Vulkan Mobile: Tilemap has rendering issues on MediaTek Dimensity SoC

[ModuleCode]

Godot version

v4.2.stable.official [46dc277]

System information

Windows 11- Godot v4.2.stable.official [46dc277] - Vulkan (Forward+)

Issue description

When I used Godot's Tilemap to package it for mobile Android, I found that if your phone has a Dimensity processor, it will cause tearing of the screen.

I don't have this problem when running on a Snapdragon processor

This problem exists in version 4.x
And this problem is randomly generated ,it is uncertain

Steps to reproduce

Use Android emulator or Dimensity to run it and you can see the error effect.

I have a feeling that this is a similar issue to those fixed by #84852 (but for textures) It might even be the same issue as #83481

In other words, I think it is likely an issue with how we readback memory from the GPU

CC @Alex2782 You may be interested in this issue.

@ModuleCode:

• how were you able to test it in the emulator? (as far as I know, the emulators do not have vulkan drivers)
• what system information / API version does adb show (emulator and MediaTek Dimensity)? see adb-examples below

@Alex2782
I tested many mobile phones (not simulators), but this problem does not occur on Snapdragon processors. This problem occurs on Dimensity processors, and it is uncertain. Sometimes the problem will occur, sometimes not. Running on a real phone requires a mobile phone with a Dimensity processor.

[ModuleCode]

This problem is solved

I set this option！！

[ModuleCode]

@Alex2782 Although my problem has been solved, logically speaking, it should also be able to run normally in Mobile mode (Dimensity processor), right? Because the Snapdragon processor can run normally in Mobile mode.

[ModuleCode]

The picture above shows the operation of the Dimensity processor. The picture below shows the operation of the Snapdragon processor.Uncertain white stripes will appear in the picture above.

[Alex2782]

@ModuleCode: please use adb exec-out screencap -p > screen.png screenshot via ADB, this way we can better compare the differences.

Your last picture, above Dimensity processor with GL / OpenGL also has errors? Or was that Mobile / Vulkan API?
--> adb logcat -s godot

It is difficult to recognise errors in pixel art graphics. But I can now also see them on my Samsung Tab S7 (Vulkan API / Mobile)

v4.2.stable.official [46dc277]. (Later I will try to check the last master branch.)

A) MacOS: Vulkan API 1.2.231 - Forward Mobile - Using Vulkan Device #0: Apple - Apple M1
B) Android (Mobile): Vulkan API 1.1.128 - Forward Mobile - Using Vulkan Device #0: Qualcomm - Adreno (TM) 650

A and C	B

[Alex2782]

That's strange, I see that the errors are constantly changing at startup. But copying "Tileset" once fixes the problem.

func _ready():
	$TileMap.tile_set = $TileMap.tile_set.duplicate()

[ModuleCode]

@Alex2782

1. The last picture has no errors when using GL/OpenGL, but there are problems when using Mobile/Vulkan API

2. All problems will not occur when set to GL/OpenGL, but problems will occur when set to Mobile/Vulkan API on devices with Dimensity processors and emulators

3. After I rewrite it according to your method, the problem still occurs in the case of (Mobile/Vulkan API)
   
   
   （There will be stripes on the tree on the right）

@clayjohn's "feelings" were right 😃 , fixed by #84852
maybe same issue? #71020

@ModuleCode: You could try again later with MediaTek Dimensity SoC and Vulkan API when version 4.3 is released.

Godot Engine v4.3.dev: I have restarted the demo over 10 times and could no longer recognise any errors. (Samsung Tab S7)

[akien-mga]

That fix was cherry-picked for 4.2.1, so please test 4.2.1-rc1 when it's released in a few days.

[ModuleCode]

@clayjohn的“感觉”是对的 😃 ，已由#84852修复，也许是同样的问题？#71020

@ModuleCode：您可以稍后MediaTek Dimensity SoC在 4.3 版本发布时使用 Vulkan API 重试。

Godot Engine v4.3.dev：我已经重新启动演示超过10次，并且无法再识别任何错误。（Samsung Tab S7）

Thank you very much, I tried to use 4.3 export Android running, the problem does not exist
