Describe the Bug
At certain stages of the game a white square appears in the top left, sometimes two squares and sudden fps drops some of which remain for whole sections of the game. the first dump has severe fps drop to 10fps that remain for most of that level.
It runs these sections fine in software mode.
Reproduction Steps
Play the game up to these sections on Vulkan. Software mode is fine.
Expected Behavior

although this isn't a fix for the problem, a temporary solution (to get rid of the white box) is to Disable the half screen fix, which I think is errantly firing in this scenario.
It doesn't fix the lighter top left corner (which is the right colour but investigating why it's only the top left), that's the less distracting part :P
Thanks I'll give that a go as a temp solution.
Do you know what the cause of the frame drops are in the top screen, Does the half screen help that too? EDIT: it doesn't help unfortunately. 10fps in last section of game.
PCSX2 Nightly - v1.7.4378
I just played through TC3 twice as player 1 and player 2 perspective and the fire area near the end played fine. Previously it was 10fps or less, now 60fps, so very much improved with up scaling (Vulkan, 1080p 3x)
If someone else could test and confirm?
I do still get a slight frame drop when that white square shows up in that section but it remains playable (goes back to 60fps). Your setting above to disable half screen fix does help. The main improvement i think is in the last part with the fire. Before it was unplayabley low fps.
seems alot better in v1.7.5332
from what i see HW is just missing like the blury like overlay
