Twilight Princess: black screen around map [info updated]

[nareteng]

Hello.

I use Linux and have been using 5.0-15445 for quite some time with no issues. Recently, I decided to upgrade to 5.0-17995, so I compiled it from source (gcc 11.1.0) and installed qt6 (6.2.2) as instructed on Github. I inserted my hardware specs when registering, so I hope this info is already available.

It compiled fine, so I tested Twilight Princess with it. The issue, however, is that there's a black screen around the map that does not exist in 5.0-15445 (see attachment below). Is this issue hardware-related, qt6 related or both? I'll stick with that older beta version for the moment.

Thanks.

Are you trying to run in OpenGL or Vulkan backend?

OpenGL, my computer does not support Vulkan. Dolphin versions below 5.0-16393 run fine. My PC's specifications are very weak, so maybe this must be some limitation with qt6. In that case, I'm leaving this post online so that other people with the same problem may be redirected to beta builds 5.0-16380, 5.0-16101 and below. 5.0-15445, a beta version from 2021, still runs great on weak computers, so that's another suggestion to whomever comes across this post on similar circumstances.

Tested on my i7-3632QM on Mint 21 with Intel HD400 Mesa 22.0.5, can confirm the issue still happens on 5.0-18186.

You should be able to install Vulkan by running:

Code:

sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers libvulkan1 libvulkan-dev

Been messing with some settings, if I enable "Disable EFB VRAM Copies" the issue disappeared (but does disable all up-scaling so the game looks pretty fuzzy). The Hyrule Speed hack does not affect this.

Thank you, but I meant that my CPU is so old that the integrated GPU (HD Graphics 4000, not 400) does not support Vulkan.

I have also confirmed that enabling Disable EFB VRAM Copies fixes the minimap.

Typo on my part, the i7-3632QM has the Intel HD 4000, just like your i5-3230M, and it does support Vulkan. I am able to run the game in both Vulkan and OpenGL, but the problem is present on both backends.

Oh, I see, thanks. I actually tested Vulkan and it runs, but performance is much worse (15 fps when OpenGL maintains 30).
