|Comments=Original release, game runs at a constant 60fps, 100% speed. Both the Angela FMV in Blue Creek and meeting Maria in Rosewater Park hang without speedhacks for about ten seconds, after recovery the game appears to slow down as it tries to synchronize audio/visuals for several seconds before the FMVs can run properly for the remainder of time they have. The only way to get rid of the hanging is EE Cyclerate to -2 or set it to -1 and EE Cycle Skipping 1, theoretically, Fast CDVD should help with the issue but I haven't seen any consistent improvement from having the option enabled. You must quickly switch off the speedhacks after the FMV is finished because this will make certain sections lag uncontrollably, especially on Hard Mode with tons of monsters on screen, which may make it unplayable for some people. May still hang on other cutscenes, requires further testing. There is also the fact that the status screen goes black whenever you look at a memo or access the option menu, this is only fixed using Software Mode, but SW makes the flashlight glitch out completely. Additionally, using anything other than Bilinear (PS2) can make the pause screen move around and blur. The game is fully playable, but proper emulation is still hectic.

Sometimes sound will not sync properly, such as in the Flesh Lips cutscene, it'll play music before it has to as an example. The hanging problems stopped manifesting after I beat the game a few times to get all the endings, which suggests NG+ fixes the issue for some unknowable reason. I experienced a glitch where the moths in Woodside Apartment wouldn't show up once.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Grid obscures FMV's
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=A grid appears over videos, obscuring and darkening the image when the resolution is set to anything higher than native.
|Workaround=As of recent v1.5.0 git builds, this is resolved by default as long as "Automatic Gamefixes" is enabled. To enable the fix manually go to Config > Emulation Settings > Game Fixes tab, click "enable manual game fixes" and enable the "Switch to GSdx Software rendering when an FMV plays" fix. Alternatively go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, make sure Renderer is set to "OpenGL (Hardware), click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks, and enable the '''Unscale Point Line''' hack.
