{{Issue
|IssueName=Semi-transparent wall
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=A semi-transparent wall appears in front of the character.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and Blending Unit Accuracy to at least "High". A depth issue will now be visible causing a ghost image to appear at certain angles. Alternatively set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options to avoid both issues. For NTSC-U versions make sure CRC Hack Level is set to "Full" is the issue does appear.
