To do this, you must once again enter the thieving world of pickpocketing, vent crawls, rooftop chases, and stealth attacks. Sly 2: Band of Thieves takes you on an adventure across numerous locations, including Paris, Prague, India, and the Canadian Wilderness.

Still has shadow bounding box issues in the titlescreen intro and a couple other areas. Alpha stencil fixes this but breaks model shadows. There is noticeable health bar bounding issues that flicker, but it doesn't bother gameplay.

<!-- Remove comment signs and add issues here -->
Update: If the above does not help, setting the Clamping Mode option in the VUs menu under Emulation Settings to 'Extra' seems to help a great deal. Note that this issue is compounded by higher internal resolutions under your video plugin setting, so set the clamping mode and then reduce the internal resolution setting until the game runs consistently at full speed. This bug is worse in 1.7.0 build.
