[SOLVED] GEARS OF WAR (2007), the Toika turrets and birds are affected.

Open Mrblubb opened this issue 3 years ago • 32 comments

Hello, Hope you're well! Just wanted to request the very same fix for "Gears of War" on PC since it is also affected by the same bug and the turrets and birds and some terrain objects produces same artifacts on modern FX & Ryzen CPUs and utilising this "dll" doesn't seem to fix in this game.

Thanks!!

Can you take a screenshot? And what CPU do you have? If it's ryzen, try the second solution here.

Here are some screenshots with the bug in action : Gears of War Screenshot dx9 Gears of War Screenshot 2022 03 16 - 18 41 51 91 Gears of War Screenshot 2022 03 16 - 18 42 06 47 Gears of War Screenshot 2022 03 16 - 19 15 44 73

With DXVK 1.10 (dx9) : Gears of War Screenshot 2022 03 16 - 18 57 49 35 Gears of War Screenshot 2022 03 16 - 18 58 29 44 Gears of War Screenshot 2022 03 16 - 19 14 01 89

Tested on 2 systems FX8350 | NVIDIA GTX1060 6gb |511.79 | 16gb ram | Win 10 21H1 RYZEN 3900X | NVIDIA RTX 2060 8gb |511.79 | 64gbram | Win 10 21H1

Both having exact same issue.

Also setting the PSGP flag in registry doesn't seem to fix it. Edit : With Dx10 ingame there is a heavy dark blob just like Mass effect, doesn't happen with dxvk but model isn't lit just like dx9.

Also setting the PSGP flag in registry doesn't seem to fix it.

In which case, even though it looks identical to the naked eye, it's not the same issue.

In the case of mass effect and bulldozer cpus, disabling PSGP also somehow still didn't fix the problem (see #3, which we never got around to understand) On the other hand, dxvk making a difference sounds different indeed.

Thanks a lot for your attention on this! Can anything be done at this point? Any workarounds, I'm very ready to help out with any info needed.

No ideas from me.

3dnow! was very ahead of its time eh! No one imagined it'll be remembered in 2022 lol! Why o why amd doesn't include a similar into their chips. Well then, guess it'll be fixed when "it'll be fixed". Should it be logical to report this issue to DXVK repo as well ?

The problem with ME is different rounding of SSE operations, not lack of 3dnow per se. You could try to capture the game with PIX maybe (take note DX10 requires to use Vista or 7 without KB2670838)

Dxvk then doesn't like much "clueless bug reports that have only been validated in windows".
