- Audio: Minor popping during cutscenes (fixable by increasing buffer).
- Gnarly-specific: Pre-applied 60 FPS patch works 80% of the time – drops during heavy combat.
The Bad Parts
- Shader Compilation Stutter: The first time you play, every new area will stutter for a second while the emulator "learns" the graphics. This is annoying, but the Gnarly Repacks usually include a pre-compiled shader cache folder to minimize this. If yours is missing it, the first hour of gameplay will be rough.
- Crashing: While stable, Uncharted 3 has a tendency to crash if you skip cutscenes too quickly. This is an emulator limitation, not a repack fault.
