Slowdown in SW mode during tech/ether attacks and when multiple A.G.W.S are on screen, but fullspeed in HW renderers. GameDB applies appropriate fixes/hacks automatically so there is no need for adjusting settings. Transition screens (battle animation and opening the menu in the field) do not scale with resolution and remain at native res.

{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Shadows puppet lines
|IssueName=Smaller/aliased minimap icons in HW renderers
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Controlled character's shadows will have puppet lines in both OpenGL/D3D11
|Description=Software anti-aliasing (AA1) is not yet fully implemented in hardware, which is used for the triangle icons on the minimap. This is more obvious at native resolution.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Graphics settings > Hacks, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Advanced Settings and Hacks and set Half-pixel Offset to Special (Texture). 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. Tested on 1.6.0: Use Texture filtering on Bilinear (forced) however this is possible to have bad side-effects.
|Workaround=Use SW mode or a higher resolution multiplier.

|Description=Various lines show up in menus and HUD elements when using an Internal Resolution greater than Native.
|Description=Banding is very noticeable in any of the HW renderers compared to software. (https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/7272)
|Workaround=Ensure Texture Filtering is on Bilinear (PS2), or Nearest.
|Workaround=Use SW mode.

|Workaround=Config > Graphics settings > Renderer > Turn on GPU Palette conversion and set Texture Preloading to Full (Hash Cache). Also ensure Half Pixel Offset is Off.  
|Workaround=Use Vulkan HW renderer or SW mode.

{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Characters sometimes have no shadows in cutscenes
|IssueName=Overlapping shadows  
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Related to the above issue, characters don't have detailed shadows in cutscenes, only the simpler ones that are just circles.
|Description=Instead of a single blended shadow, multiple pieces appear to overlap on the active player character's shadow
|Workaround=Config > Graphics settings > Hacks > Enable HW Hacks and enable Auto Flush. Keep in mind this will severely impact performance.
|Workaround=Set blending to medium in DX11/12 or use any other HW renderer.

|Description=Cutscenes involving flashbacks with a black and white filter instead render as a completely solid black box. Gameplay isn't affected.
|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=Use the OpenGL renderer instead of Direct3D11.  
|Workaround=Zoom the screen in using CTRL + "Numpad +". You can reverse this with CTRL + "Numpad -". Alternatively use cropping feature in 1.7 QT.

|IssueName=Ghosted frame after loading screens and FMVs
|IsFixed=1

|Description=A single frame from before a loading screen starts or the last position an FMV ends on remains on screen for a short duration when resuming gameplay, known to be a regression (https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/6625), only affects HW renderers.
|Workaround=Use SW mode (issue resolved and closed).
