Persistent Visual Bug

Privateer · 06-23-22, 08:27 AM

I can't seem to narrow this down and am hoping someone more knowledgeable might have an idea. As you can see in the screenshots below there is this weird bug with the water on the left hand side of the screen. It persists across fresh installations both vanilla and different mod configurations. Being a Steam copy I thought it might be a saved shader so I cleared out the Steam shadercache and the Windows DirectX cache but it's still there. Any ideas?

SH3 does some of it's own shading by software. I don't remember what exactly. Some crude form of anti-alias? But it also had some pair of keys to increase and decrease. Those I don't remember either, but deep down in the archives it can be found. It worked on a non-steam install, so I am not surprised your clearing of the cache didn't help.

System specs?

I'm leaning towards the GPU. I have the same on my Notebook.
Danged Intel Graphics!

Thank you, I'll look into it.

Might just be it; my 390 died and I've been running off the HD4600 chip. I'm not sure though, the problem didn't start until after. It looked fine until the water glitched with a weather change randomly and it's been like that ever since.

In any case, I decided to wipe my Windows install on that PC. I guess I'll see if it's hardware related.

Install 'SH-5 Water For SH-3 Ultimate V10 16 Km'

Seems to fix that issue for me.

I like your User Name here.

Ask anyone that has been around long what MY user name use to be.

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

I was surprised that username was available, makes sense now! lol
