Minor graphical bugs occurring with d3d8to9

Open BC46 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

While playing Freelancer with d3d8to9, there are several minor graphical bugs that occur:

  • Flickering background textures when opening the ship dealer menu (only lasts a few frames)
  • Broken ship shadows

Neither of these graphical bugs happen without d3d8to9.

I've looked at several other DX8 to DX9 wrappers, and some of them didn't seem to have the shadow bug. However, all of them do have the flickering background textures when the ship dealer menu is opened.

These issues don't appear to be present in the latest DxWrapper version.

Turns out it doesn't exactly fix the problems mentioned in the issue. Both problems still appear to be present after having another look. However, I figured out that the flickering background is actually caused by a patch in the MP Rep plugin.
