|Workaround=[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.
|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.
