[BUG]: Virtua Fighter 4 (flickering Pai stage)
Describe the Bug
Please fix the Pai stage (aquarium). The location is terribly flickering.
Reproduction Steps
Turn on arcade mode and go to the third location. Flickering appears in the character's intro, and for some time during the fight itself.

I am sending the log and a video showing the problem. Flickering textures appear during the intro of the Pai stages, and for the first minute of combat. Tried DX 11.12 different bios, 50/60 hz switching, different graphics settings, but nothing helps. Only works well in software mode.

is this still an issue? if so does it happen on both hardware and software renderers?
I checked and there is still flickering problem with both hw/sw.
SLUS_203.23.Virtua Fighter 4 pcsx2-v1.7.3680-windows-64bit-AVX2-Qt win 10 , intel. 1070.
8 months since the problem was reported and absolutely nothing has changed. Pai's location continues to suffer from terrible flickering. No matter if in software or hardware mode.

Sorry to hear you're not satisfied but there's been plenty of other work going on in the background.
When someone is able to, they'll look into the issue.
It's not a huge problem, although it's a bit annoying. I hope someday this issue can be solved.
Game don't like when one of functions return 0.0 in f00. Here is problematic code:

Probably inaccuracies in mul/div, but i'm not sure what's really going on. Maybe some minor inaccuracy result in denormal, and that get flushed to zero? Anyway. Replacing positive 0.0 to any low value seems to workaround issue without any side effect. Patch for SCES-50759 version of game. Patch replace 0.0 result with 0.0000100136.

You might consider it the "easy way out" but getting correct float emulation is far from trivial to correct. We'd have to come up with an accurate soft float implementation, then find ways to make it not slow, because it will be slow.
The patch is a good midterm measure.
It won't backfire at all. Removal of the patch is pretty trivial and we can label what it does.
Sure it could be possible to make it selective but we still have to redesign the jit to do that, not to mention the non-trivial implementation of soft float itself.
It probably doesn't matter for the purpose of resolving the issue in VF4 (Vanilla), but this version of the stage is replicated in the "Event Square - Underground fighting arena" area of Quest mode in Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution, and the flickering does not occur there.
Also, in VF4 (Vanilla), the flickering stops after the first round of the match--there is no flickering in subsequent rounds. The stage otherwise looks the same from round to round, as far as I can see.
