[Bug]: Rush screen effect stays on screen after ending rush and breaks menus

[CLGZFGFrankerZ123]

Issue Summary:

The wind effect at the top and bottom of the screen that appears when Rush is activated doesn't disappear when Rush is ended, including when using an All-Out Attack. Skill selection and Shuffle Time menus are entirely black screens aside from text, but are still functional. Item selection is mostly a black screen. Wind effect does not disappear until the results screen.

Update: The wind effect also does not disappear as it should when fast forwarding text. The effect should disappear when fast forward is cancelled, either manually or automatically when a choice box pops up. Note how in the last screenshot, the fast forward icon is not highlighted in blue.

Reproduction:

Enter any battle and activate Rush. End Rush, then attempt to use any menu.

Or attempt to fast forward any dialogue.

Can you try with "Fix HUD" set to disabled in P3RFix.ini?

[CLGZFGFrankerZ123]

Disabling Fix HUD made no difference.

[Lyall]

Hmm, that's an odd one. The only things I could think of that would affect that, would be the HUD fix and maybe uncapping the framerate but you've tried with both disabled, so I'm not sure.

This may be a dumb question but, I take it this does not happen with P3RFix uninstalled/disabled? I quickly went in to Tartarus to try and replicate the issue but it's fine for me.

Here's a video of testing it on my end by just immediately rushing in a tartarus fight.

[CLGZFGFrankerZ123]

The game worked fine for 100 hours before installing P3RFix. I'll update this post after I try uninstalling it.

Edit: The game works properly with P3RFix uninstalled.

Okay that's good to confirm. So to try and find out what's causing it I'll need you to run through disabling some features then testing since I can't replicate the bug on my end. If you're up for that I would start by disabling both the intro skip and the uncap menu fps option in P3RFix.ini. After that if there's no improvement then we can try disabling more stuff.

[CLGZFGFrankerZ123]

Disabling intro skip and uncap menu fps did not make a difference.

[Lyall]

🤔 That's a weird one. What about disabling everything? So basically every option is disabled apart from pause on focus loss since that's true by default.

[CLGZFGFrankerZ123]

It seems to be related to pause on focus loss. I tried with everything set to false and nothing changed, but then setting pause on focus loss back to true fixed it.

Alright that's great that we've narrowed it down now. Can you try out this test build? It changes the way the pause on focus loss patch works.

P3RFix_v1.1.5_test_Steam.zip

[CLGZFGFrankerZ123]

The bug is still present in the test build.

[Lyall]

The bug is still present in the test build.

And that's still with pause on focus loss set to "disabled"?

[CLGZFGFrankerZ123]

The bug is still present in the test build.

And that's still with pause on focus loss set to "disabled"?

Correct.

Correct.

You're not using any other mods right? Just P3RFix?

[CLGZFGFrankerZ123]

Also correct. Just P3RFix.

[Lyall]

Alright, well leave it with me for a bit then. At least we know how to fix your issue by disabling the tweak to pause on focus loss for now.

I'll have to see if I want to do this the windows way or continue trying to do it the unreal engine way.

Edit: Added it to the known issues bit for now until I can fix it.

[Lyall]

Okay, here's another test build. Let me know how this goes for you.

P3RFix_v1.1.5_test2_Steam.zip

[CLGZFGFrankerZ123]

It is fixed, both in battle and in dialogue!

Edit: Oh no, tabbing out of the game keeps the cursor locked into the game window (or the center of the screen when pulling up a window ontop of the game), effectively disabling tabbing out entirely.
Correction: this only happens when the mouse controls the camera. Pulling up any menu or dialogue box, or entering combat is enough to get around this new issue.

Hmm, since we can now have access to what the window focus state would be. It might be possible to block background input of the mouse when "unfocused".

[Lyall]

This is fixed in v1.1.7 and the known issue of the mouse being captured if alt+tabbing while not in a menu has been added to the list.
