Known Issues
Hardware mode
- Type: Note (not an issue)
- Description: The game is very GPU-intensive in Hardware mode outside of battles. Additionally, enabling Texture Filtering will lead to visible graphical glitches.
- Workaround: Use Software mode OR GSdx Hardware mode DirectX 9 (much faster than 10/11 for this game).
However, it is safe to switch to Hardware mode during battles. This will avoid slowdowns on weaker CPUs.
Invisible characters
- Type: Note (not an issue)
- Description: In various environments, characters seem to be invisible.
- Workaround: Set EE/FPU clamping mode to Full.
This change requires a scene change to take effect and will not make already invisible characters visible immediately.
