GUN broken graphics

[psennermann]

The game GUN (SLUS_211.39;1) has broken graphics (as you can see below there are stripes on screen + missing ground textures...using some Skipdraw values (for example 12) gets rid of the stripes but the missing textures are still there:

Skipdraw=12

Also see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DazA-5t6ykA

[psennermann]

Forgot to write that this is using DX9, anyway software and OpenGL renderer have a similar behaviour (but software doesn't have the stripes even with skipdraw at 0)

[gregory38]

regression or has it always like that?

[psennermann]

Just tried with r 9.7.3113 svn (may 29 2010) and the game has the same problem...

[shandawgy]

Those black lines are also in Jackass the game (NTSC-U) [SLUS-21627]

You do not see the black lines until you are a bit in game but non the less they are the exact same black lines.

Jackass the game dose not have any bad textures so there for there is actually two different problems with GUN and one of those problems is the exact same as the jackass game.

[shandawgy]

I dont know how the modders want that issue addressed if they want a new issue open for the Jackass game also or just linked to this issue as well.

[gigaherz]

Unless you can confirm it's the SAME bug, make a new one, and mention this one as "possibly related". Just type "#43" in the text and it github will create the link itself.

[shandawgy]

I can not confirm that they are the same in might just be in common but I do get a lot of missing textures and stuff appear on the pcsx2 when it is run

[gregory38]

Could you test the build of this thread http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-GSdx-2-0 ? Note: OpenGL only

The stripes will be fixed for sure.

[psennermann]

Yes, stripes are gone, but the missing textures are still there...

[gregory38]

Did you try to enable the depth option / accurate option?

Edit: ah sorry I didn't see SW renderer have the same issue. So it could be a core issue instead.

[gregory38]

Could you test the SW renderer on latest git ? A couple of bug were fixed so maybe yours.

[psennermann]

Unfortunately some ground textures are still missing even on software renderer of 1.3.1-886

[rz5]

Bug is still present in 1.3.1-1302, would a GS dump help?

EDIT: This game has crashed the emulator twice on me while testing. It turns out the missing texture bug can be worked around by setting VU0/VU1 "Round Mode" to Nearest.

EDIT2: Setting the above mentioned round mode to Positive makes the emulator freeze.

EDIT3: The OGL HW renderer can't draw the character shadows, that's still a bug to be fixed.

GS dump will always be helpful. :)

[rz5]

Here's a couple of screenshots with VU round mode on Nearest. This game crashes the emulator frequently.

GS dump: http://forums.pcsx2.net/attachment.php?aid=57705

[gregory38]

Any info on the crash? Does it happen on SW rendering (I know gl isn't robust yet to memory allocation)

[rz5]

It's not a crash per-say, pcsx2 just hangs and doesn't respond to shutdown or exit requests. Happens regardless of HW/SW rendering, the emulogs are the same.

To replicate it: put VU round mode to "positive". Start game, skip the intro videos until the first loading screen. Loading apparently freezes in the middle and at this point the emulator does not respond normally anymore.

Below is a snippet of the emulog:

I'll try to make it crash with default VU settings.

[gregory38]

Does 1.2 have a similar behavior?

I removed the gsdx tag because remaining issue seems to be VU related.

[rz5]

On default settings, using the SW renderer, letting the game run until the main menu it will crash. I have Visual Studio installed, so Windows will prompt me to debug it. The call stack has the following:

´´´´

GSdx32-AVX.dll!1004d308() Unknown [Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for GSdx32-AVX.dll]
GSdx32-AVX.dll!1004bd0a() Unknown GSdx32-AVX.dll!1006b630() Unknown GSdx32-AVX.dll!1006b568() Unknown GSdx32-AVX.dll!1007b378() Unknown GSdx32-AVX.dll!10071739() Unknown GSdx32-AVX.dll!1006b48b() Unknown GSdx32-AVX.dll!1007b0e1() Unknown GSdx32-AVX.dll!10016c11() Unknown pcsx2.exe!00d6e849() Unknown pcsx2.exe!0101dc45() Unknown pcsx2.exe!00e105e8() Unknown [External Code] pcsx2.exe!00e105e8() Unknown pcsx2.exe!00e11b02() Unknown [External Code]

´´´´ I'll try 1.2 stable now.

[gregory38]

Without debugging symbol it is useless. We don't understand more than you the above trace ;)

[rz5]

1.2 also crashes in about the same area of the game.

[refractionpcsx2]

What about 1.0? Also what is the result if you run the game on the newest Git build with SuperVU?

[rz5]

Newest Git build, with SuperVU and round mode on Positive makes it hang as well, emulog is the same as what I posted above. Should be noted that these are 3 separate bugs present on the latest git build, running this game: 1) The missing ground textures bug can be fixed with default settings, VU round mode on Nearest; 2) The emulator freezes while loading assets if VU round mode is on Positive; 3) The emulator crashes on the main menu with default settings (based on the call stack, that's GSdx at fault).

