Known Issues

Scenes are distorted and unwatchable

Status: Fixed
Type: Serious
Description: Some cut scenes are distorted and unwatchable using a hardware renderer but they are far and few between (maybe half a dozen in the whole game), the context is still clear from audio.
Workaround: Software rendering may fix this.

(fixed since r5229)

Darker screen

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: In dx11 hardware mode, screen often gets darker than it should be.
Workaround: Dx9 mode would fix this, but fps is severely reduced.(30~50%)

Alternatively: Enabling Alpha and Half-pixel Offset along with a TC Offset Y of 1000 (in the configuration menu of HW hack) fix the shadows and the screen being too dark problems.

Minor glitches in Zarathustra dungeon

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: There are some minor glitches in Zarathustra dungeon.
Workaround: No known solution
