== Patches ==
== Problems ==
=== Crashing ===
Crashes occur in cutscenes and when continuing. Many cutscenes can be skipped, but there are some mid boss battle cutscenes that you cannot skip at all, albeit these are very short. To fix this, use the [[DSP LLE]] audio engine; people talk in game and cause the crash since the emulator can't handle it. (This may need further testing). Setting the DSP Engine to "Xaudio2" may reduce DSP HLE's crashing problems.
 
=== Error Message ===
On startup, several of the below two messages appear. Disable "Use Panic Handlers" to hide these messages.
 
:BackPatch: Base reg not RBX, Attempted to access 3f47e054
 
:BackPatch: currently only supports reads, Attempted to write to 3f47e054
 
=== Battle Glitches ===
During the Cyborg Ninja and Psycho Mantis fights, a glitch may occur that prevents you from damaging the bosses. The bosses may also get stuck in a loop. There is no known solution to these problems; the only way around it is to keep trying, and you should eventually be able to beat them.
 
=== Thermal Goggles ===
With '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''', wearing the Thermal Goggles turns the whole screen blue, making it impossible to see both in first and third person modes. Disable '''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' to fix it.
