|Comments=The game runs fine without many issues on my end, even with the sprite alignment. I just have CRC set to Patial, Blending to default, NTSC BIOS v2.00, 8-Bit Textures enabled, and safe features disabled in my machine. I do, however get facial glitches, and sometimes even get a blue screen with hud in Training.

*Automatically Configured
|Comments= Runs perfect with default settings,no hacks. Turning Hacks on causes issues with black lines running through the screen. There is no benefit. I have also upscaled to 2k, have FXAA, and 2x Ani Filtering enabled. Absolutely works out of the box in Nightly on Linux. I've played this prior with Ubuntu, and Fedora. Anything above PCSX2 version 1.6 should run this fantastic with OpenGL, and Software mode.
Vulkan will crash PCSX2

* If you can't play the sound at normal speed you should consider using Async rather than Time-stretched in SPU2-X options (it doesn't break the game).

==Notes==
* If you are having trouble with frame drops due to the costly effects you should consider using "Async mix" rather than "Time-stretched" in audio options (it doesn't break the game).

{{Issue
|IssueName=Performance Loss With "Texture Preloading" set to: "Full (Hash Cache)"
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=As of Pcsx2 version 1.7.3039 "Texture preloading: Full (Hash Cache)" was made default. For best performance in SoulCalibur 3 you will want to set it "partial".
|Workaround="Texture Preloading: Partial" added to autofixes in the latest 1.7 dev builds (tested v1.7.3140).

*'''Alternative Workaround''':Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and either: Use set the Internal Resolution to "Native", or set it to "Custom" and the Custom Resolution to 1260x(any value). You can subtract any multiple of 60 from 1260 (eg, 1200, 1140, 1080, etc) as needed for performance, but no horizontal resolution greater than 1260 works. Vertical resolution has no effect on the black bars, so you can set this to any value you desire.

|Workaround=Go to Config > Emulation Settings, VUs tab, and set '''Clamping Mode''' to "'''Extra'''".
|Workaround=Fixed in the latest 1.7 dev builds, for older versions go to Config > Emulation Settings, VUs tab, and set '''Clamping Mode''' to "'''Extra'''".
*'''Alternative Workaround''':Keep Clamping Mode on the VUs tab set to the default "Normal" and set Clamping Mode on the EE/IOP tab to "None". This won't look as good as the other workaround (SPS will still occur but it will fade away by itself in a few seconds) but it will increase the framerate.
