Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is the third game released in the Tony Hawk's series and the first released for the Nintendo GameCube, developed by Neversoft and released by Activision on October 28, 2001. In this series, you play as one of many different pro skaters or a skater of your own, exploring different zones and trying to complete objectives all while busting out awesome tricks and impressing the locals.

Problems

Invisible Characters

This game uses a niche GCN feature known as ZCompLoc. Without this feature characters are invisible. A hack has existed since 3.0-505, but a proper implementation of ZCompLoc was added to OpenGL in 3.5-1649 to D3D11 in 3.5-1729. The new implementation requires OpenGL 4.2+ or Direct3D11 compatibility. If your system cannot support the proper implementation, a warning will appear, and Dolphin will fall back to the old ZCompLoc hack. Problems may still occur while using the hack. See issue 4881, issue 4841, ZCompLoc forum thread, ZCompLoc testing thread.

4.0-1140 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i5-4670K @ 4.0GHz NVIDIA GeForce 760 Instant crash with OpenGL. Works fine with Direct3D. Darxide
4.0-4478 Linux Ubuntu 14.04 Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Almost perfect with default settings. Physics engine is so accurate, it's actually more accurate than the official Windows port; however, some stages can have slowdown (LA is the worst offender dropping down to 60% for short bursts), there's a couple crackling sound effects here or there, and the videos/cutscenes have some tearing and stuttering issues, but most of these things are avoidable and don't detract from the actual game. Finished career mode 100% with Tony Hawk without major issues. Xerxes
