Problems
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|

Light Glow
Since, light glow will not render correctly when EFB to texture only is enabled. Disabling it fixes the problem.

Underwater Rendering
When diving underwater an effect should blur the distance. On Dolphin everything is rendered completely fuzzy. Refer. Only the software back-end renders correctly. Since additional issues occur including a black bar obscuring the screen. refer.

Lighting and Shimmering Object Smears
Beams of light and shimmering objects, like faerie wings, can smear or be duplicated or otherwise corrupt graphics. Slightly different versions of the corruption are seen between OpenGL and DirectX. Refer and. Fixed by.

}}}}

Blotchy Textures
Some textures are intended to be in an 18b rather than 24b format, which can cause banding across gradients or otherwise blotchy colors. Disabling Force 24-bit colour fixes the issue.

Remove Bloom AR Code
The game has a bloom effect that causes issues with shimmering objects and an AR Code is needed to remove the bloom. This AR Code will remove bloom entirely.
