- Removes the old depth scaling using an overlay.
It was never going to work properly due to per-pixel stencil writes being unavailable
- TODO: Preserve stencil buffer during ARGB8->D32S8 shader conversion pass
- Some applications (e.g Backbreaker) use an evil hack to resolve MSAA.
The application respecifies a formerly AA region as a region with no AA then performs a framebuffer feedback lookup.
The old memory keeps AA during read, but writes back to itself with AA resolved.
This is evil on several levels but it just happens to work on PS3
- The benefits of FIFO optimizations are huge in some cases.
The optimizations also do not break any tested applications so no need to disable with strict mode
- A debug option is provided to disable this behaviour for testing
- Improves cleanup code to consist of 2 parts, remove then dispose. Remove
does not deallocate the item until dispose is called on it, allowing the
backends to first deallocate external references.
- Caller is responsible for managing list locking and tracking disposable list
of items when external references have been cleaned up before using
dispose method.
- Reimplements the AMD workaround using an identity buffer to avoid the performance hit of doing multiple glDrawArrays for every single compiled set
- Reimplements first/count allocation using a scratch buffer to reduce allocation overhead when large number of draw calls is used
- Improve dirty state tracking affecting program state
- vk: Refactor out transform constants upload into a separate channel to avoid if possible
transform data uploads are quite expensive
- Introduces a gpu program analyser step to examine shader contents before attempting compilation or cache search
- Avoids detecting shader as being different because of unused textures having state changes
- Adds better program size detection for vertex programs
- Improved vertex program decompiler
- Properly support CAL type instructions
- Support jumping over instructions marked with a termination marker with BRA/CAL class opcodes
- Fix SRC checks and abort
- Fix CC register initialization
- NOTE: Even unused SRC registers have to be valid (usually referencing in.POS)
- Readback does not work at all with float textures on AMD openGL
Driver throws a bogus OUT_OF_MEMORY error regardless of amount of VRAM and system RAM available
- vk: Clear dirty textures before copying 'old contents' in case the old data does not fill the new region
- rsx: Properly decode border color - seems to be in BGRA format
- vk: better approximation of border color to better choose between the presets
- vk: Individually clear color images outside render pass and without scissor
- vk: Fix renderpass selection for clear overlay pass
- vk: Include scissor region when emulating clear mask
NOTES:
- vk: Completely avoid using vkClearXXXXimage - its 'broken' on nvidia drivers
Spec is vague about the function so its not an actual bug
ClearAttachment is clearly defined as bypassing bound state which works correctly
- TODO: Implement memory sampling to simulate loading precleared memory if cell used memset to preinitialize the framebuffer
Autoclear depth to 1|255 and color to 0 is hacky!
Primary:
- Fix SET_SURFACE_CLEAR channel mask - it has been wrong for all these
years! Layout is RGBA not ARGB/BGRA like other registers
Other Fixes:
- vk: Implement subchannel clears using overla pass
- vk: Simplify and clean up state management
- gl: Fix nullptr deref in case of failed subresource copy
- vk/gl: Ignore float buffer clears as hardware seems to do
- Mainly affected are colormasks and read swizzles
NOTES:
- Writes to G write to the second and fourth component (YW)
- Writes to B write to first and third component (XZ)
- This means the actual format layout is BGBG (RGBA) making RG mapping actually GR
- Clear does not seem to have any intended effect on this format (TLOU)
Fixes the following issues on Tales of Vesperia which requires SRM.
- Blacked out scene after the sleeping dog now renders correctly
- Ghosting effect. The ghosting was most noticeable as a delay between the character rendering and the cell shading around the character. This appears to be gone with this change.
- GL queries share the target binding (not asynchronous!)
- Discard active queries by closing them, leave closed queries alone (nothing to be done for discard op)
- Reimplements render target views used for sampling
- Optimizes access using an encoded control token
- Adds proper encoding for 24-bit textures (DRGB8 -> ORGB/OBGR)
- Adds proper encoding for ABGR textures (ABGR8 -> ARGB8)
- Silence some compiler warnings as well
- TODO: Real texture views for OGL current method is a hack
gl/vk: Bump shader cache version
gl/vk: Disable anisotropic override when strict mode enabled as it is proven to alter some games negatively
gl: Clamp buffer view range to not exceed the backing buffer size. Also add assert for the same condition
- Track asynchronous operations in RSX core
- Add read barriers to force pending writes to finish.
Fixes zcull delay flicker in all UE3 titles without forcing hard stall
- Increase zcull latency as all writes should be synchronized now
- ZCULL unit emulation rewritten
- ZCULL reports are now deferred avoiding pipeline stalls
- Minor optimizations; replaced std::mutex with shared_mutex where contention is rare
- Silence unnecessary error message
- Small improvement to out of memory handling for vulkan and slightly bump vertex buffer heap
- Forces Bitcast of texture data if input format cannot possibly be the
same as the existing texture format
- rsx: Other minor improvements to texture cache :-
- remove obsolete blit engine incompatibility warning. The texture will be re-uploaded if it is indeed incompatible
- Implement warn_once and err_once to avoid spamming the log with systemic errors
- Track mispredicted flushes
- Reswizzle bitcasted texture data to native layout
TODO: Also needs reshuffle according to input remap vector
- gl: Do not call makeCurrent every flip - it is already called in set_current()
- gl: Improve ring buffer behaviour; use sliding window to view buffers larger than maximum viewable hardware range
NV hardware can only view 128M at a time
- gl/vk: Bump transform constant heap size When lots of draw calls are issued, the heap is exhaused very fast (8k per draw)
- gl: Remove CLIENT_STORAGE_BIT from ring buffers. Performance is marginally better without this flag (at least on windows)
- Identify depth textures reaching the gpu via shader_read upload path
- Use correct timestamp counter for opengl
- inline draw_state::test_property because msvc doesnt do it for us
- Implement flush-always behaviour to partially fix readback from a currently bound fbo
- Without this, only the first read is correct, as more draws are added the results become 'wrong'
- Fixes WCB and cpublit behviour
- Synchronize blit_dst surfaces to avoid data loss when gpu texture scaling is used
- Its still faster in such cases to disable gpu texture scaling but some types cannot be disabled without force cpu blit (e.g framebuffer transfers)
- Memory management tuning
- rsx: on-demand texture cache rescanning for unprotected sections
- rsx: Only framebuffer resources are upscaled
- Do not resize regular blit engine resources
- Lazy initialize readback buffer when using opengl
-- These measures should help minimize vram usage
- Do not assume texture2D when creating new textures
- Flag invalid texture cache if readonly texture is trampled by fbo memory.
Avoids binding a stale handle to the pipeline and is rare enough that it should not hurt performance
- vulkan: Do not assume an aux frame context must exist in a well defined state as set in init_buffers() since the request might be external (via overlays path)
- gl: Do not bother waiting for idle before servicing external flip requests
- gl: Queue overlay cleanup requests to ensure only glthread attempts touching the context
- overlays: Do not compute size metrics for invalid/unsupported glyphs
