Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction graphical corruption on RDNA3

[LasagnaPie]

Quick summary

Black squares covers half the screen when using the Weapon Shop or Armor shop./

Details

Black squares covers half the screen when using the Weapon Shop or Armor shop, the larger the window the more it covers the screen. I tried deleting the cache and using the default configurations

This problem is worst in Ratchet & Clank Crack in Time, half the screen is covered in black transparent squares.

ps. this happens in Resistance Fall of Man

no issues here. you sure you have everything set up correctly. may be an RDNA3 issue i have the 6700XT

Your settings are bad, reset them back to default and test again

Makes no difference

Need new log and screenshot with the default settings

[kd-11]

Definitely RDNA3 specific. In case of hw-specific problems the first thing to try is actually strict rendering mode. However, knowing this engine I would also recommend to try default settings + MSAA disabled to rule out insomniac upscaling problems if present.

[LasagnaPie]

Still no fix with the latest version, i tried OpenGL and strict rendering mode, what is this black transparent square?

[AniLeo]

Can you upload a log using the latest RPCS3 version for either a Vulkan or OpenGL run, as well as a screenshot from the bug in OpenGL?

Using only the default settings + settings listed in the wiki page for the game

Also, in case someone out there has RDNA3 and Linux, it would be helpful to know if this bug also happens in RADV (I'm guessing not)

As suggested in the other RDNA3 issue, can you try the "high precision Z buffer" option with OpenGL to see if it's the same issue?

Right now we need:

• Screenshot of the OpenGL output for the same issue, to see how it looks like
• We're also looking for a RenderDoc capture of the issue, if anyone is able to provide one.

I noticed the same issue in Gran Turismo 6, but only when the game is running in windowed mode (like the screenshots above). Running the game in fullscreen doesn't show any artifacts on my 7800 XT.
Can confirm that, at least on GT6, it doesn't happen in RADV on Linux (even in windowed mode).

hello! I just wanted to say that I haven't been able to replicate the problem...I don't know if they've already fixed it? I have rx 7900 xtx, but my cpu is an intel 9900k

Can you upload a log file to see more system details? Also need confirmation from original reporter

The latest RPCS3 and AMD Drivers (Resolution Scale @ 300% 3840x2160)

Vulkan

OpenGL

There is a similar problem in metal gear 4 that I mentioned above kd 11... that solution must be from amd drivers?

Vulkan

OpenGL

[LasagnaPie]

This might be worth noting, but that corruption in Crack in Time starts at the bottom on the 1920th pixel (half of 3820)

Ratchet & Clank Future : A Crack in Time (Resolution Scale @ 100% 1280x720)

Same at native resolution on the 640th pixel.

are black squares a visualization of the stencil buffer?

[kd-11]

AMD is aware of the RDNA3 driver issue. Use OpenGL for now if you can until they release a fix.

After seeing LasagnaPie's reports, I went back into GT6 to investigate a bit the problem I noticed. In a race menu, this is what I'm getting with Vulkan while in windowed mode:

And this is how it looks in OpenGL:

Pressing Alt + Enter to go in fullscreen mode in my case makes the graphical artifact to go away. I took 2 RSX captures, one when the game was in fullscreen and the other when in windowed. Remove the final .zip extension before extracting the archives, I had to add it to upload files directly to Github.

GT6 Fullscreen (normal):
Fullscreen_BCES01893_20240206224543_capture.rrc.zip.001.zip
Fullscreen_BCES01893_20240206224543_capture.rrc.zip.002.zip

GT6 Windowed (graphical artifacts):
Windowed_BCES01893_20240206224841_capture.rrc.zip.001.zip
Windowed_BCES01893_20240206224841_capture.rrc.zip.002.zip

I have a RX 7800 XT, GT6 was running with 300% resolution scale (from 720p). This only happens in Windows as I don't remember seeing anything similar in Linux. I'm also getting driver timeouts with PCSX2 with the Windows + Vulkan combo that seem to be RDNA3 specific... Guess there's something weird going on with the AMD Windows driver on the RX 7000 series.

I can confirm i have the same problem on the Rog Ally. I tried with the latest OEM drivers and latest AMD drivers 24.1.1.
With open GL there are no black boxes, but the games look blurry every time there is a collectible (the collectible is in focus and every thing else is out of focus)

On the steam deck with vulkan renderer it looks fine.

The latest AMD Driver 24.2.1 fixes this issue.

Yup, can confirm also in GT6.

Closing as fixed by AMD.
