Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

GT4 has a very similar issue with it's horizontal texts, and it is because the one deinterlacing mode that works for the game is blend, which naturally causes this kind of blur, especially on things like horizontal scrolling text. Is Progressive Scan supported by GT3? If so, I strongly recommend giving that a go.

Hi,

Unortunately, GT3 dont have the progressive scan option like GT4 Sad

At least, can you tell if you have the same problem as me ?

Thanks for your replies !

I've found the solution !

I have to choose the interlacing option : "bob tff" in plugin settings.

Now, the game is way better ! Thanks !

[attachment=69560]

I thought that GT3 never had blur issues unlike GT4 and TT. I haven't said anything as I was dumbfounded with this issue. I thought that interlacing here could have been an issue, but that never came to my mind. However, interlacing should be remained Automatic.
