[BUG]: Front Mission 4 broken shadows using any hardware renderer

[ajs91]

Describe the Bug

When using any of the hardware rendering options the shadows in Front Mission 4 are opaque and much larger than they should be. Happens on both my Nvidia and AMD graphics.

Reproduction Steps

Can be found in the opening in engine cutscene but is present throughout the entire game.

Expected Behavior

Shadows should be much smaller with a "softer" and transparent appearance like they are when using the software renderer.

Shadows look good to me?

[refractionpcsx2]

where did you get that dump? doesn't look that good to me on the dump I sent.

I see, I was playing back the wrong dump, named similar.

Changing CPU Sprite Render Size to 4 + Blending fixes the shadows. I've played through the tutorial stage & it doesn't look like anything weird is happening so far. Might need some fine tuning on other recommended default settings - I think it was only using Preload Frame Data before, so I haven't messed with it.
