Linear texture filtering problem with later versions

[solarmystic]

@Nightquaker
This is a known issue, and I've already noted it for another affected game (Tekken 6) on the github 6 months ago here.

The short of it is that Linear Filtering has been broken for certain games since a certain commit.

The responsible commit is this one merged into master with v0.9.1-2045-ga3f2fcf.

If you have compiling abilities, you can resolve it by changing the following line of code located in GPU/GLES/TextureCache.cpp at line 524 from

Code:

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

to

Code:

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

which effectively reverts that commit back to the previous one before it for that file.
