About The Matrix: Path of Neo. Is there some reason Merge Sprite hack wasn't added too? Does it cause other issues? It fixes the ghosting around characters for me.
It should be noted that the game for some reason defaults to Brightness: 0 which makes it very very dark, but in PC version it defaults to Brightness: 5 which looks normal.

Is there no other option? that removes the lighting, from the look of it. My main aim was to remove the lighting glitches when upscaling, that was all.

Tried all the other HW hacks now and none seem to help.

Funny, before I even scrolled down, I tested it and found the same thing - Merge Sprite is still needed to remove ghosting. That visual glitch is not worth the some additional lighting effects (which I barely notice - just a tad darker)

With Merge Sprite off:
2022-03-20 22_46_29-Slot_ 0 _ Speed_ 100% (59 94) _ Limiter_ Normal _ OpenGL HW _ Automatic _ 2560x2

Is halfPixelOffset: 2 = Special texture? It need that or Special texture +Aggressive to fix the glossy textures/white lines.

yes 2 = Special Texture. I'd rather avoid aggressive if I can.
