[Runtime Bug]: Max Payne 1 Lighting Flicker Bug

[shoober420]

Describe the bug

When standing in certain spots and moving your mouse cursor, the lights will flicker and sometimes turn off completely, resulting in a dark room.

How do you reproduce the bug?

Stand in a sweet spot and move your mouse around.

Using setting "Other Textures: High" will cause this to happen more frequently, completely disabling RTX rendering when standing and looking in certain spots as well. This does not occur using Medium.

Using in combination with "Detail Textures: High" causes light to completely disable and the room becomes pitch black.

What is the expected behavior?

The lights to remain on and not flicker and glitch out.

Version

0.5.4

@shoober420 Hi shoober. You're using the Max Payne Remixed demo from Moddb aren't you? I'm the creator of that mod, and currently it's not compatible with the most recent updates of Remix, because I made that demo a long time ago, on a much earlier build of Remix, dxvk and bridge. And frankly, I don't have time to look into it and fix it, since I'm too busy with the full version of that mod. That, and real life stuff.

That being said, I believe I know what's causing the issue: Incompatible Remix config file, OR, improperly tagged textures... You're using a very old remix config file taken from the demo mentioned earlier, the demo in its current state isn't perfect, and I lacked sufficient knowledge when I made it, some textures might possible have the wrong tag, most likely tagged as UI when it shouldn't be. Your have 3 options here:

• 1: Uninstall the mod, or reinstall your game and Remix if you don't know how to properly remove the mod.
• 2: Reset the Remix settings to default, however that will make the game look like cheeks unless you know what you're doing.
• 3: Attempt fixing the problem yourself by removing all textures tagged as UI, then slowly work your way back by re-tagging them one by one until you find the faulty one. If you don't know how to do this, read the documentation for Remix and/or ask the Remix community for help.
