USA v02.00(14/06/2004), Defaults + MTVU (Multi-Threaded microVU1), Game works fine at max speed 60fps in Gsdx Hardware mode with some minor issues., If you use any custom resolution other than native you may encounter some black shadows in places with many lights. Night Vision and Sniping mode is kind of blurry. Binoculars seems to work fine unless you zoom out the camera at maximum distance then the image is the same as in sniper mode. In software mode all the above work fine but very slow around 10-12fps | |

BIOS: v01.60, Direct3D 11 (Hardware). Only ran it with 1920x1080 resolution with full texture filtering enabled. Looks amazing. However, due to the known issues it is way too easy as the settings are off or something because you can see in the dark without the goggles!? The Thermal function works perfectly so no real complaints. The game is impossible to play in Software mode the FPS drops to 6fps even with the EE Cyclerate and VU Cycle Stealing at max with all the speed ups enabled. | Yojimbo91 |
