Cold Winter (U) - Missing Menu Backgrounds H/W.

[AmbientMalice]

-PCSX2 version: PCSX2 1.5.0-20160108223555

-PCSX2 options: Defaults, no settings modifications affect the issue.

-Plugin settings: GSDX High Accuracy Blending for correct lighting and shadowing.

-Description: Cold Winter is supposed to display a blurred version of the current background when paused. Instead, it displays purple (or other coloured) lines.

-How to replicate: Pause the game or press SELECT to bring up the menu.

-Last known version to work: Never worked, to my knowledge.

-PC specifications: CPU: Intel Core Quad @ 3.2Ghz GPU:Geforce GTX 750ti 2GB OS: Windows 10 64 Bit

Other comments: EDIT: Only occurs on HW mode mode.

Correct behavior, from YT video:

Could possibly be the same thing as #852. Try it with OpenGL and see if the effect is rendered properly

[AmbientMalice]

Already running OpenGL with High Accurate Blending, which the game needs for correct shadowing. As I mentioned, it occurs with the software backend, too. I think Cold Winter has some core bugs.

You should know better by now.

I apologise, @bositman, I've gotten lazy with PJ64 and GLideN64, where version numbers basically don't exist.

No idea whether this would be helpful, but I made a gsdump of the issue.

Can you check the new version of GSDX OpenGL on this as well please?

[AmbientMalice]

This is still an issue. Occurs in both HW and SW renderers.

@AmbientMalice Any update on this issue?

[AmbientMalice]

It is now fixed in SW mode.

In HW mode, every time you pause the following error is printed in the log.

Vertex Trace: float overflow detected ! min 3.402823e+38 max 3.402823e+38

I tried the FB conversion hack and such and that did nothing.

Cool. The issue is that float texture coordinates (in the vertex) are too big for GPU HW unit (which translates to infinity, zero, NaN). If Q is uniform, we could compute S/Q and T/Q on the CPU.

Code is already done for sprite primitives but I didn't do it for triangles. It won't be difficult to add.
