linux/Qt: broken rendering on Wayland

[gucio321]

Game or games this happens in

N/A

What area of the game / PPSSPP

Hi there, the app compiled against Qt and run on wayland looks this way:

(it is all white in fact, but screenshot system made it black. On startup, I can see the startup menu but it turns white (It seems like alpha gets from 255 to 0 instead from 0 to 255)

reffer #16163

What should happen

everything should work like on X11

Qt version aren't being maintained for a long time i think. Also, if you're using Debug version from recent commits it have some GPU-issue, even on Windows version, like crashes (Vulkan/D3D11), and black screen or messed up textures on PPSSPP UI (OpenGL/D3D9).

Does the same issue also happened on Release version?

[unknownbrackets]

There are validation handlers installed in debug mode that were tripping recently related to some depth and input attachment changes. I don't think it's related. I have not seen any messed up textures in the UI.

If you call PPSSPPQt with a game as an argument, does the game run? On most platforms, we get a backbuffer where we just don't care about alpha. I'm wondering if Qt is giving us a backbuffer where alpha is used by the compositor to blend against windows beneath it. We might not be careful to produce 100% alpha because other platforms don't care.

I haven't tried but when I run the game clicking on it, the problemm still exists

[hch12907]

It's pretty bad. On a HiDPI screen, the PPSSPP UI occupies only a quarter of the window, and the rendering is all kinds of messed up there (screenshot doesn't show it though).

[jiang131072]

There is a temporary fix for the problem in KDE. You may right click the title bar after launching to configure settings for specific programs (here PPSSPPQt). Add a attribute "active opacity" of 99%. Then put a pure black background window behind PPSSPP.

Is PPSSPPQt not supported anymore? I'm experiencing the same issues on Wayland. If it's not supported, there should be a deprecation notice or something during the install process.

[hrydgard]

Since when is there an install process?

Qt is indeed unmaintained except for keeping it building.

[devnoot]

I meant the build process

[hrydgard]

Right, I should update the wiki page I suppose. Or maybe someone will one day step up to maintain it..
