Any reason to not use RoundSprite Full on Valkyrie Profile 2? Half: Full: Sure it's not perfect, but it's better here, how does it perform in the area you tested? |
|
Hmm, full roundsprite seems indeed better. I'll change it ASAP. |
|
With the same settings (x3 upscale) areas without too many glow effects such as some towns will look very sharp but the ones with effects will look very blurry and buggy, in this game the majority are the later. |
|
well, you're using patches to remove the effects, so I don't really count that. Try again without your patches and then we can consider it. |

I tried again with CRC hacks set to None (debug), 3x and enabling only "Round Sprite" set to Full on HW Hacks tab the results are the same as the screenshots I posted above. I also tried setting it to just "Half" and the results are a smoother screen but the blur gets more prominent, and with "Full" I get a sharper picture but there are a very noticeable weird invisible vertical line banding.

Trilinear filtering might not be ideal for Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance / Champions of Norrath. The only combination of settings that cause trilinear filtering to affect the fonts at all for me is: ...which produces a result almost identical to setting Bilinear (Forced) texture filtering (without trilinear), but with a significantly larger hit to performance (54 FPS vs. 37 FPS in one heavy scene in Champions). FMV software renderer switch may be unnecessary for the PAL versions of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Dark Alliance II - the videos look fine on all hardware renderers for me. |

@Dreadmoth Yeah, I just removed trilinear as it's more a mess to deal with. |
The game also needs round sprite half for the transitional areas and red forest because of vertical lines similar to Star Ocean 3. + other fixes, read the GameDB comments for more information. Relevant games: - Atelier Iris 3 - Grand Phantasm - Baldur's Gate - Dark Alliance 1 / 2 - Call of Duty 2 - Big Red One - Dark Cloud 1 / 2 - Mana Khemia 1 / 2 - Sims 2 - Castaway - Valkyrie 2 - Silmeria

The Baldurs gate font issues are more upscaling problems, trilinear is like a very bad plaster to cure covid. |
