|Comments=ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO, Minor issues with shadows while playing which can be fixed by either using OpenGL Hardware Renderer or software mode if OGL's performance is bad for AMD graphic card users.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Black FMVs
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=FMVs are not shown in hardware mode when the game is running at 60hz(all NTSC versions, optional in PAL).
|Workaround=1.7 versions (partial workaround): Place [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pKBtRjGOxtJCxFHAuVi0fqGIjEiJVmdY/view this Silent Hill 3 .pnach file] to "cheats" folder and enable it in PCSX2 options (System > Game Settings > Enable Cheats). This .pnach file was edited to include FMV fix only. As far as I know, it's a partial fix, so FMV videos can still break and not show anything (opening video worked for me, but credits did not). Additionally, you can check out [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-No-interlacing-codes?pid=619111#pid619111 original .pnach file] that includes different options for Silent Hill 3, you can open it with text editor and comment out (with "//" prefix) options you don't want.
* '''Note:''' In later 1.5 and 1.6 revisions, this is automatically fixed as long as System > Automatic Gamefixes is enabled. For older versions 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. However, this hack was removed in 1.7.
* '''Note:''' In earlier PCSX2 v1.5.0 git builds and older versions, FMVs will flicker even in Software mode.

|IssueName=Misaligned shadows
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Shadows appear in front of an object instead of behind it in hardware mode.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Setttings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)", and enable Hardware Depth(or in recent v1.5.0 git builds make sure the "Disable Depth Emulation" hack is turned off). Or switch to Software mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.

|Workaround=On newer nightly version there is a pop-up with instructions of how to enable it, follow said instructions.
Note: for 1.6 and older: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" or "Vulkan (Hardware)" and Blending Unit Accuracy to "Medium" or higher.
