Here's a small gameplay video showing the online hosting and how the game runs now with the fixed sunglare textures.

It's perfectly playable now and the game is beautiful with FXAA + Texture Scaling and some Bloom Shaders added by LunaMoo. A Blur Postprocessing Shader would be awesome in this game. Wait... perhaps... if i add an enb and hook it to PPSSPP..!? Off for some testing i go Big Grin

Sadly though no one wants to play this game online. Still, i'm hosting it on coldbird.net in case someone wants to play.

Haven't tried Burnout Legends in a while, does the EA Trax Problem persist?

It was fixed ages ago on windows. I can't really tell you anything about Android though since i don't own one.

It's not really complex, just a bit fiddly to fix so haven't gotten around to it. I will someday

The sun black box is also visible in latest build 0.9.9.1 i hope someday it's fixed. This is a beautiful game i dont like to play with that black little box on the sun. Btw decent game speed but a little lag here and there - i use Samsung Galaxy S3.

Here's a video of Burnout Legends Online played on coldbird.net with 200ms ping average:

The cars do strange movements in specific parts of different tracks, i did some testing on Evolve playing with a friend in a 20ms latency evironment and the issue persisted. So i guess it's not lag related, although it did improve the weird car movements a bit, the issue was still present even when we both stationed our cars near each other and both cars were "bouncing".

I don't know what may be causing all this "bouncing", but high ping doesn't seem to be the cause.

Great videos. The game is working fine on PC. The music glitch is gone.

Can someone tell me why I have only 5-10 fps in menus, but during racing game is working great? How to fix this?

Thanks for hosting the games Goguma, i guess you're using DMZ, right?
It was really fun.

I don't know what could it be but i do know this game uses a lot of videos in the menus, your problem could be related to them.

It's the videos. It happens to me too if texture scaling is enabled (maybe our videocards are not up to par? Or maybe it's a bug. I'm not sure.) But the halfspeed menus and videos will go away when you disable texture scaling. Just increase the internal resolution and use postprocessing if you want visual enhancements.

Texture scaling is done on the CPU. We try to avoid scaling videos because it's so expensive but sometimes the detection fails I guess.

Maybe the detection failed because there's a realtime menu being rendered on top of the FMV?

Here's a video comparison:

Settings:

x2 internal res, hardware transform enabled, OGL buffered rendering mode (with simulate block transfer enabled), FXAA post processing, Texture scaling set to bicubic and auto

http://youtu.be/03Re7HJ5DUU

The intro video is struggling at half speeds but as soon as the race starts, it returns to normal 30/30.

...and then there's this video with the same settings, except texture scaling is disabled:

http://youtu.be/-91gFKio3YA

everything is smooth sailing at 30/30.

Using 64 bit version of PPSSPP v0.9.9.1-686-gd24abb3. Specs of the PC being used is Pentium G2020 (dual core Ivy Bridge @ 2.9 ghz), 4 GB DDR3 Ram, nVidia GT 240 gDDR5 (it's fairly weak as far as gaming is concerned but should be enough for PPSSPP at the settings used above.)

tintinmayo · 10-28-2014, 05:41 AM

As of v0.9.9.1-691-ge2926da the problem I noted above (where PPSSPP upscales FMVs if there's a non-FMV being rendered on top of it, like menus) has been fixed. The intro FMVs and menu on Burnout Legends no longer slow down even with 4x internal res + 3x texture upscaling (bicubic.) on my PC.

I didn't check if this is the exact build that fixed things. But whatever changes fixed things, it is already in this one. (I only download builds that merge changes to the main trunk.)
