Known Issues

Half Backgrounds

• Status: Active
• Type: Serious
• Description: Some of the stage's backgrounds have what seems like half a wall of fog.
• Workaround: Works fine with software mode (F9)in GSdx.
  

OpenGL Hardware mode for GSdx corrects this issue, is not quite as slow as the solution above, but introduces lines in the text and menus.
