Resolution Scale does not work with some games

Resolution scale works when playing as the female at the start of the game, but after taking control of the male character resolution scale no longer works which I have set 300%. Vulkan and OpenGL same issue. I'm using build RPCS3 0.0.5-6593-a5e6fc4e5 Alpha. This issue has always been present when i'm testing this game.
My specs is:
i7 8700K @ 5.1GHz
RAM: 16 GB 4200MHz
GPU: GTX 1050 Ti
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

Here is the issue https://s17.postimg.org/x6goclm7h/Base_Profile_Screenshot_2018.03.25_-_21.15.20.60.png

Here is how sharp it should look https://s17.postimg.org/hxqqyune5/Base_Profile_Screenshot_2018.03.25_-_21.21.58.25.png

Bugs caused by resolution scaling can only be resolved by moving the resolution scale threshold to avoid scaling images below a given size. Start at 1x1 and move up with increments of 16 or 32 until the problem clears itself.
That said, they are not real emulator bugs, games are not meant to be upscaled and are coded with the proper resolutions in mind. Closing as not an error.

I tried what you're saying but in that one area the resolution scaling still isn't working. It's a bug with this game. Heck I tried 500% for Resolution Scale and 512x512 for Resoultion Scale Threshold. The graphics look pixaleted https://s17.postimg.org/a5ebvcs6l/Base_Profile_Screenshot_2018.03.26_-_11.08.40.32.png

Resolution scaling is technically a hack, also github has an edit feature.

Well I tried tinkering with every resolution scale yet the pixel count is still they same in that one area. Even at Resolution Scale 1x1 and 500% ( 6400x3600) the graphics is still pixelated with lots of jaggies in that one area. The first area of the game is fine and sharp, just the area where you play as the male is crap.


It's a bug, there's not doubt about it.

This is how crisp the graphics should look when rendering above the PS3s original resolution

If you want support https://discord.me/RPCS3 #help channel is the place for it. As kd-11 said earlier, it's not a real emulator bug. That being said, this issue is very rare the vast majority of games do indeed work fine with resolution scaling. If you want to continue the discussion we can talk there on discord, we really don't want to have github spammed.

It is a bug, because resolution scale should work properly throughout the game, not just one area.

@Lumbeeslayer fuck off

@Nikorasu95 not really, it depends on how the game renders stuff. Some textures may not scale in some parts. I'll tag @kd-11 for a final say

It's not the textures that aren't scaling, it's the 3D models. Another game I tested where resolution scaling isn't consistent is Nier. I have to set that game to 600% scaling just for it to look crisp. Sounds like to me if this issue happens on more than one game it's a emulator bug with rsx. Now as you can see in the pictures I posted the quality is much sharper at the first part of the game vs the 2nd part where you play as the male.

[kd-11]

There is no rsx bug. I can prove that scaling is working; in fact I'm sure we had this conversation before. Even if we upscale the game does some 2d operations on the final image that force the emulator to downscale to whatever resolution the game is trying to render at (usually 720p). This is where the detail is lost. The only way to bypass such problems is patching the game executable itself to skip this step. So, render at native and zoom in and compare with the result with scaling - it is not the same. There are a few other games that do this as well like soul calibur 2 and nier. Resolution scaling tries to cheat ay emulating the ps3, hacks like that will never be fully compatible with every game (same thing goes for anisotropic filter overrides).

I'm renaming and tagging this issue as a discussion for future references, because it's not the first nor the last time people will ask about this
