|Comments=Vertex stretching seems to happen for Ratchet, Clank, and enemies frequently in Holostar Studios, and once in Clank's section of Aquatos. In Aquatos, restarting fixed the bug, but not in Holostar Studios. Like in R&C2, it doesn't affect gameplay, but is still pretty noticeable. Full VU0 synchronisation fixed this, but increased EE usage to the point where it caused some lag, so I had it off most of the time. Aside from this, the game lagged a lot during the ranger missions in Kerwan, which seemed odd as there was no obvious bottleneck (EE, GS, VU, and GPU were all well below 100%). GS usage approached 100% during the final boss, but it never dropped noticeably from full speed. Text is distorted, but bloom is fine. Fully playable. | |Comments=Vertex stretching seems to happen for Ratchet, Clank, and enemies frequently in Holostar Studios, and once in Clank's section of Aquatos.

|Comments= Full V0 Synchronization resolves most of the Vertex stretching issues and without it 180% EE Overclock is not stable. With 180%EE the game can hold a locked internal 60FPS most of the time, 130% is also a major improvement, though drops still happen regularly with 130%. The fixes required to make Aquatos playable and fix bloom mess up UI text a little, this seems to be the only notable issue with this configuration. Performance is very solid, unlocked FPS range from 180-260. | |||

Game ran smooth as butter throughout, few occasional slowdowns during times with high particle count such as big fights with an explosive weapon but those were usually due to intensive background programs or accidently not having the emulator as the main window. | |||
Listed fix for bloom misalignment didn't work for me with 8x render resolution. I instead used Half Pixel Offset: Normal (Vertex) and it worked far better with some very very faint misalignment if you squinted from far away. Coincidentally I believe this is a better fix overall for the bloom issues than the listed fix because it doesn't mess with the text but I guess more people will need to try it. | |||
No Issues with Widescreen Patch besides faint issues on the edges and it works all the way through the game. | |||
180% EE Overclock consistently crashed the Emulator every time I tried it, I didn't need it anyway but I think it's worth brining up | |||
Final Verdict: This game runs f**king amazing now on the newer nightlies, far better than 2 years ago. 100% Recommend attempting to emulate it now, I imagine even 7 year old hardware can take so much advantage out of the new upgrades to PCSX2. | |||

|Description= | |Description=In the Aquatos level, pausing the game, bringing up the map or using a weapon vendor results in all non-transparent textures disappearing. If another planet (level) is visited afterwards, several textures on the player character are still missing. The problem appears only on Hardware renderers which support Depth Emulation, which at the time of writing is only OpenGL Hardware. It is possible to complete the level if the pause menu, map or weapon vendors are not used. | ||

Then, head to Graphics > enable Manual Hardware Renderer Fixes. Go to the Hardware Fixes tab and check 'Disable Partial Invalidation'. You can disable it afterwards if it's too much on your CPU, it is only required for this level. | ||

This does increase EE usage, but is unlikely to affect performance on most recent midrange or higher systems." | ||
