[BLES00867] Megamind - Broken Depth of field

[Yahfz]

Broken DOF on both OGL and Vulkan.

Tried pretty much all the settings. All the buffers enabled, strict rendering, MSAA ON/OFF, Res Threshold 1024x1024, messed with res scaling and nothing fixed it.

The game looks like this:

I’ve found that leaving the resolution scale at 100% prevents the frame rate from going unstable, and that disabling and enabling reshade will sometimes make a frame render without the DOF.

Initial findings:
The game dowscales the input from an original 1280x720 image to 640x360. Instead of doing progressive downscaling using the GPU, the calculation is moved off-chip, I have yet to determine if blit engine continues to work on this or not. Eventually a very blurry image is given back for the 'full-strength' DOF and it is supposed to have a strength mask in the alpha channel. For some reason however, the strength mask is 1 everywhere in this game forcing it to have full DOF blur.

Force cpu blit gets rid of the blur

Time to retest.

Still an issue
