Silent Hill Origins flickering black dots on bottom right of screen

tkolek commented 2 years ago

What happens?

While playing Silent Hill Origins, the bottom right portion of the screen has black dots, seemingly some sort of texture, flickering. It does not remain the same size horizontally, seemingly randomly changing between two sizes, but vertically looks to stay the same.

What should happen?

I assume these should not be there or some other texture should be displaying.

What are you using?

What hardware / device and operating system?

Windows 10

What graphics card (GPU) or mobile phone model?

Nvidia RTX 3080

What PPSSPP version (standalone/official), and did it work before?

latest - 1.12.1

Which game or games?

Silent Hill Origins US version

This screenshot shows that the dots show on top of text. ULUS10285_00002

This one shows the dot area being a different size as well as being able to see it better with the more brightly colored background. ULUS10285_00003

Interestingly, changing from Direct X 11 to Vulkan seems to fix it. Any idea what may be happening here that this change fixes it? Or just an odd rendering difference between them?

The black pattern is mentioned here so might be the same underlying issue: #6265.

Interesting. The images in that post seem to be showing textures on objects in the scene with these odd dots whereas mine seemed to be a texture on the screen/camera itself. It's possible they're related.

I'm planning a bigger effort to fix the graphics of both silent hill games soon, sometime after the 1.13 release process.

Unlikely to help this one, but I guess you never know.
