|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=Shadows will have puppet lines in both OpenGL/D3D11
|Workaround=Use save states.
|Workaround= Recommended: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Advanced Settings and Hacks and set Half-pixel Offset to Normal (Vertex). 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.

|Description=Many of the cutscenes have black surfaces scattered on the environment or on characters. Gameplay isn't affected.

|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.

|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.
