Xenosaga Vol. I graphical issue

[SinLikeSnow]

Xenosaga runs pretty much fine except for one issue. On some character models theirs a black running from their forehead all the way down I've noticed it on Shion and several other characters. I have no idea what's causing this
When I run the same in software mode it seems to solve the issue, but then the gameplay meets really heavy slowdown.
Is there anyway I can fix this issue in hardware mode?

I'm using an Intel i5 6400 CPU 9 (2.7 GHz. Can't overclock)
an NVIDIA GTX 970 GPU
8GB DDR4 RAM
Windows 10

I'm using version 1.4.0
The emulation settings are a preset 2 (faster)
and running it off an .iso file
as for non default, I set everything back to default when the setts I changed didn't solve my issue

Can you post a picture of what exactly you're seeing in hardware mode?

Oddly enough, After running Xenosaga with the 1.5.0 the hardware issue seems to be missing. All of the character models look correct, even with the filtering up to 16x
maybe it had something to do with ver 1.4.0

skip draw 1 should remove those puppet lines, though it should be fixed in opengl mode
