v1.3 OpenGL Completely broken

[cammelspit]

I will try it but I ran a burn in for 6 hours CPU and GPU at the same time right after installing so it is undoubtedly something specific to PPSSPP and more specifically something that has changed between the last time I used it 1.2.2 and now.

BTW, I tested 1.2.2 just now and it works perfectly without any issues of any kind in OpenGL so it is surely something that has changed since then that is the root cause. I went on ahead and enabled the server logging thing in the system settings. Direct3D still has the insane bloom lighting issue though so that has probably been a long standing issue. I used to always use OpenGL so that is probably why I never noticed.

Is there any kind of verbose logging or debug build of PPSSPP that I can run for you? Would a video be helpful to you in any way? Should I spend the time to bisect the revisions to find the exact change that caused this? Because it seems to me you don't believe me that I have already done all the troubleshooting that can be done to rule out my PC as being the problem and I won't take the time to do a bisection if no one is going to take it seriously. I don't mean to be an ass or anything but I am calling it as I see it. I have many years of experience with PCs and especially Windows so I always try to rule out my own hardware and software before I report anything. Seriously though, would a bisection be useful?

Alright, I just disabled my DGPU and the intel one worked. I then tried disabling the overclock and it worked. I then turned the overclock and the intel worked. Then I remembered something about AMD adding power saving features for the RX480. Now, I have a 380 BUT after doing some digging it seems the 300 series is also affected by the power management changes for the 400 series cards. On a lark, I just decided to give my GPU a little extra power, and that worked... So, it seems it is AMDs fault after all and to get a driver that worked out of the box, I would have had to go back literally months to find one from before the 480 released. As an FYI, My GPU is not overclocked, this is the stock from the factory speed for my GPU 1010Mhz but it is not the "standard" clock of an older model 380 so my guess is that the driver just wasn't giving it enough power thinking it should be clocked lower. I won't retract my previous post but I am willing to admit when my assumption of it being exclusively a PPSSPP problem was wrong. More power for the 300 series cards, this is what was needed here.

Thank you for at least taking the time to talk to me. I wouldn't have been so bound and determined to find the problem to 'prove' my hardware was ok if you hadn't. Maybe this should be something that should be made known to AMD 300 and 400 series users in case this ever happens to anyone else again?

Anyways, thanks again, now I think I am going to go play some games for a bit.

I lied again... It takes longer to happen now but it is still happening. I will do some more troubleshooting and let you know. For now I will try and just keep playing on 1.2.2 and see how far I can get, IF it happens at all. Now this is really getting annoying...
