== Patches ==
== Problems ==
=== Missing Characters in Text ===
All versions of the game may have missing characters in various game text, per {{issue|30}}. Such can be resolved by setting accurate texture case towards a "safe" setting, though it's unclear what setting is necessary.  Position 2 (middle) seems to work fine, though there may be one or two missing letters every once in a long while.
 
=== Calender ===
Syncing the calender causes the game to crash. Despite what the game indicates when first run, one can play the game normally without the calender; so when prompted to sync it at the beginning of the game, simply select "no" to proceed.
 
=== Black Video ===
FMV cutscenes such as the intro on creating a new commander appear black unless the External Frame Buffer is enabled and set to Real and Scaled EFB Copy is disabled. Setting the Internal Resolution to 1x reduces image shaking.  Note that more recent versions make the rest of the game look choppy if you keep the above two settings on, so it is advised to only have them on if you must see the FMVs ingame.
 
=== {{s}}White Box in D3D{{/s}} ===
In the D3D backend the camera is somehow too far back, creating a large white box that covers the screen. If you use shift+W to zoom in to the camera's normal position past the white block, the game will be fully playable. Alternatively, just use OpenGL, as it does not suffer from this problem. See {{issue|6268|fixed}}. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-3748}}.
