List of games with graphics rendering issues using mali gpu with vulkan backend #15016

What should happen

Some games have graphics glitch on mali-gpu using vulkan backend but I found a workaround to fix them.

The Simpsons Game Also Have Graphics Glitch Using Vulkan. Screenshot_2021-10-14-08-38-56-700_org ppsspp ppsspp

WorkAround I found to help those games is by adding them to compat.ini PixelDepthRounding Midnight Club L.A Remix Screenshot_2021-10-14-08-48-53-196_org ppsspp ppsspp

Silent Hill Shattered Memories also have problem using vulkan the flashlight doesn't shine the road.

Workaround is to add this game to ReinterpretFramebuffers fix the flashlight Screenshot_2021-10-11-05-20-44-424_org ppsspp ppsspp

Are PixelDepthRounding and ReinterpretFramebuffers supposed to affects Vulkan only? or will it cause issue on other Renderer or Non-Mali? Because if the Mali bugs exist on Vulkan only.. may be you shouldn't choose Vulkan on these buggy GPU?

But it's nice to know what's fixed them :) so may be the devs can make a better workaround specific for these GPU

I don't know other gpu if affected by this issue.

Vulkan perform better on my phone :)

Yes I hope hrydgard and unknown find a proper fix so that I don't need to use those workaround.

Peter Jackson KingKong also having flickering on terrain textures, but fix by adding this game to PixelDepthRounding compat.ini

PixelDepthRounding OFF

PixelDepthRounding ON

That flickering on the terrain textures looks like z-fighting, it's common to happen even on PC games, usually expanding the z-buffer bit size/width fixes this kind of issue, but may affect the performance

unknownbrackets commented 3 years ago

I assume the "fix" here is actually forcing early z tests off. We could try forcing NO_DEPTH_CANNOT_DISCARD_STENCIL on for Mali as well.

We do currently explicitly output layout (early_fragment_tests) in, and maybe that's causing some problem in these cases? I had done that to hopefully push renders to give us better performance, but maybe there are cases where it's unsafe?

PixelDepthRounding is a temporary workaround for this.

MotorStorm Artic Edge overlay graphic glitches.

Can be work around via DisableAccurateDepth.

The new compat.ini MaliDepthStencilBugWorkaround fixes the Simpsons Game and Suikoden: Woven Web of The Centuries but didn't fix Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and Surf Up :(

ghost commented 2 years ago

I cannot test Megamind and BadAss Rumble because I don't have those games anymore.

hrydgard commented 2 years ago

Alright, I managed to improve the workaround to make it work with Surf's Up and Kenka Bancho - Badass Rumble too.

hrydgard commented 2 years ago

@Gamemulatorer Can you check if it works with Suikoden and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha too, and if so, make me some compat.ini entries? Don't have frame dumps of those.

Yes it also fixes Nanoha Magical Girl (ULJS-00385). Thank you so much 🎉

hrydgard commented 2 years ago

Thanks!

I'm taking this one off the 1.13 milestone now then.

ghost commented 2 years ago

How about Silent Hill Shattered Memories added to ReinterpretFramebuffers fix the flashlight?

hrydgard commented 2 years ago

Hm, but does it? When I tried the flashlight was still pretty bad. Though, I might have tried the other Silent Hill game.

Either way those games need a lot more work, which I do plan to do.

Yes it's fixes the flashlight issue atleast on my phone.

ghost commented 2 years ago

All of the games I mentioned here is now finally fixed so closing this..
