Graphical issues with Soul Calibur #364

Open JacobAL opened 8 years ago

JacobAL commented 8 years ago

On the old renderer, many textures don't show up and trying fixes like disable opaque/translucent and disable autosort just make the menus look worse rather than fix anything.

Not sure with the new renderer because it brings up massive scanlines that make the game very difficult to play. Any way to fix that?

p1pkin commented 8 years ago

yeah, it is very simple and obvious: never install new version into folder with some previous version files, never put .ini or other files from older version into new one.

this will fix both mentioned issues (and potentially TONS of other problems)

This is my first install of demul.

Interestingly though, playing on my laptop has none of the same graphical glitches. Is it because I have an Nvidia card on the PC but AMD on the laptop?

Maybe I'll try reinstalling.

hard to say for sure, but yes, yours problem looks like graphics card and/or it's drivers specific.

JacobAL commented 8 years ago

Ah well, what a shame. It's only SC that's been having issues so far so it's not a massive issue.

p1pkin commented 8 years ago

can you tell your GPU model and driver version ?

JacobAL commented 8 years ago

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card Driver is the most recent but I can get you the full details of it in a little while. I'll get a picture of what's going on with the graphics too.

Interestingly, the new renderer is now allowing me to play SC in VGA mode which may be because I just switched from using CDIs to GDIs. I think that since the game (if booted once and no more times) seems to work fine now with the new renderer, there is no issue for me any more.

Thanks for the help, sorry to have troubled you.

that's the problem, there is still some bugs in emulator, so after Stop/Start such artifacts can be seen on NV GPUs. try to avoid this. thanks for pics and info.
