This is due to several bizarre expectations the game has with disc drive timings and the game exploiting that fact too much for PCSX2. This seems to depend heavily on the version, however, as some users have reported softlocks while I only encountered a hang of around 10 seconds (1.6.0, NTSC-U Greatest Hits version). | ||

|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. | |||
