Emulator Issues #13593

Passive 3D no longer works
0%
Description
Game Name?
This is for the emulator in general, all games.
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Under the Stereoscopy tab, if I select Passive, it seems to only show one eye. The image is flat, but with my 3D depth and convergence hotkeys, and can be moved a little bit. I have a Sony 4K passive 3D TV and this setting used to work very well. My desktop resolution is set at 3840 x 2160.
Side-by-side and top-and-bottom 3D modes still work, but I have to manually change my desktop resolution to 1080p, and there is a resolution drop due to the way those modes work.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Open Graphics settings
selects Enhancements tab
select Passive under Stereoscopic 3D mode
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
Yes 2407-221. I first noticed it about a month ago with 2407-43, after not using Passive 3D for a few months. I have since tried fresh installs, with a new default config file. Tried to bisect, I have gone back to versions going back to 2 years and it is no longer working. I know I was playing in passive 3d less than a year ago. I deleted and reinstalled Visual Studio.
If the issue isn't present in the latest release, 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.)
[First broken version number here (if applicable)]
If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer
[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
CPU: Intel i5-9600K
RAM: 16 GB DDR4
GPU: nvidia RTX 2070
Windows 10 64-bit
Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

When changing the 3D mode, I see log lines like:
40:40:180 VideoCommon\PostProcessing.cpp:56 E[Video]: Post-processing shader not found: C:\Users\Pokechu22\Downloads\Dolphin-x64/Sys/Shaders/Anaglyph/horizontal.glsl
and
41:17:175 VideoCommon\PostProcessing.cpp:56 E[Video]: Post-processing shader not found: C:\Users\Pokechu22\Downloads\Dolphin-x64/Sys/Shaders/Passive/dubois.glsl
and
44:10:403 VideoCommon\PostProcessing.cpp:56 E[Video]: Post-processing shader not found: C:\Users\Pokechu22\Downloads\Dolphin-x64/Sys/Shaders/dubois.glsl
It looks like it's trying to use the old value for the post-processing effect, when the effect doesn't exist for the new stereoscopic 3D mode, which just breaks things. For anaglyph, this means that initially nothing happens, but you can change the post-processing effect and then it'll properly find the shader, but there's only one value for the post-processing effect for passive 3D so interacting with the dropdown does nothing. I did get it to work by closing and re-opening Dolphin though (entirely; stopping and restarting emulation doesn't seem to be enough).
