Description and steps to reproduce [Required]

Every N64 Emulator using parallel-rdp as a plugin for the Video interface (VI) emulation has texture issues with Arc.

The performance is fine but textures do not go where they should. (See issue https://github.com/Themaister/parallel-rdp/issues/54 I opened there).

The image is from SM64 but every N64 game like the free Floppy Bird version have this issue.

Hi, please contact parallel-rdp developer about this, and if the developer verifies this as driver fault, an issue can be opened by parallel-rdp developer with in-depth details and sample code to reproduce.

thanks for your understanding

It could very well have something to do with this (straight from the parallel-rdp readme) :

I'm not sure who's job it is to implement such data "padding" in this case (intel driver devs vs game engine/emulator devs), but the parallel-rdp author specifically stated there's an edge case for intel under windows.

Questions to the intel devs : would this break compatibility on your end to implement in the driver directly ? Is this in your range of responsibility to begin with ?

In any case, I've reproduced this issue, be it with simple64 or RetroArch's Parallel-RDP N64 core.
