I'm having some issues with this game.

Playing on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3
3.5-stable: no issues
3.5-2259: there's all kinds of weird reflections.
When using any set internal resolution, including 1x native res, the reflections are present full-screen and windowed.
When using 'window size' or 'auto: multiple' IR, the reflections are present full-screen but not when windowed.

I'm thinking it could be the GLSL changes, but it might be something else.
Of course, I am using OS X's OpenGL implementation on an Intel chip (HD5000) which isn't the best testing environment.
As of right now, I cannot check the DX 9 / 11 back-ends to see if the same issue is present.
I could make a bug report, but I'm not sure how helpful it can be without access to the other back-ends.

Also, "The game shaders are very buggy at least on Mac build." is mentioned on the wiki,
but I'm thinking that was a separate issue with older builds and older Intel drivers causing blackened/buggy rendering.

Note: none of the enhancements/hacks had any effect on this glitch. Nor did 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio (nor did the widescreen hack).
Always the same thing happens, except windowed in IR:auto/window size

Full screen 'window size IR'

Full screen 'auto: multiple of' IR

Windowed with auto/window size (windowed on any set IR, including 1x native gives same reflection bug)

You wouldn't happen to be able to install windows would you?

You also should test to see if it was GLSL that did this, by testing these 2 versions:

http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/builds/dolphin-master-3.5-1025.dmg (GLSL)
http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/builds/dolphin-master-3.5-663.dmg (Before GLSL)

Yep, it doesn't happen with the pre-GLSL build, it does with the ones after
OS X reports Intel HD drivers 8.14.50, which could have a role in this all.

I'll test OpenGL on another computer with an Nvidia card now to see if I can replicate it.
Edit: looks like it's just OSX crappy drivers in combination with the GLSL changes. other hardware works fine.

I don't see anything wrong at 1:35+, but I do at 1:55+, I wonder if this happens in other languages?

Change safe texture cache setting to a safer value.

In the value more safe don't fix, EFBtoRAM neither.
