# Description: I've encountered so far 2 scenarios of freeze:

1/ Right in the opening FMV, the game freezes. FPS counter still goes on though. However, this can be solved by the magic START button (skipping the FMV altogether)

2/ After that, the game goes quite smoothly with almost no glitch or bug until Mission 13, when you have to destroy the Dora Gustaf (the boss here). However, when Dora Gustaf is defeated, it tries to launch the Nuke, after which I believe is a FMV (It's so long since the last time I played it on a real PS2) and the game simply freezes in a black transition screen.

I thought it may be due to the NTSC rom so I tried a PAL version. PAL version still encounters the #1 bug and I still have no time to go through 13 missions to check #2 bug.

Every comment is welcome. It's quite near the end of the game so I just wanna finish it, well...

It's a problem with FMVs, and it's known. You'll have to wait till it's fixed unfortunately

EDIT: Still present as of latest beta
