|Comments= Runs much better than NTSC Version, as long as Maori-Jigglypuff's Overhaul pnach is applied. Pnach fixes various graphical bugs including the "Lost Forest Bug", disables anti-cheating mechanism, and improves speed overall, so setting of PCSX2's GSDX Plugin (OpenGL) can be at default and yet runs smoothly at 50 FPS 95% of the time, and now you can cheat with no crashes onwards. For "Vanilla" gameplay, comment out the obvious cheats in OTH, Items, Ravine timer and disabled enemy AI on his pnach.

* There is a widescreen patch for the game, but the NTSC-U version was removed from the archive in the git build 1.5.0-dev-1090 due to the fact that it causes various freezes in the game. Most notable was if you try to enter 'Sound Settings' while the patch is enabled, it will instantly freeze PCSX2 entirely. The same happens when trying to enter the Change Attack screen, or even fighting the final boss. This is most likely caused by the built-in anticheat system of VP2.

== Known Issues ==
== Known Issues ==
* Note: Valkyrie Profile 2 has a lot of graphical issues that have not yet been addressed/fixed by the PCSX2 team. To avoid fiddling with the settings, you can use a custom plug-in for VP2 [https://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?83282-Need-best-configuration-for-Valkyrie-Profile-2!!&p=1631940#post1631940 developed by c@rder]. You can [http://www.mediafire.com/file/5nqkfm1gl0vss0v/GSdx_VP2.rar/file download the plug-in here (WARNING third-party link, always scan with your antivirus)]. Note that it seems to only work with [https://pcsx2.net/download/releases/archive-download/category/39-pcsx2-v1-0-0.html PCSX2 v1.0.0]. It's still recommended to download the latest dev build from the official PCSX2 website.
{{Issue
|IssueName=Ghosting on some screens
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Valkyrie Profile 2 suffers from ghosting similar to Tales of the Abyss. This issue only occurs on certain maps.
|Workaround=Press F9 to switch to Software Mode, or PCSX2 1.7 dev buils 1190 PCSX2 > Config > Video(GS) > plugin settings > "Enable HW Hacks" > upscaling Hacks > Half-pixel Offset = "Normal Vertex"
}}


{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Decreased drop rate and freezing
|IssueName=Vertical lines during FMVs.
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=-1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=The monsters will drop way less items than they should and you'll rarely get the direct assault item. The game might freeze in the menus, and you won't be able to fight the griffon in the Ancient Forest.
|Description=Some FMVs will have vertical lines on them, some will be barely noticeable while others are visible on the entire screen. It doesn't affect the game much itself as everything is still visible.
|Workaround=This is caused by using widescreen patches. Play the game without widescreen patches, and use the built-in native 16:9 support instead.

{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Crash while attempting to adjust speaker position under Options.
|IssueName=Audio missing and freeze during cutscene.
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=-1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=The game will freeze when you attempt to adjust the speaker position under Options. The Console log will display various 'TLB Miss' errors.
|Description=Entering the boss room in the Turgen Mines dungeon triggers a short cutscene. Audio is completely missing during the scene. Half-way through the scene the game softlocks. Some animations will continue to play, but the cutscene does not advance and trigger the boss.
|Workaround=This is caused by using widescreen patches. Play the game without widescreen patches, and use the built-in native 16:9 support instead.
|Workaround=Go To Config > Audio (SPU2) > Plugin Settings, and set Synchronizing Mode to "Async Mix". Alternatively, press "start" to skip the cutscene. The boss battle will resume after skipping it.

{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Missing post-processing effects (Depth of Field, Bloom, etc.)
|IssueName=Bad rendering in certain areas
|IsFixed=1
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=When using Direct3D hardware renderers, the game will be missing various kinds of post-processing effects.
|Description=In some areas of the game (in particular the Forest area at the start of the game), there will be a purple effect all over the screen when the ''Renderer'' is set to any of the Hardware modes. You can still advance, but it will be very difficult to move around without being able to see where you are exactly.
|Workaround=This has been resolved in recent v1.5.0 git builds. Use OpenGL renderer and keep Blending Accuracy to at least Basic level. CRC hack level should be left on Automatic.

|Description=When using Direct3D hardware renderers, the game will be missing various kinds of post-processing effects.
|Workaround=Under GSdx options, Enable HW Hacks, and then set TC Offset X: 450, and TC Offset Y: 250 to mimimize ghosting. Note that his will cause graphical glitches in other scenes. Alternatively you may also use the Alpha Hack, but this will remove some effects from the game.
