Description

From many many revision, from 5000 about to last revision 5555, as it'is
possible to see in image, there are two black square that cover a good part
of screen, and it's unplayable, or it's very hard to play! I thought that
this issue was already reported!

For now I can't test because I cannot use my pc only my notebook! In fact in last time I can't test anything and I'm not commenting commits and issues!:(

Tried r6689 with DX9, DX11 and OpenGL and the issue is still there (64 bit).

This issue exists with the sequel, de Blob 2 as well, which is otherwise highly playable. In de Blob 2 it is a single black box.

With copy on, it is partially translucent, and mirrors parts of the environment.
With copy off, it is opaque.

There is a list of other Wii games using the Havok engine here:

If anyone could test one or more for the same problem, I'm sure it would be helpful to the developers.

Tested r7238 on Linux_x64 using JIT and JITIL.

I think the black box has something to do with the incorrect representation horizon.

Does the texture still show up in the upper left if you play at native resolution?

Actions #19

Updated by GuilhermeGaga almost 13 years ago

Yes the problem is still there in native resolution.

Looks much better after r08a9c6603712
here's the screen EFB to RAM required

EFB to Texture looks the same as ever

Updated by GuilhermeGaga about 12 years ago

Yeah, but now the problem it's the same in revision 3.0-791, or b2e2e49fe497, this is still not playable due this issue. Too bad, this game rocks.

I think i've found the source of this issue
The game was improved in reb01a110c957 ,look's lie it requires more Texture Preloading investigations

Actions #23

Updated by NeoBrainX about 12 years ago

Do you have some comparison screenshots? Texture preloading support indeed is not finished yet, but I'm not sure if that's the actual issue here.

Actions #24

Updated by Autoran1 about 12 years ago

Ok, here we go
Backend: Doesn't matter
EFB to RAM: must be ON

and the next one reb01a110c957 -410

I think the difference is obvious:)

Hm, this cries for a Video_Software implementation of texture preloading. An actual fix in the hardware accelerated backends will be more time demanding.

Btw you're doing an amazing job helping us out with issues this :)

Glad to help:)

Software render look's the same r6f21f5eb3434

Maybe the problem is common

Actions #28

Updated by NeoBrainX about 12 years ago

Video_Software is now using the same (incomplete) code like the other backends, that commit was just meant as a starting point for further work when I actually have time to think about it :P

No changes using tmem_rgba8 branch.

The branch tried to fix the issue in Video_Software, only, but wasn't finished (that's why I deleted my comment again).

I've done some extensive tests on real hardware and (after working around a bug in libogc) was able to figure out how the feature is supposed to work on real HW. http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h325/no_cluez/de_blob_rgba8_tmem.png?t=1357825675 shows a screenshot of some of my local changes ;)

Revision 304814e7cc fixes this issue in Video_Software.

Revision e7c883d6be59 implements similar (and functional) support in the hw backends, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to fix the issue :|

Actions #32

Updated by Autoran1 almost 12 years ago

Issue is fixed for HW backends too, game just requires EFB to RAM to work fine

Actions #33

Updated by NeoBrainX almost 12 years ago

Heh awesome, I wonder why I did not think of enabling that :p

I'll fix the game ini tomorrow, then this issue can be closed.

tomorrow/today/whatever. Fixed.
