Also I just tried and the demo from here, and it works fine for me as well.



I'm on amd gpu so if it is a bug, could be nvidia specific. From what I noticed recently nvidia gpu's had an awful bug with drivers > 320.18 which was never fixed and they had to make a hack on pcsx2 to work around it. It was affecting dx11 and differently, but it could be something similar as it also only affected upscalling. v0.9.6-292-g4982c6b seems like a harmless crash fix related to debugger, so it doesn't really seem to be the cause.

Problem is, I used until yesterday the update 327.23 from a long time, never had any issues at all, but updating didn't fix it either. Usually I always use the default settings, avoid any speed hack, and only use harmless settings like upcasling along vsync and fps counter. Even if it should be a driver fault, why it does happen only when upscaling this specific game? This is just plain odd, if you ask me. Now I could open an issue on github, but I would like to avoid it until I find out that it's not caused on my end only.

Just to let you know, I tried with the demo and the result is the same (in case you were wondering if it was my dump fault). I even tried with disabling vertex cache (since sometimes can cause those kind of issue texture related), but with no avail.

EDIT: *Facepalm* I found out the problem, It was caused by the mipmapping option. Since the first time it was implemented I always used it, I realized that after testing the themo on my phone, the same settings gave the same result, so I tried to disable it, and guess what? Both on Windows and Android the issue is gone. Well, at least this makes sense XD.
