What happens on a real console?

See the video clip from my last update - as the character walks up the stairs his shadow is consistently rendered. That is also how it displays on a real console.

I checked in 4.0 and I can see the shadow issues there too, I'll test on console later.

note: when walking up and down stairs the shadows look fine, like the ones outside of the apartment. But on the curb I can definitely see a little weirdness.

I believe that is because the stairs outside of the apartment are only a series of horizontal surfaces, with gaps in between each of them. On "full" stairs, like those inside the first level mansion, the character shadow will jerk back and forth unnaturally.

I've also tried the following settings:

• enable anisotropic filtering
• force texture filtering
• disable texture filtering

None of these seemed to change anything. I don't think there's any other settings I could try. Let me know if there's something I missed.

I don't own the game myself, but could it be a depth issue? Maybe try turning on/off Fast Depth in the graphics settings?

I have it disabled globally. I tested the game with every hack disabled just to make sure, and also tried toggling Scaled EFB Copy on and off.

Sorry I misread this post at first. I went ahead and tried enabling Fast Depth, and also sliding Bounding Box to CPU and GPU, but none of those settings fixed it.

I'm closing this issue as such, if you think the road issue is big, then feel free to report that, but on console I did see a small gap between the road and mansion at a long distance.

My memory is not as reliable as I assumed it was. I was sure the shadow issues were a regression, but after reconnecting my own console and playing the game again - the behavior is the same. I won't report new issues in the future unless I'm more certain.

Regarding the road reflection issue in the opening cinematic - I'm seeing a similar effect as you reported. On the real console there is a very small gap where the road meets the mansion. It's a much larger affected area on Dolphin.

I don't think this is a "big" issue by itself, unless it shows up at other places in the game.
