The D3D backend was always forcing Anisotropic filtering when that is enabled regardless of how the game chose to configure the texture filtering registers; this causes the same issues as "Force Filtering" without Anisotropy, such as causing game UI elements to no longer line up adjacent correctly. Historically, OpenGL's Anisotropy support has always worked "better" than D3D's due to seeming to not have this problem; unfortunately, OpenGL's Anisotropy specification only gives GL_LINEAR based filtering modes defined behavior, with only the mipmap setting being required to be considered. Some OpenGL implementations were implicitly disabling Anisotropy when the min/mag filters were set to GL_NEAREST, but this behavior is not required by the spec so cannot be relied on.
This should get Donkey Kong Country Returns characters to be as broken as they should be. They will be fixed in a later pr.
Expected result is:
efbtex: characters are always flickering or invisible, no matter what scaling or IR setting
efb2ram: characters are always working properly at 1xIR, no matter what scaling or IR setting

Approximately three or four times now, the issue of pointers being
in an inconsistent state been an issue in the video backend renderers
with regards to tripping up other developers.
Global (ugh) resources are put into a unique_ptr and will always have a
well-defined state of being - null or not null
This was due to specifying negative source coordinates for the texture copy, which must lie within the bounds of the source and destination textures.
The behavior now is to clamp the copy region to [0 <= size <= backbuffer size], resulting in a copy region that can be smaller than the backbuffer, but never larger.
Since ResolveSubresource cannot be used with depth textures (and throws an error with the debug layer enabled), use a shader which selects the minimum depth value from all samples.
Changes the sampler by XFBEncoder to use a linear filter, rather than point, to match GL behavior.
They were only called at once, so no need to seperate them.
This also removes the only dereference of the NativeVertexFormat in VideoCommon, so backends may just return nullptr.
Removed Quality Levels from D3D AA options
Dropdown text now shows whether you're applying MSAA or SSAA
Added a description for SSAA
Moved SSAA checkbox
Cleaned up AA in backends slightly. Supported modes is now a list of ints.
Instead of blindly using the expected width, clamp it to the stride of the
buffer which dx11 returns. This prevents use from reading invalid memory
at the end of textures.
This doesn't solve the base issue of what to do when a game tries to copy
from outside the efb. On real hardware it returns random noise (biased
to all ones)
Instead of having special case code for efb2tex that ignores hashes,
the only diffence between efb2tex and efb2ram now is that efb2tex
writes zeros to the memory instead of actual texture data.
Though keep in mind, all efb2tex copies will have hashes of zero as
their hash.
Addded a few duplicated depth copy texture formats to the enum
in TextureDecoder.h. These texture formats were already implemented
in TextureCacheBase and the ogl/dx11 texture cache implementations.
SSAA relies on MSAA being active to work. We only supports 4x SSAA while in fact you can enable SSAA at any MSAA level.
I even managed to run 64xMSAA + SSAA on my Quadro which made some pretty sleek looking games. They were very cinematic though.
With this, it properly fixes up SSAA and MSAA support in GLES as well. Before they were broken when stereo rendering was enabled.
Now in GLES they can properly support MSAA and also stereo rendering with MSAA enabled(with proper extensions).
I tried to change messages that contained instructions for users,
while avoiding messages that are so technical that most users
wouldn't understand them even if they were in the right language.
This drops the "feature" to load level 0 from the custom texture
and all other levels from the native one if the size matches.
But in my opinion, when a custom texture only provide one level,
no more should be used at all.
A number of games make an EFB copy in I4/I8 format, then use it as a
texture in C4/C8 format. Detect when this happens, and decode the copy on
the GPU using the specified palette.
This has a few advantages: it allows using EFB2Tex for a few more games,
it, it preserves the resolution of scaled EFB copies, and it's probably a
bit faster.
D3D only at the moment, but porting to OpenGL should be straightforward..
Rendering EFB textures currently crashes with the D3D backend when MSAA is enabled, because the depth texture wasn't correctly resolved. An example for a crash would be starting Pokemon Snap with D3D and MSAA enabled.
Make sure we don't have a texture bound as both an ShaderResourceView and
a RenderTargetView; this causes rendering glitches.
This isn't really the right place to do this... but I'm not sure
how the code should be structured.
- Calculate ZSlope every flush but only set PixelShader Constant on Reset Buffer when zfreeze
- Fixed another Pixel Shader bug in D3D that was giving me grief
Results are still not correct, but things are getting closer.
* Don't cull CULLALL primitives so early so they can be used as reference
planes.
* Convert CalculateZSlope to screenspace coordinates.
* Convert Pixelshader to screenspace coordinates (instead of worldspace
xy coordinates, which is totally wrong)
* Divide depth by 2^24 instead of clamping to 0.0-1.0 as was done
before.
Progress:
* Rouge Squadron 2/3 appear correct in game (videos in rs2 save file
selection are missing)
* Shadows draw 100% correctly in NHL 2003.
* Mario golf menu renders correctly.
* NFS: HP2, shadows sometimes render on top of car or below the road.
* Mario Tennis, courts and shadows render correctly, but at wrong depth
* Blood Omen 2, doesn't work.
Based on the feedback from pull request #1767 I have put in most of
degasus's suggestions in here now.
I think we have a real winner here as moving the code to
VertexManagerBase for a function has allowed OGL to utilize zfreeze now
:)
Correct use of the vertex pointer has also corrected most of the issue
found in pull request #1767 that JMC47 stated. Which also for me now
has Mario Tennis working with no polygon spikes on the characters
anymore! Shadows are still an issue and probably in the other games
with shadow problems. Rebel Strike also seems better but random skybox
glitches can show up.
Initial port of original zfreeze branch (3.5-1729) by neobrain into
most recent build of Dolphin.
Makes Rogue Squadron 2 very playable at full speed thanks to recent core
speedups made to Dolphin. Works on DirectX Video plugin only for now.
Enjoy! and Merry Xmas!!
Allows the UI to easily check the current exclusive mode state.
This simplifies a few checks and prevents the user from ever getting stuck in fullscreen.
The maths appears to give crazy impossible answers without this fix, but the cause is all the ints being "promoted" to unsigned because of the single unsigned division at the end.
The result might be a little iffy in complicated situations (i.e. you have
three graphics cards and monitors hooked up to two of them), but we really
need better UI for such cases anyway.
This reverts an optimization which isn't worth imo. Every texture uploads have to alloc vram and a staging buffer, so there is no need to do both in the same call.
This change matches the behaviour of OpenGL.
This should make Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 3 stretch across the whole
screen. There are other games with this same issue but I have not any.
See issue #6750 for details
