Problems

Crash

This title hangs prior to the start of game play. Refer issue 10826. An unknown GPU command error occurs after the Wii Remote safety warning when stating the title with the OpenGL backend. It crashes immediately afterward before showing anything.

With the DirectX backend the menu can eventually be reached after numerous Unknown Pointer errors. An unknown GPU command error occurs after starting a new game, hanging on the "Episode 01: Morning Woods" screen.

Fixed in 5.0-10063.
