Known Issues

Crash in 3D scenes

• Status: Fixed
• Type: Major
• Description: The game crashes in scenes with 3D elements.
• Workaround: Has been fixed as of 0.9.9 r4622 development build. Go to Config > Emulation Settings > VUs tab, and make sure VU0 is set to the default microVU. Setting it to the legacy SuperVU recompiler can cause character bodies to twitch.
