'''Problem:''' Raising the internal resolution causes certain textures to become misaligned. This largely consists of the bloom on Shadow Creatures, Pigeons, Wander's Sword, and Mono's Dress to be placed to the upper-left of their proper position. | *'''Problem:''' Raising the internal resolution causes certain textures to become misaligned.

'''Solution 1:''' Open up the GSdx plugin settings and search through the configurations until you find the "Half-Pixel Offset" hack. Enabling this hack will re-align the texture. | *'''Solution 1:''' Open up the GSdx plugin settings and search through the configurations until you find the "Half-Pixel Offset" hack.

'''Problem:''' Scenes within the Shrine of Worship can't be emulated at full speed, and as a result, the audio/video during the ending cutscenes (which mostly take place within the Shrine) become unsynchronized due to the video's inability to keep up with the audio. | *'''Problem:''' Scenes within the Shrine of Worship can't be emulated at full speed, and as a result, the audio/video during the ending cutscenes (which mostly take place within the Shrine) become unsynchronized due to the video's inability to keep up with the audio. | ||
'''Solution:''' The CPU speed needs to be at least 3.5 GHz (Intel and AMD Phenom II) or 4 GHz (AMD FX) and VU Cycle stealing must be set appropriately so that the cutscenes can be rendered at full speed, that way they'll keep up with the audio. | *'''Solution:''' The CPU speed needs to be at least 3.5 GHz (Intel and AMD Phenom II) or 4 GHz (AMD FX) and VU Cycle stealing must be set appropriately so that the cutscenes can be rendered at full speed, that way they'll keep up with the audio. | ||
'''Comment:''' This problem only occurs if your CPU is not fast/efficient enough to run the scenes at full speed, even with VU Cycle Stealing set appropriately. It may also occur due to errors on the game Disc/ISO itself, but this is unconfirmed. | *'''Comment:''' This problem only occurs if your CPU is not fast/efficient enough to run the scenes at full speed, even with VU Cycle Stealing set appropriately.
