Known Issues

Crashes caused by "Thread terminated due to fatal error: [index buffer] Working buffer not big enough..." can be fixed by enabling the "Disable FIFO Reordering" debug setting. (See this page on how to show debug settings: https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Help:Frequently_Asked_Questions#Debug_configuration ) This game is currently not playable. Even with the recommended settings above, expect frequent crashes and desynchronisations.

Special Notes

Game versions prior to 2.00 are known to be more stable.

Gran Turismo 5 makes use of MSAA, which can be heavy on the GPU in replays and even in races. Disabling anti-aliasing significantly reduces GPU load, but fences and foliage render incorrectly with it disabled. As a workaround, you can set default resolution to 1920x1080 which uses a different anti-aliasing implementation while still rendering everything correctly, and reduces VRAM usage as well.
