Description

  1. The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword SOUE01

2) What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Textures to be in the background, not overlayed on top of link.

Dx9 works fine:http://i.imgur.com/nPP1H.jpg
Dx11 has the issue:http://i.imgur.com/QAKOb.jpg

Tried rolling back the change that fixed the banding, isssue was still present.
Might be related to this graphical anomaly:http://i.imgur.com/QAKOb.jpg

3) Did the game ever work correctly (i.e. not have this problem) on an
earlier version of dolphin? Please specify the exact revision when the
problem began.

4) What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Enter the room in the pirate base in lanaryu desert.
2.
3.

5) What version of dolphin are you using (32bit/64bit along with the
version as it appears in the title bar, etc)?
On what operating system, drivers, and hardware? Be sure to list OS,
graphics driver information, and video card model if you are having
graphics problems, for example.
64bit,228-ICC

6) Please provide any additional information below.

Wrong link for the possibly related image:http://i.imgur.com/g8tOK.jpg is the correct one.

Can you upload a save just before this point in the game so that we can reproduce the bug easily?

Uploading now, its ~40Mb will take a few minutes

Entrance is to the right iirc.

My understanding was you just drop them into whatever folder contains "574d3545" under the "Dolphin/Wii/Titles" area.

TCR + DX11 does not use the same format for EFB to Texture Z16L copies. That may be why it is not happening on TCR. However I don't know why it's not happening with other backends on current master.

so this isn't a new bug then

can be closed or merged with the other many "game has issue with efb to texture" bugs.

I'm not sure I understood the issue you're talking about. If it's about the collision bug where link is walking through the floor, I can tell that this also happens regularly with EFB to RAM. I played and finished the game with DX11 and EFB to RAM and still regularly got that bug in the places that get modified by those stones.

@kraz. This is not a collision bug, Link is not walking through the floor. The depth buffer is incorrectly offset, causing part of the scene to be drawn on top of existing geometry, therefore creating the illusion that Link is tunneling through objects. How ever this is not the case and if you select EFB to RAM the scene renders correctly. I presume you had EFB to Texture if you saw the incorrect depth effect. Would you be able to double check ?

Actions #10

Updated by nop_jne almost 13 years ago

I've made some progress in figuring out what is creating this artifact.

The depth copy shader in dx11 assumes it can shift up the values from the 24bit Depth buffer and distribute that into a (Z24X8) color buffer without loss of precision. This works on Dx9 but has inaccuracies on dx11. This manifests itself like this:
Orig Value| (frac(x * 255.0f) / 255.0f)
0.998059 | 1.0f | <-- this error creates a (hard line) artifact
0.998054 | 0.996078 | <-- acceptable error

Food for thought: These crude mods to the depth copy shader, reduce the artifacts which are up close, but at the same time introduce others. (This does not handle artifacts which are futher away.)
const char depth_matrix_program_msaa[] = {
"sampler samp0 : register(s0);\n"
"Texture2DMS<float4, %d> Tex0 : register(t0);\n"
"uniform float4 cColMatrix[7] : register(c0);\n"
"void main(\n"
"out float4 ocol0 : SV_Target,\n"
" in float4 pos : SV_Position,\n"
" in float2 uv0 : TEXCOORD0){\n"
"int width, height, samples;\n"
"Tex0.GetDimensions(width, height, samples);\n"
"float4 texcol = 0;\n"
"for(int i = 0; i < samples; ++i)\n"
" texcol += Tex0.Load(int2(uv0.x*(width), uv0.y*(height)), i);\n"
"texcol /= samples;\n"
"float4 EncodedDepth = frac((texcol.r) * float4(1.0f,256.0f,256.0f*256.0f,15.0f));\n"
"EncodedDepth.r = texcol.r * 1.0019f;"
"texcol = EncodedDepth ;\n"
"ocol0 = float4(dot(texcol,cColMatrix[0]),dot(texcol,cColMatrix[1]),dot(texcol,cColMatrix[2]),dot(texcol,cColMatrix[3])) + cColMatrix[4];\n"
"}\n"
};

Still exists as of 4.0-112, DX11, 64-bit. To clarify, it's not just in the pirate base. It seems to be in dungeons where Timeshift Stones are activated in general.

Heads up: Since the glsl-master merge from 3.5-1025, the issue now appears in OpenGL mode as well. Hacked Buffer Upload/Vertex Streaming Hack has no effect. Only DX9 will work past 3.5-1025 for this issue.

Can someone please record a fifo log of this issue?

I started the recording just before I activated a Timeshift Stone where the issue occurs, and ran for a bit while the effect was active.

Confirmed velocity's findings via fifolog. It happens in OpenGL now too.

Also, why wasn't this accepted? Seriously it's been reproduced a hundred times. >_<

Actions #17

Updated by velocity7 about 11 years ago

Sorry about the huge 700-frame FIFO thing there. I've made some 10-frame versions instead to better illustrate the issue:

http://www.mediafire.com/?g955e5sqjw553ta -- Timeshift Stone inactive
http://www.mediafire.com/?z76zmg9bos8415v -- Timeshift Stone active
http://www.mediafire.com/?3ab0a27tda6i68p -- Timeshift Stone active, static

Just a word of note, I'm thinking that only Timeshift Stones that move actually have this issue. Ones that are fixed in place don't appear to cause this problem.

Actions #18

Updated by velocity7 about 11 years ago

As a heads up, since D3D9 has been removed as of 4.0-155, there won't be any workarounds for the time being. If anyone is annoyed with the issue, please use 4.0-146 or earlier.

I'm checking the fifos and they appear to render correctly when you have EFB2Ram on. I don't have a savestate in a newer version to check it in game myself.

Matches Software Renderer and Matches D3D9 on EFB2Texture.

Updated by JMC4789 almost 11 years ago

Also, the other EFB2Ram issues (character problems, at least) except for the blurring of the background have been solved. This area works fine on EFB2Ram. The only thing troubling is that it worked on EFB2Tex on D3D9 and Old OGL, but that could have been from things not being emulated, making it so the effect it's pulling off works by coincidence.

Actions #21

Updated by Autoran1 almost 11 years ago

You're right old OGL renders it correctly with EFB2Tex, and the code somewhere inside the OLD GLSL-master revs

Actions #22

Updated by Autoran1 almost 11 years ago

Rev GLSL-master 616 made it look this way

This is clearly the texturecache issue
according to my tests only changes to texturecache made this look different,
first time this was broken by r7cec31dbf3af, many thing were changed since than but it's still the same piece of code
so i've made a little patch
it fixes Issue 7007, and almost fixes this one for OGL
it seems galop1n made smth equal in his unreleased code to fix it for D3D

Actions #25

Updated by degasus over 10 years ago

Autoran: sorry, this patch is invalid. But as it affect this issue, it's likely because of a broken efb2tex depth shader. They aren't tested well :/

Actions #26

Updated by JMC4789 over 10 years ago

It's likely whatever galop1n did to fix Skyward Sword fixed the fog in the other issues, then?