What should I test with 1.0?

[refractionpcsx2]

if it works :P

[rz5]

On 1.0: Missing ground textures can't be fixed by playing with VU round mode anymore; Still becomes unresponsive if you start it with VU round mode set to Positive; No longer crashes on main menu with default settings, it eventually starts playing a trailer.

[refractionpcsx2]

well thats different. Playing with the round mode will break a lot of games, so because one setting breaks it, that is not part of the problem, just so you are aware, we're only concerned if things are broken in chop/zero and if any other setting happens to improve things

[willkuer]

Well pcsx2 gui isnt supposed to freeze if you play with rounding modes, or?

[refractionpcsx2]

I think he means the game freezes up rather than the whole emulator, although that's possible too as it might be spamming millions of errors

[rz5]

If you boot up GUN while VU round mode is on positive, the game freezes. If you try to exit or shutdown, it doesn't work; try to exit or shutdown again and the whole emulator goes down. Here's last lines of the emulog when that happens, I enabled all log sources plus the dev/verbose stuff:

microVU1: Cached Prog = [009] [PC=0040] [List=02] (Cache=0.022%) [0.0mb]
microVU1: Cached Prog = [010] [PC=03f0] [List=01] (Cache=0.022%) [0.0mb]
microVU1: Cached Prog = [011] [PC=01c0] [List=01] (Cache=0.022%) [0.0mb]
microVU1: Cached Prog = [012] [PC=01e0] [List=01] (Cache=0.022%) [0.0mb]
microVU1: D-bit set! PC = ab8
microVU1: Branch Optimization
microVU1: D-bit set! PC = ab8
microVU1: Branch Optimization
microVU1: D-bit set! PC = ab8
microVU1: Branch Optimization
microVU1: D-bit set! PC = b10

At this point I try to shutdown.

(pxEvtQueue:CoreThreadMethod) Posting event! (pending=0, idle=0)
(pxEvtQueue:CoreThreadMethod) Executing... [Noncancelable]

Game is frozen but GUI is still reponsive, I try to exit.

(pxEvtQueue:VoidMethod) Posting event! (pending=0, idle=0)
(pxEvtQueue:VoidMethod) Posting event! (pending=1, idle=0)

Everything is now frozen.

With default settings, as soon as you get to the main menu and the little animation plays, the console starts getting spammed with:

Gif Unit - GS packet size exceeded VU memory size!
Gif Unit - GS packet size exceeded VU memory size!
Gif Unit - GS packet size exceeded VU memory size!
Gif Unit - GS packet size exceeded VU memory size!
Gif Unit - GS packet size exceeded VU memory size!

Setting VU round mode to Nearest while that's happening makes the spam stop.

[refractionpcsx2]

okay, but what I said still applies, round modes other than chop/zero are likely to make problems worse so its no indication of the problem. If negative helps, that's great, that's a bonus.

[rz5]

I built a debug build. I'm letting GUN load up to the main menu and I'm getting a couple of failed assertions that keep getting spammed:

GSSState.cpp:508 - Expression: !std::isnan(m_v.ST.S)

GSSState.cpp:509 - Expression: !std::isnan(m_v.ST.T)

[gregory38]

@refractionpcsx2 For information, rz5 tryied to run a debug build. Various assertion in GSdx were hit. Honestly it feels like VU send garbage to the GS.

[refractionpcsx2]

It's quite possible. Okay will be worth a look, we will reclassify it as a VU bug for now

[refractionpcsx2]

What I forgot to ask 6 months ago was do you get a bunch of assertions with the rounding mode set to "Nearest" as that seems to fix the graphics.

Also I can't quite work out from the comments, does Nearest make the game crash or just positive? If it's the latter, I might just put a GameDB entry in for this.

Pinging @rz5

[rz5]

I'm reading my comments again and for this game, setting VU rounding to 'Nearest' fixes the missing textures/polys and prevents crashes, at least in the very first area of the game.

Setting VU rounding to either 'Positive' or 'Chop/Zero' breaks graphics AND will eventually make the game crash.

[refractionpcsx2]

Okay in that case, if you can provide a CRC (if the game is not in our compat list) then I'll add it to the GameDB to force the game to use Nearest rounding :)

Why do you need the game's CRC ?

[refractionpcsx2]

Why do you need the game's CRC ?

because the patches link by the CRC of the game, not the ELF name as games can share ELF name, but sharing CRC is very unlikely.

Unless I'm seriously confused, the GameDB only applies the rounding/clamping options based on the Serial/ELF name/ Region , not the hexadecimal CRC value. I think you got it mixed up with CRC hacks on GSDX ?

Though the GameDB can still have patches specific to certain CRC's. but only patches, not core options like clamping/rounding.

You're right, I am slightly confused, I don't need the CRC for that, however the GameDB does have patches specific to CRC's, but they are for code patching, not changing options, which require nothing but the section in the DB which should already be there.

[refractionpcsx2]

Now live in the GameDB :)
