Description

Game Name?

Super Paper Mario

Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, properties, info tab)

R8PE01

MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, properties, info tab, MD5 Hash: Compute)

Not sure - can't find this on Android

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When I enter Chapter 1-3, the Pixl Thoreau is present, but after I progress through the next door, he disappears and is not longer usable. Exiting and re-entering the area doesn't seem to help.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Progress through the game until you reach Chapter 1-3. Then, proceed to the left and through the door at the end. When you appear in the next area, Thoreau will be gone.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Not sure - I have the version from the Play Store.
5.0-8991

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

Yes, version 5.0.

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

This seems to be resolved by choosing GFX Settings > Hacks and unchecking "Defer EFB Copies to RAM".

Are you sure it's just not bounding box being non-functional on Android.

I got it fixed! make sure your backend is set correctly (Vulkan for AMD GPU, OpenGL for nvidia GPU), and make sure you arent using Vsync and that defer to ram is off in the top of grpahics/hacks.

Defer EFB Copies in RAM is disabled by default by https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/a393a18f51c58fc7441ee0f183c5e00f1f611fb0/. Leaving open in case more investigation is needed.
