Sonic adventure dx visual errors

dpetrelli · 05-20-2018, 07:33 AM #1

Hello. I started playing sonic dx on dolphin. The game is playable but I notice many errors during emulation.

There is nothing on the screen besides the fire and background. I.e there is no ring counter, time counter, text caption boxes are blank in cut scenes
And the pause menu doesn't draw at all.

Is there a setting I need to check.
What is the best way to play this

What's your device and its android version?

Is your S8 the Exynos version? If it is, the drivers in the Mali gpu tend to be buggy and could be what's causing the graphical errors in Sonic Adventure. My own device has a Mediatek chipset with a Mali gpu and it has trouble rendering certain 3d objects in dolphin properly too.

Please find out if this is a driver bug or a Dolphin bug and maybe degasus can look into it.

Does it happen on OGL but not on video software: Likely a driver bug and I am not willing to fix them. But as most reports belong in this category, you should prove that it isn't this kind of bug...

I cannot be sure. How ever its NOT Terrible. Just Minor Graphical Glitch
(I am not sure if that what OP Is talking about). The Resault Screen has No Numbers or text,
The Shield is rendered incorrectly, the water keeps flashing.

I will screen shot it

See the testing methodology that I "quoted" that is how you CAN be sure.
