<!-- Give a brief description about the game -->
'''''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''''' is based on the 2011 film of the same name. It is the sequel to 2009's [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]], and the third video game adaptation of the live-action Transformers film series. Unlike the first two games, Dark of the Moon follows an original story, set before the events of the film it is based on, and features only one campaign, which alternates between the Autobots and the Decepticons. A spin-off, [[Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark]], was released in June 2014.
 
The game, like its predecessors, is mostly a third-person shooter and has players fight various types of AI enemies in both single-player and multiplayer modes. Most notably, the game introduces a new feature called "Stealth Force", which allows the characters to use weapons while in vehicle form. In both vehicle and robot form, characters have access to two special abilities, which change when the player transforms. For example, Ironhide may have the ability to throw grenades in robot form, and a speed-up ability in vehicle form. The multiplayer component of the game features four classes: Scout, Hunter, Commander and Warrior, which all have specific traits, such as the Scout being faster than the other classes, or the Warrior having more health.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is based on the 2011 film of the same name. It is the sequel to 2009's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and the third video game adaptation of the live-action Transformers film series. Unlike the first two games, Dark of the Moon follows an original story, set before the events of the film it is based on, and features only one campaign, which alternates between the Autobots and the Decepticons. A spin-off, Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, was released in June 2014.

The game, like its predecessors, is mostly a third-person shooter and has players fight various types of AI enemies in both single-player and multiplayer modes. Most notably, the game introduces a new feature called "Stealth Force", which allows the characters to use weapons while in vehicle form. In both vehicle and robot form, characters have access to two special abilities, which change when the player transforms. For example, Ironhide may have the ability to throw grenades in robot form, and a speed-up ability in vehicle form. The multiplayer component of the game features four classes: Scout, Hunter, Commander and Warrior, which all have specific traits, such as the Scout being faster than the other classes, or the Warrior having more health.

Configuration

Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.

CPU configuration

Setting Option Notes
SPU block size Mega Improves performance without the cost of stability.

GPU configuration

Setting Option Notes
ZCULL accuracy Relaxed Slightly Improves performance.
Strict rendering mode On Required to prevent severe artifacts.
Multithreaded RSX On May improve performance, may not. Needs further testing.
Asynchronous texture streaming On This can improve performance, if your GPU is strong enough to use it.

Advanced configuration

Setting Option Notes
Sleep timers accuracy As Host Improves performance.
Driver wake-up delay 100 Needed to prevent crashes after only a few minutes of gameplay. Check values between 100-300.

Known Issues

Expect semi-frequent crashes in areas with lots of particle effects. Most notably in multiplayer and near the end of Chapter 6.

Special Notes

The game's Coalesced.ini configuration file can be modified for better performance. See this video for installation instructions for a premade performance-oriented Coalesced.ini.
