameplay is not affected).
|Workaround=First verify that your device is not the bottleneck if you experience framerate dips. If your device is too slow and you attempt the following fix, you will make the problem worse. Try to overclock the EE Cycle Rate under Settings > Emulation. 130% fixes almost all slowdowns in exchange for a higher GPU and CPU utilization. Higher values than 130% lead to certain instabilities.

|IsFixed=1
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=1
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Garbage textures until you stand close to objects due to GSdx not supporting mipmapping in hardware mode.
|Description=Most menu backgrounds (pause screen and credits) are glitched in hardware modes.
|Workaround=This can be resolved with the latest v1.5.0 git builds. Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Mipmapping to "Basic". Or switch to Software Mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options. Note: To minimize the potential performance impact of Software Mode, set Rendering Threads to one less than the number of available CPU cores.
|Workaround=Fixed on latest Nightly build (Tested on v1.7.4721). If you use 1.6 or older: Use software mode, or ignore it (gameplay is not affected).

{{Issue
|IssueName=Crash on MTVU + Disabled Framelimiter
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=The game may crash when loading into a new planet if MTVU is enabled and the framelimiter is disabled. Seems to scale with the power of the host CPU; the stronger the CPU, the faster the game will run, and the faster the game will run, the more likely it is to encounter the hang condition.
|Workaround=Fixed on latest Nightly build (Tested on v1.7.4721). If you are, instead, using 1.6 or older: Do not disable the framelimiter while loading a new planet. Or, simply reboot the game after the crash (the game autosaves when changing planets, before the crash condition is reached, so no progress will actually be lost).
