Graphical Noise Glitch (?) on Direct3D 11 [Soul Calibur II]

[Norik]

My poor old laptop won't run this emulator properly on anything other than Direct3D. It's usually fine in terms of performance, but in some games like Soul Calibur I get this graphical glitch:





Note Ivy's outfit or Cassandra's legs. It also shows up to a lesser extent on every character's skin.

I'm not really sure what causes it or how to alleviate it. I've tinkered with every setting and the only thing that seems to help is running the game at 4x or higher resolution. However, I can't get good framerates on anything past 2x. Any ideas?

(Dolphin 5.0 on integrated graphics if that's relevant).

The problem is 2-fold. First, update to the latest dev build of Dolphin, and then go to Intel’s driver page and get the latest GPU drivers for your HD4000

I have the latest of both. That's not the issue.

Driver bug in hd 4000 and 4400.

There are some fixed builds here but they are pretty old and I haven't updated them.

So what do I do?

You can either use one of the builds in my thread for affected games or use a build older than 4.0-1288.

The patched build works. Thank you.
