Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition - Light Sources are not being picked up by remix.

[traggey]

Describe the bug

• Remix does not pick up any of the lights from the original game, this is game breaking as the player flashlight can no longer be used in environments that are designed to be pitch black without one.

Below is a save file for the apartments section of the game where the flashlight has been picked up and activated. Confirm that the flashlight is on when loading the save by pressing "I" for Inventory, and seeing if its status is set to ON. Place save file into SilentHill2/Data/Save/Folder 01

Upon loading the save, the enemy in the room might have respawned, hold right mouse button to ready weapon and press left mouse to hit it.

Observe how the game requires fallback lighting to be enabled in order for the scene to not be pitch black, even if the player flashlight is enabled.

• Issue is present in all versions of remix.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Set the game and Enhanced Edition up by following my guide - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hayGXNlAJZWOp2ivV8otdSMP23pbXk7DL-pfLq5ZJjU
• Start the game and skip the opening cinematics
• Observe how everything is in pitch blackness and requires fallback lights or replacement lights to function.
• The player does not start with the flashlight and it takes a while of playing before reaching a point where you do get it, I have supplied a save file that takes you to where the flashlight has been found.

Expected behavior

• remix being able to detect lights from the original game, especially gameplay important ones such as the flashlight

@traggey Can you please set the option #logAllCalls = False to logAllCalls = True in your bridge.conf file, reproduce this issue using the debug build of bridge-remix, and then send me the newly generated d3d9.log and NvRemixBridge.log files?

What this does is let us know which D3D API functions are being called by the game, so we can see if the game is trying to set up an actual light. If you need me to rephrase these instructions or elaborate upon them, please let me know and we can work through getting this information.

Here are the logs requested, these should also contain a hard crash that I'm experiencing, I've created a new ticket for that crash.

These logs were not taken in an area where the player flashlight is available as I can not make it that far into the game anymore, will update again with new logs if I can solve that issue.

Here are new logs! The previous ones were set up incorrectly, my bad!

No attempts to start the flashlight should be visible in this log, only world lights, a crashing issue is currently preventing me from testing the flashlight as it requires me to open the inventory, which causes a crash.

Just tested it with the newest build and the lights are still not picked up by RTX Remix
