This is a problem with ATI cards. 100% guarantee! Cuz I have no these graphics 
bugs. I use NVIDIA GTX460. Maybe we should rename this issue in "ATI 
Compatibilty problems" or something like that?

Yes, I have ATI. I discover that this bug happends almost in every game, but in 
shenmue 2 it occurs most commonly. Maybe there are any solutions in drivers 
settings ?
If not, waiting for our savior ))
ps. sorry for my poor english))

Does this bug take place in win7, pls test someone ?

Yup, happens on Win7 too. I tested it before. It seems to be affected by the 
z-buffer, perhaps there's a lossy z-compression or something on Radeons.

Probably solved with a Dx11 plugin as usual.

Change the ZBuffer mode to Adaptive linear.This will fix the in-game glitches 
but menus will become "invisible".

@DimitrisV22:

Adaptive linear mode fixes not all glitches (i guess there are 2 different bugs 
- it fixes problem like in 2d screenshot, but 1 and 3 like bug still there), 
and yes, it has its own bugs)), does work of this mode is in progress or its 
final version?)) 
P.S. this bug is present in diffenent emulators, eg. in demul.

DX10+ X_x.

Please fix this.

This issue is STILL existant in the most recent build... It's not only a visual 
glitch, it also slows down the whole game, making it unplayable. I can't 
believe this hasn't been fixed yet, as you're not able to use NullDC with an 
AMD GPU at all.

The only thing I could do now is to fall back on NullDC 1.04 to play Shenmue 2 
although I have to disable CDDA audio to make it work and it has more graphical 
glitches...
