 The game runs great using Software mode +2 rendering threads, with default preset (2-safe). Hardware mode, despite being slower ~20-25 FPS, has bugs rendering lighting and shadows. joder666



Test configurations on Linux:

Environment Configurations Comments Tester
Region OS CPU/GPU Revision Graphics Sound/Pad
NTSC-U OpenSuse Tumbleweed x64
  • Intel i5 2500
  • Intel HD Graphics 2000
 1.3.1+git20150130.2119-1.3 (Packman repository) GSdx-OGL (Hardware/Software)
  • SPU-X 2.0.0
  • Onepad 0-Dev 1.1.0
 I get good speed with both Hardware (~45-50fps native res) and Software (~58-60fps) rendering. On Hardware is possible to use 2x scaling without graphics problems or speed tanking too much (~35-45-fps with 2x scaling), however i do get slow downs even if using native when a lot of shooting happens. Use Software mode if you want good speed with no slow downs. Tested with preset 2, +3 rendering thread for Software mode and Async Mix for SPU-X. Joder666
