Description

Game Name?
Beyond Good and Evil

Game ID?
GGEE41

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
All dynamic text in the game (that is, text that is rendered using a font bitmap and a texcoord atlas) is jumbled when using the JIT core, presumably because the texcoords are being improperly calculated. This causes all text to be unreadable.
Switching to JIT-IL core will solve the issue. I have not tried it with interpreter.

What did you expect to happen instead?
The text would be readable

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Start up the game and look at the main menu

Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?

4.0.0: Text renders properly
4.0-1192: Text is jumbled
4.0-1761: Text is jumbled

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
4.0.0 works perfectly with both recompilers. I have not tried 4.0.2

What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
Win7 x64, AMD Phenom X4 3.15ghz, Geforce 9800GT

Are you using the 32 or the 64 bit version of Dolphin?
64 bit

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)

Thanks for the clear bug report.

If you have the time, could you track down exactly which revision broke it?

I should also clarify: Changing the video backend doesn't fix the issue. Using Interpreter shows the correct output.

I traced the source of the regression to 4.0-971 "Fix Non-IEEE mode".

The same build also broke collision detection pretty badly in a few places of BG&E. I haven't noticed it affecting many other games though. Should I file that as a separate bug?

Looks like this isn't the only game that regressed due to 4.0-971:

I have a Phenom X4 640 (no SSE3 support), if that matters.

Can you provide more CPU information please? You appear to be running a slight overclock or something, the only results I get searching for the CPU you described is... you, posting on the Dolphin forums. Furthermore, most phenoms are in the 800 range, the only ones in the 600 range I can find are athlons or mobile dual core chips. Considering this is likely an SSE related issue, we really need accurate CPU specs on your chip.

A screenshot from CPU-Z would be great.

You're correct, it is a slight overclock. The stock speed is 3.0ghz.

O_O

Curious. It has SSE3 and SSE4a, but no SSE4. Hmm...
