=== Draw Distance ===
=== Z-Compression ===
Rogue Squadron is known for having remarkable draw distance for a GameCube game. However, Dolphin is not able to emulate it properly, resulting in extremely short visual range. The game is playable, but it is extremely difficult to complete with this glitch. See {{issue|4113}}.
Rogue Squadron uses RGB565_Z16 with Z-compression - a texture format that Dolphin's hardware renderers currently do not support - for distant objects and the skydome. The lack of support for this feature makes the skydome appear over nearly everything, and distant objects are not rendered at all. This gives the impression of an extremely short draw distance. The game is functional, but it is impossible to play with this issue. The software renderer supports Z-compression and this issue is not present there, but the extreme hardware demands prevent it from being playable on any current system. See {{issue|4113}}.

=== Flickering on menu ===
=== Flickering Menu ===
In-game menu suffers from flickering issues. Resizing the window once when playing fixes this flickering.
In-game menu suffers from flickering issues in D3D9 and D3D11. Enter/exit fullscreen or resize the window to fix the flickering. Since the GLSL merge in {{revision|3.5-1025}}, OpenGL does not have this issue.
Main game not playable due to draw distance issue.
 
=== No Menu Videos ===
The background videos in the menu do not work in D3D9. Use D3D11 or OpenGL and they will appear normally.
