Could be an invalidation/download issue.

This effect's not entirely on the GS, it downloads the depth buffer, then reuploads later.

I used the search engine first, but I probably wrote the name wrong, that's why it didn't appear. By the way, this bug still cannot be solved, right?

1.7.5003 Yes, the sun still goes through things

We still can't solve this error? :(

You have to wait for someone to be interested in investigating it.

Spamming the thread tends to do the opposite - causes loss of interest.

Hello, yes, I understand, I didn't want to spam, just ask if there was any progress on this, (my last question was 2 weeks ago), thanks for answering :)
