The House of the Dead: Overkill is a first-person rail shooter video game developed by Headstrong Games and published by Sega. It is the fifth game developed in the The House of the Dead series, a prequel to the original House of the Dead chronologically and the first in the series to be released exclusively on a home console. It was released on February 10, 2009 in North America and February 13, 2009 in Europe. The game was released in Japan on September 17, 2009 bundled with the Wii Zapper accessory. The Japanese release, however, had to be drastically censored in order to still get the CERO-D rating.

Problems

Anti-aliasing Blur

With Dolphin 3.0 and recent builds, if using Direct3D11, enabling anti-aliasing will cause the menus to have a blur effect during transitions. However, there is no in-engine issues with anti-aliasing. Direct3D9 does not have this blur issue.

Double Images

If you experience double images while playing, uncheck "Ignore Format Changes" and check "External Frame Buffer Virtuell" under Hacks in the Graphics options. Tested on version 3.0-774.

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
