[Wiki] Settings for flickering logo/black bar bug #126

Closed SkyNinja closed 1 month ago

SkyNinja commented 1 year ago

So, after experimenting for an hour or two, I found that, in my case at least, setting Deterministic dual core to none eliminated the flickering logo bug in-game and kept the full performance improvements of dual core. From there, I found that enabling Immediately Present XFB fixed the purple loading screen and no longer resulted in the black bar.

These settings may not work for everyone, but they do have the game (Trilogy) running at full speed with none of the visual bugs that dual core can cause without Synchronize GPU thread enabled.

As it turns out, this is also inconsistent. It helped on several runs, but sometimes these issues still occur. However, before changing "Deterministic dual core", it was constant. Now, it's just occasional, so it seems to alleviate the issues somewhat.

The wiki settings were tailored to solve these problems for "most" machines and so unfortunately tweaking is still required in some cases, but we know a lot more about how these settings and dual core related bugs occur now. We intend on updating the wiki at a later date.
