{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Saving game may crash at specific save points
|IssueName=Shadows puppet lines
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Some save crystals will crash the game. List of definitely affected savespots: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/519264-xenosaga-episode-i-der-wille-zur-macht/62218540
|Description=Controlled character's shadows will have puppet lines in both OpenGL/D3D11
|Workaround=Use save states.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Graphics settings > Hacks, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Upscale Hacks and set Half-Pixel Offset to Special (Texture). Alternatively set Skipdraw to "1" to remove shadows. Tested on 1.6.0: Use Texture filtering on Bilinear (forced) however this is possible to have bad side-effects.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Various Lines in Menus/HUD when upscaling
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Various lines show up in menus and HUD elements when using an Internal Resolution greater than Native.
|Workaround=Ensure Texture Filtering is on Bilinear (PS2), or Nearest.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Black surfaces in cutscenes
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Many of the cutscenes have black surfaces scattered on the environment or on characters. Gameplay isn't affected.
|Workaround=Config > Graphics settings > Renderer > Turn on GPU Palette conversion and set Texture Preloading to Full (Hash Cache). Also ensure Round Sprite is Off.

{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Missing text
|IssueName=Characters sometimes have no shadows in cutscenes
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description= Text will be faded (or completely missing) in Hardware mode.
|Description=Related to the above issue, characters don't have detailed shadows in cutscenes, only the simpler ones that are just circles.
|Workaround=Possibly fixed with v1.3.1-966-g260c127. Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options.
|Workaround=Config > Graphics settings > Hacks > Enable HW Hacks and enable Auto Flush.

{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Shadows puppet lines
|IssueName=Flashbacks render as completely black with D3D11 (Hardware)
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Shadows will have puppet lines in both OpenGL/D3D11
|Description=Cutscenes involving flashbacks with a black and white filter instead render as a completely solid black box. Gameplay isn't affected.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and enable the Half-pixel Offset hack or set TC offset to X=0000 and Y=1000 (will fix puppet lines partially depending on scene. This also fixes the weird "hair lines" in front of certain characters' faces). Alternatively set Skipdraw to "1" to remove shadows.
|Workaround=Use the OpenGL renderer instead of Direct3D11.

{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Black Lines in GUI/Menus etc
|IssueName=One row of garbage pixels across top and left side
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=-1
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Black lines show up in Character portraits and game menus.
|Description=During cutscenes and some gameplay you may notice one row of garbage pixels across the top of the screen or along the left side.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Texture Filtering to the default "Bilinear (PS2)" option or "Nearest".
|Workaround=Zoom the screen in using CTRL + "Numpad +". You can reverse this with CTRL + "Numpad -".

==Fixed Issues==
{{Issue
|IssueName=Saving at specific save points may crash the game
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=Some save crystals will crash the game. List of definitely affected savespots: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/519264-xenosaga-episode-i-der-wille-zur-macht/62218540
|Workaround=No longer an issue on 1.7.0-dev-115 and newer. For older versions, [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Post-your-PCSX2-cheats-patches-here?pid=603236#pid603236 A patch has been made to prevent crashes at all save points]. Alternatively, create save states before interacting with save points. If a save point crashes the game, load the save state to resume the game, and avoid saving at that save point.
