AutoEFB forces Texture Only, results in bugged MP2 rain

Open milliero-se opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

Issue: The AutoEFB mod forcibly enables "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only" when the user has it disabled.

This setting causes visual glitches (black bars) on rain drop on the visor in MP1 and MP2. I only observed this bug in MP2.

Configuration: PrimeHack 1.0.8 flatpak, Ubuntu+Vulcan, Metroid Prime 2 in Trilogy, "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only" disabled.

Reproduction steps:

  • Start Trilogy and start Prime 2.
  • Go to the bog, find the rain, and look up.
  • Observe the black bars.
  • Look in your graphics settings and noticed that "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only" is forced on (bold).
  • Sigh

Workarounds:

  • Disable AutoEFB.

Since the AutoEFB setting was removed from the UI due to users' poor reading comprehension, this can be accomplished by appending AutoEFBMP = False to the [PrimeHack Misc] section of GFX.ini.

Relatedly, I had to find this setting by grepping the source. The wiki should be updated with this knowledge instead of referencing the non-existent AutoEFB toggle in the UI (this has already been mentioned in #140).
