This game uses a niche GCN feature known as ZCompLoc. Without this feature characters are invisible. A hack has existed since 3.0-505, but a proper implementation of ZCompLoc was added to OpenGL in 3.5-1649 to D3D11 in 3.5-1729. The new implementation requires OpenGL 4.2+ or Direct3D11 compatibility. If your system cannot support the proper implementation, a warning will appear, and Dolphin will fall back to the old ZCompLoc hack. Problems may still occur while using the hack. See issue 4881, issue 4841, ZCompLoc forum thread, ZCompLoc testing thread. D3D9 was dropped, and OpenGL now uses a much cheaper extension that is widely supported by all drivers.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revision | OS | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
r7688 | Windows 7 | AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400 @ 2.2GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 | Unplayable. Graphics are completely distorted. | Endres |
^3.0 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6870 | Playable. opening movies only play sound, levels load up fine, but player is invisible. | 173.67.20.27 |
3.5-1394 | Windows 8 | Intel Core i7-3840QM @ 2.8GHz | AMD Radeon HD 7970M | Unplayable. Freezes before main menu. | BAPACop |
3.5-1395 | Windows 8 | Intel Core i7-3840QM @ 2.8GHz | AMD Radeon HD 7970M | Unplayable. Freezes before main menu. | BAPACop |
4.0-1140 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-4670K @ 4.0GHz | NVIDIA GeForce 760 | Instant crash with OpenGL. Works fine with Direct3D. | Darxide |
4.0-4478 | Ubuntu 14.04 | Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 | Almost perfect with default settings. Physics engine is so accurate, it's actually more accurate than the official Windows port; however, some stages can have slowdown (LA is the worst offender dropping down to 60% for short bursts), there's a couple crackling sound effects here or there, and the videos/cutscenes have some tearing and stuttering issues, but most of these things are avoidable and don't detract from the actual game. Finished career mode 100% with Tony Hawk without major issues. | Xerxes |
