Issues:

Major GPU issues Hangs on loading screen

Goes in-game now and is playable. Textures are messed up, and the physics are a bit wonky (got stuck in the geometry when I got on an elevator). Old Screenshot Old Screenshot

This should be an interesting debug case for graphics!

[Razzile]

@DrChat if it's any help people have ported marble blast ultra to PC too if you wanted to compare to what it should look like

@Razzile The unofficial PC port is not 100% faithful though. I just booted it up and there are some graphical glitches that aren't present on the Xbox. In fact, Xenia gets some things right which the PC port doesn't! Going off Xbox 360 gameplay on youtube might be best for now

Removed the screenshots as DrChat fixed quite a bit on the Vulkan backend. Some other things I didn't notice before: there's some random garbage polygons that flicker when effects are supposed to display (like dust when landing from a jump, or when using the speed item), and some lighting effects show through geometry (item glow, and end point beacon). Old Screenshot Old Screenshot Also, wonder if the hitbox/physics issues is the same as what's going on with RDR (Marston falls through the ground and instantly fails the first mission a lot). Going near the elevator on level 2 typically will be pretty buggy, and on a different level I slowly fell through the ground. Old Screenshot Edit: It seems level 6 is impossible to beat on xenia because you'll always fall through the ground.

[Razzile]

falling through the ground did happen on the 360 but you actually had to try to bug the physics engine out and I don't think it occurred on that level

[Razzile]

latest build running opengl renderer, screen split in half

the vulkan renderer meanwhile has almost no issues

still fall through the ground on a certain level as mentioned above

[SonofUgly]

The marble no longer falls through the floor, so this is playable. Only issue on the Vulkan backend that I noticed now is that the marble's reflection will start flashing on and off when there's bloom onscreen, and the pause menu will randomly flash too.

[Razzile]

since last week the game's tiles are now rendered incorrectly

[Razzile]

the mipmap stuff seems to have fixed the graphics. now indistinguishable from vanilla

[UltraSyko]

The game doesn't play any music. But plays sound effects and visually looks right

[TheUltimateOrion]

It seems that the problem with the music not playing has still not been fixed. Everything else works perfectly fine.
