Texture Filter doesn't works anymore.

[GuilhermeGS2]

There's too much time that it doesn't works, but I thought someone would fix. But I was wrong, now I guess nobody uses this option, I'm the only one.

The problem is that I love this option, mainly the filter Linear, it leaves the 2d graphics (or somethings like HUD or fonts) very beautiful, but it's not working for me anymore. I don't remember when the issue started, but I'd like someone fix. Thanks.

You are not alone.
I'm still hoping someone will fix it some day...I use Linear almost everywhere.

The first time I saw that problem,was when I tried 0.9.5 for the first time.

Yeah, now I remember. Started since the 0.9.5.

If some dev is interested,this is the problem rev
PPSSPP v0.9.1-2045-ga3f2fcf
https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/commi...cfd8d3a2c4
It works fine with 2042

Thank you!

Any news about this problem? Was not fixed yet.

If you self compile (which you should, if you have a machine capable of doing so), to get the old Linear Filtering behaviour back, just change the following line located in GPU\GLES\TextureCache.cpp from

Code:

if ((g_Config.iTexFiltering == LINEAR && !gstate.isColorTestEnabled() && !gstate.isAlphaTestEnabled()) || (g_Config.iTexFiltering == LINEARFMV && g_iNumVideos))

back to

Code:

if ((g_Config.iTexFiltering == LINEAR || (g_Config.iTexFiltering == LINEARFMV && g_iNumVideos)) && !gstate.isColorTestEnabled())

It's only a stopgap solution though, and will cause the issue it's intended to fix (the boxes in FFVII Crisis Core) to reappear again, but will allow you the freedom of applying forced Linear Filtering back to any game you want.

Thing is, forcing linear breaks things in some games when alpha test and color test are enabled.

But maybe people who choose to force linear are willing to live with those consequences... so I'm thinking of doing the above change.

Was there a reason for the removal? Just curious Some games look pretty bad without texture filtering IMHO.

[Henrik]

Well, if I turn the texture filtering back on when alpha and color testing is enabled, I will just get other complaints instead about colored fringing on sprites. Don't see a way to make everyone happy..

[vsub_]

Not really the best solution but maybe just having one more option that work that way(when alpha and color testing is enabled)will make the people currently not happy with that change,happy too.

I really don't know much about that issue TBH You mean how sprites get a weird pinkish outlining? Like how PSX emulators look weird when scaled to high resolutions?

[Henrik]

Yeah, exactly. That issue appears in many games if I restore the behaviour.

Put an on/off option so everyone will be able to make what they want

Problem solved...
