When near the start/finish line while racing on a Lightning themed track, the powerslide effect is glitched out, stretching out like a laser beam toward the finish line.

In Chapter 2 of F-Zero GX, the boulders that roll across the track | In Chapter 2 of F-Zero GX, the boulders that roll across the track can have no shadows in Direct3D. These shadows use a feature known as "LogicOps" which D3D11 on Windows 7 does not support. To see the shadows properly, use the OpenGL or Vulkan backend, or use revisions newer than {{revision|5.0-5404}} for Windows 8/10. See {{issue|7183}}. | ||

=== Master Difficulty End Credits === | === Master Difficulty End Credits === | ||
Credits sequence after Master difficulty completion isn't 100% accurate on default settings. The sepia tone images are supposed to appear to the right after the special character movie plays. The specifics have been untested but if the problem is similar to the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Saving Screenshots|Super Smash Bros. Brawl snapshot feature problem]], a snapshot is generated either during a race or after crossing the finish line. Storing EFB Copies to RAM can be taxing, so the best solution would probably be to disable '''Storing EFB Copies to Texture Only''' before crossing the finish line on the third lap and then enabling '''Storing EFB Copies to Texture Only''' after the announcer announces the rank you earned.

===<s> Heat Effect/Blur </s>=== | |||
Sand Ocean's heat effect cuts speed on even the most powerful computers. Using the Vulkan backend can improve performance, or the effect can be disabled entirely by turning on "Skip EFB Access from CPU" in configuration. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-9735}}. | |||

=== <s>V-Sync Crashes</s> === | |||
If V-Sync is enabled, F-Zero GX will inevitably crash at some point early in play, to the point where it's difficult to even complete a race. Make sure V-Sync is disabled to avoid this. Alternatively, for NVIDIA GPUs, Adaptive V-Sync can be enabled and not cause F-Zero GX to crash. Seems to be fixed as of {{revision|5.0-5620}}. | |||

"Needs" Texture Cache Accuracy: Safe for the emblem editor's cursor, but it's not worth the performance hit and barely noticeable. V-Sync and Vulkan both work just fine, I played for a few hours with them without any issues. Vulkan is definitely the best performing in this game and runs Sand Ocean at full speed (compared to 50-60% in other backends). Besides trying out V-Sync and different video backends, all other settings were default.|tester=Xerxes}} | |||
