=== <s>Hang on Licensed by Nintendo</s> ===
The game goes through massive slowdown on its initial "Licensed by Nintendo" screen unless the "Skip EFB Access from CPU" hack is enabled. Without it, loading times upwards of 10 minutes can be experienced before getting in-game, however once in-game without the hack a savestate can be created to bypass the long loading times. See {{issue|8110}}. This has been fixed in {{revision|5.0-9735}} and {{revision|5.0-9638}}.

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-3437|OS=Windows 10|CPU=Intel Core i7-4790k @ 4GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070|result=Finished half the game, running in Vulkan (experimental) with Antialiasing: None, Anistropic Filtering: 1x, and Internal: 3x Native (1920x1584) for 1080p.  But otherwise almost 60FPS the entire time. Pretty much perfect, just some minor graphical glitches, like Bubbles on Main Menu flickering and lights showing textures incorrectly, but nothing distracting, and i found that playing in Vulkan increases framerate and decreases stutter alot more. I did test OpenGL performance on Windows and it seems the most stable option, but framerate and stutter is very inconsistent. If you're on Windows, i suggest using Vulkan, as it's worth the very minor graphical glitches, just be in mind it's still experimental (at the time of writing this).|tester=Spongeyperson}}

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-10833|OS=Lubuntu 18.10|CPU=Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060|result=The initial loading for the game is still really slow, but now it runs at 7-12% speed instead of 0-1%. It finishes in around 50 seconds (over 10x faster than before when it took 10 minutes) so it's just fine, no need for Skip EFB Access anymore. Everywhere else the game runs full speed. There's some screen tearing, probably fixed by V-Sync but I didn't try it. Since the loading screen is manageable and just slowdown, and screen tearing doesn't normally affect rating as far as I know, this game is perfect. Played up to meeting Patrick delivering food downtown.|tester=Xerxes}}
