The japanese version suffers from flickering/corrupted textures in the distance...
Is the US version unaffected?

Comments:
*Game runs great. 
*Flickering textures seen in distance while playing @ hardware mode, but it is naturally removed the moment you close-up.  Whilst @ Software mode (+MipMapping), there is no flickering textures at all. 
 
 
Bugs:
# Flickering/corrupted textures in the distance.     Fixed By; Software Mode (F9) + MipMapping.
# Dark cut-scenes.                                             Fixed by; Gamesfixes “Switch to GSdx software rendering when FMV plays
                                                                        OR          Native (HD quality is degraded)

Does the unscale point hw hack fix the dark cut-scenes too?

Just tested, unscale point removes dark cut-scenes with renderer OpenGL (Hardware).

BIOS Used: USA v02.40(10/02/2006) Console

EE/VU Clamp modes: Normal/Normal
EE/VU Rounding: Chop/Chop

GS Windows: Ratio 16:9

Speedhacks Used:

Defaults/Preset 2, except MTVU (Multi-Threaded microVU1) enabled

Gamefixes Used:

Non-Automatic-
*Enabled Switch to GSdx software rendering when an FMV plays, to avoid thick grids in cutscenes/FMVs.
*Enable this only if the fixes below didn't work.

GSdx Settings:

*See attached Image.

SPU2-X:

XAudio 2 | Vol 35% | Latency 151ms (avg) | Async Mix

Comments:

*I had External Shaders Enabled in three of the attached screenshots (FXAA, Bloom, Cellshading, etc).
*Played in OpenGL Hardware mode, upscaled to 1440p (2560x1440).

*RUNS AT FULL SPEED

Bugs, Issues & Solutions:

*Disable Large Framebuffer for this game, especially when upscaling in high resolutions, to avoid 90%+ slowdowns when underwater.
*When upscaled, enabling the Unscale Point Line hack alone, in GSdx Settings > Enable HW Hacks,
 might not work in fixing the black FMVs, so enable the Gamefix mentioned above.
*Only minor flickering with textures sometimes, usually at a distance; but can be very noticable in certain levels, such as The Lost Valley, but generally not frequent;
 Can be fixed by switching to Software mode.
*Some minor misalignment with certain texts, I haven't learned how to fix this, but wasn't a big deal overall.
*No other major issues, running in OpenGL Software mode pretty much has no apparent issues.

Amount of testing done (little/medium/much/completed-game): 100% Game Completion
