What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

[There is graphical glitches instead of a small amount of water on the ground]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

[in the first area of the game, go inside the temple, make it all the way to the door that needs three pressure plates pressed. On the ground, there should be a faint amount of water. You can easily walk through said water. The problem is the water nor the rest of the floor render correctly.]

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/No and version number here]

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

[Yes, 2412-340]

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.)

[N/A]

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)

[RTX3090TI, AMD Ryzen 9 3900x, Windows 10, 32GB RAM]

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

[Anything else here]

This needs to be added to "GL8.ini", though it does hurt performance. Do we want that?
