SSX Blur is a snowboarding and skiing video game. It is the fifth installment in the SSX series. The soundtrack was created by Junkie XL and is played through the in-game radio station, "Radio BIG".

Problems

Intro Videos

Intro videos display only garbage and/or a blank screen, but does not crash Dolphin. These can be skipped through after the initial EA Sports BIG intro. These only happen on certain graphics cards; Radeons will display the videos correctly, NVIDIAs will not. See issue 7193

Loading Screens

Loading screens can suffer from some graphics corruption in the lower half when scaling above native is used.

Configuration

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

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
3.0	Windows 7	AMD Athlon II X4 645 @ 3.1GHz	ATI Radeon HD 4250	Unplayable! The game seems to have a lot of graphics issues. I can't even get to make a save so I can at least have a banner for this one.
r7719	Windows 7	Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 3GHz	ATI Radeon FireGL 5600	Working with two bugs: sometimes the fog is much thicker and I do not see anything. Sometimes the character disappears completely, so that can only be seen ski or snowboard.	DeniSSXRus
3.0-370	Windows 7	Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 3GHz	ATI Radeon FireGL 5600	Working without bugs because 3.0-370 has "Scaled EFB Copy" option, but speed is 80-90%	DeniSSXRus
4.0-5422	Windows 8.1	Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 3.5GHz	AMD Radeon HD 7750	Fullspeed	DeniSSXRus
4.0-8400	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.8GHz	nVidia GeForce GTX 760	Plays correctly.	JMC47
