Description

This is from demo disc SCED-52933 but it's also reported in the full versions. While using any HW renderer, in 3rd person view a translucent black box covers the player's car and its dynamic shadow appears to be broken. Other cars passing through this box get their shadows turned into boxes too. Setting the HW hack "Skip Draw" to 1 is a known workaround but it disables the player's car dynamic shadow and some other effects. This bug is known in the wiki as "Broken Shadows".

The screenshots are so tiny they are of no use...

Did the isssue occurs in the SW renderer of the 1.2 release?

@bositman : Fixed it.

@gregory38 : The issue doesn't occur on SW renderer of 1.2.1 stable version. It works exactly the same as the software mode on latest dev build. though the D3D9 & D3D11 (hardware mode) on 1.2.1 don't have the vertical lines bug, whereas the current D3D9 & D3D11 ( hardware mode) have blue & red colored vertical lines which could only be solved by using Skipdraw to 1.

Because 1.2.1 set automatically skipdraw to 1.

Hum, it is likely related to a depth effect. Maybe it is related to #806

gregory38 avatar Oct 22 '15 11:10 gregory38

Just tried out #806 and the issue still exists.

Could you try #1306 (in case I'm very lucky)

gregory38 avatar Apr 25 '16 07:04 gregory38

Posting it here to safe anyone from trying, 1306 doesn't fix this issue.

Ok. I need to look into it but I guess there using a dynamic buffer width. It could explain why the left of the screen is correct.

gregory38 avatar Apr 25 '16 15:04 gregory38

This is a half screen bottom issue. It depends on which angle you rotate the car but it's possible to make the entire bottom half broken.
