|IssueLevel=1
|IssueLevel=-1
|Description=A grid appears over videos, obscuring and darkening the image when the resolution is set to anything higher than native.
|AffectedVersions=All
|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.  
|Description=Textures are missing in some locations with the widescreen patch enabled
|Workaround=Disable '''Widescreen patches'''.

|Description=At certain cutscenes (usually Angela's cutscene in the apartments and Maria's first cutscene) the the game will softlock preventing forward progress. 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).
|Workaround=Just setting EE Cyclerate to -2 or EE Cyclerate to -1 along with EE Cycle Skipping 1 seems to allow most cutscenes to progress. Fast CDVD may also help.

'''Note for 1.6 and below:''' Enable "Switch to GSdx software rendering when an FMV plays" under Manual Gamefixes.

|IssueName=Glitchy status screen
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|AffectedVersions=NTSC
|Description=When entering the gameplay menu (Start) and examining an item, the status screen will disappear when returning to the menu. Loading a savestate saved in the menu will cause the status screen to show multicoloured garbage.
|Workaround=Unknown, switching to software mode with F9 might help, but this causes other more major issues (see above).
